As we wind down an awesome reveal week, I hope you’re ready to shop! But first, let’s take a look at one more fun stamp and die set being added to the collection tomorrow.

Fabulous Fungus stamps and dies

These super fun mushrooms and even funnier sentiments are sure to give you a giggle. I certainly did! When I saw all of them I knew they needed a gnome to hang in the garden with them.

I chose the sweet image from Gnome Garden with the little guy sitting on a mushroom plus a bundle of different images from the new Fabulous Fungus set and colored everything with my copic markers. I used coordinating dies from both sets to cut everything out.

I die cut a white panel using the largest Frames & Flags die and combined it with the hills & grass stencil to give my panel some scenery. Using my images as a guide, I stamped a sentiment from Fabulous Fungus in the sky. Then I grabbed a cloud stamp from Newton’s Birthday Balloons and stamped some of those to fill the sky subtly.

I adhered the images with a combination of foam squares and liquid glue. Then I popped the scene panel up on a piece of flower patterned paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad. I adhered the whole thing to a white card base and added glossy accents around various parts of images for finishing touches.

Welcome back friends! For day 3 of the Newton’s Nook March release reveals we’re adding another gorgeous set to the oval card front series. I love these and always enjoy settling in to color them.

Spring Blooms Oval stamps (coordinates with Oval Frames dies)

For my card today, I stamped the image on watercolor paper in brown ink and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to watercolor everything.

A small tip I find easier when using these dies with the oval or circle card front series, I cut the scalloped shape out and then stamp on that. Otherwise, I tend to stamp too close to the edge of my paper to allow for die cutting after.

To continue with the watercolor vibe, I inked up the new Quatrefoil stencil with dusty concord distress oxide ink and spritzed it with water. After blotting it dry I flicked watered down antique linen distress oxide ink on the panel for extra distressing.

I adhered the background panel to a card base and popped the image oval up with foam tape. Then I cut another, smaller oval in the same die set and stamped my sentiment on that. I watercolored a light blue edge before popping it up with foam squares as well.

Let’s keep things going with a fabulous day 2 of reveals for the Newton’s Nook March release! Today we have two stamp and die sets that are adorable together or on their own.

Newton’s Umbrella stamps and dies

Rainy Day Doxie stamps and dies

Like I said above, I think these images are really adorable and my first thought was that they would be too cute on a card together. So that’s what I did!

I stamped and colored both main images, plus the puddle and raindrops, and colored it all with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut it all out.

Next, I cut a slimline panel to ink up for my background. Today I chose tumbled glass and salvaged patina distress oxide inks. I spritzed the background with water and blotted it dry before flicking pearl watercolor all over the panel.

While that was drying, I cut a 3.5×8.5 strip of yellow cardstock to adhere to my slimline card base. Then, I stamped my sentiment on the background panel and popped it up on the card base with foam tape.

I added the puddle with liquid glue and popped all the other images up with foam squares. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all things water, plus critter noses and toe beans, and parts of the umbrellas.

I can’t believe it’s already the final day of release reveals for the Newton’ Nook January Release! I hope you have loved everything as much as we do and are excited for today’s inspiration and tomorrow’s fantastic shopping day!

Never Enough Cats stamps and dies

Just like Monday and Tuesday, yesterday and today have a little theme. Catering to the dog and cat lovers alike.

I softened things up today and created a slimline scene with this pile of adorable kitties! Also, before I started coloring this image, I went back and forth deciding to color all the same kind of kitty or different ones. Ultimately, I went with different because in all my years we have never had two cats that looked the same. So why start now?!?

I inked the sky with the Petite Clouds stencil and added die cuts from the Sky Scene Builder die set, along with my stamped sentiment. The hearts from the set are glued directly to the card front while the others are popped up.

Then I used the grass stencil to add my ground in a couple of layers before popping the image and that cute speech bubble up with foam tape. This just makes me smile!

Moving on to finishing touches today, I added stardust Stickles to the sun and clouds in the sky and glossy accents to all the hearts, kitty noses and toe beans.

Okay, it’s day 3 of the Newton’s Nook January Release reveals and we’re switching gears. It’s SOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!

Never Enough Dogs stamps and dies

Is this not the sweetest image ever!?! I just adore it and completely relate on a ridiculous level! Trust me, if there are animals at a place, that’s where I’ll be. You all can have the people. I love critters!

I went a little bold and dark for today’s card but it would be so easy to lighten things up changing the color palette. I also let myself have fun and creative license when coloring all these cute pups! I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and then went back to add a couple extra hearts to go with the fun little speech bubble too.

My background is started with distress oxide sprays in wilted violet and mermaid lagoon. I got these for Christmas and have been enjoying playing around with them. Once the panel was dry, I layered the Woofs stencil over top and blended a little black ink fading from the top left to lower right.

I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25 inches and popped it up on a black panel before adhering them to a card base. I die cut a rounded banner from the Banner Trio set and heat embossed a sentiment on it. Then I added everything with foam squares.

For finishing touches today, I started with black glaze pen on all puppy eyes. Then glossy accents on all puppy noses and hearts. I also added that to the dots on the scarf and both medallions on the collars. Once the glaze pen was dry, I added the white highlight back to the two dogs that have them in the original stamped image.

Welcome back everyone! We’re moving along today to another sweet heart stamp set with coordinating dies.

Newton’s Heart stamps and dies

I had fun using patterned paper for by background yesterday so for today’s card I made a huge, wonderful crafty mess! It was glorious and made my heart happy. I hope you enjoy it too!

I started with teal cardstock and inked it up using the Bokeh Hearts stencil – first with wilted violet distress oxide ink. I made sure I had a good layer so these hearts really popped. Then for the second layer I added bubblegum glitz glitter gel from Thermoweb. After the panel was completely dry I spritzed and flicked water everywhere and let that dry. I was too clean still so then I came back with white paint and now I’m in love!

I stamped and colored Newton with copic markers, keeping him light and simple to pop against all the color in the background. I tried my best to match markers with the teal cardstock for my heart – BG13, BG32 and BG11 did the job pretty well.

I used the coordinating die to cut Newton out. Then I die cut my background panel with the second largest Frames Squared die and also cut a purple circle from the same set to go behind Newton.

To assemble my card, I wrapped twine around the square and tied it in a bow on the right side. Then I carefully added foam tape to the back, avoiding the twine and popped the panel up on a white card base. Then I did the same think with the purple circle and finally added Newton on top!

For finishing touches I simply added glossy accents to Newton’s nose and toe beans. I love all that texture and sparkle! It’s so fun!

Hello everyone! I’m stopping by today to share a really fun take on the mini slimline size. It’s a Z-fold card which gives lots of room to write a message and also a great way to be able to stand the card up for display after the recipient opens it. I feel like Christmas cards are the top occasion people do this with so I pulled out some fun Christmas Newton’s Nook goodies and started crafting.

Here’s what the card looks like when it’s all folded up, coming out of the envelope. Isn’t that Reindeer Roll Call stamp just super fun!?! I love it! And found out that it fits perfectly on the new Bookmark dies! BONUS! After I stamped and die cut the bookmark into a shorter tag, I colored the holly and inked up the edges with brown ink and a blending brush. I threaded some ribbon through the slot and tied a bow to secure it.

Next, I switched gears to creating the card base. I cut a piece of kraft cardstock to 6×9 inches and scored it at 3 and 6 inches. Then you just alternate your fold directions to create the main card base. Next, I measured 2 inches up from the base on the left side and positioned it in my paper trimmer to cut that angle off from the 2 inch mark to the top of the second fold line. This gives you a peek into the different levels.

I chose a piece of patterned paper matching the images in Reindeer Roll Call from the new Christmas Time paper pad and trimmed it down to fit each of the panels on my card. At the end I was left with a 1/2 inch strip that I adhered to the inside most panel for a little decoration. Then I stamped Merry Christmas from the Holiday Heights stamp set in black and a reindeer from Reindeer Roll Call in brown under it for extra fun.

For finishing touches, I glued 3 red pearls on the holly and added glossy accents to the holly leaf. Isn’t this card so fun!?! You could easily step this up or down depending on your likes and how many you’re making.

Products used today:
Reindeer Roll Call stamps
Holiday Heights stamps
Bookmark dies
Christmas Time paper pad
Bearly Art liquid glue
Pretty Pink Posh red pearls
Glossy accents

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Sad but exciting…today is the final day of reveals for the Newton’s Nook October Release! I hope you have loved it all, have your shopping list ready and are going to create amazing things with all of these new goodies!

Today we cap the week with another addition to the Oval card front series and I love it! It’s perfect for Christmas and winter which makes it twice as good!

Snowflake Oval stamps (coordinates with Oval Frames dies)

I couldn’t resist creating a fun shaker card with this beautiful image! Keeping things simple with some ink blending and heat embossing.

To start, I die cut the scalloped oval from heat resistant acetate and heat embossed the Snowflake Oval image in white. Then I used a sentiment from the set and heat embossed it in black for contrast.

Then I inked blended two panels in similar ways with blueprint sketch and tumbled glass distress oxide inks. I cut the same oval from both but then used the next size down to cut the center from one.

Because I was using flat glitter for this shaker, I just adhered all the layers together with liquid glue and placed acrylic blocks on top for a bit while they dried.

For my background, I used the Snowfall stencil with the same distress oxide inks and glued the panel to a white card base. When the shaker was dry, I adhered it with foam tape and wrapped some silver cord from my stash around the top.

Alright friends, we’re over the hump and on to day 3 of release reveals for the October Newton’s Nook release! There are two more amazing stamp and dies sets to reveal and super fun projects to share!

Newton’s Gift stamps and dies

Christmas Nap stamps and dies

These sets are super sweet! Great for the holidays but also, Newton’s Gift is great for all occasions!

I couldn’t resist creating a fun winter themed birthday card with Newton’s Gift right away. It’s so sweet and great in any color combo you want to try it in.

I stamped and colored the image using that great snowflake paper from the new paper pad as a guide. To reduce the risk of smearing, I stamped on the gift tag after I was done coloring. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

Next, I die cut a scalloped circle from Circle Frames and heat embossed Birthday Roundabout in white. I die cut a banner from Banner Trio and stamped a sentiment from the same birthday set on it. I used copics to give it some shading to coordinate with the gift tag.

Next, I ink blended scattered straw distress oxide on an A2 panel and splattered it with water, then I popped up the patterned paper with foam tape. I added foam squares to the banner and image and adhered them to the vellum circle. I used these places to hide adhesive to adhere the vellum to the card front.

For finishing touches, I added white clay snowflakes from Twiddler’s Nook Happy Feet embellishment mix around the design, glossy accents to Newton’s nose and stardust Stickles to the gift ribbon.

For my Christmas Nap card, I stamped and colored the image in some warm colors fit for winter. I used the coordinating die to cut it out and set it aside. This die set also has the word dies Peace & Joy in it so I cut them from white cardstock 4 times and adhered them together with liquid glue.

For my background, I inked up a panel with scattered straw and evergreen bough distress oxide, fading to nothing. Then I layered the Christmas Foliage stencil over top and inked through that with blending brushes and dye inks from my stash. I die cut the panel with the largest Framework die and popped it up on a black A2 size panel. I adhered that to a white card base and added the image and sentiment next.

For finishing touches I used a silver Wink of Stella glitter brush pen on the sentiment, which I LOVE! Then glossy accents on the ornaments and critter noses. Last I added stardust Stickles to the gift bow and star on the tree.
