Newton's Nook Designs January Release Day 2

Hello, lovelies!

Welcome to day 2 of the Newton's Nook Designs January Release!

All the new products will be available for purchase this Friday the 18th in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!
Today we're revealing the Caffeinated Cats Set!
Let's take a look ;-)

If you're a crazy cat lady (or gentleman) who is also a caffeine addict like I am, well, this new set is a must-have for you!!! How stinkin' cute are these kitties in these mugs!?
Okay, here's what I created...;-)

Here's my first card with the new Caffeinated Cats Set, which I used the stamp as a background ;-)
These big "Full Card Front" stamps can be either background or focal point of your cards!

After stamping the image with alcohol based ink on watercolor paper, I colored it with real tea! 
I just thought, why not!? But who knew it was going to take so many layers when you spill tea on your clothes and it stains!? LOL

I made a "tea bag" with vellum, heat embossed the sentiment, and before sealing the bag, I added bead seeds in many colors. (Can I call this a "shaker"!?) I popped this one kitty that was watercolored with foam tape to add a bit of color ;-)

The whole panel was die cut using the Framework Die Set and mounted on dark brown cardstock, which matched the sentiment ;-) 
It looks like a lot of work to create this card but it is actually quite easy and simple ;-) 

My second card has nothing but colors!
The design is, well, not much design going on {LOL}
I simply enjoyed watercoloring this adorable image and that became the focal point of this card, naturally ;-)

I didn't want to hide any part of the image so I used vellum to heat emboss the sentiment, which was die cut using the Framework Die Set (I just cannot stay away from this die set!).

National Coffee Day Blog Hop with Newton's Nook Designs

Happy National Coffee Day! 

Today the Newton's Nook Design Team is hosting a blog hop to celebrate! You can visit all the Design Team Member's blogs and leave comments for a chance to win! You can also visit the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today for another big blog hop and a chance to win more prizes! 

Here is what I created...;-)

Did you know that Newton even has his own coffee company!? 
It's true, It all started with this one blend of coffee back in 2016 (click HERE to see what I am talking about! LOL)

Usually, Newton would be in the spotlight but he has business to run and has to compete against big, famous coffee companies. So he hired this two-tailed mermaid (or siren, some say...), who looks a lot like the one from the Narly Mermaids Stamp Set from NND to make his company logo! 

This perfect sentiment and the cute little coffee beans are from the Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set ;-)
The beans were heat embossed with dark brown EP, and the sentiment was heat embossed with black EP.

Newton's Nook Designs September Release Day 4

Hello, lovelies!

It is time for the Newton's Nook Designs September Release!

All the new products will be available for purchase this Friday the 14th in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

So today is day 4 of the reveal and we're showcasing the Slothy Coffee and Tea-Rex Mini Stamp Sets along with the Coordinating Die Set, AND the Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set!

How cute is this little sloth in a coffee mug!?

I really do love these fun mini stamps, too 💚

I LOVE LOVE LOVE this guy! "Tea-Rex"...{LOL}

It totally cracks me up every time I see him! 

I LOVE sentiments sets!
And "Thanks" is totally versatile!
Okay, here I go...;-)

I went with super CAS with this cutie 💗

This cutie was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on watercolor paper and watercolored, then die cut using the coordinating die. Doesn't he absolutely adorable in his sparkly pink ombre mug!? 

Seriously, this guy cracks me up every time! 😆
This guy is actually Japanese (I don't know if T-Rexes lived in Japan tho...LOL), or maybe he's visiting Japan.   

So you ask why is he Japanese? Because he is drinking Green Tea {LOL}
Okay, he doesn't need to be Japanese to drink green tea,, I just wanted to use one of these origamis with beautiful patterns that my lovely friend Nina gave me {LOL} Anyhoo, my Tea-Rex was stamped and watercolored then die cut using the coordinating die. When I picked this beautiful orange with gold origami, I decided to match his mug and you know, I absolutely completely suck at coloring with dark colors! So I had to fussy cut him to get rid of the mess I made outside the lines...😝

"Tea-Rex" Gosh, this is so funny...{LOL}
It was heat embossed with black EP on vellum and was trimmed down, then I prettied it up with these beautiful cherry blossom stickers that my mom sent me years ago. 

The Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set is a must-have!
The whole set is sentiments so obviously, they can be paired with any other NND sets your creative heart desires 💙 I paired with the Tree Rings Stencil, which was heat embossed with brown and white on Kraft cardstock. Before mounting this beautiful tree trunk, I tore the cardstock off around the trunk on the top so that the basecard can peek out. I just LOVE this espresso and kraft together! 💗

I used 3 of the sentiments from the set, they were all heat embossed with Pool Party EP on off-white cardstock. This one was fussy cut and placed on this leaf, which was die cut using the Autumn Leaves Die Set. 

"Thankful" was also fussy cut and placed on a couple leaves. 
"This isn't..." sentiment was trimmed down and mounted on top of all these different ribbons. I love this look, especially for fall cards. Not only it adds different textures, but it is pretty 💗

Newton's Nook Designs June Release Day 3

Happy hump day, lovelies!

The Newton's Nook Designs June Release continues and you will be able to get your hands on these fabulous new products this Friday the 22nd in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

But let's take a sneak peek at more of the new sets first!

Today we have 2 super fun sets to reveal and I have a feeling you'll LOVE both!

First up is the Wine A Little Set along with the coordinating die set!

The name itself is simply fun and adorable, but look at these little images with these sentiments!

Isn't this such a unique and fun set!?

The sentiment just kills me...😆

Ready to see what I created!?

First up is this fun card with the Coffee & Wine Set. 
The sentiment is the focal point but it couldn't tell its story without using all the little images that come with it ;-)

I stamped all the images on white cardstock and colored them in with Chameleon Markers then fussy cut them. Before popping them on with foam tape, I foiled the little backgrounds using the new Sunscape Stencil, aren't they cute!? ;-)

This sentiment is just so fun! It was heat embossed with white, early espresso, and a teeny bit of red EP on the bottom of the sentiment on vellum then fussy cut. I popped it on inside the biggest frame with clear 3D tape (I wish it were truly clear!).

My first card with the Wine A Little Set is an interactive card!

I saw the cork, corkscrew, and this sentiment and thought, wouldn't it be really fun to actually uncork!? I stamped the cork then only half of the corkscrew then colored them together so that the corkscrew is in the cork. 

I mounted my front panel with foam tape so that I could make a path for a piece of the Acetate Sheet. As you can see in the photo, I also popped the corkscrew with foam tape.  

My second card with the Wine A Little Set is very CAS but still fun with the red wine and the foiled red dotted background ;-)

I watercolored these bottle and glasses and fussy cut as well.

I applied the Glossy Accents on my glasses to give some shine ;-)

I tried a few different backgrounds first but this foiled dots were the winner ;-) Deciding on which color to foil with after applying the transfer paste using the Bubbly Stencil was quite a task! {LOL} The red foil is pretty bold for me, but it really isn't that intimidating on white cardstock ;-) Plus, I stayed inside the stitched lines of the frame from the Framework Die Set so it looks more controlled (if that makes sense...) 

Instead of using the sentiment "The best wine is..." as my original design, I thought this cheers sentiment die was more fun for this card! I die cut the sentiment from the Cocktail Mix Die Set 3 times from black cardstock and heat embossed one of them with clear EP then layered them all. Doesn't it look like a puffy sentiment sticker!? I LOVE it 💗

This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Newton's Nook Designs September Release Day3 - Fall-ing for You

Hello again, lovelies!

Welcome to day3 of the Newton's Nook Designs September Release!

All the new sets will be available for purchase this Friday the 16th over at the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

Today we are sharing this darling stamp set "Fall-ing for You".

Are you ready to "fall-in" love with this lovely set!?

I know!!! So pretty!!!

If your favorite season is fall like mine, this is a must have!

Here is my take...;-)

I immediately thought to have this lovely sentiment in steam that is coming out of this cute cup!

Some of you might hate me for this, but I don't like pumpkin spice...

But I do fall for everything else listed there! I love good apple cider with fried cakes...mmmmmm :-) And who doesn't like hay rides!? So fun!

This beautiful sentiment was heat embossed with Early Espresso on water colored panel, and the steam image was heat embossed to frame it. I rubbed Perfect Pearls all over the sentiment with my finger to make it look steamy. 

I didn't color the cup on purpose, I wanted the band (is that what you call them?) to stand out. I also crinkled a piece of kraft cardstock to match the band. 

The watercolor panel was sewn onto my base because it warped like crazy from water, and I just love the real stitches on my card ;-)

I added some Early Espresso twine and done!

I just love how this card turned out!

Would you like to win the “Fall-ing for You” Stamp Set?

This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
