Inky Paws Challenge #232 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's a refresher.

Use the Cozy Fall Theme with your NND products.

The IPC team has some amazing autumn cards that are filled with fall coziness.

Danni Bindel uses papers from the Autumn paper pad for a harvest twist. She creates her many layers by combining dies from the Basic Frames and the Frames & Flags die sets. She showcases the image from the Signs of Fall stamp and coordinating die set with her wonderfully coloring skills. Don't you just love all those pumpkins and gourds?

Debbie Owens also uses the Autumn paper pad with a focus on autumn leaves! She pairs her papers with critters playing in the leaves. These furry friends are from the Fall Harvest and the Autumn Newton stamp sets. She makes her card into a circular shape card using the Circle Frames die set. Time to go out and play in the leaves!

Amy Tollner shows us the coziness inside of one's home on a cool autumn day. To create her background she uses the Quatrefoil stencil with a striped paper from the Natural Basics paper pad die cut using the zig-zag frame from the Frames & Tags die set. All that fabulous furniture and accessories are from the Cozy Home stamp and coordinating die set. Such a cozy setting for a little nap!

Claire Lamb showcases all the hard work of our beloved farmers. With a twilight background using the Land Borders die set, the little tractor from the Tractor die set is hard at work in the pumpkin patch. She uses a sentiment from the Fall Friends stamp set with the pumpkin die from the coordinating die set . The whole card is a behind-the-scene look of the bounty of autumn!

Crystal Minkler's card has such richly colored leaves made using the Falling Leaves stencil. She uses the Framework die set to create the postage edging as well as the center panel. Enjoying the season is our very own Newton from the Newton's Reading List stamp and coordinating die set who is also enjoying a nice mug of hot chocolate from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and coordinating die set. The sentiment from the newly released Autumn Reads stamp set ties everything together purr-fectly!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along! Remember, you have until this Friday, September 27, 2024 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here.
