Inky Paws Challenge #258 Week 2

 

Inky Paws Challenge #258


Week 2 Inspiration



 


This week I switched from a Halloween theme to a Thanksgiving one featuring one of my favorite Thanksgiving dishes--pumpkin pie! I pulled papers from the Autumn Basics and the Autumn paper packs. (I adore the pie paper!) I used Frames & Tags and the Essential Tags die sets to create the different layers. I opted to use the overly-full feline from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set for my circular element of the sketch. (This image makes me giggle and reminds me of my beloved Velcro!)

Inky Paws Challenge #257


Week 4 Inspiration


 Dusty Lavender, Teal, Pumpkin Orange, and Rust!





I used the challenge colors for a very bold Halloween card. I used the Card Layout 6 die for the layout. 
I then cut the orange batty paper and the ghost paper from the  Halloween Woofs paper pad. I added a rust-colored spider web using the Spiderwebs die set. For my sentiment, I used the Halloween Greetings die set.  These combination of colors make for a fun Halloween card!

Debbie's cozy card features Autumn Leaves, Cozy Home, and Never Enough Books by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #cardmakingideas, #nndpaper, #nndstamps, #autumn card, #fallcards
I love to create scenes, and the teal leaf paper looked like wallpaper to me. I added some gray scraps for the carpet and scored some white paper for the trim and "crown" molding at the top. Once I had the background finished, it was time to decorate the room. I pulled furniture, kitty, and pillow from the  Cozy Home die set and paired it with the books, bookshelf, and "framed" sentiment from the Never Enough Books stamp set. I think it turned out pretty well. (I wouldn't mind hanging out in this room while reading a good book!)

Inky Paws Challenge #257 Week

 

Inky Paws Challenge #257


Week 1 Inspiration


 Dusty Lavender, Teal, Pumpkin Orange, and Rust!




I am loving the new release by Newton's Nook Designs. For this card, I used the Torn Edges Frames die set. The Kraft card layer was embossed using a leaves folder which I lightly distressed in the challenge colors. For my center panel, I used a smaller die from this die set.  I filled the bottom portion with lots of leaves for the little fur babies to rake!  These little guys are from the Autumn Dogs and the Autumn Cats stamp sets. A fun card to celebrate the new season!

For my card, I used the  Jack-o-lantern stencil to create the backdrop. I then used the Coffee  Frame die with the hounds tooth paper from the Autumn paper pad.  I used the Thanks a Latte die for my sentiment and added a latte from the Autumn Coffees stamp set. To create my center panel I used one of the dies from the Basic Frames set. Tuck in a coffee gift card to make a wonderful thank you card!

I created this lovely latte card which includes a pocket for a gift card! I used papers from the Autumn and the Autumn Meows paper pads which work wonderfully together. I then stamed a coffee mug from the Autumn Coffees stamp set onto the crate from the Newton's Crate stamp set. A wonderful pumpkin-spice latte card if I don't say so myself!

For my card, I was inspired by the colors of the September 2026 Color Palette (Kendra's Card Challenge). I used the colors to distress the background using Oxide Inks. I then layered on the bats using the Flying Bats stencil. I cut this panel using the  Flags & Tags die to give the panel a "toothy" edging. I then did a bit of creative cutting by using the head with vampire teeth from the Count Newton stamp set and added it to the feline from the Batty Newton stamp set. I added the sentiment to finish up the card.
