Inky Paws Challenge #109 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Theme Challenge

Create a Halloween, Thanksgiving, or Christmas project!

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge:

Becky Noelle creates wrapping paper for her "present" card. She uses the Snowfall stencil with red foil and her Minc machine. She adds red ribbon with white stitching on the edges. For the present's tag, she cuts her tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She stamps the sentiment from the Christmas Haul stamp set as well as the present-laden lady. She colors the image in red, greens, and blues and finishes with a big red ribbon bow!  Darling!

Bobbi Lemanski shows us the magic of gingham with her trio of holiday tags!  She creates her backgrounds using the Gingham Stencil. She uses the big sentiments from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set. She adds the super darling puppy images from the Winter Woofs stamp set. She adds gingham ribbon bows at the top of her tags. Her use of red, white, and black makes for super festive holiday cards! 

Debbie Owens creates a darling Christmas card using nontraditional colors. She begins with a black card base and adds an olive green gingham frame using the Framework die set. She then uses the Music stencil and pink deco foil to create a textured layer which she die cuts using a die from the
Frames & Flags die set. She colors the trio of kitties from the Caroling Newton stamp set in olive green, pink, and teal and adheres with dimensional foam.  She then heat embosses the sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set and die cuts using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Fun colors for a holiday card!

Diane Morales creates a bright, delightful Halloween card!  She creates her background using the Cascading Stars stencil. She used texture paste and sprinkled Holographic powder on it while it was wet (but didn't use a heat gun).  Love the sparkle!  She then die cut the fence in white using the Fence die set. She added grass using the Land Borders die set.  Those cute critters are from the 

Boo Hoo stamp and die set. Just love those little speech bubbles!

Sue T. creates this dark, mysterious card using lots of black layers! She uses the Framework die to create her postage-stamp edge and scallop-edge layers.  She uses  Pick-a-Pumpkin die set to cut Jack-o-lantern faces multiple times on one of her black layers. She then heat embosses the sentiment in white using the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. She adds dimensional tape to adhere to an orange-glittery backdrop.  Spook-tacular!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 1, 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!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge!  

Diane Morales creates this playful Halloween card using the Pick-a-Pumpkin die set and creating an ivory and orange Jack-o-lantern.  She adds moss green leaves using the Flower Trio Die Set.  For her background, she selects a bold pattern paper with a brown layer that she die cut using the Sky Borders die set.  She selects a sentiment from the Fall Fringe stamp set and embosses it in white.  Delightful!

Sue T. creates a lovely card using the image from the Dainty Daisies stamp and die set.  The daisies look wonderful in ivory and orange. She pairs her flowers with a couple of pattern papers that coordinate  fabulously. She adds her banner with the sentiment stamped on it and lightly distresses the edges.  Again, lovely!

Becky Noelle's card is timed perfectly to kickoff the pumpkin spice latte season! She begins by using the Tree Rings stencil to create a textured background. She stamps the sentiment using the Pumpkin Latte stamp. She adds a layer of brown, plaid paper and wraps twine around it and ties with a bow.  She then adds the two coffee-laden gals from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set. She colors these gals wonderfully!

Bobbi Lemanski cuts several ivory rectangles and distresses them before adhering to the kraft card stock. She then cuts several leaves using the Beautiful Leaves die set. She then colors the leaves in the challenge colors. She also stamps the flowers from Dainty Daisies stamp and die set. After coloring them, she layers the flowers and leaves and adds them to her background She stamps the sentiment form the Thankful Thoughts stamp set and adds a splattering of sequins to create an amazing autumn card!

Debbie Owens creates a Halloween card in nontraditional colors. Using the Framework die set, she cuts her background from a vintage library-card pattern paper. She adds a green stripe and cuts the label from the Framework die set in orange. She stamps the sentiment from the Happy Howl-oween stamp on the label and adds a twine bow. For her main attraction, she colors the canine duo from the Happy Howl-oween stamp set in the challenge colors.  Super cute!

Create a project using the colors: Moss green, Orange, 

Chocolate Brown, and Ivory.

Several of our Design Team Members decided to play along - check out all the awesome PLAID cards they created! Read the description below each card to see who made it.

Samantha created a plaid background for her card using masks and inks! So cool! She created the city using images from the Newton Dreams of New York  and Newton Dreams of London stamp sets and the sleigh and sentiment are from the Newton's Curious Christmas stamp set. 

Larissa created a sweet little shaker card with a fun plaid border! She used images from the Bushels of Love stamp set (Simon Says Stamp Exclusive). Adorable!

Naki created a fun fall thank you card using plaid paper and letters! She added in pumpkins cut out with the Pick-a-Pumpkin Die Set. That stitched ribbon is so pretty too!

Yuki created a duo of adorable dog cards using dogs from our Canine Christmas stamp set with fun plaid backgrounds. The color combo on these cards of black, red, kraft and white is one of my favorites for Holiday cards!

Danielle added plaid paper in fall colors to create this fun card! The angles of paper in the background are so fun! Winston from the Winston's Birthday stamp set really pops off the card! 

I pulled out one of my favorite christmas images, Winston driving a car laden with holiday goodies from the Winston's Home for Christmas Stamp Set. I colored the image with watercolors and then added plaid paper along with some black chalkboard style washi tape. I finished it off with the sentiment "have a beary merry christmas" embossed in white on a black circle.

Naki created an awesome pumpkin card using burlap and lace with our Pick-a-Pumpkin stamp set and Pick-a-Pumpkin Die Set! Such a perfect look for Fall! 

This simplicity on this card by Samantha is so lovely! She used burlap and a lace doily along with the butterflies from the Beautiful Wings stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Wings die set. 

Kimberly created this awesome Autumn card using our new Beautiful Leaves stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Leaves die set! I love the burlap leaf that she cut out with the oak leaf die! 

Crafty Math-Chick used burlap as a fun background for the die cut deer shape from our Splendid Stags Die Set. Then she added the "Happy Birthday" from the new Raccoon Rascals stamp set. What a great masculine birthday card! 

Of course I had to play along too! I used the images from the Beautiful Leaves stamp set and embossed them on kraft colored paper in gold, white and brown. Then I trimmed them out with coordinating Beautiful Leaves die set. The tag was cut out using our Tags Times Two Die Set.  I added some burlap behind the tag and a strip of lace too!
