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!

Thank you for playing and making 2021 brighter!

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!

The top right tag's sentiment was created using the Christmas Roundabout stamp set and the Holiday Greetings die set.

She adds a little shimmery circle (die cut using the Circle Frames die set) behind the kittens to add the tags' strings!  What a clever way to use your favorite NND image as a tag!  Thanks for the great idea, Diane!
