Inky Paws Challenge #164 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'a a refresher.

Create a project using the Colors: Candy Red, Cream, Cocoa Brown, and Pewter Gray.

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

Amy Tollner's book marks created using the Bookmark die set will have you pulling out a long book just for a chance to use them! She gives the book marks a vintage look by distressing the edges and coloring the stack of books in browns. Those tall stack of books with the cute critters atop them are from the All Booked Up. She uses the coordinating die set to create the paw print and sentiment. Fabulously done, Amy!

Claire Lamb sends puppy cuteness with this darling thank you card! She distresses the middle section of her card on which she places the pair of puppies from the Puppy Pals stamp and die set. She pulls sentiments from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set and heat embosses them in white. A delightful way to send thanks!

  

Debbie Owens creates a beautiful wintry scene using the Land Borders die set, trees from the Forest Scene Builder die set, and the Snowfall stencil. She adds the fawn pulling her sleigh of packages from the Festive Fawns stamp set. She adds a bit of twine for her finishing touch. Oh so sweet!

Diane Morales is back with one of her amazing shape cards!  She uses the Hearts Frame die set to create the base, and she stamps the Heartfelt Love stamp set and colors all those fun hearts in the challenge colors. She heat embosses the sentiment on a banner using a die from the Banner Trio die set. Don't you love how the card swivels to open?  So fun!

Sue T. shows her creative thinking by pairing the challenge colors with sharks! How fun! On her scallop-edged cream layer (Frames & Flags die set), she adds gray waves using the Waves stencil. She uses the Shark Frenzy stamp set to stamp the shiver of sharks on a tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. For added fun, she adds the sentiment on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set. What a super fun way to use the challenge colors!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, January 14, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

 Debbie Owens' card looks like a box full of chocolates!  Her glittery coppery background die cut using the Frames & Flags die set showcases the newly released Heartfelt Love stamp set die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Heart Frames die set. She shades the little hearts in shades of browns and caramels.  She adds a bit of Glossy Accents to add some shine to the chocolates. She adds a light tan crimped strip with a brown ribbon and bow. For her little sash across the heart, she combines sentiments from the Heartfelt Love and the Love & Chocolate stamp sets.  Delicious!

Diane Morales designs a fun Valentine's card showcasing the octopus from the Tides of Love stamp and coordinating die set. She creates a watery backdrop using the Bubbly stencil. She die cuts this in a heart shape.  She adds the sentiment embossed in white on a black card stock strip and a trio of pink hearts.  All of this sits atop a fun white paper with vertical black stripes  Punny and playful!

Sue T.'s sweet card combines love with some wintry fun!  She places a white heart-shaped doily atop a kraft card stock and adds a snowflake paper for her strip.  She adds the cute snow couple from the Frozen Friends stamp set. She colors the scarves in pretty red and adds red & white twine for her final touch. A lovely way to tell someone you love them!

Amy T. shows us the power of caffeine and cats with her cute, colorful card!  She stamps and colors all the kittens and cup from the Caffeinated Cats stamp set and die cuts it all using the Framework die set. She adds a light tan stripe with the sentiment from the Newton Loves Coffee stamp set.  Her red, glittery heart is die cut using the Darling Hearts die set. A jute bow is a wonderful finishing touch!  

Claire Lamb opts for puppies for her card.  She uses two of the puppies from the Delightful Doxies stamp and coordinating die set and places them on a background with puffy pink clouds created using the Clouds stencil. She creates layers of hearts include a large clear one that allows a glimpse of the inside of the card.  A marvelous way to utilize dies and add a creative feature!  Wonderfully done Ms. Claire!
