Newton’s Nook – September Release Day 3

Today is the last day of Newton’s Nook September Release reveals and it’s as cute as ever! I can’t stop coloring these images, they’re so sweet!

Autumn Fields stamps and dies and Pumpkin Tails stamps and dies

I’ve got another couple of cards to share with you today featuring both stamp sets but also a take on how to use the new Card Layout 5 die we revealed on Tuesday!

Given that both stamp sets are more fall vibe, it was easy to cut the Card Layout 5 die from a perfect green cardstock and use both elements on my cards.

I started with the frame on a kraft panel ink blended with the Falling Leaves stencil and splattered with gold watercolor. The pups from Pumpkin Tails fit perfectly as a focal point in the middle of the layout design.

Then I stamped my sentiment on a banner from Frames & Flags and popped it up with foam tape as well. I finished this design off with bits of glossy accents on the poppy noses and collar tag.

For the layout on this card, I drug my brown ink pad across a white cardstock panel for textured inking. Then I splattered the panels from the Card Layout 5 die with gold watercolor and let them dry while I colored my images from Autumn Fields.

With the panels dry, I added foam tape to the back of each one and placed them back in my die for alignment. I centered that on a grid mat and carefully pressed my inked panel into the panels that were sitting in my die. They picked up perfectly and I instantly had my background.

Next I added the sunflower image with liquid glue and popped everything else up. Then I stamped and heat embossed another sentiment on a smaller banner from Frames & Flags and popped it up on the upper right side of the design.

I finished this card off with some glossy accents on various parts of the images as well.
