Inky Paws Challenge #163 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 Theme--Create a Tag!

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

Can't decide on which stamp set to use on your tags? Be like Sue T.

and don't stop with just one stamp!  Use all your favorites! Sue uses the  Fancy Edges Tag die set for her tag base. She uses the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set to stamp all those pretty snowflakes. Then the fun begins: Top left tag uses the Winter Memories stamp and die set. Top right tag uses the Snow Much Cheer stamp and die set. Bottom left tag combines the Newton's Christmas Cuddles (retired) and die set and Whispering Pines stamp and die set.  Bottom right has images from the Snow Globe Scenes stamp and die set. 

Amy Tollner's holiday tags are filled with holiday cuteness!  Starting with a Kraft tag base die cut using the Fancy Edges Tag die set, she adds festive paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. Then comes she adds our favorite mischievous Newton playing with all the holiday trimmings!  These fun images are from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp and coordinating die set. As a cat lover, having these tags on my packages would be totally a-meow-zing!  

Claire Lamb creates a pair of bookmark tags that will inspire the receiver to jump right into a book just to use them!  On a fun polka-dotted background, Claire adds a color coordinating banner on which the sentiment has been stamped as well as the stack of books and critters from the All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the Bookmark die set which makes making book marks a cinch!  

Debbie Owens  makes shaker tags using the Ornament Shaker die set. With a distressed green background, she stamps a holiday sentiment onto each tag (Newton's Candy Cane and Ornamental Wishes stamp sets). She adds a fun peppermint mix for her shaking elements. Paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad is added to finish the darling ornamental tags!  Such a fun idea!

Diane Morales creates a pair of holiday bookmark tags featuring two of her favorite mini-stamp sets!  Using papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and the newly released Bookmark die set, she creates the tag base. She then adds the darling lamb from the Fleece Navidad and die set and the handsome toad from the Mistle Toad and coordinating die set. What a fun way to give a tag that can double for a bookmark!  Super fun and clever!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 17, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Inky Paws Challenge #161 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--

Red, Dark Green, Light Green, and Brown

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

 Debbie Owens cleverly combines sets to create a caffeine Christmas card. Starting with the Circle Frames die set, she creates her card base. She fills it with some paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She pulls the latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set and places it in the hands of one of the mice from the Naughty or Mice stamp set. For her sentiment, she pulls the words "A Christmas" from the A Kitten Christmas stamp set and "Espresso" from the Love Cafe stamp set. 

Diane Morales designs a square cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames Squared die set and tree-filled paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  She then adds one the darling dinos from the Prehistoric Christmas stamp and die set.  Isn't he just too cute with the pine trees in the background. She stamps her sentiment on a red banner adding a nice pop of color!   

Sue T. designs this stunning card. Sue has distressed snowflakes using the Snowfall stencil on a dark brown card base. Then die cuts using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She adds beautifully colored flowers from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. She stamps sentiments from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on two banners die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. The brown and red combination is so striking!

Amy Tollner creates a merry and bright card using the green gingham paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She places the ever so cute toad from the Mistle Toad stamp and die set on a Kraft scalloped circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set. She embosses her sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on a banner die cut using the Banner Trio die set. 

Claire Lamb showcases the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set in a tri-fold card, and it's amazing!  On a Kraft card base, she repeatedly white embosses the background using the Heartfelt Holidays stamp. Using the Heart Frames die set, she cuts the heart-shape window with the beautifully colored image from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set showing through. She stamps the sentiment and adds scallop edging using the Sky Borders die set. Just love this!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 19, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
