Newton’s Nook – September Release Day 2

We’re back for day 2 of release reveals on the Newton’s Nook September Release! More fall fun to share with you today. Let’s take a look.

Autumn Postage Sampler stamps and dies and Halloween Postage stamps and dies

Today I have a card featuring each stamp set to share with you. One using the postage vibe and one showing how you don’t have to use them that way at all!

My first card features the Halloween Postage Sampler stamps and the coordinating Postage Stamp Layout die together.

For this card, I inked up the postage stamp centers with distress oxide inks and then stamped images from Halloween Postage Sampler on each one. I used a little washi tape on the back of each to hold the center into the frame and then liquid glue to adhere them together how I wanted. After that was dry, I added foam tape and set them aside.

I cut a gray panel with the largest Framework die and inked it with the Ghosts stencil using white pigment ink. I inked up the edge of my card base with that tried and true direct to paper technique using orange ink. Then I popped gray panel up with foam tape and added the stamps on that. I thought things were a little lacking so I went back and added ghosts, the postmark and a little spider on my baker’s twine.

To finish things off I added some stardust Stickles to the ghosts and spider.

Now, for my Autumn Postage Sampler card, I chose an assortment of my favorite images to stamp, color and die cut. Then I trimmed a kraft panel down to 3.75×5 inches and ink blended it from the top fading out. I spritzed it with water and blotted it dry before stamping sentiments from the stamp set across the panel.

Once that was done, I added my images with foam squares and popped the whole panel up on a white card base with foam tape. For finishing touches on this card I added stardust Stickles and glossy accents on the images with a scattering of enamel dots across the design.
