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

Sue T. uses the Wood stencil to give her card a nice backdrop for her row of colorful pumpkins. She uses the Circle Frames die set to create her layers on which she places her teal and orange pumpkins from the Newton's Boo-tiful Night stamp and die set. Don't you just love her calico kitten peeking out of the Jack-o-lantern?  For her sentiment, she stamps on a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set.  Total cuteness!

Amy Tollner creates a wonderful slimline autumn card!  She begins by combining dies from the Slimline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die sets to create her layers. She uses the Falling Leaves stencil to create her colorful leaves floating in the background. The two mice from the Autumn Mice stamp and die set are looking darling playing among the leaves and pumpkins!  A brilliant way to use the challenge colors!

Claire Lamb will have you heading to your local coffee shop for a pumpkin spice latte!  Her teal-colored sky is beautifully done as are all her pumpkins from the Signs of Fall stamp set.  Our fashionable lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set is all set for the pumpkin-spice season!  Wonderfully done, Claire!

Debbie Owens combines elements of several stamp sets to create an autumn setting just perfect for the sweet horse from the Neigh stamp set.  She uses the Fence die to create the brown fence and places pumpkins shaded in oranges and teals from the Signs of Fall stamp set. The colorful leaves floating down are from the Harvest Tails stamp set and the sentiment is from the Autumn Newton stamp set. She places all of her elements on the scallop-edged frame die cut using the Frames & Flags die set.  Such a fun way to combine stamp sets!

Eeek!  Diane Morales adds a latte cup from the Pumpkin Latte stamp and die set to Count Newton from the Count Newton stamp set and die set!  How cute and clever is this?  She places her elements on a circle die cut using the Circle Frames die set.  The punny sentiment works so well with both the coffin and the coffee!  Amazing, Diane!

Use the colors--Orange, Brown, Teal, Kraft.

latest Inky Paws Challenge!

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!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 24, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!

Diane Morales mimics a candy corn kernel with her slimline design! She uses the Slimline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die sets for her card base. For her trio of windows, she stamps the Spooky Roundabout  image to create a subtle, spooky background just perfect for her ghosts!  Those fun ghosts are from the Newton's Costume Party stamp and coordinating die set. She sprinkles in some flying bats from the Count Newton stamp and coordinating die set. She white embosses the sentiment on a black banner using the Banner Trio die set.  So, so fun!

Sue T. shows how to combine stencil sets to create a super fun Halloween card!  She combines the 

Bat and Ghosts stencil sets to create her card base.  Her hand drawn faces on the ghosts is a fabulous touch! She adds a speech bubble using the Speech Bubbles die set and adds Trick-or-Treat sentiment using the Halloween Trio die set.  Spook-tacularly done!

Amy Tollner makes a graveyard shadow box complete with purple lights!  She uses the Land Borders die set for her hills and grass and adds a moon using the  Peppermint die set. She uses images from the Spooky Street and the Spooky Skeletons stamp sets to create her eerie background with flying bats from the Halloween Trio die set.  Among the tombstones awaits a scarily-cute Newton from the Count Newton stamp and coordinating die set. Absolutely amazing!

Claire Lamb's amazing blending talents are showcased in this card. Her mulberry-colored sky coupled with her deep green hilly landscape (Land Borders die set) are just stunning together!  She adds a trio of birch trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  Taking a break from his nightly duties is our beloved Newton in his cozy coffin.  He and the tombstones are from the Count Newton stamp and coordinating die set.  

 Debbie Owens also showcases the Count Newton stamp set. She opts for a slimline card using the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.  For each window, she stamps images from the Spooky Street stamp set to create her spooky scene just right for Count Newton!  

Super fun!

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using this fabulous sketch!

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

Debbie Owens has dressed one of the kittens from the Smitten Kittens stamp set with a mask from the Newton's Costume Party stamp set and placed him in a little graveyard with tombstones from the Count Newton stamp set. She adds ghastly ghosts using the Ghosts stencil and black grass using the Land Borders die set. She pulls a sentiment from the Batty Newton stamp set and embosses in white.  The postage-edging using the Framework die set gives the background a nice touch.  Spook-CAT-ular!

Diane Morales gives us another take on the sketch with a Halloween theme. She creates her card base using the Frames & Flags die set. Those black bats using the Flying Bats stencil set gives an eerie feel just right for the little witch from the Brooms & Boos stamp and coordinating die set. Diane's use of pastel pinks and oranges continues with the additional pumpkins from the PAW-tumn Newton and die set and Harvest Tails stamp and die set.  Scary and so, so cute!

Sue T. has Winston enjoying a long weekend at his lake cabin!  Using the Winston's Lake House stamp and coordinating die set, Winston is relaxing in his Adirondack chair with his cabin peeking out behind him.  Sue adds big fluffy clouds in the backdrop using the Clouds stencil.  The plaid paper and wood grain papers add a wonderful homey touch. 

Amy Tollner provides a bright and bold card filled with desert delights!  Set atop a light blue card base, she adds a wooden table top using the Hardwood stencil. On it sits three brightly colored flower pots with some prickly catci from the Cultivated Cacti stamp and coordinating die set.  Lookin' sharp, Amy!

Claire Lamb gets us ready for the beauty of autumn! In the background are falling leaves created using the Falling Leaves stencil. She adds a wooden "floor" on which sits some critters enjoying a nap on the porch.  These cute critters are from the newly released Fall Friends stamp and coordinating die set. Looks like a perfect way to spend an autumn day!

I hope these projects have inspired you to play along!  Remember, you have until this Friday, September 10, 2021 to enter. There's a prize involved too, so don't delay - see more inspiration on our Inky Paws Challenge here!
