Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 1 – Spring Haul + coordinating Dies, Spring Garden Line Stencil, Quatrefoil Stencil, Spring Blooms Paper Pad

Happy Monday! It’s time for the March reveal week over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Spring Haul stamp set along with the Spring Garden Line and Quatrefoil Stencil, Spring Blooms Paper Pad.

The Haul collection or as I like to call it, the Little Blue Truck collection is getting a new addition this release with the Spring Haul stamp set and its coordinating die! I used it to create this fun spring card inspired by the tulip fields in Washington!

To create this card, I started by stamping the large image from the Spring Haul stamp set along with some of the smaller images. I colored them using copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

Next I created the scene on the background using a combination of pattern paper from the Springtime Paper Pad (cloud background) and the new Spring Blooms Paper Pad (tulips), and lastly a grass die cut inked up with green ink and stamped the sentiment from the Spring Haul stamp set.

I finished off the card by the colored truck image, and scattering the smaller images around similar to embellishments. Thanks for making it this far into the post!

Birthday Ice Cream | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday y’all! Look who is back on the blog! I have no idea where my crafting mojo is these days, I guess I have just been living in the real world! Here’s to hoping that March is craftier as I have a bunch of new products starting at me! Today I used a stamp set that I recently got the dies for and decide to create a summer themed card in hopes of manifesting warmer temperatures here in the NW!

To create this card, I started by stamping all but one of the images from the Summer Scoops Stamp Set with black ink on to copic friendly white card stock. I colored them using the copic shown below, and die cut them using the coordinating Summer Scoops Die Set.

To finish off the card, I embossed the card front using the Petite Hearts Stencil, to add some dimension but not much color as I wanted the die cut images to pop. I die cut a banner from colored cardstock using a banner from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I embossed a sentiment on to it using the white embossing powder, from the same stamp set.

I added all the die cut images, along with the sentiment banner, and finished off with some rainbow sequins.

Espresso Your Love | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Monday Crafty Friends! I hope that y’all have a great start to the week! I have big hopes for this week, so let’s see if I actually get though my to do list and get a chance to craft! SO many things have piled up as I have been trying to get a NOT broken piece of furniture! We finally decided to return it and order one online! Here’s to hoping the new one is in ONE piece!

Okay, enough life updates, let’s get to today’s card! I’m not super into Valentines, BUT I am into coffee, so I used this an opportunity to use my valentines coffee stamp to make a card!

To create this card, I started by inking up an A2 piece of card stock using the Petite Hearts Stencil and some light pink ink, I tried to do a bit of an ombre ink blending. Next I stamped the pair of mugs from the Love Café Stamp Set and colored it, and die cut it using the coordinating Love Café Die Set.

Next I die cut a scalloped heart using the Heart Frames Die Set from a sheet of pattern paper from the Love & Chocolate Paper Pad. I also die cut a banner from a scrap piece from the same paper pad using the Banner Trio Die Set, along with one from pink card stock.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from Love Café Stamp Set on to the pink banner, and the large image from the Heartfelt Love Stamp Set on to vellum. After heat setting I die cut the vellum using a stitched heart from the Heart Frames Die Set.

I finally I layered all the pieces together using a combination of glue and foam tape, and of course some sequins!

Newton’s Nook Designs – DAY 4 – Never Enough Cats + coordinating Dies

Happy Thursday! It’s the last day of reveal week over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Never enough Cats stamp set along with the coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired!

Sharing a card today using my new favorite technique, partial die cutting! To create this card, I started by stamping the large image from the Never Enough Cats stamp set onto the center of an A2 card front. Use a heavier card stock to avoid color bleeding though. I colored my image using shades of brown – grey paints, but you can use what ever coloring medium you are comfortable with.

Once the paint dried, I used the coordinating die to cut only half of the image, by covering only half the die in my sandwich for the die cutting machine. Next I a paper trimmer to cut off the excess paper to allow the cut out shape to show clearly.

Lastly, I finished off the card by adding a strip of pattern paper behind the image to allow it pop a bit more, and stamped a sentiment with black ink on to it.

Newton’s Nook Designs – DAY 3 – Never Enough Dogs + coordinating Dies

Happy Wednesday! It’s the first reveal week of 2023 over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Never enough Dogs stamp set along with the coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired!

Y’all I finally made a card for this release! I started to create this card by stamping the large image from the Never Ending Dogs stamp set. I colored it in using a large selection of grey and brown copic markers, I tried to alternate the colors so that all the dogs don’t just blend into one big blob! After I was done coloring I die cut it using the coordinating die.

I was struggling with a layout, and then came across the current Inky Paws Challenge and used their sketch as inspiration. I trimmed down one sheet of pattern paper from the Love & Woofs paper pad and added it to the A2 sized white card front. next I cut a banner from pattern paper using a banner die cut from the Frames & Flags Die Set and one from coordinating plain card stock. I stamped and embossed a sentiment on to the second banner, and added both of them to the card front and finally added the colored image using some foam tape.

Newton’s Nook Designs – DAY 1 – Puppy Heart + coordinating Dies, Love & Woofs Paper Pad and Love & Chocolate Paper Pad

Happy Monday! It’s the first reveal week of 2023 over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Puppy Heart stamp set along with the coordinating Dies, and a new paper pads, Love & Woofs and Love & Chocolate. Here’s how I was inspired!

I started by stamping the image from the Puppy Heart stamp set onto white cardstock and coloring it with copic markers, and die cutting it using the coordinating die. Lastly, I stamped a sentiment into the heart.

Instead of creating another card, I decided to instead make a book mark using the Bookmark Die Set and a sheet of pattern paper from the new Love & Chocolate paper pad. I also used the paw die cut from the Bookmark Die Set and cut a few from coordinating plain cardstock to add to the background.

Finally, I finished off the bookmark by adding a ribbon and the colored image to the bookmark.

Little Blue Truck’s Christmas | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Monday! I can’t believe it’s winter break already! I clearly got nothing done as it’s been one thing after the next, and being sick on top of it all, its been a LONG winter, I am sooo ready to get past this chapter of life LOL.

Being sick means staying home as lot, resulting in reading A LOT! I might come on here sometime to share my 2022 reads, I have big plans to finish 3 books in the next 2 weeks to meet my year goal, let’s see how that goes! But what I have been reading a lot of it the little blue truck and his adventures! My little one loves anything that moves, so this card is inspired by his antics!

To create this card, I started by stamping and coloring the image of the truck from the Holiday Haul Stamp Set. As I mentioned my coloring was inspired by the “Little Blue Truck”, once I was done coloring, I die cut it using the coordinating Holiday Haul Die Set. The copic colors I used are shown below.

I created the background of the card, with multiple layers of ink blenidng and stenciling! For the first later, I used shades of grey-blue to create a winter evening sky, next I ink blended the line of trees using the Christmas Tree Line Stencil, along with 2 shades of green ink and brown for the stumps. My last layer was done using the Petite Snow Stencil, and texture paste.

Only after the white texture paste dried, did I notice that I hadn’t stamped a sentiment nor left space for one! So I quickly cut a hill from some scrap paper, inked it up lightly with some grey ink, and stamped a sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays Stamp Set. Once the texture paste dried, I finished off the card by adding the sentiment strip and the colored image of the truck.

Warm Wintery Birthday Wishes

Happy Tuesday! Hope that y’all are having a great start to the week! It’s a busy week here in real life as its the last week of school, so trying to get as much done in my kid free time!

I’m up on the Newton’s Nook Blog today sharing a birthday card inspired by the cold weather we have had recently!

To create this card, I started by playing around with the coffee mug images from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set, lining them up along the longer side of an A2 card. Since was going to do partial die cutting, I needed space them well to be able to die cut with space in-between. Once stamped I colored them using copic markers, shown below.

After coloring, I used the coordinating dies to partially die cut all of the images, and then trimmed off the rest of the paper using a craft knife. Next I stamped a sentiment from the Time For Coffee Stamp Set on the front of the card.

As this was a partial die cut card, you can see to into the card, so I decided to add some pattern paper from the Canine Christmas Paper Pad along with stamping a coordinating sentiment inside the card, from the same Time For Coffee Stamp Set.

For today’s hop I created this fun see though card using acetate! This card actually ended up the way I imagined in my head!

To create it, I started by stenciling the Snowfall Stencil with texture paste on to a sheet of acetate, once it dried a trimmed it down to an A2 card front.

 While the stenciled acetate was drying, I colored from the Newton’s Gift using copic marker, and die cut it using the coordinating die. I also embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set in white embossing powder. Next I die cut two stitched ovals using the Oval Frames Die Set from the Canine Christmas Paper Pad.

 To finish the card, I trimmed down a sheet of light blue paper to an A2 size, and scored it 1/4 of an inch on the long edge and used double sided tape the acetate sheet to create the card front. I added the ovals die cuts to the acetate sheet, and then the colored die cut image. Lastly I finished the card off by stamping a sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays.
