Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release - Aloha Newton & Hibiscus Die

Hello lovelies!

Welcome to the final day of the Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release!

I hope you have been enjoying the reveal all week!

Didn't Jennifer do a fabulous job designing all the beautiful new sets!?

Well, I think we saved the best for the big finale today!!!

I truly look forward to new kitty sets every month, and I don't know how Jen does it but she makes me say "Oh my gosh! This is the cutest set ever!" everytime! *LOL*

I am not sure if I have a word for this beautiful die...

I mean, look at this!!! 

Okay, I made two cards with each set, ready!? ;-)

I know, I'm sorry I am so predictable...

But I HAD to water color this cutie!!! *LOL*

My kitty is all nice and tanned, relaxing in this beautiful flower bed!

She was SO MUCH FUN to color!!!

I borrowed the leaf image from the Tiki Time set to make a nice, comfy bed for her ;-)

I also borrowed the little flower that is stamped all over on the base with purple, and the sentiment from the Tiki Time set. Isn't the purple just beautiful with the poppy hibiscus and greens!?

Now my hibiscus card ;-)

I LOVE this die so much, I decided to go banana with it!

It was a lot of cranking the handle on the big shot!

I die cut the flowers from Poppy Parade and Very Vanilla cardstock.

I pooped the pretty flowers with different levels of foam tape. 

The background was created with the dry paint, I sprinkled some chartreuse on watercolor paper then spritzed some water, done! The sentiment was die cut from the Pool Party Cardstock then was brushed with the clear glitter pen.

Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release - Paradise Palms

Hello lovely Newton lovers!

Welcome to day three of the Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release!

All the new sets will be available for purchase this Friday the 15th over at Newton's Nook Designs, so enjoy the fabulous samples by the design team before you decide which ones to get! Hee Hee;-)

Today we are showcasing this beautiful silhouette stamp set Paradise Palms!

Isn't it just gorgeous!?

Here is my take...;-)

Awww, don't you just wish you were sitting on the beach watching this beautiful sunset!?

First I water colored very lightly with orange where the sun rays would be, then placed my stencil and went over it with a paint brush. The first orange was a bit too light so I added more orange in between the rays.

I stamped the 2 palm trees on an island image with versamark then randomly stamped the island image several times with also versamark. The stamped images were heat embossed with black to make a silhouette. 

I LOVE this sentiment! It sounds like a fabulous way of life, doesn't it!?

I decided to create the ocean because of the sentiment ;-) 
It was water colored (of course) Then die cut with the Wonky Stitches.

Some copper sequins were added, and this beautiful sunset scene was mounted on this vellum with wavy patterns. I LOVE it!

Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release - Party Pops, Pineapple Delight, and Tiki Time

Hello lovelies!

Welcome to day tow of the Newton's Nook Designs July Release!! 

Today we are sharing three stamp sets plus the coordinating dies!

They will be available for purchase this Friday the 15th, so just be patient a bit longer and you can get your crafty hands on these cuties!

I have to warn you, this is a VERY photo heavy post!
I'll try not to babble too much...*LOL*

Yummy! and adorable!!

Pineapples are my favorite, simply cannot have enough of them!!!

Now this is very different, right!

SOOO fun!!!

Here are my cards...;-)

Don't you wish you were invited to this party with these fun pops!?

Meet coffee pop, orange & cream pop, and strawberry pop!

Orange & cream really knows how to party, she borrowed the sunglasses from Newton's Summer Vacation set, and found a pretty little flower too! *giggle*

"Have a sweet day"
Now that's a perfect sentiment from the party pops!
I heat embossed it then die cut with the word bubble. 

When you have such cute images, you don't want to crowd your design with a ton of embellishments so I kept it very simple but still fun!

Now onto my pineapple!

I LOVE this sentiment!

Pineapples do make me happy...;-)

I die cut my pineapple from some felt then sewed some zig zags.

It was mounted on another pineapple that was die cut from watercolor paper (It's so nice and thick!)

This lovely sentiment was heat embossed with gold, then framed with gold also.

A few fun scribbles were also heat embossed, aren't they cute!? 

I heat embossed a few pineapple and scribble images on my base with light gold. 
It's so subtle but sparkly and fun! 

Okay, now the tikis!

Totem-pole!

That's what came to me when I first saw this set!

This is a super long card, 6-1/2"x3-1/2"!!

Three tikis were heat embossed with white on Crumb Cake, trying to look like carved wood with white paint on it...

This fun set comes with these beautiful hibiscus and leaf images.

I love this fun sentiment, I decided it needed to be framed! 

Tiki = Hawaii = beautiful sunset...is what I thought.
So I water colored the background with burning sunset orange, isn't it beautiful!?
Of course my watercolor paper warped like crazy so I sewed it onto the base, but I am loving the white zig zag stitches on this card!

Newton's Nook Designs 3 Year Celebration Release - Freshly Squeezed & Dog Days of Summer

Hello my crafty friends!

Welcome to day one of the Newton's Nook Designs July Release!

This July is also their three year anniversary, congratulations Jen and Jeff!

Are you all ready for this fun, big, fabulous release!?

Jennifer absolutely outdid herself and designed seven stamp sets and four die sets! 

They will be available for purchase this Friday the 15th, so enjoyed the reveal this week and grab what you love over at Newton's Nook Designs! 

Today we are revealing two of the stamp sets.

Are you ready for some serious cuteness!?

This one is called "Freshly Squeezed"!

Oh.My.Goodness!!!

It is full of summer fun images, eeeeek!!!

I am a cat person (a crazy cat lady to be exact...) BUT I LOVE this set!!!

How sweet are these images!?

These pups are having so much fun in the sun!

Alright, here are my cards...

How could I NOT make a fun, summery scene with this set!?

Winston is so adorable at his little lemonade stand!

I heat embossed the stand and lemons then water colored.

The banner was paper pieced, fun!

This fun sentiment was split into two.

The first half on the sun...

And the other half on the inside with a little pink lemon!

The grass was actually leftover from a previous project, perfect!

The background was lightly water colored with Soft Sky as well as behind Winston.

Now time for my pup card ;-)

I totally fell in love with this sweet pup eating ice cream!

She is just adorable!!! 

She reminds of me my partner in crime Nina's sweet Molly. She's a basset hound with only a few wrinkles, almost looks like beagle! She is such a sweetheart :-)

I stamped her with Sahara Sand then water colored. She was so much fun to color!

And don't forget the ice cream! I added some shine with clear glitter pen. Yum!

I also love this sweet sentiment, it was heat embossed on my water colored heart.

She is just so sweet, I had to frame her!

I love how this card turned out, just so sweet!
