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

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!

Now it's your turn to create a Halloween card that will spook us!

Inky Paws Challenge #207 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 the above sketch with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

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

Danni Bindel selects complimentary papers from the Autumn paper pad to coordinate with the mug of hot spiced cider from the Autumn Apples stamp and the coordinating die set. She continues by using the postage-edge frame from the Framework die set on a mustard-colored card stock.  She stamps her sentiment on a stitched oval using the Oval Frames die set.  The combination of colors and patterns is a perfect mix to celebrate autumn!

Debbie Owens is sharing two cards using the same papers with two very different themes.  She is using the purple striped paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad and the green hounds tooth paper from the Canine Christmas paper pads. After cutting her diagonal strips, she uses half of them on her Halloween card which features the feline monster from the Franken-Newton stamp set. She uses a combination of dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Framework die set. Now take a peek of how she uses the other half of those diagonal strips.

Her second card has a more autumn feel with the lavender mum from the Chrysanthemum stamp set. She  uses the Framework die set, and a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set.  What a great way to use up those strips of paper for two uniquely different cards!

Amy Tollner picks a trio of papers from the Halloween Meows  paper pad and the Halloween Woofs paper pad that gives her card a very scary vibe. She then white embosses some spooky eyes and sentiment from the Spooky Street stamp set on a black oval (Oval Frames die set).  Don't you just love all those scary eyes looking at you? Love it!

Claire Lamb uses the challenge sketch for a more soothing card with her diagonal stripes mimicking the colors of a rain shower. Enjoying his time in the rain is our darling dachsund from the Rainy Days Doxie stamp and coordinating die set. She pulls her sentiment from the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. A wonderful card for friends in the Pacific Northwest!

Crystal Minkler delights us with another Halloween card. Crystal selects papers from the Halloween Meows paper pad with her sentiment stamped on ovals created using the Oval Frames. She continues the fun by adding the little feline in her boot from the Witchy Newton stamp and coordinating stamp set for the inside of her card. She creates a fun sentiment using stamps from the Spiderweb Oval and the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set.

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 29,  2023 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
