It's been awhile since I've made Christmas cards, and I try every month to play with the sketch at Build Your Stash Holiday cards. With it being June 27, I thought I had better get going!  Here's a sweet penguin card to celebrate the upcoming holiday, which is only 6 months away!

I found so many challenges that inspired this card.  I decided to use the Inky Paws current sketch to showcase the Newton's Nook Designs Coffee Delights stamp set.  I used papers from the NND Black & White Basics and the Lovely Hearts paper pads. To make the banner, I used the Banner Trio dies from NND.  I colored the coffee mugs in shades of red, grays and blacks using Copic Markers.  I love how this turned out.  Here are the challenges that inspired this card:

Time Out Challenge #282

Besides the red and white, I was inspired to include patterns in my card.

Cupcake Inspiration Challenge #611

I love this color combo!  I had to play with them!

If You Give a Crafter a Cookie Challenge #201-Hearts Galore

I used heart papers in my design.

This is the Inky Paws Sketch I used to create the layout.  I think this layout works so well different pattern papers.  I'm on the IPC design team, so I hope you will be inspired to link up your NND creation!  Inky Paws Challenge

Inky Paws Challenge #165

 

  Time for a New Inky Paws Challenge!

Use the sketch to create your NND project!

Here's my inspiration!

I used the sketch to create a window with a wintry scene.  I used the Whispering Pines stamp set to create the tree silhouettes. I added a valance by using the wavy die from the Sea Borders die set. I pulled the stag image from the Reindeer Roll Call stamp set to add to the mug from the Newton's Mug stamp set. I chose a wood-grain paper and a buffalo plaid Washi tape for a nice, warm, cabin-like feel. 

You have TWO WEEKS to play along - Deadline to enter is Friday, January 28, 2022 at Midnight CST. 

The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday. 

Link up your card or project at Inky Paws Challenge.

Hugs,

Debbie

CIC 189--The Twinery

                    

Welcome to Cupcake Inspirations Weekly Challenge #189

This week we are sponsored by The Twinery!  I just love using their twine.  I know after a hard cold day of skiing, nothing is better than a hot cup of coffee or hot chocolate!  And who wants to hold onto a hot cup?  That's why you need a cute little cozy to keep your little fingers from burning.  For my cozy, I glued twine onto my stamped image from Sweet and Sassy Stamps.  I just love this little mouse!  I was inspired by this week's Mojo Monday's sketch challenge!  Well, thanks for stopping by and I encourage you to join the fun at Cupcake Inspiration!  The Twinery is this week's sponsor, and you might be a winner of some new twine or be picked for the Top 5!  Can't wait to see what you create!      Indy

CIC 187--Thankful!

 

I am so excited to announce that I was chosen to be a sweetie on the Cupcake Inspiration's design team.  This week the team got to work with digital images from Freshly Brewed Designs.  I so enjoyed getting to shade this elegant pumpkin.  

 Please join us over at Cupcake Inspiration and join the fun!

I decided to use a sentiment from K. Andrew's Designs because of that beautiful font.  Unfortunately, my stamping was a bit crooked.  Ugh!    I used the fun November sketch from i {heart} stamps.  I am entering this in the Ribbon Carousel's Fall Challenge.
