Diane's FAVE

Dawn H. creatively uses the challenge colors with a coffee theme! She stamps the coffee beans from the Love Cafe stamp set for a colorful background. She adds a layered banner and adds the coffee mugs from same set and die cuts using the coordinating die set. Caffeinated cuteness!

Sue's FAVE

Papierelle utilizes some fabulous masking to create this amazing one-layer card showcasing the playful kitten from the Captivated Kittens stamp set. Kitten cuteness!

Amy's FAVE

Dandi93's 3-D card is filled with loads of peeps, and we just love it!  Using the kitten from the Newton's Peeps stamp and coordinating die set, Dandi adds a clutch of peeps milling about. For even more cuteness, she adds a bunny from the retiring Hoppy Halloween stamp set!  

Claire's FAVE

Debbie's FAVE

Arlene R. creates a delightful scene inside a shaded circle, which reminds me of a dandelion bloom! She combines the little duck from the Newton's Rain Boots stamp set with the little, tulip-climbing mouse from the Garden Mice stamp set. The sentiment she uses will definitely bring a smile to your face!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Claire Lamb gives us the sweetest winter scene!  She showcases the cute critters from the Holiday Post stamp and die set with snowflakes falling in the background and piles of snow on the ground (Land Borders die set). She adds a dark pink banner using the Frames & Flags die set and places all her layers on a pink gingham paper!  Don't you love how she extends this stamp set  by changing the color scheme?  Fantastic job!

 Debbie Owens uses the sketch to create a window with a wintry scene.  She uses the Whispering Pines stamp set to create the tree silhouettes. She adds a valance by using the wavy die from the Sea Borders die set. She pulls the stag image from the Reindeer Roll Call stamp set to add to the mug from the Newton's Mug stamp set. The wood grain paper and buffalo plaid accents gives the card a warm, cabin-like feel. 

Diane Morales pulls out the Main Street Christmas stamp set and repurposes it for her Valentine's card!  She adds the ambulance from the Love Emergency stamp set and coordinating die set racing down the street. Her little scene is placed atop the red zig-zag paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. She adds her embossed sentiment, "Dispatching All My Love," which pulls everything together so nicely! What a way to stretch one's stamp sets!  Such a clever idea! 

Anyone else ready for some spring flowers? Well, Sue T.'s card will give you a taste of spring to brighten your day! Using the Blooming Botanicals stamp set colored in brilliant colors, Sue adds her white embossed sentiment (Floral Roundabout stamp set) on a black banner for a nice dramatic element. She uses the round-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set and sets everything on a white card base. Lovely!

Amy Tollner delights with her pastel background and shimmery snowflakes (Snowfall stencil). She adds a glitter banner die cut using the banner die from the Frames & Flags die set. Atop all the shimmery fun is the playful pup from the Snow Angel Puppy stamp and coordinating die set. The little birdie (Festive Fawns stamp and die set) adds a nice pop of red!  So fun!

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!

Create a project using the theme: Use your favorite NND stamp set!

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Crystal Komara uses alcohol inks to make her wintery, pastel background.  She sets her forest scene using the Forest Scene Builder die set to make her trees and the Land Borders die set for her snowy ground. Her woodland critters from the Festive Fawns stamp and die set look like they are filling their day with holiday cheer!

 Debbie Owens showcases one of her favorite NND images--fawns!  Creating a square card with a wood grain layer cut from the Frames Squared  die set.  She heat embosses the "Season's Greetings" in white on black card stock using a sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes stamp set.  She uses a fawn depicting each season pulling images from the Festive Fawns, the Woodland Spring, the Woodland Picnic, and the Harvest Tails stamp sets.  She adds red & white twine and sequins for festive touches!

Diane Morales takes us on a little trip to the United Kingdom!  In colors of the Union Jack, she creates a red, white, and blue background using the Plaid stencil and die cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She creates her circle frames using dies from the Circle Frames die set.  Her main attraction, of course, is Newton from the Newton Loves London stamp and die set with icons from England!  Do you have a favorite Newton Dreams of stamp set?  

Sue T.'s card is all about the pink!  Starting with a square based die cut using the Frames Squared die set with a snowy pink paper,  she then uses the Circle Frames die set to created her circular panels and adds large, shimmering flakes using the Snowfall stencil. She adds pink {sigh} pine trees using the Whispering Pines stamp and coordinating die set. That precious kitty in her pink accessories is from the Sweater Weather stamp and die set. She finishes by stamping the sentiment from the Sentiments of the Season stamp set on a speech bubble die cut from the Speech Bubbles die set.  Pretty in pink!  

  

 Becky Noelle puts a holiday spin using  her absolute favorite stencil,  Tropical Leaves stencil. (Don't you love how she added the trio of red dots for an added holiday touch?)  She continues by die cutting out a circle using the Circle Frames die set. Her holiday scene comes from the Sun Soaked Christmas stamp set. Super festive!  So what stencil is your favorite?
