Inky Paws Challenge #247 Week 2

 

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 2 Inspiration

The holidays are upon us, and this month we are asking for some Holiday Sparkle & Shine on your Newton's Nook Projects for winter, Christmas, and even New Year!

You have until Friday, December 19, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  

I can't seem to get enough of these little snow people from the Snowman Postage Sampler stamp set. This week, I've created a playful wintery scene. I used the Basic Frames die set to create the window from the pink cardstock. I then added the blue glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and pulled white glitter paper from my stash which I die cut using the Land Borders die set. I die cut some snow flakes using the Snowfall die set. I modified the tag created using the Essential Tags die set for my sentiment. I placed all my snow people using some 3D foam tape.  I love the bright blue against the pink!  

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

Anything Goes

Mom, Thank Mew!

I am so excited to share this card!  Being a fur baby mommy, I love getting presents from my fur babies which inspired me to create this Mom's Day card. This is an A7 sized card sporting dies from Newton's Nook Designs--A7 Frames & Banners. I then used NND's Welcome New Cat stamp set.  I love this new stamp set!  These kittens with all their toys just makes me smile! I then used NND's Essential Alphabet die set to cut out the letters which had little paw prints inked on (Petite Paw Print stencil).  I then heat embossed the sentiments using white embossing powder.  I loved how I repurposed this stamp set for a mother's day card!  I can't wait for my cats to send it to me!  LOL

Inky Paws Challenge #106 Reminder

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

Here'a a refresher.
Theme Challenge

Create a project using the theme-- Halloween!

Today I have  more inspiration for this Challenge!

I wanted to play with the Ghosts Stencil again.  For this card, I used Peacock Feathers, Wilted Violet, and Black Soot distressed oxide inks to create the eerie background. I then created a black tag using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. I decided to use a sentiment from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set and heat embossed it in white.  I stamped and fussy cut the kitty image from the Witchy Newton stamp set and colored with gray, teals, and purples.  I added teal twine, purple twine, and a black bow to the tag. I then added some glittery teal dots for a bit of bling!

Now it's your turn to link up your NND Halloween card!

Happy Crafting!

Create a project using the theme-- HALLOWEEN.

Here's my inspiration!

This week I pulled out the newly released Witchy Newton stamp set. I am loving this new Halloween image!  I colored using Spectrum Noir markers in a black, purple, and lime green.  I love purple and lime green together!  I colored the kitty in shades of orange and browns.  For my center panel, I used distress inks in the same purple, lime green color scheme using the Bokeh Stencil set.  I then added white ghosts using the Ghosts Stencil.  I love how the green and purples can subtly be seen through the ghosts.  I cut the panel using the Frames & Flags die set.  I added a lime green ribbon.  For my sentiment, I heat embossed the sentiment in white on a black banner and adhered a bit of purple/white twine.  Hope my card will inspire you to pull out your Newton's Nook Designs stamps and link up your Halloween card.

Purrfect Day

This card features a couple Paper Smooches stamps. I started by using Design Motifs. I used Distress Inks. I inked the rhombus shape and stamped three times to achieve the ombre effect.  I continued stamping to create the background. I then stamped the cat and mouse (Charmed Lives) image twice to make them really black.  I added fun foam to the back to create some dimension. To finish things off I stamped the sentiment and added a bit of bling. This became a Father's Day's card from my kitties to my hubby!  As always, thanks for dropping by! ~Debbie

Cupcake Inspirations #272-A Day for Daisies

This week I am so excited to share my card.  I love A Day for Daisies images, especially any image with a kitty on it (big surprise!).  This week's image is entitled Tiger, and it reminds me of myself when I was a little girl.  I had a gray tabby named Spooky, and I would have rather married him when I was in third grade than any icky boy in my class!  He was such a sweet heart.  We had plenty of good times together, including all those days when I dressed him up in doll clothes! Okay, maybe it wasn't so fun for him, but he tolerated it without a hiss or growl.  Fortunately, I outgrew my dislike of boys, but my love of cats has never wavered.   My hubby and I now have a gray Maine Coon, Catapult, who is showered with love and kisses (but no doll clothes)!

I just had to make sure Spooky was part of the Easter picture!

So onto my card and this week's challenge!  Isn't this image remarkable?  If cats aren't your favorite, I promise you'll find something you will love.  There are thousands of amazing images!  This week's challenge at Cupcake Inspirations is all about colors--mint, white, and gold!  By participating, you will have a chance to win a $12 gift certificate at A Day for Daisies!  Be sure to link up at Cupcake Inspirations!  Hugs, Debbie
