Inky Paws Challenge #162 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 this fabulous Sketch!

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

Diane Morales reminds us the importance of reflecting on the good things in life while enjoying a cup of coffee. Using the coffee bean paper from the newly released Coffee House Stories paper pad, she creates her trio of rectangles. She then adds a coffee craft and orange mug from the newly released Time for Coffee stamp and die set. She frames them using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. Now sit back and enjoy.

Sue T.'s holiday floral display looks beautiful atop the papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. These beautiful flowers are from the Poinsettia Blooms stamp and die set. A beautiful and elegant way to send Season's Greetings!

Amy Tollner creates a peaceful, wintry scene using the Serene Silhouettes stamp and die set. Her twilight is filled with a flurry of snowflakes created using the Petite Snow stencil. Her sparkly, silver rectangles give her card a a shimmery touch. 

Claire Lamb showcases the reindeer image from the Reindeer Roll Call stamp by stamping a reindeer border around the sentiment pulled from the Holiday Home stamp set. Her brown snowflakes in the background look fabulous with the red and Kraft palette. A country feel with a touch of elegance!

 Debbie Owens showcases the newly released Newton from the Snow Angel Newton stamp set. Looks like Newton is have snow much fun as he makes snow angels on the snowflake embossed background and shimmering silver panels.  Deb pulls the sentiment from the Moose Mountain stamp set and embosses it on vellum with a shiny frame die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. Enjoy, Newton!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 3, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Claire Lamb creates a wheel card that has the weather changing in a blink of an eye!  Her trio of friends are all decked out in their rain slickers from the Newton's Rainy Day Trio stamp and die set are all ready for a fun day in any weather! This is such a clever card that is sure to delight the recipient of this delightful card!

Debbie Owens makes a fun puppy card! She creates a wood grain frame using the Hardwood stencil. Then she uses the Framework die set to create a frame. 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. A super  fun friendship card!

Diane Morales designs the sweetest friendship card! 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!

Amy T. uses the Sunscape stencil to create a sunset in pinks and purples for her napping friends from the Porch Swing Frinds stamp and coordinating die set. She adds a few bird silhouettes in the background using the birds from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. She places this scene on a wood grain background using the Hardwood stencil. She stamps the sentiment on a banner using the Frames & Flags die set. Using the flower and leaf dies from the Slimline Frames & Porthole die set, she adds a pink and purple flower.  Such a wonderful combination of NND products!
