Inky Paws Challenge #139 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--Cozy Winter.

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

Amy Tollner shows us how to spend a wintry day--snuggled up reading a book!  Set on a teal base die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set, she adds a window frame with a winter scene outside. The snow is made using the Petite Snow stencil. The hilly ground uses the Land Borders die set, and the trees were made using the Forest Scene Builder die set. Inside away from the chilly elements is the image from the A Cozy Day stamp set shaded in soft pastel hues. Don't you just want to curl up in that chair too?  

Becky Noelle creates a snowy card by using the Snowfall stencil for her falling snow.  She then adds lots of snow people from the Frozen Friends stamp set. She shades each scarf in a color of the rainbow, and the effect is spectacular! 

 Debbie Owens begins with a teal plaid paper die cut using the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She then adds a wood grain paper die cut using the rounded-corner die from 

Frames Squared die set. She uses the image from Fireside Friends stamp set.  Don't her critters on the teal throw rug look sweet as they soak up the heat?  She adds a jute twine bow to add a bit of country charm.  

Diane Morales goes with a pink and teal color scheme that is so cheery and bright!  Using the Frames Squared die set, she creates her square base.  She adds some hilly terrain using the Land Borders die set.  Her trio of kitties all cozy on their sled from the Newton's Toboggan stamp and die set are all set for some wintry fun!  The little pink banner was die cut using a die from the Frames & Flags die set. Cuteness!

Sue T.'s card is filled with mugs of hot chocolate--the perfect drink on a cold, wintry day!  Sue uses three mugs from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set. With the trio of squares aligned vertically, she adds a splattering of snowflakes.  The mugs are popped up with foam tape to add a nice dimension to this savory card!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, January 15, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Inky Paws Challenge #112 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.

Theme Challenge

Create a project using the theme--Snow Day.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Diane Morales has her daring kittens from the Newton's Toboggan stamp and die set sledding down a steep slope!  For her background, she uses the Argyle Stencil Set in a blue and white pattern on a Kraft base and adds some snowflakes for a nice wintery touch.  Such a light, playful card! 

Sue T. creates this darling red and white card by creating a border of red snowflakes using the Snowfall Stencil. With a red circular background, she adds the darling calico kitty from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp and die set peeking out from the snowman with his red & white scarf! She adds the "Believe in the Magic of the Season" sentiment from the Winter Memories stamp set. She adds decorative red & white washi tapes and a splattering of red little snowflakes as her final touches. 

Becky Noelle uses the Main Street Christmas stamp and die set to make a tri-fold card!  This cleverly designed card makes you feel as if you are traveling down the streets of a quaint Christmas village. It looks like it might be a crisp, chilly morning with her clear blue sky and snowy ground. She selects a fitting sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set.

Bobbi Lemanski creates a picturesque scene from the snow covered evergreen trees to the holiday-colored camper!  She uses the Evergreens Stencil and adds layers of snow to the boughs. She then adds the vintage camper from the Cozy Campers stamp set and colors it in reds and greens. Those red & white peppermint curtains make a perfect holiday touch. She then stamps the big, bold sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set.  Wonderfully done!

 Debbie Owens captures the playfulness of a snowy day! Using the Mountains stencil, she creates some distant mountains against the blue and purple sky. She adds a couple layers of snowy hills using the Land Borders die set. She uses the Framework die set to give the edges a postage-stamp look. She then adds the trio of gray kittens from the Newton's Toboggan stamp set as well as the snow building kitty from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set. She stamps some snowflakes and adds sequins for some snow flurries. 

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 13, 2019 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - view all the entries and see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
