Glow in the Dark Halloween Card by Larissa Heskett

A Spooky Halloween Greeting! 

Today we are sharing a super fun card by Larissa that uses some fun techniques, including glow-in the dark embossing.

For the fun background she used our Ghosts Stencil along with some white flock to create a fun spooky sky. After the flocking was applied she also added some yellow distress ink over parts of the ghosts to add to the spooky feeling! She framed this panel with a fun postage edged frame that was covered in lime green foil and cut out using our Framework Die Set. 

For the sentiment in the center she used a sentiment from our retiring Creepy Cameos Stamp Set, embossing it with glow in the dark embossing powder! Here is a close up of how it looks in the dark:

She layered the sentient over the ornate frame image from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set, which was embossed with glittery black embossing powder and cut out using the coordinating Creepy Cameos Die Set. Here is a close-up so you can see all the other amazing details!

What a fun way to send a spooky Halloween wish!

The Creepy Cameos Stamp Set and Creepy Cameo Die Set are part of our retiring sale and will only be available while supplies so if you like these products, make sure you get them while you can and don't forget to see what else is retiring in our retiring sale category!

Wishing You a Spooky Halloween Card by Holly Endress

Get ready for a Spooky Halloween!

It's October 1st today so we are getting in the mood for Halloween! This spooky card by Holly should help you be inspired to create some spooky greetings! She used our Creepy Cameos Stamp Set to create a trio of fun frames. She stamped and embossed the black frames from the set and cut them out using the coordinating Creepy Cameos Die Set. She added purple to the centers and then layered the silhouette images, also from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set over them. For the background she added bats using our Flying Bats Stencil and added gray ink around the edges for a spooky look! So perfect for Halloween!

Happy Halloween Card by Maria Russell

Happy Halloween!

Have you thought about Halloween cards yet? Even though we are still enjoying summer we know fall and Halloween will be here before you know it! Maria is thinking ahead to the next fun season and created this amazing Halloween card today!

She created this fun scene by combing several Halloween and Fall stamp sets! She used the kitty hugging the jack-o-lantern from our Newton's Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set. She added the fun bold pumpkin with the polka dots using our Pick-a-Pumpkin Stamp Set and the smaller pumpkins from our Fall-ing for You Stamp Set. 

To create the fun night scene she cut black grass using our Land Borders Die Set and trees using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set. She added the spiderweb and spider from the Newton's Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set. She inked a night sky and added the bats and moon from our Newton's Boo-tiful Night Stamp Set.  She finished the scene by added the "Happy Halloween" Stamp Set from our Creepy Cameos Stamp Set.

Thank you for the fun Halloween inspiration, Maria! I To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs and don't forget to subscribe to her YouTube channel too!

Spooky Card by October Guest Designer Waleska Galindo

Hello Friends!!! Waleska from craftinglovew here, with my last post as the October Guest Designer... (sad face) I had a blast during this month sharing with you a little bit of my Halloween Card Love!!! Tomorrow is Halloween and for today's card as you already imagine I did another Halloween Card! I just can't stop, Newton's Nook stamps are so awesome!!! I hope your halloween decorations are up and you have your costume ready!!! This card was inspired on my own Halloween decorations! Every year the Halloween decoration of my fireplace is very special for all the family!

CARD DETAILS:

I started with a cream card base, I sponged the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink, to make the down part of the wall I used a scoreboard and score every 1/2 inch to create a wall texture and sponge it again with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to accentuate the raised lines. I cut a strip of cardstock in the same color and adhere it to the scored panel. I stamp the spooky frame from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set and the spooky skeleton with Versafine ink and clear embossing powder. I die cut a gray fireplace with a brick stencil and walnut stain distress ink I created the brick look. I decorated the fireplace with some of the animals from the Spooky Skeletons Stamp Set and I also added bats and spooky pumpkins! 

Thank you so much for stopping by and let me share with you all this Halloween cards! I hope you have an Amazing day! I am very grateful to Newton's Nook for the opportunity to share with you my love not only for halloween cards but for Cardmaking! I send you:

Hugs, Love and a Spooktacular Halloween!!!

Happy Halloween Card by October Guest Designer Waleska Galinda

Hello Friends!!! Waleska here... and for today's card poor Newton was so scared he jumped to the wall.  Every time I make scene cards, I try to think on a special scenario and work with my images! Let me share with you how I created this one:

CARD DETAILS:

I wanted to create a scene with a spooky wall with Newton hanging because he is so scared after seeing that spooky frame or mirror.  I cut a cream cardstock for the front of my card and sponge the edges with Walnut Stain Distress Ink.  To make the down part of the wall I used a score board and score every 1/2 inch to create a wall texture and sponge it again with Walnut Stain Distress Ink to accentuate the raised lines.  I cut a strip of cardstock in the same color and adhere it to the scored panel with foam.

After I had my wall I stamped the spooky frame from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set with Versafine ink and added clear embossing powder, for the inside part of the frame I used gray cardstock to simulate glass and stamped the creepy skull that scares Newton.  Finally I added the very frightened Newton from a non halloween stamp set called Naughty Newton to the wall and I added the sentiment from Newtons Costume Party Stamp Set.

I hope you like my card and I could inspire you to create and think outside box with your stamps to create fun scenes!  I hope you have a great starting week!

Spooky Halloween Card and Treat Jar by Juliana Michaels

Spooky Halloween Treats! 

Today we have a fun set of Halloween goodies by Juliana using our new Creepy Cameos Stamp Set! She created a fun card by cutting out three frames with Cameo Frame Die Set and layering them over  orange and green shapes cut with the Creepy Cameos Die Set. Then she embossed the creepy skeletons with white on black cardstock and trimmed them our using the Cameo Frame Die Set. She also cut out a white oval using the Cameo Frame Die Set and stamped the "eat, drink, and be scary" sentient inside it. This looks so great against the purple card base! She created another fun framed sentiment using the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set and Cameo Frame Die Set as a tag for her jar of candy corn! It would be fun to create a bunch of jars like this for a Halloween party with different treats inside!

Thanks, Juliana, for the spooky inspiration today! To see more creations by Juliana, visit her over to her blog, 17 Turtles!

Spooky Halloween Wishes by October Guest Designer Waleska Galindo

Today we have our first post from our October Guest Designer, Waleska Galindo! We are so excited to have Waleska designing with us this month! She is fabulous and creating cards with adorable scenes and fun bright colors and we can't wait to share what she creates with our stamps! Keep reading to find out more about Waleska today and to check out her first project below!

Hello my name is Waleska Galindo. I live in the beautiful Guatemala City, Central America, I am probably the only stamper around here.  I have a wonderful husband and 2 full of energy kids. I have always loved art and making things with my hands.  I am a Graphic Designer that fell in love with cardmaking 3 years ago, I think I just enjoy the process of being creative, so when I discover the Cardmaking world just fit me perfectly.   I am a very passionate in all I do and stamping and cardmaking are not the exception.  I love making scene cards and using stamps in creative ways. 

Besides cardmaking I am also a Fashion Designer, Movie lover and Stamp Collector... You can find me blogging at craftinglovew.blogspot.com but I mostly share my cards on my Instagram craftinglovew.  I am super excited to be a Guest Designer for Newton's Nook and I am truly thankful for the opportunity!! Specially for this Halloween Season which is my favorite.  That is me!!! 

Hello Friends Waleska from craftinglovew here... 

I am so excited to be Newton's Nook October Guest Designer thank you so much for inviting me. I first have to admit I am a Halloween lover so this past Newton release was just too awesome and perfect for me, I am using a lot of the new stamps and I am having so much fun with them.

CARD DETAILS: 

For my first card I used almost all of the stamps from the Spooky Skeletons Stamp Set. I love to create little scenes on my cards, so the idea for this one was a very Spooky Halloween Decoration. I first stamped the skeletons in Onyx Black Versafine ink and put Black Sparkle embossing powder to have shinning Spooky Skeletons!!! I cut them and set them aside to make the background.

For the background I used Spiced Marmalade Oxide ink and some water splashes.  I also sponged the edges with Walnut Stain regular Distress Ink to give the card a more spooky feel. I stamped in the center of the card the amazing frame or mirror (you can use it for both) from the Creepy Cameos Stamp Set with Versafine Onyx ink and  also put Black Sparkle embossing powder to unify the sparkle vibe on my card.  I create the inside part of the frame by cutting an oval from gray cardstock.

I finally cut a strip of gray cardstock and sponge it with Walnut Stain Distress ink to create the shelf for all the Halloween Spooky Decor and raised all the images with 3D foam... What do you think? Creepy enough? I just wish I have this awesome skeletons to actually decor my living room like this...  I hope you like my card and get some inspiration to start creating halloween cards.  

Have a Spooktacular Day!
