Inky Paws Challenge 238 ~ Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge {Week 1}

 Hello there crafty friend!

Who's up for a new challenge?! It's time to get our paws inky with a fun theme challenge! I always love the theme challenges! So many possibilities! You have until Friday, March 28th to get your entries in for the #238 Showers & Flowers Theme Challenge and a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!

Inky Paws Challenge #238 - Showers & Flowers

This will be a fun challenge! I'm excited to see the variety of cards that will be entered.

I stamped the adorable Newton's Rain Boots Stamp Set with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and colored it up with Copic markers. It's die cut using the coordinating Newton's Rain Boots Die Set.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used to color it up:

Kitty: YR21, YR15, YR27, R00, R20

Daisies: C00, C2, YG11, G14

Tulips: RV10, RV02, YG11, G14

Boots: V000, V12, V15, Y11, Y15

Duck: Y11, Y15, YR21, YR15, YR27

The beautiful pattern papers are from the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad. I die cut the pretty paper using the hill die from the Land Borders Die Set. The vellum layer behind the kitty was die cut using a die from the Circle Frames Die Set. 

I adhered all the layers to a white A2 top fold card base. I adhered the kitty to the vellum circle and then applied glue to the vellum just behind the kitty so it wouldn't be visible through the vellum. I stamped the sentiment and adhered it directly to the card.

Now it's your turn to get your paws inky with your Newton's Nook Designs products and create a project using this fun theme. Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge! Can't wait to see your projects!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Membership Wednesday ~ February 2025 KOM The Sweetest Spring ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a sweet card featuring the adorable duck from the February 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity called The Sweetest Spring. 

I just had to ink up the adorable ducky from this month's KOM! It's just too cute! I stamped the duck with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with some Copic markers.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Duck: Y000, Y11, Y15, Y17

Bill: YR21, YR15, YR24

Bucket: N0, N1, N3, N5

I was inspired by the Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 29. The sketch challenge ends on Monday, February 24th. I'd love for you to play along if you have time!

I paired up the cute duck with the pretty Cloud-Hopper Chronicles {paper pack}. I love the spring colors in this paper pack. Perfect to pair up with the duck!

I stamped and trimmed up the sentiment. I adhered the sentiment directly to the card, but I popped up the duck on the card. I finished off the card with a few white enamel dots. A simple card, but I think it's fun!

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership! So cute!

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps! And if you're inspired by the sketch, I'd love to have you join in the fun and play along with us. Remember the sketch challenge ends on Monday, February 24th at 11:59pm PST. Have an inkredible day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal

Membership Wednesday ~ January 2025 KOM Kinda Made for Each Other ~ Unity Stamp Co.

Hello there crafty friend!

Happy Membership Wednesday! Today I'm sharing a sweet card featuring the super cute duck from the January 2025 Kit of the Month membership from Unity called Kinda Made for Each Other. 

I just had to ink up the adorable ducky from the KOM! Isn't it just too sweet!? And I think it'll be a nice Valentine's Day card for my daughter. I stamped the duck with Black Amalgam ink and colored it up with some Copic markers that coordinated with the papers I chose ahead of time.

Here's a quick list of the Copic markers I used:

Duck: Y11, Y15

Beak / Feet: YR21, YR15

Coat: R20, R81, R14, R85

Hat / Scarf: E50, E21, E23, E25

Heart Balloon: R00, R81, R85

Here's a look at the fun sketch for Tawny Owl Paperie Inky Inspiration Sketch Challenge 28. The sketch, as always, is meant to inspire not require. So let the sketch lead in your design, but don't feel limited by it. I feel my cards are a good example of that, as I'm always making adjustments... like this time I only used five pattern papers that I die cut.

I paired up the sweet duck with the beautiful Gosh, I Love You {paper pack}. As I mentioned above I die cut five of the pattern papers using a couple of postage dies from the Postage Stamp {nesting dies}.

I stamped and trimmed up the sentiment. I added foam tape to the back of the sentiment and the duck and popped them up on the card. So fun! I love how it turned out!

Here's a quick look at this month's Kit of the Month membership! Love it!

Well, that's it for me today! I hope you've been inspired to play with your membership stamps! And if you're inspired by the sketch, I'd love to have you join in the fun and play along with us. The sketch challenge ends on Monday, January 27th at 11:59pm PST. Have an inkredible day!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

See ya next time.

Inky Hugs,

Crystal
