She then features the Fall Friends stamp set with a kitty from the Fall Harvest stamp set. She places her sentiment on a banner using the Frames & Flags die set. Such a fun, cozy scene!

Inky Paws Challenge #210 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?

Here's a refresher.

Use the challenge sketch above with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

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

Claire Lamb combines the Candy Corn Newton stamps and die set with the Candy Corn stamp and die set to make this darling Halloween card! The little splattering of paint in the background adds extra texture and the trail of candy corn candies works delightfully with Newton in his candy corn costume!

Crystal Minkler designs this delightful coffee-themed card! She uses papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. Love those colors! She then adds her gray tabby kitty from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set. To create her different layers she uses dies from the Frames Squared and the Frames & Flags die sets. Speaking of coffee, did you know that Newton's Nook Designs is a super sponsor for the 2023 Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers blog hop?

Love pie? Then you are going to love Danni Bindel's card. She is featuring the papers from the Autumn paper pad. Doesn't the pie paper work purr-fectly with our little greedy kitty from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp and coordinating die set. The postage-stamp edging was created using the frame die from the Framework die set.

Debbie Owens is getting ready for our little man in his red and white suit from the Dear Santa stamp set. She combines holiday papers from the Christmas Time and the Canine Christmas paper pads. Her green scallop-edge background used the Frames & Flags die set. A fun holiday card!

Amy Tollner showcases the vintage truck from the Harvest Haul stamp and coordinating die set. The harvested produce has been wonderfully colored. Amy pulls papers from the Autumn paper pad that work perfectly with the truck!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, November 10, 2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
