Inky Paws Challenge #256 Week 4

 

Last Week of Our 

September Challenge


We can't wait to see your Fall and/or Halloween creations!

You have until Friday, September 25, 2026 (Midnight CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop! The winners will be announced on the NND blog the following Monday. Make sure you check the challenge rules page before linking up your project. NND products are required.

Here's some inspiration: 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!

Claire Lamb distresses a very bold and spooky backdrop complete with webs and spiders! She uses the Spooky Stories and the Spiderweb Oval to create those spooky elements and the sentiment. She then adds some books which are full of witch recipes  and spooky spells using the Bookmark II die set. A fabulous card for someone who loves reading spooky tales!

A spooky card to send to a coffee lover!

To create her center panel she uses one of the dies from the Basic Frames set. A great combination of products to celebrate the pumpkin-spice season!

Deb makes her spooky scene using the Land Border die set, the Frames & Tags die, and the Clouds stencil. A fun way to use the October colors!
