Spooky Coffees Stamp and Die Set, Halloween Time Paper Pad, A7 Frames and Banners Die Set, Card Layout 6 Die, Corner Flip Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnook #nnd #inkypawschallenge #inkypaws #handmade

To start this card I picked out the paper I wanted to use for the background from the Halloween Time Paper Pad and cut it using the Card Layout 6 Die.  I used the same die again to cut the frame using a piece of purple cardstock. I then used the Corner Flip Die Set to create the creases in the paper and flip the corners back to show the design on the back side of the paper.

Next, I stamped out these adorable Halloween themed cups from the Spooky Coffees Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers and cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I then used one of the decorative rectangle dies from the A7 Frames and Banners Die Set to cut a piece of purple cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Spooky Coffees Stamp Set, and white heat embossed.

I assembled my card using black cardstock for the base, and popped up the images and sentiment with foam tape for some dimension!
