Danni's FAVE

Debbie loved the striped papers Michelle Harlamert used on her sweet card. The darling mouse from the Autumn Mice stamp looks amazing on the fabulously designed card base!

Amy's FAVE

Amy loved all the pastel colored sweaters on Jacinda's wintry card. These fun images are from a retired stamp set called Sweater Weather. A beautiful CAS card!

Jennifer K. uses the colors for all those little coffee mugs which caught Claire's eye.  Those little mugs are from the Coffee Silhouettes die set and look cute inside the circles. Jennifer's adds a sentiment from the Love Cafe' stamp set.  A super cute coffee-themed card!

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!

Sue T. is felling batty with this clean and simple Halloween card. On her white card base, she adds two horizontal stripes using black tape.  On her large circle cut using a large circle die from the Circle Frames die set. She creates a purple, cloudy sky using the Clouds stencil and adds a colony of black bats using the Flying Bats stencil. And who is in the middle of those bats?  Newton from the Batty Newton stamp and die set, of course, donning his cute bat costume!  Sue stamps the sentiment on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  She outlines around the bubble to give it a personal touch!  Delightfully done!

 Becky Noelle is back with her amazing fussy cutting skills!  This time she stamps the image from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set twice, colored all the little Halloween spooks and candies before cutting each one out!  She then glues them on her die cut card stock.  She used the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She places this on an angle and adheres to a black card base.  Her white embossed sentiment and black scallop edging are her final touches to this delightful card!

Crystal Komara will wow you with her Halloween cocktails!  They look spook-tacular!  Beginning with a slim card base, she adds an orange background on which she adds her amazing water colored panel. Using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set, she layers a black outline frame with an orange pattern paper panel in the center window.  Using the Cocktail Mixer stamp and die set, she adds an array of cocktails shaded in Halloween colors. Eeek, how fun!  For her finale, she adds Newton 

 from Batty Newton stamp and die set in all his costume cuteness!  

Debbie Owens uses lots of purple!  Beginning with a distressed purple background she lightly splatters on some white. She adds a black landscape by creating grass and hills die cut using the Land Borders die set. Hidden in the tall, black grass, you'll find some colorful pumpkins and a kitten popping out of one. These are from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp set.  To balance her card, she adds the puppy in his pumpkin from the Pug-kin mini stamp set. Flying by the black moon die cut using the circle from the Slimline & Portholes die set is Newton in his vampire costume!  This little guy is from the Batty Newton stamp set!  A spook-tacular scene!

Diane Morales creates a clean and simple Halloween card that is filled with spooky cuteness.  On a lavender card base, she adds a black panel.  Shes an orange and a golden yellow vertical stripes.  For her central element, she uses the Spooky Roundabout stamp set and colors them in lavender, orange, and yellow.  The white embossed sentiment looks striking against the black.  Fab-BOO-lous!

Purple, Orange, White, and Teal

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Crystal Komara uses the challenge colors for an autumn card filled with cuteness!  Using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, she adds her scallop-edged layer. She uses the Land Borders die set to create her purple hilly land.  The Autumn Mice stamp and coordinating die set is used to add all the mice and autumn elements!  Don't you just love the teal and purple pumpkins and leaves!  

 Debbie Owens uses the scallop-edged dies from the Frames & Flags and the Framework die sets to create the layers of her card. She then creates a large puddle of water and adds  texture using the Waves stencil. Her water-lovin' canine from the Dog Days of Summer stamp set is definitely make some summer fun. Deb adds some extra splashes using the Waves & Splashes stencil. A fun way to celebrate the last weeks of summer!

Diane Morales creates two darling tags using products from the August Release. On teal and purple card stock, she uses the Houndstooth stencil to create the background.  She makes her tags using the Fancy Edges Tag die set. She stamps the owl from the Knight Owl stamp and cuts him out using the coordinating die set and the pug from the Pug-kin stamp and coordinating die set. She adheres them on the decorative square from Frames Squared die set. 

Sue T. uses the challenge colors to create a haunting cute card!  Using the Flying Bat stencil, she lightly distresses some purple bats for her background. She adds an orange banner with the sentiment stamped on it.  She then adds the feline from the Witchy Newton stamp and die set. Super cute!

 Becky Noelle's card pops with the bold orange leaves embossed using the Tropical Leaves stencil. She partially die cuts it using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. She adheres it to a teal card base. She then cuts a tag from the same teal using the Fancy Edges Tag die set and adds a vellum layer. She adds a floral wreath from the Happy Little Thoughts stamp set and carefully fussy cuts it out. She adds purple twine and bow as well as heat embosses the sentiment on her tag.
