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! 

Sue's tag collection showcases Fancy Edges Tags, Snowfall Roundabout, Winter Memories, Whispering Pines, Newton's Christmas Cuddles, Snow Globe Scenes, and Snow Much Cheer by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #holidaycards, #holidaytags, #cardmaking
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's holiday tags feature Newton's Holiday Mischief, Bookmark, and Meowy Christmas by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #catcards, #holidaycards, #cardmaking
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 designs a pair of bookmarks featuring All Booked Up and Bookmark by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #bookmark, #catcards, #puppycards
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's duo of bookmarks features Mistle Toad, Fleece Navidad, Meowy Christmas, and Bookmark by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #christmascards, #bookmarks, #holidaycards
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!
