Debbie Owens creates a scary distressed background on her slimline card featuring a black scallop-edged background (Slimline Frames & Portholes die set). She uses the Spooky Street stamp set to add some scary trees and tombstones. Enjoying their evening out are two vampire kitties from the Batty Newton and the Count Newton stamp sets. Don't you love their teal capes? So fun!

Amy Tollner showcases the witch image from the Witchy Newton stamp and coordinating die set. She places this darling witch on an oval card base (Oval Frames die set) which includes some spider webs from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set. She adds a duo of bats using dies from the Halloween Trio die set. She adds a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on a banner cut using the Banner Trio die set. A spook-tacular Halloween cared!

Claire Lamb creates a pair of Halloween tags that are perfect for the occasion.  She uses the Jar Hot Foil plate and die set to create her tag shape. Then she adds some spooky elements inside her jars. Those spider webs are from the Spiderweb Oval stamp set. The bats are from the Batty Newton stamps.  Loving her jar labels?  She uses the A7 Frames & Banners die set and adds images from the newly released Halloween Apothecary stamp set. So spookily cute!

Crystal Minkler's spooky background filled with bats was made using the Flying Bats stencil. She then adds a black frame combining the Framework and the Land Borders die sets.  Enjoying all those creepy bats is a little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set.  The overall effect is a spooky, yet darling, card!

Danni Bindel's card is too cute to spook!  She pulls papers from the Halloween Time paper pad.  Don't you love the background paper with the Halloween scene already made for you?  Danni slips a striped paper behind it to add more color and fun. She also uses the Frames & Flags die set to get the scallop edging.  She adds the trio from the Halloween Trio stamp and coordinating die set who look like they are having a great time!  Darling!

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use the theme, Halloween, with your NND Products.

The IPC Design Team has more cute, but spooky, Halloween cards to inspire you!

Amy Tollner creates a spooky evening sky in shades of purple complete with a full moon (Sky Scene Builder die set). Then she adds an old tree and owl from the Spooky Street stamp set.  She adds some tombstones (Spooky Street stamp set) on her black grass (Land Borders die set).  Enjoying this spooky occasion are critters from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set.  For her postage-edging, she uses the Framework die set.  Spook-tacularly done!

The Frames Squared die set was used to create this darling card created by Claire Lamb. Claire distresses a beautiful evening sky just right for our mysterious Count Newton from the Count Newton stamp and die set. She adds a rolling landscape in black using the Land Borders die set.  The added bats and tombstones complete this eerie scene!

Debbie Owens creates her own spooky scene with a full moon (Circle Frames die set) spotlighting Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp set as he flies through the sky! She, too, uses the creepy tree from the  Spooky Street stamp set.  She then adds some colorful Jack-o-lanterns from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set.  Isn't Newton looking cute with his head poking out of the black pumpkin?  The sentiment was pulled from the Count Newton stamp set.

Our gals are on a roll with spooky backgrounds!  Diane Morales adds spooky lavender clouds  (Clouds stencil) to her cemetery scene filled with headstones from the Spooky Street stamp set.  Bravely strolling through this scene is Newton and his pals from the Halloween Pile Up stamp and die set. No spooky scene can be complete without some added bats!  

Sue T. fills her background with embossed spooky bats using the Flying Bats stencil. She adds a full moon complete with craters, which she makes using the Bokeh stencil.  She adds her Count Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and die set in front of her big moon.  She adds a sentiment from the hSpooky Roundabout stamp set.  Of course, she completes her card with spooky bats!

Inky Paws Challenge #182 Reminder

 

Don't forget - 
There's still time to play along with our 

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

  

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 

Here's a refresher.

Use your NND products with the colors:

Orange, Green, Black, & Cream.

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

Diane Morales uses a trio of the colors to make a striped background die cut using the Frames & Flags die set. She then stamps the beautiful pumpkins from the Autumn Oval stamp set which she frames with a white scallop oval using the Oval Frames die set. Her bold, crisp style is spectacular!

Sue T. uses the challenge colors in a spook-tacular way! She embosses bats on her black card stock (Flying Bats stencil) which she cuts using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She die cuts a circle and has Jack-o-lanterns peeking through using the Jack-o-Lantern stencil. Enjoying all of the Halloween fun is Newton from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp and die set. She uses a sentiment from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set stamped on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set. The added white stars and moons on Newton's hat look amazing!

Hope you're not afraid of spiders because Amy Tollner's card is filled with them! Amy uses spidery paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad and die cut using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set. She continues the spidery theme using the Spiderweb Oval stamp set die cut using the scallop frame from the Oval Frames die set. Her very brave puppy is from the Pug-kin stamp and die set. Oh, in case you missed it, there's a white spider (Newton's Perfect Pumpkin stamp set) dangling from the web! Eeek!

Claire Lamb is back with one of her amazing backgrounds!!! This one features a very large and spooky full moon! Yikes! She makes this amazing moon using the Circle Frames die set to create a mask for it. She uses greens to make the night sky and the Land Borders die set to make the grass. And who is out and about on such a scary night? Our very own Franken-Newton from the Franken-Newton stamp and die set. Fantastically scary!

To calm your nerves from all that scariness is Debbie Owens with a unique take on the challenge colors. Deb pulls the sweet gnome from the Gnome Garden stamp set and sets him among black-gingham hills and green grass using the Land Borders and Sea Borders die sets. She cuts a scalloped oval from the card base (Oval Frames die set) and has green puffy clouds in the background (Clouds stencil). Great way to showcase these fun colors!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 23, 2022 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Need to get inspired? See what our Inspiration Team created with this challenge! 

Amy Tollner showcases the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set in this bright, fun card!  For her vertical element, she white heat embosses the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on a black card base. She creates a a starry backdrop on a rounded-square using the Frames Squared die set complete with black grass (Hills & Grass stencil) and crescent moon (Brooms & Boos stamp and die set). She places this atop a purple layer which makes the colors just pop! Those puppies are ready for a night of trick-or-treating!  Super cute, Amy!

Claire Lamb showcases one of the beautiful birds from the Winter Birds stamp and coordinating die set. Her vertical element is a trio of trees die cut using the Forest Scene Builder die set. She then uses the leaf dies from this same set and the stitched leaf die from the Fall Friends die set to create layers of leaves in bold, autumn colors for her sweet bird to sit among.  Claire's unique take on the sketch and CAS style makes for a stunning fall card!

Debbie Owens showcases Newton playing in a leaf pile from the Autumn Newton stamp set. Set behind him is the challenge's vertical strip with falling leaves stamped using the Fall Roundabout stamp set. Also used were the Slimline Frames & Windows die set (square panel) and the Circle Frames die set on which the sentiment was stamped.  A fun, playful card!

Diane Morales showcases the Trick or Treat Kittens stamp and die set for another spook-tacularly cute Halloween card!  Using one stencil from the Argyle stencil set in bright orange and yellows provides a playful backdrop on which she adds the black open frame (Frameworks die set). Diane uses the

Circle Frames die set for her sentiment and the Slimline Frames & Windows die set for her square on which she places the kitten.  So cute!

Sue T. treats us with another fun Halloween card. Her card features the spooky, but totally adorable, Newton from the Count Newton stamp and die set. Sue uses the Flying Bats stencil on a rounded-edge rectangle using the Frames & Flags die set. Those bats look wonderful with the horizontal striped paper behind it.  She surrounds her Count Newton with tombstones for an added touch of spookiness!  Eeek!
