Hello Newton’s Nook fans! I’m back today to share with you this cute “cheesy” Christmas card, showcasing the Naughty & Mice stamp set and coordinating dies, along with the Banner Trio die set, Pines & Holly die set and Circle Frames die set.
To make my card, I die-cut an A2 size panel of some yellow card stock and used one of the circle die from the Circle Frames die set to die-cut a few holes. I wanted this piece to look like “cheese”. I inked up this panel with some Fossilized Amber distress oxide ink to create some shadows for added texture. I foam-mounted this piece on an A-2 size card base for added dimension and my scissors to cut-off the excess.
Next, I stamped the mice on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in my alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I die-cut the pine boughs using the Pines & Holly die set and adhered on the card with liquid glue.
I added the mice with foam adhesive and finished my design by adding the sentiment strip that was die-cut using the Banner Trio die set. Easy Peasy! Here’s another look:
I hope you like my card today. The supplies I use are listed and linked below. Thanks so much for stopping by! Have an amazing day!

For my Christmas card today, I am showcasing one of my favorite stamp set and coordinating dies by Newton’s Nook called Naughty or Mice, along with the Banner Trio die set, Slimline Frames & Portholes and the Slimline Frames & Windows die set.
I started by stamping my images on some Neenah solar white card stock with Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I colored the images in with my alcohol markers and die-cut them out using the coordinating dies.
I used both slimline dies mentioned above and die-cut them with different colors of card stock and patterned paper. I cut some Neenah 110 lb. card stock measuring 8 1/2 by 7, and folded in half as my slimline card base. I adhered the red scallop first, then foam-mounted the white frame for added dimension.
I adhered the patterned paper with some liquid glue. Adding the snow banks grounded my images against the busy background and made them stand out a little!
The focal images were added with my tape runner. I finished my design by die-cutting the banner from the Banner Trio die set, that was stamped with Versamark ink and heat-set with my heating tool.
To add more of a festive touch, I added the red bows that were die-cut using the Baby Bib die set. Here’s another look:

For Day 3, we are showcasing with the Snowman Roundabout stamp set that also coordinates with the previously released Circle Frames die set and Banner Trio dies.
I decided to make a Christmas tag today. To begin, I used the scallop from the Circle Frames die set and die-cut with some Neenah solar white 110 lb. card stock. I positioned this panel inside my Misti and stamped the image using the stamp set.
I used my alcohol markers to color the images in. Lately, I have been using a lot of traditional Christmas colors on my cards so I decided to change my theme this month and use pastel colors.
The sentiment strip was die-cut using the Banner Trio Frame and embossed with some embossing powder. I foam-mounted this onto the panel for added dimension.
To finish my tag, I used my Crop-A-Dile to punch a hole and inserted some silk ribbon. I also used the black & white twine with some gold jingle bell for some contrast and added some Startdust Stickles to finishthe tag. Here’s another look:

For Day 2, we are showcasing the Snowfall Roundabout stamp set that coordinates with the the previously released dies called Circle Frames Die Set and Banner Trio Dies.
To make my circular card, I started by die-cutting the circle scallop on some Centura Pearl 110 lb. card stock. I positioned this in my Misti and used my powder tool to prep the background. I stamped the Snowfall Roundabout with some Versamark ink.
Next, I sprinkled some gold embossing powder on the stamped image and used my heating tool to heat-set the image.
Next, I die-cut a pink circle frame to ground the image and adhered this onto the panel with some glue. I die-cut some pink card stock using one of the dies from the Banner Trio die set. I stamped the sentiment with Versamark ink and sprinkled the same gold embossing powder then heat-set with my heating tool. I foam-mounted this piece onto the card for added dimension.
I finished my design by adhering the gold bow that I die-cut using the die from the Bitty Bibs die set. Here’s another look:

For the first day of the reveals we are starting with the Snowman Greetings stamp setand coordinating dies.
To make my card, I started by inking up some Bristol smooth white card stock with Distress Oxide inks in Spun Sugar and Tumbled Glass. Once the colors were well-blended, I smooshed some Aged Mahogany on an acrylic block and added water to it. I used my watercolor brush to add some speckles of color to my panel for added texture.
I stamped my image on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the images in with Spectrum Noir Alcohol markers. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image.
Next, I die-cut the trees and the snow using the Forest Builder die set and Sky Borders die. I adhered the trees onto the panel with liquid glue. The snow banks were adhered with either liquid glue or foam adhesive. I added the focal image with liquid glue.
To finish my design, I stamped some snowflakes with a light blue quick dry dye ink and adhered some Snowflake sprinkles to adorn the card. I also used my BG Copic markers to add more color to the snow banks. Here’s another look:
