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!

She stamps the sentiment on a white banner and adds pink gems. A fabulous idea to surround oneself with beloved friends!

Diane Morales shows us a trio of friends enjoying snacks and a good movie!  These feline cuties are from the Newton's Movie Night stamp and die set. Diane uses the Popcorn stencil to add a lot of buttery treats in the background.  She stamps the sentiment and scatters a few more popped kernels!  Anyone else ready to join them for a good show?  

Sue T.'s friends are enjoying the great outdoors!  With the fluffy clouds made using the Clouds stencil and the tall fir trees using the Forest Scene Build die set, Winston and his friend from the Winston's Lake House stamp and die set are enjoying a day canoeing on a peaceful lake made using the Hills & Grass stencil.  She stamps the sentiment on a speech bubble die cut using the Speech Bubbles die set. 

 Sue uses the Frames Squared die set for her card.  An amazing way for friends to spend the day!

Amy Tollner makes a heart-shaped card using the Heart Frames die set. On her scallop-edged heart, she adds pastel clouds and tall green grass using the Clouds and the Hills & Grass stencils respectively. She then adds her playful puppies from the Puppy Pals stamp and die set. She pulls the little flower hair accessory from the Newton's Valentine stamp and die set, and the butterflies are from the Newton's Birdbath stamp and die set.

Using the Sky Borders  die set, she makes a cloudy yellow sky with green hills in the background using the Land Borders die set. She adds two tall fir trees and a black crow die cut using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  A little fluffy cloud was added using the Sky Scene Builders die set.  For main finale, she adds the darling duo from the Puppy Pals stamp set.

On her scallop-edged frame die cut using the Frames & Flags die set, she has added a rainbow of pastel flowers using the Petite Flowers stencil.  She adds the stitched heart with the adorable sentiment using a die from the Heart Frames die set. Her duo of lightly colored kittens from the Smitten Kittens stamp and die set look adorable. She adds a few little pastel hearts for good measure!  Sweetness!

A good glass of wine paired with a good friend is a perfect way to spend one's time, and Sue T.'s card showcases this idea wonderfully. She stamps a trio of wine glasses from the Wine a Little stamp and die set and pops them up with dimensional tape on her embossed card base.  She adds a little strip of Washi tape before adding the sentiment.  Nicely done, Sue!
