Inky Paw's Challenge - Rainbow Theme

 

               Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Love and Chocolate

Petite Snow Stencil

NEW Banner Duo Die Set

Oval Framed Die Set

Inspiration in crafting comes from everywhere.

It this case it came from a box of chocolate matcha macadamias

 that my son brought back from Hawaii.

Those yummy green chocolates sent me down rabbit hole for this card.

First stamped out all the chocolates I wanted to use.

Next, I label everything for color and colored it in the chocolates.

After die cutting everything out,

I build my pile of chocolate on a strip of paper attached to the display base.

This strip of paper gave me the ability to layer one piece on top 

of the other and create a nice pyramid.

To create the card base I took inspiration from the oval display stand

 and used the scalloped oval from the Oval Framed Die Set.

To add interest to the card front, I used the Petite Snow Stencil

and Lost Shadow Distress Ink. That little bit of gray helps to pop the colors on the chocolate.

For the banner I used the NEW Banner Duo Die Set.

I heated up my foiling machine and using one of the dies I foiled on a bit of gold.

Once cooled, I stamped on my sentiment.

I hand cut around the foil banner and folded the banner to fit the front of the card.

I assembled my card base and adhered it to my stenciled card front.

My stacked-up chocolate was added to the front of the card with foam taped.

I also added on the banner to the front with foam tape.

To add a bit of sparkle I added matching petite gems.

I hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 150 - Sketch Challenge

 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

What an awesome sketch we have for you to work with.

Here is my take on the challenge.

It is blazing HOT in Texas right now.

I came up with an idea to create a card that was like the rainbow sherbet I loved as a kid.

It all starts with the background.

I used Lemon Chiffon cardstock and the Large Scalloped Rectangle

from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To create the element in the back I used the curved edge rectangle from

the same die set and white card stock.

I love texture in my cards, using the Petite Snow Stencil and Versamark Ink

 I stenciled on my little snowy dots and then heat embossed everything with clear embossing powder.

Texture achieved!

I used the Large Banner from the same die set to create another element in the background.

This time I used some Raspberry card stock and the little do-dad stamps 

that are in the Summer Scoops Stamp Set.

I did trim this banner down a bit to fit the style of the sketch.

Speaking of the Summer Scoops Stamp Set, that is my featured stamp set.

This is A Newton’s Nook Classic and one of my favorites.

I used bright citrusy colors to stand out on the front of my card.

To finish off this card I created a sentiment created from one of the Speech Bubble Dies.

I did trim down the die to fit the size I needed and rounded off the corners.

I also added a bit of sparkle with matching Stickles

Many Thanks! IPC 112

Who’s ready for a NEW Inky Paws Challenge!

Yes folks, create some snowy fun!

Check out my project!

It all started one evening when I was up in my crafty space.

I was messing around with the Evergreens Stencil.

 Just using scraps of leftover paper and color plucking whatever ink

 I grabbed from the ink drawer.

I ended up choosing a gray scrap and

Black Soot Distress Ink.

I inked out the trees and loved it.

Then I got an idea to make it even more awesome!

I made a quick mask for the trees.

Using the Petite Snow Stencil and Simon Says Stamp 

White Pigment Ink, I stenciled on some stars in the background.

The Penguin Pile Stamp set is my featured image.

Muted wintery colors are what I chose to color in my

 penguins with in keeping with the snow theme.

My sentiment is from the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set.

This is embossed onto the front of my card

with white embossing power.

Using the Mountains Stencil, I turned the stencil upside down 

and using the same pigment inks as before.

 This created the snow drifts at the penguin’s feet.

I had an awesome time creating this project!

My favorite part is the use of

 unconventional colors for a holiday card.

All by accident!

I hope this inspires you to mess around in your crafty space 

and see what you can come up with

 using the challenge theme!

Welcome to the second half of the current Inky Paws Challenge.

Here's the challenge sketch for you to check out.

This sketch is so much fun, but I might have gone overboard with this one.

This card starts with the background.

Using the Petite Snow Stencil and some texture paste on white cardstock.

When that was dry, I taped off some lines with blue tape and 

applied Black Soot Distress Ink over the top of it

The first set off “stripes” I dried with a heat gun and then

 taped off the center to create the smaller stripes.

Holding my breath for this part, I inked in the center part of my stripes.

With the background done and drying, I turned my attention to tag on the front of the card.

The background “hills” is vanilla card stock and the Sky Boarders Die Set.

Die cut out two “hills” and layered the “hills” on top of each other over some white cardstock.

I used the tag from the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, die cut everything out together.

Attach those “hills” directly onto the tag, leaving a little space in between for my trees.

The trees come next, using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set.

Using three of my favorite bright colors stamped out the trees, 

die cut them out and attach them to the front of the tag.

Time to add the snowman. He comes from the Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set. 

Keeping with bright color theme, I chose red for the scarf.

Finally, I stamped the sentiment from the 

Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set on the front of the tag.

The only thing left to do is attached the tag to the front of card.

For some flair, I added Nuevo Drops to the trees and the background behind the snowman.

YEP!  There is a lot going on this card but…

It’s just SO MUCH FUN to mix and match dies and stamps up.

I hope this inspires you to MIX IT UP.

Don’t forget to link up your project using the link in the challenge picture.

Thanks for stopping by.

Have a wonderful holiday.

Merry Christmas Tag IPC 85

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paws Challenge.

Check out these fun colors we have for you to work with.

Using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set 

and the challenge colors I came up with this tag.

Color challenges are the best! So many ways to use the colors.

I decided to start with a black and white color first.

I grabbed an oval die and some black and white paper from my stash.

The idea was to create a forest scene in the center of this pattern paper.

Once I cut out the oval Center, I got some heavy white cardstock and

my Land Boarder Die Set to create some hills.

I also use the Petite Snow Stencil to create a background.

A note on this, I did not run my stencil through Cuttlebug correctly.

Unfortunately, you cannot really see the pattern once it was photographed.

I decided that my group trees just need to be green, so I selected three

colors of green cardstock and I cut out my trees.

I assembled all of this on my tag and got ready to add my sentiment.

The red portion of my tag is pattern paper cut from the banner

portion of the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I use the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set.

I also die cut out one of those cute birds from my pattern paper

 and added that to my trees.

I love the Forest Scene Builder Die Set.

The trees are the perfect size for cards and tags.

I hope this inspires you to take some time and create something.

Thanks for stopping by.
