For our projects today, the design team is showcasing the Newton’s Pumpkin Patch stamp set. Is there anything cuter than a stack of pumpkins with cats? I love this one as well!

I stamped the image on some Neenah solar white card stock and Memento Rich Cocoa ink. I colored the images in with my Copic markers. I chose to color the pumpkins with some warm gray markers because I LOVE white pumpkins! I buy white pumpkins to decorate my house during the fall season. I only really use orange pumpkins for Halloween.

I created the scallop frame around the images with the Frames and Flag die set and cut the middle piece with my stitched rectangle die. I stamped the sentiment on some black card stock and heat-set it with white embossing powder.

I love the simplicity of this card. I also added the leaves from the Autumn Newton stamp set. Here’s a little close-up:

I used my white gel pen to add some details to the pumpkins. Here’s another look:

For our first day of the reveals, we are showcasing TWO new stamp sets and TWO AMAZING stencils – the Newton’s Thanksgiving stamp set and coordinating dies, Newton’s Cornucopia stamp set and coordinating dies with the Pumpkin Patch and Tree Rings stencil. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the September release. Fall is my favorite season and the stamp sets and stencils are must-haves for sure! Here’s what they look like:

To start, I stamped my images on some Neenah solar white card stock with my memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them in with my Copic markers. I chose a brown hybrid ink because it is the fall season and I wanted the images to stay on the warmer side. I die-cut the images with its coordinating dies.

I cut some Bristol smooth white card stock and inked up my background with some Antique Linen and Tattered Rose distress oxide inks. I splattered it with Vintage photo distress oxide ink and blotted it dry with my paper towel.

I used the Land Borders die to create the hills and inked it up with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink. I die-cut the rest of the elements that I needed to create my fall scene. I used the leaves from the Autumn Newton stamp set from last year to adorn the trees.

This image is so adorable! This is definitely how I feel every Thanksgiving! Stuffed to the gills!

For my second card, I stamped the images with Memento Rich Cocoa ink from the Newton’s Cornucopia stamp set and colored it in with Copics as well. I inked up another Bristol smooth white card stock with Tattered Rose distress oxide and used Vintage photo to splatter brown dots onto the background. I blotted it dry with some paper towel.

I used the new Tree rings stencil and used Vintage Photo distress oxide to color my background. Let me tell you, this new Tree Rings stencil is so beautiful, it’s a must-have for sure! I stamped my sentiment on black card stock and heat-embossed it with some white embossing powder. Here’s my second card:

I adorned the card with more leaves from the Autumn Newton stamp set. To finish my design, I used my white gel pen to add some dot details to the cornucopia, pumpkins and the apples. Here’s a little close-up:

I hope you like my cards today and got inspired. Would you like to win the “Newton’s Thanksgiving” or the “Newton’s Cornucopia” Stamp Set? We will choose ONE lucky winner for each stamp set!

Best Day Ever! You Got Rescued!

August 29, 2018August 29, 2018 | marialrussell

Hello my crafty peeps! I hope you are all having a great week so far! Maria here on the blog today, sharing with you a simple card, showcasing the Nate & Friday stamp set, with the Best Day Ever Fri-dies.

I started out by inking up my image using a Sunburst stencil from my stash with some Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks (this piece will be my foreground). I also dry-embossed this piece with a heart-shaped die and adhered this onto my card base.

I stamped my image on some Neenah solar white card stock using a hybrid intense black ink and just colored him a little with my Tombow markers. I blended the colors with my watercolor brush to give him a little dimension. I fuzzy-cut the image with my precision cut scissors and adhered this piece to my card.

I die-cut the Best Day Ever Fri-dies on some white card stock and also adhered these pieces on my card with some Nuvo liquid adhesive. To finish my design, I added the enamel heart and stamped my sentiment with Versa-fine Onyx Black ink. I also highlighted his nose with some black glazed pen and let it dry, then topped it with some white gel pen.

Rescuing/adopting a dog is one of the greatest decisions one could ever make and needs to be celebrated! The sentiment that I chose for this card is just perfect! Here’s a little close-up:

Adding the pink enamel heart just made it pop! This card is super simple but I love the way it turned out. Here’s one last look:

I hope you like my project today. Don’t forget to check out the new August release and use my coupon code below for 15% off your order. This stamp set is a must-have for sure!

Happy Meow-oween & Pawsome Birthday

August 21, 2018August 21, 2018 | marialrussell

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! Are you ready for more inspiration from last week’s August release? For today’s projects, I am showcasing a LOT of Newton’s Nook products. I’m featuring the Halloween Trio stamp set and coordinating dies, Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and coordinating dies, with an older stamp set Newton’s Perfect Pumpkin. I also used the Land Border Dies, Sky Border dies with the Framework die set.

For my first card, I inked up my background with distress oxide inks —> Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber to create my night sky. I sprayed it with water using my distress sprayer and dabbed it with my paper towel.

I stamped my image on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the image with the coordinating die. I die-cut the grass with the land borders die on some black card stock, as well as the picket fence and the clouds, using the Sky Border dies. I adhered the die-cuts and the images on my colored background.

To finish my design I added the pumpkins, spider web and the spider with the black bats using the Newton’s Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment with versa mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Here’s the Happy Meow-oween card!

I added some white details to the pumpkins and the noses of the critters.

For my second card, I stamped my images on some white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I die-cut an A2 size smooth white card stock and dry-embossed it with the biggest die using the Framework die set. I cut the window using the smallest die of the same set. I covered the window with acetate and also added my foam adhesive to create the well for my shaker card. I used some white and purple star confetti as my shaker element and adhered this piece on my card base.

I inked up the bottom of my card front with some Antique Linen distress oxide ink and adhered my little Frenchies on my card. I also adhered the balloon and stamped my sentiment onto the card.

To finish my design I added glossy accents to the balloon and the little Frenchies to make their noses pop.

I hope you like my projects today. If you haven’t checked out the August stamp, dies and stencil release please visit Newton’s Nook Designs. The products I used are also listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

NND August Reveals – Day 2 – Fabulous Frenchies

August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 | marialrussell

It is the second day of the August reveals by Newton’s Nook Designs. I hope you were able to check out yesterday’s reveal. You have a chance to win each stamp set during release week so check out the details I have indicated at the end of this blog post.

For our projects today, the design team is showcasing the Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and coordinating dies.

I stamped my images on Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies. I always color more than one image so that when I need to use it for my project, I already have it colored and die-cut and all I have to do is think of a card design.

I inked up my background using my handmade stencil with Spun Sugar distress oxide ink. I wanted to create a different background for my card other than a blue sky. I also inked up the hill with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink. I die-cut a scalloped border and adhered it on my card. I also adhered my cute little Frenchie. Here’s my card:

I used black and white wash tape to decorate both sides of my card. I love the simplicity of this card. I’m not sure why the shirt looks blue on the photo but it is actually dark gray. It’s been raining so much in Florida and I haven’t had much luck taking bright photos lately and I apologize for that.

This stamp set is a must-have! I can’t wait to show you my other card using this stamp set next week.

Would you like to win the “Fabulous Frenchies” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

For our first day of August reveals, we are showcasing the Classy Teachers stamp set and coordinating dies. This stamp set is super special for me because my daughter is a teacher. Thank you so much Jen for creating this stamp set. Teachers work so hard and are often unappreciated. I think being a teacher is a noble career and words cannot express how proud I am of my daughter for being one.

To start, I stamped my images on some Neenah solar white card stock with my memento tuxedo black ink and colored them in with my alcohol markers (not Copics). Yes, I am currently working on a mobile design studio because I’m in the process of moving my entire overseas studio back home to FL (container is currently in Singapore, en-route to FL). I never realized how hard it was going to be not having my regular supplies. Even taking my project photos was a huge challenge. It was raining so hard for the last two weeks and it’s been gloomy. Anyways, I wouldn’t bore you with all of my crafting dilemma. Here is the first card:

Let me just say that the sentiment on this card is my favorite! Here’s another look:

For my second card, I wanted to create a cheerful card. My daughter is my ray of sunshine. She works so hard at school but still manages to call me after work to update me about her day and how her “kids” made her laugh or cry, etc.! She is AMAZING! Here is my second card:

I used the same sentiment on the second card because I think it is so true! Here’s another look:

For our last reveal day, the design team is showcasing 5 new mini stamp sets and 4 coordinating dies. They are called Pina Koala, Cat Treats, Flip-Flop Life, Vitamin Sea and Floaty Goat. Here’s what they look like:

Since we are featuring a ton of products this week, I will not have a step-by-step tutorial on how I made the cards. However, be sure to subscribe to my YouTube channel because I will posting video tutorials for most of the cards that you see today in the next few weeks.

Here’s my card showcasing the Pina Koala stamp set and coordinating dies. I also combined some images from the Aloha Newton stamp set.

Isn’t this card so adorable? I love that the Koala peeks through the window and the flowers and the pina-colada images I added gave it a whimsical look!

When I was designing this card, I was thinking about Jennifer and Jeff Jackson sipping through their drinks while they were on a cruise last month. I don’t have the courage to go on a cruise just yet but one of these days, I probably will.

For my second card, I used the adorable Cat Treats stamp set. A simple design but I’m happy how this turned out.

These images are so cute! Here’s a little close-up:

I hope you guys enjoyed all of the products we featured this week. Don’t forget to check out tomorrow’s blog hop to see more projects by the whole design team plus SPECIAL GUESTS!
