Here's some inspiration.
It's hard to believe that we are in our final days of the 2025 Inky Paws Challenge year! It's been so fun providing inspiration each month showcasing ways to use your Newton's Nook Designs projects. For our final 2025 challenge, the IPC team has created some amazing holiday cards as well as several snow-filled ones! Let's check them out:
Kelly Santi snowy card is so cute with the spinner element. She showcases two snowy papers from the Snow Flurries paper pad and uses the Basic Frames die set to create her stitched layers. She then uses the darling kitty from the Snow Angel Newton stamp and coordinating die set and adds a spinner to make the kitty look like he's making snow angels! Such a fun idea!
Amy Tollner is using a holiday classic stamp set, Santa Paws Newton stamp and coordinating die set, for her fun card. She creates her card design using the A2 Card Layout 2 die with the green paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. She then uses the holly paper from the Christmas Party paper pad to add lots of holiday ambience! Love the little touches of blue to accent this darling card!
Debbie Owens' card is filled with sparkle and shine! She pulls the lavender glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and adds a layer using the snowy paper from the Snow Flurries paper pad. She then uses the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She creates a tag using the Bookmark die set on which she adds the silver snowflakes from the Falling Snow Toner Card Front and Snowfall die set. The sentiment is from the Let It Snow die. Her final touch is the addition of the snow globe from the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp set. Just love the snow globe on a snowy card!
Don't forget you have until December 19, 2025 to add some glitter and shine to your holiday projects!
