Newton's Nook Challenge: A "Claw-some" Kitten on the Beach Slimline Card

Newton's Nook Challenge: A "Claw-some" Kitten on the Beach Slimline Card

Hello everyone! The merry month of May is almost over, spring is almost gone and summer is almost here! We hope you enjoy the last of spring and have a wonderful summer!

Let the crafting continue....we had a super fun week and weekend of crafting! I finally got some cards done for Newton's Nook Inky Paws monthly challenge! It is my first time joining and I am so excited.  This month is was a sketch challenge and I loved it. I wanted to do more but alas, I ran out of time so I just did the 4 cards! I could spend all day every day crafting but that pesky thing called work gets in the way! haha! Well I hope you enjoy this card!

Here is one of the cards:


I loved coloring and creating with this adorable kitten stamp set! It is already getting hot in Idaho, tomorrow is going to be over 90 degrees! Bring on the water and A/C! For this card I really wanted to do a slimline card to create the long shape for the crabs to crab walk on and I loved how it turned out! 

Products I used to create this card:

  • Newton's Nook Kitten Beach stamp and coordinating die set
  • Scrapbook.com mini crab die set
  • Altenew Shimmering Shore  Glitter Cardstock set
  • Stitched circle dies
  • Embossing folder
  • Simon Says Stamp Black ink pad
  • Simon Says stamp Nutmeg pawsitively saturated ink cube
  • Tim Holtz Distress Antique Linen ink cube
  • Various colored cardstock from personal crafting stash
  • Various colored fine line markers and colored pencils 

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of this card  and some of the products I used to create this card:

......and that's it! 

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and try something new!
