Spook-tacular Halloween Card by Amanda Wilcox

Spook-tacular Halloween!

Today we are stacking up a pile fun Halloween fun on this cute card by Amanda! 

To create this fun card she started by stamping the fun image of the dog and cat from our Halloween Pile Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how the kitty is up on the dogs shoulders? She colored the image using alcohol markers, adding fun dotted details to the kitties fur. The cut the image out using the coordinating Halloween Pile Die Set. 

Next, she created a fun shiny pink spiderweb using our Spiderweb Hot Foil Plates with pink foil. She also added a bit of ink over the top to add a pink glow along the edge. She cut the web out using the scallop edged rectangle from our Framework Die Set. Then she layered this behind the stack of Halloween friends. So cute! 

She layered this panel over a black card base that she had created using distress inks. Then she finished the card off by adding the spook-tacular Halloween sentiment from the Halloween Pile Stamp Set onto a banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

What an adorable Halloween creation! We hope this card has inspired you to create some Halloween cards with a pop of pink! Love this idea!

Spook-tacular Halloween Wishes!

Today we are sharing a spooky cute Halloween card by Diane!

For this card she features the cute stack of friends dressed in halloween costumes from our Halloween Pile Stamp Set. She colored the kitty and puppy using neutral colors with pops of orange for Halloween. She cut the image out using the coordinating Halloween Pile Die Set. 

For her card, she created a slimline layout using the tall skinny scallop edged rectangle die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. She then used the spider patterned paper from our Halloween Time Paper Pad, cutting the paper in angled stripes to fit onto the slim card front. 

She added the cute pile of friends onto the card, framing the image with an oval (cut out using our Oval Frames Die Set). She added the sentiment from the Halloween Pile Stamp Set in the upper right corner, stamped onto a small white banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

The finishing touch is lots of little bats, also from the Halloween Pile Stamp Set. She embossed the bats using glittery embossing powder to give the card a bit of sparkle! 

We hope this card by Diane has made you smile today! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project. 

Halloween Inspiration Week - Day 2 - Zsofia & Amanda

This week Newton's Nook Designs is getting ready for Halloween with a fun Inspiration week! 

All week the NND Design Team will be sharing inspiration using some of their favorite Halloween products to get you in the mood for tricks and treats! Today we are featuring cute and spooky projects by Amanda Wilcox and Zsofia Molnar.

 Zsofia created a trick-or-treat scene featuring fun halloween dogs and cats on her card!

For this fun scene, Zsofia paired the Kitty and puppies from our Halloween stamp sets. The image of two dogs on the left is from our Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set and the image of the dog and cat stacked on the right is from our Halloween Pile Stamp Set. She embossed the images with black embossing poweder to give them a nice crisp edge and colored them using fun, bright halloween colors. She cut the images out usign the coordinating Happy Howl-oween Die Set and Halloween Pile Die Set.

For the scene on her card she created a blue and purple sky using distress inks. She embossed the sentiment into the sky with white embossing powder and added a little bat too!

She added in a fence that was cut out using our Fence Die Set and a little bit of grass along the bottom using our Land Borders Die Set. The whole scene is framed with a black postage edged frame cut out with our Framework Die Set. 

It's so easy to mix and match the characters from our different Halloween designs! What a fun way to send a Happy Halloween greeting!Halloween products used: Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set, Happy Howl-oween Die Set, Halloween Pile Stamp Set, Halloween Pile Die Set

For the incredible card, Amanda stamped and embossed the big circle image from our Spooky Roundabout Stamp Set multiple times to create a fun background filled with ghosts, pumpkins, and more! Then she inked over the white embossing using distress inks and added some black and white paint splatters to add to the spooky effect! She cut this panel out using our Framework Die Set to give it a fun postage edge. 

For the main image, she stamped and colored the kitty dressed in a bat costume from our Batty Newton Stamp Set. She colored the kitty in neutral gray tones and made the bat wings dusty purple. A bright green collar and pink ears and toes give the image a fun pop of color! She cut the image out using the  coordinating Batty Newton Die Set and layered it over her fun background.  For the sentiment she used "feline batty" from the Batty Newton Stamp Set and embossed it in white onto a black tag cut out using our Framework Die Set.

What a great way to create a custom background to showcase a favorite stamp! We hope you enjoyed this idea today!

Trick or Treat Yo' Self Card by Zsofia Molnar

Trick or Treat Yo' Self!

Today we have a fun Halloween card by Zsofia that is sure to make you smile! 

She created this fun Halloween scene featuring Newton dressed as Frankenstein from our Franken-Newton Stamp Set. This cute kitty looks so fun in bright green! She colored the kitty, a couple of chemistry vials and the brain from the same stamp set and cut everything out using the coordinating Franken-Newton Die Set. 

Next, she created a spooky halloween scene for the images. She created a purple inked background, masking off a moon using a circle from our Circle Frames Die Set and added some fun black paint splatters. Then she added a small bit of grass along the bottom, die cut using our Land Borders Die Set. In the center of the moon she stamped the "Trick or Treat Yo' Self" from our Halloween Pile Stamp Set. She layered the kitty and chemistry vials onto the scene. She also added a few bats, using the stamp from our Halloween Pile Stamp Set and cutting them out with the coordinating Halloween Pile Die Set.  The whole scene is framed with a black scallop edged panel that was die cut using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she added the scene onto her card, layering it over a fun skull and bone pattern from our Halloween Woofs Paper Pad. So spoooooky!

Here is a close up so you can see all the extra details like the gloss she added over the parts of the images:
