Newton’s Nook – September Release Day 2

Today we’re continuing with the spooky Halloween theme but we have just one stamp and die set to share. It’s really fun and going to be versatile for both bookmarks, tags and little scenes.

Spooky Stories stamps and dies

I created a couple of bookmarks to share today but am really itching to also create some mini scenes using these fun images really soon!

I used the new Bookmark II dies for both of these bookmarks. Starting soft and pastel with the ghosts and going to a dark night sky for the cool bats!

I stamped the sentiment and images with gray ink so it wasn’t harsh and used the book stack dies from the Bookmark II set. I added the ghosts like they’re coming out of the spooky stories, keeping everything flat since it’s a bookmark.

For this second one, I started with a dark blue background, heat embossing the sentiment at the bottom. Then I stamped and die cut the bat image from Spooky Stories. I colored the moon with some yellow markers and used a blending brush to add dark blue to the rest.

I stamped and colored the witchy Newton from Newton’s Boo-tiful Night, cutting it out with the coordinating die. I didn’t like the white edge so I colored it with a dark blue marker so it blended in better.

Not thinking about my bookmark rule, I did pop all of these images up with foam squares. Oops, you know how much I like my dimension. Haha!
