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

Amy Tollner uses the Newton's Gift stamp and coordinating die set on this beautiful CAS card.  Don't you love her soft coloring?  Wow!  She places her kitty image on a starry background using the Starfield stencil which she die cuts using the postage-edge frame die from the Framework die set. Her sentiment is stamped on a Kraft banner (Frames & Flags die set).  A bright and beautiful card!

Claire Lamb creates a darling coffee bar!  All those caffeinated images are from the Time for Coffee stamp and die set, and they look spectacular on the white counter against the pretty distressed walls.  Where do I place my order?  LOL

Debbie Owens creates a darling slime line card combining the Slimline Frames & Windows and the Slimline Frames & Portholes die sets to create her pretty layers.  In those little windows, she uses the teal present papers from the Birthday Party paper pad and some silver glitter paper.  She adds her celebrating critters from the Newton Celebrates stamp set. Using more silver glitter paper, she cuts the sentiment using the Holiday Greetings die set.  Cuteness!

Diane Morales uses the pretty cactus from the Christmas Cactus stamp and die set.  Doesn't it look wonderful in teal?  She also uses the Oval Frames die set to create her silver and white ovals.  Such a pretty CAS card!

Amy Tollner uses the challenge colors for this gorgeous snowy masterpiece!  She uses the  Frames and Flags die set for her white scalloped frame.  She also uses this die set to create the masking frame for her distressed teal backdrop. The shimmering, silver snowflakes come from the  Beautiful Blizzard stamp set.  Just love the delicateness of these snowflakes!

Claire Lamb showcases the blue jay from the Winter Birds stamp and die set.  Doesn't he look amazing against the beautiful distressed sky (Circle Frames die set)? On the branch, she has added amazing texture by combining the Flower Trio and the Pines & Holly die sets. Lovely!

Debbie Owens uses the Oval Frames die set to create this darling oval-shaped card.  Her teal snowflakes from the Snowflake Oval stamp set look wonderful with the shimmery silver behind them.  Enjoying the snowy scene is the sweet puppy from the Holiday Heights stamp set. A darling way to send magical wishes to a loved one!

Diane Morales' card showcases our very own Newton from the Santa Paws Newton stamp and die set sporting a handsome teal Santa suit!  She places him and his mice helpers on a square card base using the Frames Squared die set.  She pulls the teal paw print paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad which works purr-fectly with the challenge colors! She uses the Snow Globe Shaker die set for the added snowflakes and to stamp the sentiment on.  So cute!

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 your NND products with the theme-Holiday!

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

Diane Morales showcases these sweet puppies from the Christmas Puppies stamp set and die set on her duo of tags.  She pulls festive papers from the Christmas Time paper pad as well as the banner die from the Slimline Frames & Window die set. These sweet tags will definitely adorn packages quite nicely.

Amy Tollner creates a lovely living room scene just perfect for these tired fur balls.  She creates a subtle "wallpaper" using the Serene Stripes stencil die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set.  Asleep on her pretty blue chair are the fur balls from the Christmas Nap stamp and die set. Her glittery sentiment is also from the Christmas Nap die set.  

Claire Lamb uses light distressing of pink for her living room walls.  She, too, is showcasing the Christmas Nap stamp and die set.  Aren't her fur babies just adorable atop the blue, plush chair? Claire pulls the sentiment from the Winter Birds stamp set.  Definitely a warm, cozy scene!

Debbie Owens creates a window-like shaker card looking outside at the festive critters from the  Caroling Newton stamp set singing to their hearts' content.  She uses dies from the Frames & Flags die set to create the window frame. For her background, she uses the Evergreens stencil with blue deco foil.  Other products used include the speech bubble from the Speech Bubbles die set and the Land Borders die set for the snowy ground.  Doesn't the white glitter make for the perfect fluffy snow?  

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, December 2, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Use the theme--holiday.

Here's some inspiration!

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

 Diane Morales uses non-traditional colors for her oval-shaped holiday card.  To make her shape, she uses the Oval Frames die set which frames the snowflakes from the Snowflake Oval stamp set. She then adds a pink, yes pink!, Christmas tree with the two mischievous kittens from the Holiday Heights stamp and coordinating die set.  She adds a big teal banner with the sentiment using a die from the Slimline Frames & Window die set.  So cute!

Amy Tollner continues the non-traditional colors for her holiday card.  Her pastel background comes alive with the added snowflakes (Snowfall stencil) and the white wintry trees (Forest Scene Builder die set).  She uses the Land Borders die set for her ground. She, too, uses the Holiday Heights stamp and die set, but Amy chooses the puppy image from this set.  She places her sentiment on a banner (Frames & Flags die set) and uses the Framework die set for the postage-stamp edging.  Her added birds and squirrel (Forest Scene Builder die set) completes her amazing card!

Need more non-traditional holiday colors?  Then you are going to love Claire Lamb's bright rainbow of holiday trees!  Using the Christmas Tree Line stencil, Claire adds rows of trees in bright hues of the rainbow.  She then adds a trio of sentiments from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set. The white embossing on black really pop against the bright colors!  A sprinkling of sequins completes this festive card!

Debbie Owens breaks the team's non-traditional colors trend!  She goes with the more classic red & green colors using the Poinsettia Blooms stamp set.  (This set is retiring and is only $7.49!  Be sure to grab your set before they are gone!) She adds her poinsettias on a gold foiled musical score using the Music stencil.  She continues the gold with her embossed sentiment on black using the Joyful Tags stamp set. Simply gorgeous!

Use the theme-- with your NND products!
