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 colors, Pine Bough Green, Christmas Red, Kraft, and Black, with your NND products. 

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

Danni Bindel showcases the Newton's Stocking stamp and coordinating die set. She does some paper piecing of the stocking to coordinate with the plaid paper in the background.  All those spectacular papers come from the Christmas Time paper pad. She die cuts her holiday sentiment in black using the Holiday Greetings die set. She uses the Framework die set to make all those fancy-edged layers. Darling!

Debbie Owens showcases the sweet trio of napping critters from the Fireside Friends stamp set. Those cuddling critters are placed in front of a gold holiday foliage panel (Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate). For her background, Deb uses the Hardwood stencil (retiring) on black and cut using the postage-edged frame die (Framework die set). Her golden sentiment uses the Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plate. What a cozy scene!

Amy Tollner uses a trio of mice from the Naughty or Mice stamp and coordinating die set for her festive holiday slimline card. Her trio of panels uses plaid paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad.  To make her layers she uses dies from the Slimeline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.  The glittery green paper looks fabulous!

Claire Lamb designs her own background using the sentiments from the Scandi Christmas stamp set.  Doesn't it look fabulous?  She then uses the Pines & Holly die set to create a gorgeous wreath.  For her sentiment, she uses the little banner die from the A7 Frames & Banners die set with a sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set.  A fabulously designed holiday card!

Crystal Minkler also uses the Newton's Stocking stamp for her darling holiday card.  She places her stocking on a stitched circle (Circle Frames die set) using the zigzag paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She embosses the white sentiment on a black panel.  Simply speCATular!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 8,  2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Sue T. features a plethora of stamp sets for her festive collection of tags. All the tags were die cut using the Fancy Edges Tag die and include papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. Starting at the top left, Sue uses the Poinsettia Blooms and Sentiments of the Season stamp sets. The top right tag's sentiment was created using the Christmas Roundabout stamp set and the Holiday Greetings die set. The bottom left tag uses the darling kitten from the Newton's Christmas Cuddles (Retired) stamp set. Her final tag in the bottom right corner features the Music stencil in the background and layers of fun greenery

using the Pines & Holly die set.  What a fun way to use all your favorite NND products!

Amy Tollner showcases the Jolly Tags stamp set with her beautiful coloring. She uses the coordinating die set, Tags Time Two, This stamp set is a fabulous way to make personal and darling tags for all your holiday gifts that match the paper or gift bag!  Sweet!

Claire Lamb showcases the recently released coffee-themed products! Each tag features papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad with a coffee image from the Time for Coffee stamp and die set. Can't you just imagine these tags hanging from a gift bag filled with coffee goodies!  Hope one is for me!

 Debbie Owens uses theChristmas Pheasant mini stamp set to make a duo of punny tags. She places them on a Kraft card base die cut using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. The gingham papers and jute twine give the cards a nice country feel befitting a pheasant!  

Diane Morales thinks outside the box by using the Newton's Stocking stamp set for her pastel collection of tags. She adds a little shimmery circle (die cut using the Circle Frames die set) behind the kittens to add the tags' strings!  What a clever way to use your favorite NND image as a tag!  Thanks for the great idea, Diane!
