Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #481--Newton's Nook Designs

This biweekly challenge is sponsored by Newton's Nook Designs.

Newton's Nook Designs is generously providing $25 gift code to our randomly chosen winner.

Thank you for sponsoring this challenge!

  This week we are challenge you to make a card/project 
featuring Fall.

Newton's Nook Designs has so many autumn-themed stamps and stencils!  For my card, I decided to create a coffee-themed card using the Pumpkin Latte stamp set.  I started with a kraft card base. I pulled out ivory card stock and die cut it with the Frames Squared die set. Using orange, olive green, brown, and gray, I randomly stamped the small images from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set. I added an orange flag using the Frames & Flags die set. I cut off one end of the banner then added a little jute. I stamped the sentiment in the dark gray and added the pumpkin and latte images.  For my main attraction, I colored the latte lady in the same color scheme and popped her up with foam tape.

Now it's your turn to make a fall-themed card and link it up at Cupcake Inspirations Challenge!

FYI--Inky Paws Challenge is having a Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas challenge. I bet you could create a card using the  CIC's fall theme with IPC's Thanksgiving theme!  Double your changes of winning a NND store credit!  Yay!

Here's my inspiration!

I went a bit crazy and used 7 different NND products!  I just love the way you can mix and match elements of the stamp sets and how versatile the dies are!  For my card, I started with a DCWV paper stack that has this fun foiled polka-dotted paper!  I added a layer of clouds using the Sky Borders die set. I love scalloped edges on my cards, so I used the Frames & Flags die set. I created a sliding element, so the owl from the Love Owl-Ways stamp set can fall from the clouds. This particular owl is holding a heart balloon, but I did some fussy cutting and removed the balloon. I added the froggy umbrella from the Umbrella Pals stamp set.  (Reminds me of Mary Poppins!). I then added the kitten image from the Sending Hugs stamp and die set who is also holding a froggy umbrella.  Using the banner die from the Frames & Flags and scalloped the edges.  The sentiment I select is from the Newton's Rainy Day stamp set.  Since spring showers bring beautiful flowers, I added the potted flowers from the Wagon of Wishes stamp set and slipped them slightly behind the banner.  It was such a fun card to make!
I so hope you will pull out at least one NND stamp set and join us for this super fun challenge--THINK SPRING!   Can't wait to see what you create!
Hugs,
Debbie

Here'a a refresher.  It's a THEME Challenge: Birthday!

Here's my inspiration:

My card features Newton's Birthday Balloons stamp set, Birthday Essentials stamp set, and Frames & Flags die set.  I thought it would be fun to have Newton fly high above all the little houses on the background paper!  I added a bit of bling by paper piecing a balloon from glitter paper and adding a couple of sequins.
