Inky Paws Challenge #163 Reminder

 

Don't delay! Be sure to get your tags done for your chance to win a store credit to Newton's Nook Designs!




Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the Theme--Create a Tag!


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


I wanted to use these amazing peppermint shaker elements that I got last year in my Christmas stocking!  And what better way than adding them to a shaker tag!  Can't you just these dangling from a gift!  They are super fun and simple to make. First, distress your tag base with Mixed Lawn Distress Oxide ink (or paper if you it on hand). Then die cut with the outline ornament die from the Ornament Shaker die set. While you have this die out, be sure to die cut a couple more out of a clear acetate plastic. Then stamp your holiday sentiment on each green base (Newton's Candy Cane and Ornamental Wishes stamp sets). Be sure to place the wide-border die over your base to line up the sentiment. I used my Misti tool to stamp more than once.  Use a bit of powder to dust everything to remove the static electricity.  Now it's time to die cut your thick foam with the wide-border die.  Adhere to your card base.  Sprinkle in your peppermint and jewel mixture. Then adhere the clear acetate over everything.  Now die cut your pattern paper with the thick-border die and adhere.  I used the fun papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. I then pulled some silver, glitter paper scraps for the ornament caps. I just love how these turned out.  

Now it's your turn to link up your tags. Good luck on your chance at winning the $20 NND store credit!
Hugs, 
Debbie

Inky Paws Challenge #161 Reminder & Coffee Lovers Blog Hop #4-7

     

Have you played yet?


Create a project using the colors--

Red, Dark Green, Light Green, and Brown




Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! I am adding a touch of coffee to each card, so I can play with the Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! Did you know that Newton's Nook Designs is one of the amazing Super Sponsors?  


A Christmas Espresso by Debbie features Circle frames, Pumpkin Latte, Meowy Christmas, Love Cafe', A Kitten Christmas, and Naughty or Mice by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #christmascards, #micecards, #coffeecards





I couldn't decide which mouse I liked the best, so I decided to make a set of four coffee-themed Christmas cards just perfect for adding a gift card to a local coffee shop!  I used the Circle Frames die set to make the card bases. The sweet mice are from the Naughty or Mice stamp set. I took the liberty to add a latte cup (Pumpkin Latte stamp set) to the first card by cutting off one of the presents. For the last card, I did some fussy cutting to add the latte cup between the mouse's hands!  The other two mice have a coffee cup from the Newton Loves Coffee next to them because wrapping and decorating requires lots of caffeine!  I used different papers from the Meowy Christmas paper pad. I love the bright colors on this paper set.  For the sentiment, I pulled the words "A Christmas" from the Kitten Christmas stamp set.  Then I used the word "espresso" from the  Love Cafe stamp set. I know that cutting words apart can be intimidating, but it allows for unique sentiments and doesn't hurt the stamps!  

You have until  Friday, November 19, 2021 to enter.
