NND--Trick or Treat

I wanted to slip in a Halloween card before going off to do school work. This card was inspired by Candy Corn with a splash of white-distressed black.  I created the postage-stamped frame using the Framework die by Newton's Nook Designs.  I used tape to mask, so I could create the orange and the yellow stripes using Distress Ink.  I added the distressed flag using the Frames & Flags die set. I simply cut off one end. For my tag, I used NND's Fancy Edges die set. I used my Perfect Layers tool to create a black edge for my tag which I distressed with white ink to give it a smokey look. I stamped the bunny image from the Hoppy Halloween stamp set. I masked the image and distressed the background using yellows and oranges. To finish my card, I added some orange stars and twine.  (I was going to take another photo of this card, but my hubby liked it so much that he had already "stolen" and sent it out!)

IPC#4 Sketch

I won my first Newton's Nook Designs stamp set way  back on October 18, 2013, and I've been a Newton junkie since then!  So to pick from the 99 different challenges, I was a bit overwhelmed.  Therefore, I decided to use the sketch (IPC#4) that started my NND adventure. For my card, I created a little river flowing between the seashore using the Land Border and Sea Borders die sets. To create the seashore, I used distress ink and matte texture paste with the Seashell stencil. I adhered the layers before cutting with the rounded-edge die from the Framework die set. I stamped and colored the goat from the Floaty Goat stamp set and added glossy accents to make the tube look inflated.  I used the 'relax' sentiment from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set.

Here's my 1st IPC entry using the above sketch!

I used Newton's Holiday Mischief, which was my very first NND stamp set that I had won from a NND blog hop!  Since that fateful day, my NND collection has grown a lot--not only are there amazingly cute stamp, but the stencils and dies are just amazing!  

Now it's your turn to make our 100th challenge extra fabulous!

or other craft project. 

This week is a Theme challenge.  

We want to see a card that features a Pop UP element.  

Here is my inspiration!

I didn't quite make a pop-up card, but I did make an interactive card with this sweet pig from the Pool Piggies stamp set.  Those fun waves were made using the Waves stencil from Newton's Nook Designs. I also used a die cut (source unknown) for the sliding element. The fun scallop-edged base was cut from Newton's Nook Designs' Framework die set. 

Hope you will join us at Cupcake Inspirations!
Hugs, 
Debbie
