Here'a a refresher.

Create a Halloween project using your NND products!

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

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!  

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?  

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!

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!

 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. She places a Newton image in each panel by combining the Batty Newton and the Count Newton stamp sets.  Don't you love how these sets go together!  Super fun!

 Becky Noelle fun interpretation of the sketch showcases the little spider image from the Spooky Street stamp set. Set on a black-scalloped frame die cut using the Frames & Flags die set, she adds a white cobweb using the Spiderweb stencil on a white-splattered black background.  She uses a circle die from the Circle Frames die set and pulls her frame apart at a diagonal.  She adds the sentiment from the Batty Newton stamp set.  Doesn't that spider look darling hanging hanging from the black twine!  Eeek!

Crystal Komara's brightly colored birthday card is sure to delight the recipient . On a purple-scalloped frame cut using the Frames & Flags die set , Crystal adds rainbow-colored paper set on a diagonal.  Using the Balloon Shaker die set, she stamps the bold sentiments from the Birthday Essentials stamp set in the center of the balloons and adds color-coordinating sequins!  Let the celebrations begin!

 Debbie Owens use of the dotted line embossing folder and string pattern paper provide a fabulous background to showcase the feline from the Newton Unwinds stamp set on his giant ball of yarn!  She die cuts her pattern paper using the rounded-corner die from the Frames & Flags die set to give her panel a stitched look.  The little ball of yarn below the sentiment is a fun, playful touch!  

Diane Morales uses bright, bold stripes against a black card base to make a striking Halloween card.  Her black card base has been die cut using the scalloped-frame from the Frames & Flags die set. She die cuts her white circle using the Circle Frames die set and stamps the sentiment. Her trio of costume-clad felines from the Newton's Costume Party stamp set and coordinating die set look ready for a night of trick-or-treating!

Sue T.'s Halloween card is sure to spook. For her diagonal stripes, Sue uses a combination of Halloween paper and Washi tape in traditional Halloween colors--orange and black.  She then adds the Spooky Roundabout image from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set and die cuts using the large circle die from Circle Frames die set.  She then stamps an additional roundabout and fussy cuts the ghosts out.  She adds them to her card with some foam tape to have them pop up!  How fun!

Have you had a chance to make a card for our latest Inky Paws Challenge? 
Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Here'a a refresher.




Create a project using the colors: orange, purple, yellow, and black.

Today I have some more inspiration for this Challenge! 

Sue T. creates black on black layers to showcase her spookily-cute tag.  Her second black layer has the postage-edging that adds a nice texture and was created using the large frame die from the Framework die set. Sue distresses in orange her tag which was die cute using  Fancy Edges Tag die set.  She goes back and uses the Spiderweb stencil to add a black cobweb.  There's no spider on this web! Instead, Sue adds the darling duo from the Happy Howl-oween stamp and die set. Aren't they darling in their cute costumes?  

 Becky Noelle's midnight scene with the dark purple sky and black silhouettes of trees and fence from the Forest Scene Builder and the Fence die sets make for an eerie backdrop.  She adds black hills using the Land Borders die set for her black kitties to romp. Those black kitties are from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set. A Halloween scene filled with spooks and sweetness!

Crystal Komara creates a vibrant background in orange and purple with lots of speckles. She uses the Slimline Frames & Windows die set to make a black window frame which she fills with some overly large letters that spell BOO!  She pulls out two of the images from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set and colors her pumpkins orange and purple.  The addition of the 3D bats is a spook-tacular touch to this fabulous card!

 Debbie Owens creates layers of Halloween fun!  Starting with the purple scallop-edged background using the Frames & Flags die set, she embosses using the Spiderweb stencil and embossing paste and distress ink.  She adds the scallop-edged circle die cut using the largest die from the Circle Frames die set and distresses the edge in purple. She features the Spooky Roundabout stamp set on it and colors the images in orange, yellow, and black.  She adds a black banner (Frames & Flags die set) and embosses the sentiment in white.  She stamps and colors the trio of trick-or-treaters from the Halloween Trio stamp set.  She pulls the candy images from the Candy Corn and the Halloween stamp sets and scatters them around her sweet critters.  A fun way to combine products for a layered Halloween card!

 

Diane Morales takes a simplicity approach to the challenge creating this absolutely darling Halloween card! Using the Slimline Frames & Portholes die set, she creates the black, scallop-edged card base. She creates a spooky background using the Ghosts stencil and gradients the challenge colors. She adds a black hill using the Land Borders die set and adds the Trick-or-Treat sentiment using the die from the Halloween Trio die set.  She die cuts several bat images using the same set and scatters the bats among the ghosts!  Spook-tacular!
