Our Inky Paws Challenge Inspiration team has chosen a few of their favorite challenge entries from this challenge! If you see your card below, contact us if you'd like to get a "favorite" badge for your blog!

Sue's FAVE

Bad Kitty doesn't stop at one tag. She makes a plethora of tags that are individually unique. To hold all her tags, she even makes a holder for them. Here are the stamp sets she uses starting from top left: Christmas Puppies , A Kitten Christmas, Dear Santa, and Destination Christmas. For the middle Row, she uses A Kitten Christmas, Cup of Cocoa, Sending Hugs with a hat from Newton's Holiday Mischief, and Cup of Cocoa. The bottom row includes sets from Newton's Holiday Mischief, Ornamental Newton (retired), Dear Santa, and Purr-fect Present!  

Amy's FAVE

Melissa creates a darling tag featuring a darling puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp set and coordinating die set.  She places this sweet puppy on a snowy pattern paper with a textured blue tag base.  Just so cute!

Claire's FAVE

Donna Perisic keeps her scene very CAS allowing her sweetly colored fawn to take center stage.  This fawn is from the Deer Friend stamp and coordinating die set. The crisp blue sky with the scattered snow flurries is bright and fresh, and Donna's red hearts add a nice contrast. The sentiment is perfect for this scene. 

Debbie's FAVE

Meghan Kennihan has a talent for finding just the perfect paper to go with her NND images. For her tag, she selects the image from the Dairy Christmas stamp and die set and colors all the critters wonderfully. She then adds the red, white, green zigzag paper that goes so well with the cow's holiday blanket. Just darling!  

Diane's FAVE

Becky makes a duo of long tags filled with cuteness. For her first tag, she uses the Confetti stencil for her background. Then she adds the champagne lovin' kitty from the Newton's New Year stamp and coordinating die set. Her second tag showcases the Music stencil paired with the kitty from the Purr-fect Present stamp and coordinating die set. Just so cute!

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!

Ready for some holiday cocktails?  Diane Morales' card will definitely get you ready for some holiday merriment!  Her background created using the  Confetti stencil gives her card a fun, party feel. She continues by adding banners in coordinating colors using the Frames & Flags die set. No party is complete without festive drinks? So she uses the Christmas Cocktails stamp and coordinating die set to add a trio of drinks. Merry cocktail to everyone!

Sue T. creates a wintry wonderland to bring good wishes to your holiday season!  She uses the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set to create her custom pattern paper. She adds it to the postage-edge base layer die cut using the Framework die set. Her snowy couple from the Snow Much Cheer stamp and coordinating  die set look amazing in the soft pastel colors!  What a fabulous way to wish someone joy, love, and laughter!  

Need another card to get you into the holiday spirit?  Amy Tollner's bright card might inspire you to reach into your liquor cabinet to duplicate her delicious-looking cocktails!  Using a plaid paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad, she adds a trio of cocktails from the Christmas Cocktails stamp and coordinating die set. She die cuts the shimmery red bow from the Pines & Holly die set. Don't you just love the yellow and red together?  Cheers to you!

Using tree branches to mimic the sketch, Claire Lamb features a duo of beautiful birds from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating  die set. She uses the Bubbly stencil to add a subtle design to her wintry skyline with some snowflakes gently falling.  She selects the "Joyful Tidings" sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set to send her holiday message!  Just so beautiful!

Set amidst soft pastel papers, Debbie Owens showcases the farm critters from the Dairy Christmas stamp set. She uses the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set for her base layer, then mixes and matches papers for a sweet holiday card! Happy holidays, indeed!
