Here's a refresher.

Use the challenge sketch with your Newton's Nook Products.

The Inky Paws team have some amazing cards to share with you using this fun, funky sketch!  

Crystal Minkler is looking towards the holiday season with this festive card featuring a snowman mug from the Cup of Cocoa stamp set set upon the stitched circle die from the Circle Frames die set. Crystal selects 3 fun papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad to create the festive background!  

Danni Bindel is in Halloween mood using papers from the Halloween Time paper pad. She uses the spookily-cute spirits from the Ghostly Good Times stamp and coordinating die set. For added fun, Danni uses the zig-zag frame die from the Frames & Tags die set to create the edging as well as the stitched circle die from the Circle Frames die set for the sentiment. 

Debbie Owens  also uses the Halloween Time paper pad and the Ghostly Good Times stamp set, but creates a totally different look than her teammate Danni!  She pairs her little ghost with the haunted house from the Spooky Street stamp set atop a vellum panel using the Basic Frames die set. She adds a sentiment using the Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates. How fun to mix and match NND products to produce fun cards!

Amy Tollner uses a birthday theme using the challenge sketch, and it's just precious!  She pulls her pastel papers from the Birthday Woofs paper pad and pairs them with the little puppy from the Puppy Playtime stamp and coordinating die set. His little hat is so cute!  Her sentiment is placed on a stitched circle using the Circle Frames. Cuteness overload!

Claire Lamb is showing off her amazing distressing skills with this monochromatic birthday card. To create this fab card, she uses the Bokeh Balloons stencil set with a sentiment from the Best Mom Oval stamp set a top stitched panels using the Basic Frames die set.  Always fun to see custom made backgrounds using stencils!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 13,  2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here.
