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

Diane Morales showcases these sweet puppies from the Christmas Puppies stamp set and die set on her duo of tags.  She pulls festive papers from the Christmas Time paper pad as well as the banner die from the Slimline Frames & Window die set. These sweet tags will definitely adorn packages quite nicely.

Amy Tollner creates a lovely living room scene just perfect for these tired fur balls.  She creates a subtle "wallpaper" using the Serene Stripes stencil die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set.  Asleep on her pretty blue chair are the fur balls from the Christmas Nap stamp and die set. Her glittery sentiment is also from the Christmas Nap die set.  

Claire Lamb uses light distressing of pink for her living room walls.  She, too, is showcasing the Christmas Nap stamp and die set.  Aren't her fur babies just adorable atop the blue, plush chair? Claire pulls the sentiment from the Winter Birds stamp set.  Definitely a warm, cozy scene!

Debbie Owens creates a window-like shaker card looking outside at the festive critters from the  Caroling Newton stamp set singing to their hearts' content.  She uses dies from the Frames & Flags die set to create the window frame. For her background, she uses the Evergreens stencil with blue deco foil.  Other products used include the speech bubble from the Speech Bubbles die set and the Land Borders die set for the snowy ground.  Doesn't the white glitter make for the perfect fluffy snow?  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 2, 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 #185 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 colors--

Coral, Wine Red, Denim Blue, and Caramel Brown.

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

Claire Lamb creates this spectacular card using only dies!  Wow!  She creates a stitched card base using the Frames & Flags die set and lightly adds some splatters for texture.  She then creates a beautiful floral arrangement by layering flower die cuts from the Flower Trio die set for her poinsettia. She adds foliage using the Pines & Holly die set.  She uses the word dies from the Christmas Nap die set in glittery gold paper for her sentiment.  Spectacularly done!

Debbie Owens' plaid background (Plaid Stencil) gives her card a warm, autumn feel.  She adds a blue vintage truck (Harvest Haul stamp set) filled with a bushel of dark red apples and a pile of coral-colored pumpkins. To complete her card, she uses the Circle Frames die set for the Kraft circle, Frames & Flags die set for the card base, and a sentiment pulled from the Fall Fringe stamp set.  A beautiful card with a warm, flannel feel!

Diane Morales cuts strips of paper in the challenge colors for a fabulous striped background.  Look closely and you'll see subtle snowflakes floating down.  She then adds the Snowflake Oval stamp set atop a scalloped frame (Oval Frames die set).  The darling snowman and puppy image comes from the newly released Holiday Heights stamp and coordinating die set. Don't you love how the snowman's scarf mimics the stripes of the background?  A red wine banner with the embossed sentiment completes this playful card!

Amy Tollner adds a pair of Dachshund puppies from the Holiday Hounds stamp and coordinating die set on her long slimline card featuring dies from the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set.  Using the Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set, Amy distresses a light blue sky complete with tiny snowflakes using the Petite Snow stencil.  Such a sweet, serene scene!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 4, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
