I am so bummed that my lighting didn’t really show the glittered “snow” on my card. When I was making this card, it was hurricane season in Florida. I used some diamond glittered card tsock to create my snow hills. Here’s a little close-up:

I love the silhouette images on this stamp set.

For my second card, I used my Nuvo Moonstone glitter paste and the Evergreen stencil.

I wish you can see this card in person. The glittered/snowy trees the background is really pretty. Here’s a little close-up:

For the last day of the reveal the design team is showcasing one 4 x 6 stamp set and TWO mini stamps and dies – the Thankful Thoughts stamp set, Tea-Rex stamp set and coordinating die and the Slothy Coffee stamp set and coordinating die. The “slothy” cracks me up! What a perfect name for this stamp set!

This is going to be a long blog post since we are featuring three stamp sets today so please be patient 🙂

I cut an A2 size piece of Bristol Smooth white card stock and inked up my background using some sponge daubers and the new Pumpkin Patch stencil. I used Wild Honey and Mowed Lawn distress oxide inks.

This stencil is so cute and a definite must-have for fall projects! This stencil will also be perfect to use on a scrapbook layout!

I used an oval die to die-cut the window on my card base. I also used the same oval dies to die-cut an oval frame for my card. I covered my inked up background with some vellum and adhered the frame with some foam adhesive. I die-cut the leaves and acorn using the Autumn leaves die set to adorn my card.

To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment using the Thankful Thoughts stamp set with Versafine Vintage Sepia ink. Here’s a little close-up:

I love the details on the Autumn Leaves. I colored the leaves with distress oxide inks and the acorn with my Copic markers.

For my other projects I colored the images once again with my Copics. For the tags, I used the Fancy Edges Tag die set.

I stamped the background with Fog ink. The coffee cup is from Newton Loves Coffee stamp set and Spooky Street stamp set.

This tag will go with a gift set that I am sending to a friend of mine who loves drinking tea. I think it is so adorable!

Here’s my Slothy coffee card:

Here’s a cute tag with the Slothy Coffee again.

Whew! I am now going to make myself a cup of coffee! That’s it for today! I hope you like my projects. Would you like to win the “Thankful Thoughts” Stamp Set? We will choose ONE lucky winner to WIN this stamp set!

For the third day, the design team is showcasing the Harvest Tails stamp set and Harvest Tails Coordinating dies. This stamp set is one of my TOP 5 favorite stamp sets of all time! Just look at all the adorable images on this set? My favorite is the deer and the squirrel! Ahhh! Can it get any cuter? I don’t know how Jennifer keeps coming up with AMAZING designs! It’s like Christmas for the design team, every month!

I know this sounds redundant but I stamped the images again using Memento Rich Cocoa ink and colored them in with Copic markers. I die cut the images using the coordinating dies.

I inked up my background using Tumbled Glass and Tattered Rose distress oxide inks! I wanted to create a soft-colored background to make my images pop! I splattered some Vintage photo onto my colored background and blotted it dry with my paper towel. I die-cut the rest of the elements to create my scene.

To create a little bit of contrast to the white pumpkins and soft colored background, I added an orange pumpkin and also adorned the birch trees with orange leaves from the Autumn Newton stamp set. I finished my design by stamping the sentiment using Memento Rich Cocoa Ink. Here’s a little close-up:

Don’t you just love that adorable squirrel holding a pile of acorns? The deer image is sooo cute with the white pumpkins! This stamp set is so versatile, you can also use it for Christmas by masking the pumpkins and replace it with some presents. The possibilities are endless with this stamp set. Here’s another look:

For my second project, I wanted to create a tag that will go with a gift that I am sending to a friend of mine. I used the Fancy Edges Tag die set and the bow is from the Pines & Holly die set.

I colored the tag with some spiced marmalade distress oxide inks and stamped the sentiment with Versafine Onyx black ink.

I hope you like my card today. Would you like to win the “Harvest Tails” Stamp Set? We will choose ONE lucky winner to WIN this stamp set!

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:

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Day 1

September 10, 2018September 8, 2018 | marialrussell

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!
