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


Boo-yah! by Debbie features Ghostly Good Times, Halloween Times, Spooky Line Street, and Frames Squared by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #puppycards
Debbie Owens creates a spooky square card using the Frames Squared die set. On a yellow background, she adds her background using the Spooky Line Street stencil. She then adds a shimmering puppy ghost from the Ghostly Good Times stamp set. The black and yellow paper from the Halloween Time paper pad adds to the fun as do the little touches of fuchsia!



Amy Tollner's candy-filled card is any trick-or-treaters' dream! That candy filled background comes from the Halloween Woofs Paper Pad. She adds a trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio Stamp and coordinating die set. An added Jack-o-lantern bucket from the Count Newton Stamp and coordinating die set - pumpkin pail adds to the fun. The sentiment is stamped on a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set. Amy also uses the postage-edge frame from the Framework Die Set.



Claire Lamb uses shades of teal to make the cutest evening setting for her little ghosts! She uses the Spooky Line Street stencil to add the stars and the mini ghosts in the background. She then adds the kitty and puppy ghosts from the Ghostly Good Times stamp and die set. Who knew that teal would look so spooky? Nicely done, Crystal!


Crystal Minkler's card is so cute with ALL the pumpkins! Crystal pulls pumpkin papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad and matches with the little kitty from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. She adds a sentiment from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set as well as some bats using the Witchy Newton die set. A little vellum oval frames (Oval Frames die set) frames the sweet kitty witch! Adorable!



Danni Bindel creates a darling card featuring the perfect paper from the Halloween Time paper pad with the little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set. The little witch looks darling with the cauldron and different potions in the paper. To break up the paper, Danni uses one of the dies from the Framework die set. Fabulous combination!!

You say Witch like it's a bad thing by Diane features Frames & Flags, Serene Stripes, and Brooms & Boos by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #halloweencards
Diane Morales uses a teal palette to design a darling Halloween card. She uses the Frames & Flags die set to create her card base. Then she uses the Serene Stripes stencil to partially distress a pretty teal ground for her sweet witch.  She pulls the witch with her broom from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set and adds the sentiment and a couple of spooky bats!  Eerily cute!  



Cheers Witches by Sue features Spider Web, Spooky Roundabout, and Brooms and Boos by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking
Sue T. begins by using the Spiderweb stencil on a black card base. She then uses the  Spooky Roundabout stamp set. She embosses it in white on a black circular die cut using the Circle Frames die set. The black on black adds a spooky setting for the martini-totin' witch from the Brooms and Boos stamp and die set.  Don't you love how the skull is offering up the toast on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set?  



Witch Tags by Amy features Brooms & Boos and Fancy Edges by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #tagmaking, #halloweencards
Amy Tollner uses all three witch images from the Brooms and Boos stamp and coordinating die set.  She uses the Fancy Edges die set to cut a trio of tags on which she distresses and paint splatters her backgrounds.  She uses the zig-zag die from the Fancy Edges die set to create the "ragged" edge in black on which she white heat embosses the sentiment.  Spookily cute tags!



Feline Batty by Claire features Batty Newton and Newton's Boo-tiful Night by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #halloweencards
Claire Lamb is back with her amazing purple distressed background!  This time she adds bats (Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set) and stars in a circular pattern with Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and die set taking center stage!  She continues the touch of gold by heat embossing the sentiment!  Bat-acularly done, Claire!

You can count on me by Debbie features Count Newton, Batty Newton, Slimline Frames & Portholes, and Slimline Frames & Windows by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #catcards, #cardmaking
 Debbie Owens brings us this colorful card filled with Count Newton fun! Using the Slimline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die sets, Deb makes the background. On each window panel she adds black grass to the spooky paper using the Land Borders die set.

Happy Halloween by Debbie features Trick or Treat Kittens, Count Newton, Batty Newton, Land Borders, Framework, and Ghosts by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking, #catcards
Debbie Owens has dressed one of the kittens from the Smitten Kittens stamp set with a mask from the Newton's Costume Party stamp set and placed him in a little graveyard with tombstones from the Count Newton stamp set. She adds ghastly ghosts using the Ghosts stencil and black grass using the Land Borders die set.

Witch way to the candy by Diane features Frames & Flags, Harvest Tails, PAW-tumn Newton, Brooms & Boos, and Flying Bats by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #halloweencards, #cardmaking
Diane Morales gives us another take on the sketch with a Halloween theme. She creates her card base using the Frames & Flags die set. Those black bats using the Flying Bats stencil set gives an eerie feel just right for the little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set. Diane's use of pastel pinks and oranges continues with the additional pumpkins from the PAW-tumn Newton and die set and Harvest Tails stamp and die set.  Scary and so, so cute!


I'd rather be lost at the lake by Sue features Clouds and Winston's Lake House by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cabincards
Sue T. has Winston enjoying a long weekend at his lake cabin!  Using the Winston's Lake House stamp and coordinating die set, Winston is relaxing in his Adirondack chair with his cabin peeking out behind him.  Sue adds big fluffy clouds in the backdrop using the Clouds stencil.  The plaid paper and wood grain papers add a wonderful homey touch. 



Lookin' sharp by Amy features Cultivated Cacti and Hardwood by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cactuscards
Amy Tollner provides a bright and bold card filled with desert delights!  Set atop a light blue card base, she adds a wooden table top using the Hardwood stencil. On it sits three brightly colored flower pots with some prickly catci from the Cultivated Cacti stamp and coordinating die set.  Lookin' sharp, Amy!



Hello fall by Claire features Falling Leaves and Fall Friends by Newton's Nook Designs;  #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #autumncards, #cardmaking
Claire Lamb gets us ready for the beauty of autumn! In the background are falling leaves created using the Falling Leaves stencil. She adds a wooden "floor" on which sits some critters enjoying a nap on the porch.  These cute critters are from the newly released Fall Friends stamp and coordinating die set.
