Don't forget - 
There's still time to play along with our 

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the challenge sketch.

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Claire Lamb has her kitten making snow angels on a snowy day! With a pretty snowy sky and hills of snow made using the Land Borders die set, Claire adds a rainbow scarf and coordinating hat to her kitten from the Snow Angel Newton stamp and die set.  She adds banners using the Frames & Flags die set. A darling way to spend a day!  

Debbie Owens' card has Newton aiming for twinkling stars. She creates her starry sky using the Starfield stencil and gold foil. She continues the gold theme by die cutting a gold frame using the Framework die set.  Flying across the sky is Newton from the Newton's 4th of July stamp set. A fun sentiment from the Cosmic Newton stamp completes her fun card!

Diane Morales creates a fun Valentine's card just perfect for a little (or not so little) boy! She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil to create her background of hearts. Then uses the  Circle Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets to create the black banner and circle frame.  She features the backhoe and safety cone images from the Love Quarry stamp and die set. A darling interpretation of the sketch!

Sue T.'s card is just so pretty with all the pink!  She uses the Tumbling Hearts stencil for her center panel and adds the playful kitty from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set. The polka-dotted heart is so cute!  To complete her card, Sue uses the Frames & Flags die set for her white panel layer and her pink banners. She uses a die from the  Speech Bubble die for her sentiment. So Valentine-y!

Amy Tollner gives us a beautiful snowflake card in blues and silver! She uses silver glitter paper for her banners (die cut using the Frames & Flags die set) and background layer. Using the Beautiful Blizzard stamp set, she heat embosses the fragile snowflakes in white and distresses the background in shades of blue.  She heat embosses the sentiment on a little banner using the Banner Trio die set. Such a beautiful, sparkly card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, January 28, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Inky Paws Challenge #138 Reminder

Don't forget - There's still time to play along with our latest Inky Paws Challenge!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the sketch below:

    We are sad to announce this will be Crystal Komara's last card as a DT member.  She has truly been inspiring with her amazing creativity, and hopefully we can have her back for a surprise guest appearance.  We wish her much happiness in 2021!  

Crystal Komara's white and teal colors make for a beautiful winter card! Her teal scallop-edged layer is die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. She adds a light-teal gingham paper and uses the Houndstooth stencil to create her vertical panel.  She embosses the large snowflakes from the Beautiful Blizzard stamp and die set and adds a gem in each center.  A bit of matching twine finishes her soft and lovely card!  

Puppy and plaids, oh my!  Diane Morales uses grays, black and red that are a perfect combination for this puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp set in his red boot!  She uses the Circle Frames die set for her circle elements. Don't you just love the little bone and the gingham bow! A wonderful way to send holiday greetings to your dog-lovin' friends and family!

Sue T. uses creams and neutrals for this amazing winter card! She adds a cream layer die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set on a Kraft card base. She then embosses all those snowflakes using the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set and die cuts the circles using the Circle Frames set. Paper with a musical score sets you up to begin singing when you see the sentiment "Baby, it's cold outside!"  The snow couple from the Frozen Friends stamp set adds a fabulous playful touch to this elegant setting. 

 Becky Noelle turns the sketch to create this scene of holiday "chaos!"  On a white card base, she embosses a white brick wall. The stripe on the sketch becomes the floor created using pattern paper.  For her trio of circles, she uses the three ladies from the Christmas Trimmings stamp and die set. A fun way to interpret the sketch and bring holiday smiles!

.

Debbie Owens coordinates winter-themed papers with the sleigh-pulling deer from  Festive Fawns stamp set. She uses the Frames & Flags die set on the snowflake paper to create the scallop edges.  Using dies from the Circle Frames set, she creates a trio of circles in coordinating papers.  A bit of jute twine and silver dots embellish this delightful card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 18, 2020 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Here's one created by me! I used Winston dressed in his sweater from the new Sweater Weather stamp set and colored his sweater using the color combo! The colors really pop off the white card base!
