Inky Paws Challenge #163 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--Create a Tag!

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

Can't decide on which stamp set to use on your tags? Be like Sue T.

and don't stop with just one stamp!  Use all your favorites! Sue uses the  Fancy Edges Tag die set for her tag base. She uses the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set to stamp all those pretty snowflakes. Then the fun begins: Top left tag uses the Winter Memories stamp and die set. Top right tag uses the Snow Much Cheer stamp and die set. Bottom left tag combines the Newton's Christmas Cuddles (retired) and die set and Whispering Pines stamp and die set.  Bottom right has images from the Snow Globe Scenes stamp and die set. 

Amy Tollner's holiday tags are filled with holiday cuteness!  Starting with a Kraft tag base die cut using the Fancy Edges Tag die set, she adds festive paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. Then comes she adds our favorite mischievous Newton playing with all the holiday trimmings!  These fun images are from the Newton's Holiday Mischief stamp and coordinating die set. As a cat lover, having these tags on my packages would be totally a-meow-zing!  

Claire Lamb creates a pair of bookmark tags that will inspire the receiver to jump right into a book just to use them!  On a fun polka-dotted background, Claire adds a color coordinating banner on which the sentiment has been stamped as well as the stack of books and critters from the All Booked Up stamp and coordinating die set. She uses the Bookmark die set which makes making book marks a cinch!  

Debbie Owens  makes shaker tags using the Ornament Shaker die set. With a distressed green background, she stamps a holiday sentiment onto each tag (Newton's Candy Cane and Ornamental Wishes stamp sets). She adds a fun peppermint mix for her shaking elements. Paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad is added to finish the darling ornamental tags!  Such a fun idea!

Diane Morales creates a pair of holiday bookmark tags featuring two of her favorite mini-stamp sets!  Using papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and the newly released Bookmark die set, she creates the tag base. She then adds the darling lamb from the Fleece Navidad and die set and the handsome toad from the Mistle Toad and coordinating die set. What a fun way to give a tag that can double for a bookmark!  Super fun and clever!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 17, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

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

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the theme:  Create a scene 

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

 Becky Noelle uses the mirror image technique to create this quartet of gulls from the Gull Friends stamp set. They look so cute atop the posts with the white cap waves.  The fun background was die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set.

Crystal Komara designs a slimline card filed with friends at the lake!  Using the Sunscape stencil, she creates yellow beams of sunshine rising behind her cabin from the  Winston's Lake House stamp and die set.  Looks like some friends are joining the fun and have set up camp with their retro camper and flamingos from the Cozy Campers stamp and die set. Everyone from the Winston's Lake House stamp and die set is down at the lake enjoying the dog days of summer.  Among the cattails is some lush, green grass die cut using the Land Borders die set.  Hope they have fun!

Debbie Owens creates a ghastly slimline Halloween card.  With a distressed background, she embosses the haunted house, tree, and graveyard from the Spooky Street stamp set and adds an assortment of animal skeletons from the Spooky Skeletons stamp set. She uses the Ghosts stencil and the hanging spider and bats from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set for some extra scary elements. The sentiment stamped on the full moon caps off her Halloween-themed card!

Diane Morales' card will definitely bring a smile to your face with it's Godzilla takes New York scene!  She uses the Circle Frames die set to create her card base, then adds her skyline scene using buildings from the Newton Dreams of New York stamp and die set and Snow Globe Scenes stamp and die set. 

For her Godzilla she uses the Tea Rex stamp and die set.  Don't you love that he is taking a little tea break?  To finish her card she stamps the sentiment from Happy Little Thoughts stamp set onto a banner from the Frames & Flags die set.  A super creative way to combine sets for a fun scene!

More summer fun, anyone? Sue T.'s card is packed full of beach fun!  Using the Sunscape stencil, Sue creates a sun-filled background for her beach-lovin' felines from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp and die set and Newton's Perfect Wave stamp and die set. She uses the Sky Borders die set on Kraft paper for her beach and the Sea Borders die set for layers of waves. A purr-fect way to spend a summer day!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, August 28, 2020 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!

Becky Noelle's card will have you singing "Christmas in the Caribbean" with this darling Christmas card!  First she creates her round card base and does a lot of masking!  She adds a bit of ocean in the foreground and adds the sandman from the Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set. She adds the palm trees with the stockings hanging between them again using the  Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set. What a fun way to celebrate Christmas!

Bobbi Lemanski creates the perfect pumpkin patch with her star-filled night sky !  She frames her sky with falling leaves from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set. She stamps a lot of pumpkins and hand draws in the grass around them. She adds her pumpkin-laden girl from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set.  She adds a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set and stamps the pumpkin spice sentiment. To finish, she adds the birthday sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set. Spectacular!

Debbie Owens keeps it very CAS with this sweet one-layer card. She stamps her background scene using elements from the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set. She then adds the little mouse from the Caroling Newton stamp set. She finishes by distressing light blue for her sky and adding snow to the ground and trees using Nuvo Crystal Drops.

We all know cats sleep away most of their lives, but have you ever wondered what they dream about? Well, Diane Morales shows us with her darling card with a Thanksgiving twist. She begins with her card base and pattern paper in colors of fall. She adds the kitty from Newton's Antics stamp set and colors the box in green for a pop of color to coordinate with the veggies on the plate. Using the Speech Bubbles die set, she adds two bubbles and places food images from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set. Now we know, cats dream of turkey and pie!

Sue T. creates this Halloween card in grays, creams, and teals, and it is just beautiful!  She repeatedly stamps the Happy Halloween sentiment from the Halloween Trio stamp set in dark gray. She lightly distresses over the words in a lighter gray to give her card a shadowy effect. Using the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set, she selects the kitty in a pumpkin patch image. She colors the pumpkins in creams and teals, and her little kitty in gray. She pops her image using dimensional tape.  She scatters some enamel dots to finish her card! Lovely!

Doesn't Becky Noelle's delightful card make you want to start caroling?  She creates the musical background by using the Music stencil.

What a fabulous combination of products!
