For the first day of the reveals, we are showcasing the following products:



For my first project, here’s how I made the card:
- stamp the images on smooth white card stock and die-cut using the coordinating dies.
- stamp the balloon from the Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and die-cut with the coordinating die.
- Ink up an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock with distress oxide inks.
- die-cut the grass with green patterned paper using the grass die from the Land Border Die set by Newton’s Nook.
- Die-cut the “HAPPY” with some white card stock using the Essential Alphabets die set. Color the pieces using Copic markers.
- stamp the “It’s Your Day” sentiment on the grass from the Birthday essentials stamp set.
- assemble the card.
To finish my design, I put glossy accents on the birthday balloon and added a heart enamel on the cat with Nuvo liquid adhesive. Here’s a closer look:
I really LOVE the Newton’s Birthday Trio die! It cuts all the inside pieces between the cats and the speech bubbles. Here’s another look:
For my second project, I used the Paw-some birthday stamp set and coordinating dies, with the Essential Alphabet die-set.
Here’s how I made this card:
- stamp and color the image from the Paw-some Birthday stamp set with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
- die-cut the image using the Paw-some Birthday die.
- die-cut the “BIRTHDAY” letters using the Essential Alphabet die set.
- cut some strips from patterned paper.
- assemble the card.
Here’s a closer look:
I LOVE that Newton’s Nook Designs make their dies to cut the spaces between the images. This one cuts out the spaces between the dog and the presents. I also LOVE that the dies are pretty inexpensive. I think this is another must-have!
