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!







One final look:


You can link up your cards here on the challenge blog

and do your shopping here in the store front!


Have a great week!

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!

 Hi friends!


I am happy to share another inspiration card

from the current Inky Paws Challenge

@ Newton's Nook Designs.


This week, I am inspired by the light blue sky

and snowflakes and created a sending you joy card.

Here is the inspo:


This is one of my FAVORITE Newton's Nook Designs stamp sets!

This is Holiday Post clear stamp set and matching outline die.

I paired it with the 6 x 6 patterned paper pad Christmas Time.

Remember, the NND paper pads are great for mix and match, too!

 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!
