Newton's Nook Designs - A Purr-fectly Spooky Halloween Card

Hello everyone!

It’s Donna Idlet here sharing this cute Halloween card.  I had so much fun creating it using the adorable kitty from the NEW Cat Builder Die Set dressing him up for Halloween! I love how all the little details came together to create this fun and festive spooky scene.

I used the Cat Builder Die Set to create the cat.  I added a witch hat from the Halloween Postage Sampler.  I added the sparkly pink collar and tag using the Cheerful Bright Glitter Cardstock.  

To give the kitty even morepersonality, I added a piece of candy corn from the Candy Corn Newton Stamp Set, he cannot wait to eat it!

For the background, I the patterned paper is from the Halloween Time Paper Pad. The bright green paper covered in black bats makes the perfect frame for the darker Halloween scene.

I created the spooky sky using the NND Clouds Stencil. Then I added the moon and stars from the Spooky Sky Die Set. The black fence was created using the NND Fence Die, which helped ground the scene and gives the kitty a fun place to sit.

To finish the scene, I added pumpkins from the Fall Friends Die Set and some flying bats from the Halloween Postage Sampler. The “Happy Halloween” sentiment also comes from the Halloween Postage Sampler.

One of my favorite parts of this card is all the dimension! I used foam tape to pop up the cat, giving it a fun 3D effect and making it really stand out from the background. I took the second photo from an angle so you can see just how much dimension the card has.

I love how this little Halloween kitty turned out. Between the bright batty background, spooky moonlit sky, pumpkins, bats, and that adorable witchy cat, this card is full of Halloween fun!
