With school starting tomorrow, I was inspired to make a school-themed card. I pulled out all the feline images with books. I stamped, fussy cut, and colored them with Copic Markers. These scholarly felines are from the Newton's Book Club, the All Booked Up, and the Never Enough Books stamp sets. I used the Card Layout 7 die with papers from the Black & White Basics paper pack. I cut down a banner  (Frames & Flags die set) and stamped the sentiment. 

Now it's your turn to use the sketch for a chance to win a $20 store credit!

Recently, a neighbor lost her beloved Corgi, Zha-Zha.  I already miss seeing Zha-Zha and my neighbor walking by.  I made this card to send my sympathy. I know how hard it is to lose a beloved fur baby. For this card, I used the Love & Woofs paper pad, Essentials Tags die set, Frames & Flags die set, and Furr-ever Friends stamp set. 

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

For my card, I was inspired to create another Christmas card using this great sketch.  

As I looked through all my NND products, I spied this stocking paper from the Christmas Time paper pad. I also glanced over and saw the little stocking on the newly released Holiday Postage Sampler stamp set. I wanted to use the sketch with these two products.  I decided to make a vellum middle panel using the Framework die set because I really wanted to highlight the stockings.  I stamped the sentiment on the ticket stub using the Frames & Flags die set. The hardest part was finding just the right image to balance the card.  I had a bunch of Christmas images already cut, so I started trying different images.  I decided on Santa Newton checking his list because it was longer and filled the card.  This image is from the Santa Paws Newton stamp set. I added a little present just for fun!

Thanks for stopping by!  I eagerly await how you are inspired to use the November sketch!

Hugs, 

Debbie

This sketch lends itself to using coordinating papers. For my card, I pulled papers from the Coffee House Stories paper pad. I love the pale teals and browns in the selected papers!  I then opted for the glass coffeemaker from the Time for Coffee stamp set.  I love how it pulled the papers together.  Then I cut a stitched oval (Oval Frames dies set), and then stamped the sentiment. Nothing fancy or hard, but a darling caffeinated card using coordinating papers and stamps!

Now it's your turn to use the challenge colors with your NND products!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Inky Paws Challenge #196 Reminder

  

 There's still time to get inky!

Use your NND products with the theme--Birthday!

I created a 4 1/4"x 5 1/2" birthday card with a rustic feel that works nicely for a masculine birthday!

I set the card on a dark green card base. I distressed a bit of Distress Oxide Peeled Paint on white card stock. Then I stamped the gnome image on his big mushroom from the Garden Gnomes stamp set. I colored him using Copic markers.  I then stamped and cut out some mushrooms from the Fabulous Fungus stamp set.  I kept the color palette in darker, rustic hues mimicking the shadiness of a forest.  I adhered the little mushrooms. Then used dimension tape on the gnome to pop the image a bit.  Instead of centering this layer on the card base, I opted to align the left hand and bottom sides. This left a larger border on the top and right.  To balance the card, I added a bit of jute on the left.  

Now it's your turn to make some birthday cards with your NND products!

I can't wait to see what you create!

Hugs, Debbie
