Today's card features a very chubby Newton from the Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set. I colored him with Copic markers. (Poor guy!  It looks like he is about to pop!) I placed him and another slice of pie on a tag that was die cut using the Tags Essential die set and paper from the Autumn Woofs paper pad.  For my back panel, I used paper from the  Autumn paper pad and used the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die sets. I add a bit of ribbon and twine from my stash of ribbons. Anyone else ready for some pumpkin pie?

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

Debbie's autumn card features Autumn, Autumn Meows, Fancy Edges Tags, Pumpkin Tails, Autumn Fields, and Framework  by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #handmadecards, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #stamping, #newtonsnookdesigns, #nndstamps, #autumncards, #fallcards

I finally had time to play with one of the newly released Autumn products-the Autumn Fields stamp set. This little scarecrow is just so cute!  I then select papers from the Autumn and the Autumn Meows paper pads. I love the colors on the pumpkin paper, so I decided to color the scarecrow in the same palette.  The little bit of teal with the oranges--love it!  I cut the pumpkin paper with the postage-edge die from the Framework die set. For my tag, I cut the hounds tooth paper using the Fancy Edges die set. I assembled the card then added the stitched circle (Circle Frames die set) which I had stamped the sentiment from the Pumpkin Tails set.  I love all the textures in this pretty autumn card!

Don't you love when a card turns out cuter than you imagined! This is one of those! I started by subtly adding pink snowflakes using the Snowflake stencil. I don't use stencils nearly enough! Then I stamped the feline image from the Newton's Christmas Tree stamp set. I used my Scan'n'Cut to cut it out, but there's a coordinating die option available. I then used Copic markers to color the image in the challenge colors. . I heat embossed the sentiment from the Snowflake Oval. At last, I added 3D tape to give dimension to the tree image.

Debbie's googly-eyes card features Frames & Tags, Banner Trio, Basic Frames, Jar Hot Foil, Birthday Postage Sampler, Spooky Roundabout, and Halloween Time  by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaws, #newtonsnook, #cardmaking, #cardmakingideas, #cardchallenges, #halloweencards, #googlyeyes, #spooky

I created this fun card using googly eyes!  When I spied the "eyes" paper from the Halloween Time paper pad, I got the idea to make a card using googly eyes. I die cut the paper using the zig-zag die from the Frames & Tags die set. I adhered the paper to a dark lavender card base. I then used the Jar Hot Foil Plate & Die with a fuschia foil. I used a die from the Basic Frames die set to create the open center. I continued to make my shaker card by filling it with some different sized eyes. I cut a tag using the  Frames & Tags die set. I did trim it down once I added the "price" using a stamp from the Birthday Postage Sampler stamp set. I adhered the tag using some twine. At last, I made the banner using the Banner Trio die set with a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set. I love how this turned out!

I'm still in a fall mood, but I promise that next week I'll create a Halloween card for you!  
This week I'm showing a cute card using some scraps from the Autumn Meows and the  Autumn paper pads. I pulled 6 different patterns and cut them into small strips that I adhered to a piece of card stock. I then used a die from the Basic Frames die set to get the stiching and rounded corners. The using a different die from the same die set, I cut the Kraft panel. I used dimensional tape to add the smaller panel. I then stamped, colored, and cut the little puppy image from the Fall Harvest stamp set. I used my Scan'n'Cut, but a coordinating die set is available. I then stamped the sentiment from the Leaf Splendor stamp set using my Misti tool. At last, I cut the leaf paper strip and adhered to my dark brown cardbase and added the smaller panel.  I love all the different patterns and autumn colors on this card, and it was a great way to use up some smaller scraps. 

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

I had a bit of creative block this week, so I decided to use a sketch to help me through it.  This darling card is the result. I cut brown cardstock down to 5 1/4 x 4 inches and attached to a Kraft card base. I then used the measurements of the sketch (see below) and cut the different elements using papers from the Autumn Meows. After arranging those pieces, I stamp and colored using Copic markers the cute image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set. I used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut my image, but a coordinating die is available too. I stamped my sentiment from the  Fall Roundabout stamp set and cut it into a rectangle.  I then created the polka dotted banner using papers from the Autumns Woofs paper pads with a die from the  Banner Trio die set.

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

I am loving the Layout dies from Newton's Nook. They make designing cards a bit easier, yet still allow for creativity! I used the  Card Layout 3 die with the pumpkin paper from the Autumn paper pad. I stamped the kitty image from the  Fall Harvest stamp set and colored with copic markers. I used my Scan'n'Cut to cut out the image, but there are coordinating dies. I added more pumpkins using an image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set.  At last, I used a brown panel from the Card Layout 3 die for my embossed sentiment. At last, I have a pumpkin patch card!

Debbie's Halloween card features Cheerful Brights, Haunted House, Trick-or-Treat Newton, Trick-or-Treat Puppy, Halloween Party, and Card Layout 4 by Newton's Nook Designs; #inkypaw, #newtonsnook, #cardmakingideas, #cardmaking, #cardchallenge, #halloweencards, #puppycards, #catcards

Using the Card Layout 4 die is a super easy way to create a scene card, especially using pattern papers. My card is showcasing papers from the Halloween Party paper pad with yellow glitter paper from the  Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock stack. I layered on a little haunted house using the Haunted House die. Of course, a haunted house needs some guest, so I added the little vampire and ghost using images from the Trick or Treat Newton and the Trick or Treat Puppy stamp sets. The good news is I have more pieces to mix and match for more fun, festive Halloween cards!  (Hopefully, I can get those whipped up soon!)
Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the August sketch!
