Week 3: Inky Paws Challenge #247

 Hi friends!

It's the last week and the home stretch of 

the final Inky Paws Challenge #247

from Newton's Nook Designs!

Here's my card for this week:

This week I made a spinner card - so easy to create!

I colored Snow Angel Newton stamp and die cut that out.

I created a background card base using Snow Flurries paper pad

and stamped a sentiment from the set.

To create the spin, I added a brad to the underneath of the card top

(on top of the cardtock but under the dsp!)

and glued that in place, securly adding the stamped image to the top.

It will spin when the recipient receives it and twirls it around,

like this!

SPINNER CARD <~~

3M: You're a Mean One .........

.... Mr. Grinch!

The three words that best describe you are as follows
And I quote
"Stink, stank, stunk!"

Hopefully this Grinch isn't so bad :)

Hi friends!

It's the December round of 3 Musketeers 

and wow, it's been 11 years!

The 3M is a trio of cardmakers (Jeanette, Barb & I)

and we trade off months of sending a mystery image to create with.

You can see it here moving on my YouTube short -

and that's our newest rescue, as of now, unnamed so we call him kitty :)

This month is Jeanette and she sent us this adorable

Grinch from Crackerbox Stamps.

I made a quick shaker card using sequins for snow ~

easy peasy!  

I'll definitely have to send this one to my granddaughter :)

You can see the talented duo of the group and

 see what they made with The Grinch!

Inky Paws Challenge #247

 Hi friends!

I can't believe we are in December!

2025 has been a whirlwind, magical year

but honestly, I'm blinking and we are in a new month.

And .....

we have a new challenge at Inky Paws Challenge blog 

with Newton's Nook Designs.

Here is the inspiration photo to be used through-out

the month and duration of the challenge:

You have from Monday, December 1, 2025 to 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!  The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday.  Make sure you check the challenge rules page before you link up your project. 

And my card!

 I used the Snow Flurries paper pad makes for a gorgeous backdrop for the snowman from the Snowman Greetings 

stamp and coordinating die set. 

 I also used the Forest Scene Builder die set 

to add a trio of trees in the background.

My inspiration was the purples and snowflakes!

Snow Flurries!

 Hi friends!

It's SO HOT here in Florida!

I'd be glad to trade anyone for my beach side ocean waves 

sunshine view for your snow and winter!

Lucky for me, 

I get to play with paper snow!

I'm sharing a white rainbow card for an Instagram hop

with a theme of rainbows.

The premise is to create a mostly 75% white card 

with a splash of 25% or less rainbow!

I used the cute polar bear from Photoplay Paper stamps & dies

as well as a blended ink background using distress oxide inks.

I was going for an Aurora Borealis look

and added a splash of white ink snow splatter.

The sentiment is from Concord and 9th but matched perfectly!

I want to wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving in the US!

Thanks for stopping by!

Santa!

 

Hi friends!

It must be Santa!

I just adore this clear stamp set from Whimsy Stamps!

The sweet look on Santa's face with his bag of toys

is just dreamy <3

It's hard to believe 

the. holidays. are. already. here!

But I do know that the man from the North Pole 

will be here in 35 days!!!!

It's been a whirlwind here for our family and

honestly .......

I don't even know what day of the week it is most of the time!

Just keep it movin', that's my motto!

For this card, I used Santa at the door clear stamps

and colored it with my prismacolor markers.

I also added a die cut Drippy Frame Die for the falling snow.

This is a great staple die to have in your collection ~

it's perfect for oooey gooey at Halloween,

snow in the winter,

frosting for the birthdays!  

Endless FUN!

You can see this card and others here on my Instagram

and keep an eye out for an upcoming REEL! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
