Inky Paws Challenge #186 Favorites

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!

Debbie's FAVE

KT Fit Kitty's hot chocolate card is filled with cuteness!  She uses the Mugs stencil to create her background. She adds a tan vellum layer and adds a pretty white doily.  Combining the gingerbread man (Ginger Snap stamp and die set-retired) and a mug of hot chocolate from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set makes for a scrumpdillyicious card!

Diane's FAVE

Lynn H. is back as Diane's favorite! Making the sketch with a pocket for a tag was a fabulous idea!  She features Winston (Winston's Home for Christmas retired stamp set) in his dashing red & white sweater.  The red & white papers are so festive as is the snowflake!  

Amy's FAVE

Billie A.'s card is filled with feline fun!  She uses papers from  A Cat's Life paper pad for her layers.  Then she adds her darling gray kitten from the Newton's Antics stamp and die set.  Her added toys around the box, especially the paper pieced mouse, are wonderful additions to her card!

Claire's FAVE

Papierelle's super CAS card uses the sketch in the most creative way!  Using the snowboarding moose from the Moose Mountain stamp set, she has him enjoying some slopes using the angles of the sketch!  Seriously creative!  

Thank you for playing!

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

Debbie Owens creates a comfy Christmas scene inside a barn featuring a trio of barnyard critters from the Dairy Christmas stamp set. She adds a bale of hay to feast on (Moo stamp set) as well as some wall art featuring the barn from the same set.  The sentiment comes from the Christmas Campers stamp set. To make the stitched wall art, Deb uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set. Such a darling country Christmas card!

Diane Morales's festive square card was made using the Frames Squared die set. She adds red and green papers from the Christmas Time paper pad. She adds the sentiment to a scallop-edged circle using the Circle Frames die set. Her blue truck from the Holiday Haul stamp and die set is filled with holiday goodies.  She adds a few snowflakes to complete her holiday scene!  

Amy Tollner's card is bright and super playful with the mischievous puppy from the Christmas Puppies stamp and die set.  She adds lots of silvery paw prints using the Pawprints stencil and a silver embossed sentiment.  Also used was the scallop-edged circle from the Circle Frames die set.  This will brighten any dog-lover's holiday season!

Claire Lamb's vintage truck (Holiday Haul stamp and die set) is filled to capacity with lots of presents and holiday decorations!  Love how she creates a wintry night scene filled with snow showers as the truck travels to a loved-one's home to celebrate the holiday season!

Did anyone else start humming along with Debbie Owens' card? Her festive card featuring the handsome nutcracker from the Nutcrackers stamp set is trimmed with gold accents starting with the golden sheet music (Music stencil) and finished with gold cording behind the circular sentiment (Frames Squared die set). A wonderful way to celebrate the upcoming season!

Diane Morales and Claire are showcasing the Wreath Pups stamp and die set, and both cards are just so cute!  Diane is featuring an argyle paper from the Canine Christmas paper pad on the bottom portion of her card. At the top, she adds a row of holly from Newton's Gift stamp and die. Such a playful and festive card, especially with the glittery border!

Amy Tollner creates this playful card that is just too cute!  She pulls the wrapped gifts paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad and pairs it with the Veloci Wrapper from the Prehistoric Christmas stamp and die set. Eek!  How fun!  She uses the Circle Frames die set to create the scallop circle for her gift-wrapping dino!

Like Diane, Claire Lamb is showcasing the Wreath Pups stamp and die set. She, too, pulls an argyle paper, but this fun paper from the Meowy Christmas paper pad is used on her top portion leaving the bottom for her sentiment. A couple of enameled dots adds a bit of texture to this seriously cute card!

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 colors--

Coral, Wine Red, Denim Blue, and Caramel Brown.

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

Claire Lamb creates this spectacular card using only dies!  Wow!  She creates a stitched card base using the Frames & Flags die set and lightly adds some splatters for texture.  She then creates a beautiful floral arrangement by layering flower die cuts from the Flower Trio die set for her poinsettia. She adds foliage using the Pines & Holly die set.  She uses the word dies from the Christmas Nap die set in glittery gold paper for her sentiment.  Spectacularly done!

Debbie Owens' plaid background (Plaid Stencil) gives her card a warm, autumn feel.  She adds a blue vintage truck (Harvest Haul stamp set) filled with a bushel of dark red apples and a pile of coral-colored pumpkins. To complete her card, she uses the Circle Frames die set for the Kraft circle, Frames & Flags die set for the card base, and a sentiment pulled from the Fall Fringe stamp set.  A beautiful card with a warm, flannel feel!

Diane Morales cuts strips of paper in the challenge colors for a fabulous striped background.  Look closely and you'll see subtle snowflakes floating down.  She then adds the Snowflake Oval stamp set atop a scalloped frame (Oval Frames die set).  The darling snowman and puppy image comes from the newly released Holiday Heights stamp and coordinating die set. Don't you love how the snowman's scarf mimics the stripes of the background?  A red wine banner with the embossed sentiment completes this playful card!

Amy Tollner adds a pair of Dachshund puppies from the Holiday Hounds stamp and coordinating die set on her long slimline card featuring dies from the Slimline Frames and Portholes die set.  Using the Slimline Masking Circles and Squares stencil set, Amy distresses a light blue sky complete with tiny snowflakes using the Petite Snow stencil.  Such a sweet, serene scene!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, November 4, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Claire Lamb uses the challenge colors to create this beautiful winter scene!  She creates lots of snow  using the Land Borders die set. Don't you love the oval cut out (Oval Frames die set) and how Claire pop ups the card?  Walking through this beautiful landscape, are two children from the Holiday Home Stamps and Coordinating die set heading home with their gorgeous tree.  Claire stamps the sentiment (Heartfelt Holidays stamp set) on a banner cut using the Banner Trio die set. 

Debbie Owens uses the challenge colors for this playful living room scene! Look at those playful kitties climbing the coral-colored tree!  These little guys are from the newly released Holiday Heights stamp set. She pairs them up with another mischievous kitten from the Purr-fect Present stamp set peeking out from a wrapped box.  To complete her living room scene, Deb adds a stocking from the Holiday Stockings stamp and Stylish Stockings die set. Her sentiment is hung like a picture frame!  So fun!

Diane Morales showcases the newly released Christmas Tree Line stencil.  Look how beautiful those trees are in the challenge colors! {sigh}  She creates her card using the A7 Frames & Banner die set. She adds the sentiment from the Snowflake Oval sentiment on a circle cut using the Circle Frames die set.  Gorgeous!

Amy Tollner uses the challenge colors on this sweet card featuring a fawn from the Festive Fawns stamp and die set.  Those packages might be too pretty to open!  She sets her fawn on a vellum circle cut using the Circle Frames die set.  For her background, Amy uses the Reindeer stencil cut using the scallop-edged frame from the Frames & Flags die set. Cute!
