Inky Paws Challenge #256- Final Week

Today is a bittersweet day for me as it's my last post as a team member of the Inky Paws Challenge team. After 3 years I decided to step down from the team but I will play along when I can and I will always love Newton's Nook! A big thank you to Jen, the owner of Newton's Nook, for giving me this opportunity and for such an amazing team with no drama!

Today I have more inspiration for the current Inky Paws Challenge! The challenge runs through September 26, 2025! Link your creations on the Inky Paws Challenge Blog for a chance to win $20 store credit at the Newton's Nook Shop! Check out the Challenge Rules before you create your project!

We couldn't decide between fall and Halloween so we're choosing BOTH! Create a card with a fall and/or Halloween theme to join. Create a thank you using fall images and colors. Try creating a cute (or spooky) Halloween scene. This time of year is filled with frights and delights! Choose your favorite and enter today!


I went with a Halloween theme this week! I used the Spooky Coffees stamp set/dies along with the Halloween Time 6x6 paper and Frames & Tags Die.




Thanks for stopping by and be sure to grab out your Newton's Nook goodies and come play along with us at the Inky Paws Challenge!!

Have a super day and go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Crafty Coffee Break Collab | More Than Coffee

I'm excited to be doing a little collab today with my friend, Teresa of the Fresh and Renewed with Teresa channel! For the month of September we are doing the Crafty Coffee Break Collab where we share coffee themed projects each Friday!

Watch my video for today HERE!!

For today's card I pulled out the Sweet November Stamps More Than Coffee-Limited Edition stamp set. I love the little mouse! I paper pieced the sleeve on the coffee cup for some interest.




Have a wonderful day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Foiling Friday | Merry & Bright

It's time for another Foiling Friday! Yay! You can watch my video for today's cards HERE!


I decided to switch gears from birthday cards to holiday cards this week! I pulled out the Pink & Main Merry & Bright Foilable Kit and the Dimesional Red CheerFoil!

I used one of the backgrounds and sentiments from the Merry & Bright Foilable Kit to create two cards this week.

The first card uses the sentiment along with the Pink & Main Merry & Bright 6x6 Paper Pad. The paper is a little non-traditional and makes me happy! I think the pretty foiled sentiment really stands out!




The second card uses the background along with the Pink & Main Oh My Garland stamp set. What a cute stamp set!! I heat embossed the sentiment so it would stand out.




Have a marvelous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

For today's card I used the Heartfelt Fall stamp set with the Heart Frames Dies to cut it out. I thought the papers from the Autumn Meows 6x6 paper pad went well with it and I added a square from the Frames Squared dies for interest.

Beary Happy Birthday!

In my Facebook group, This & That With Danni's Dreams, the current challenge is Pandas! I wanted to get one more inspiration card done before the challenge ends on 9/15/2026.

I pulled out the Sunny Studio Panda Party stamp set to create with! I thought the Newton's Nook Postage Stamp Layout die was perfect for the cute little pandas!


The red star paper from the Sunny Studio Rainbow Bright 6x6 paper pad was perfect to let the pandas shine! I found one of the hearts I used as an embellishment in my stash already die cut out and then I die cut the other two from Jaded Blossom's Valentine Embellishment Cluster dies.



The card came out so cute and fun! Love the sweet pandas!

Have a fabulous day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!

Life is better with a friend like you

Today I have a super sweet card using crafty goodies from Pajama Crafter Stamps!

I started with my sweet kitty cat and ladybug from the Where Hope Blooms stamp set and I colored them with Copics. I die cut the image out with the Scalloped Circle Die, what a pretty little die!


Next I used the Spring Plaids 6x6 Paper Pad to create my layout. My sentiment comes from the Buggin' You Stamp Set



I think it turned out so super sweet! Love that cute kitty cat!

Bakers Gonna Bake

I wanted to make a card to thank our neighbors for brining over some muffins to share so I pulled out the Whimsy Stamps Slimline Double Oven Die Set and the Whimsy Stamps Just Roll With It Stamp Set to create a fun slimline card.

I probably should have used a different color than white but I like the "clean" look of white so I went with it!


Hopefully my neighbors like it!

Orange You Glad I Remembered Your Birthday

I was late with my son's birthday card so I created this punny card for him as I know he'll love the puns!


Trinity Stamps makes it so easy to create fun and easy cards! I used the Circle Shaped Card Die for the base and then added die cuts from the Orange You Glad Die Set and finished it off with the little orange and sentiments from the Hey, Cutie Stamp/Dies!

Keep on Chuggin'

I have a video up today sharing how I created this awesome card using the Pajama Crafter Stamps Adult Sippy Cup die as the focal point!  Watch my video HERE!!

I recently gave up drinking soda so I'm drinking a lot more water now and thought this card would be encouraging to anyone else trying to drink more water.




Have an amazing day! Go do something for yourself and go get crafty!
