Newton's Nook Designs x Therm-O-Web Inspiration Week

Thursday, September 19, 2019

Hello, lovelies!

This week Newton's Nook Designs and Therm O Web are partnering for fabulous Fall, Halloween and Christmas inspiration! All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to use Therm O Web products with Newton's Nook Designs stamps!

I made 3 cards with each theme so this is going to be a photo-heavy post so let's get started!

Newton's Nook Designs Halloween Trio Set - Naki Rager

First up is my favorite holiday of all, Halloween!

And I made a pretty spooky card, too!

The very first thing I did was to try out the Therm-O-Web Deco Foil Black Velvet Flock Transfer Sheets to create this spooky background using the NND Flying Bats Stencil. My bats are all fuzzy and so velvety, I simply LOVE how they came out!

I stamped this cute trio in their costumes from the NND Halloween Trio Stamp Set right on the front panel then added tons of shadow with black colored pencil. It was so much fun to color them looking frightened and spooky (even though I am such a chicken, I can't even handle horror movies! LOL). Below them is my heat embossed sentiment, I know it doesn't look great there but scroll down...;-)

It glows in the dark 👽

I LOVE it!

Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Cornucopia Set - Naki Rager

My fall card is for Thanksgiving.

For this one, I tried the Therm-O-Web Deco Foil Metallix Gel, can you see how creamy and shimmery and gorgeous they are in their jars!!? They look absolutely YUM!!! 💗

I created this gorgeous background using the NND Tree Rings Stencil.

I applied the Champagne Mist Metallix Gel to create the rings inside first, then used the Aged Copper Metallix Gel for the rim. They are really creamy and spread beautifully, it was really easy to work with! Once they're dry, look how beautiful!

I wasn't sure which fall stamp set to use so I flipped through my NND stash and why not Thanksgiving!? This adorable image is from the Newton's Cornucopia Stamp Set. I stamped it on watercolor paper, did no-line coloring, then die cut using the coordinating die. I like to color in general but fall images especially pumpkins are my favorite things to color!

The sentiment was heat embossed with orange EP on vellum and it was fussy cut, then popped on over the cornucopia. I do love my sequins but this one didn't need any, it already has enough shimmer!

And here is my very first Christmas card of the year!

For this one, I tried the Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel.

I created this background using the NND Cascading Stars Stencil and the TOW Gina K. Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel. It looks just like heat embossing, right? But it was much easier and faster to do using the Glitz Glitter Gel! They have so many colors, I need to order more myself!!!

Now choosing one Chrismas Image was hard but for this card, the Newton's Candy Cane Set stopped me from flipping through my NND stash further. I love red with light blue for Christmas cards! I made this kitty a light gray tuxedo because #1 I LOVE tuxie cats! #2 light color wouldn't disturb my red & blue color scheme. After coloring my kitty, he was die cut using the coordinating die.

Instead of a sentiment, I die cut "HO HO HO" using one of the confetti dies from the Ornament Shaker Die Set from red foil sheet. I added the foil red and white candy cane stripe washi tape on the side to really tie the whole look together.

Super easy but super cute and fun, don't you agree!!? ;-)

Newton's Nook Designs September Release Day 4

Thursday, September 13, 2018

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...;-)

Newton's Nook Designs Slothy Coffee Set - Naki Rager

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!?

Newton's Nook Designs Tea-Rex Set - Naki Rager

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.

Newton's Nook Designs Thankful Thoughts Set - Naki Rager

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 September Release Day 3

Wednesday, September 12, 2018

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 3 of the reveal and we're showcasing the Harvest Tails Stamp Set along with the Coordinating Die Set!

How cute is this set with all these different forest critters!? 💛
Here I go...;-)

Newton's Nook Designs Harvest Tails Set - Naki Rager

For this sweet little Bambi, I wanted a soft background.
I trimmed the watercolor paper to 4-1/2" x 5-1/2" then die cut it using the Land Border Die, and sponged them separately to create sky and ground. All I had to do was put them back together like big puzzle pieces ;-)

My sweet Bambi was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on watercolor paper, watercolored, and die cut using the coordinating die set. Before popping her on, I heat embossed the sentiment with Copper EP, then I used the new Pumpkin Patch Stencil to add one big glittery pumpkin.

My second card is with these adorable raccoon and fox friends ;-)
Yes, I colored all the images from the set without any designs in my head, they're just so stinkin' cute, I wanted to have a little fun! So this card was put together fairly quickly (for me, at least...LOL).

I think Mr.Raccoon was very excited about all these fruit and veggie, he dove right into the crate {Hee Hee} What a cutie 💛

Then we have this beautiful, sassy Miss. Roxey Foxey with her big pumpkin!
I know you're not supposed to pick a favorite but I must admit, Jen's little fox is my second favorite 💙 Obviously, Newton is my #1 man ;-)

I picked a couple of patterned papers to whip up this quick card. The orange paper was die cut using the Land Border Die Set, and my fluffy, puffy cloud was die cut using the Sky Border Die Set.

I couldn't leave this little dude out so I made a super CAS card with him ;-)
I die cut that stitched heart using the Darling Hearts Die Set (this mighty little die set is a must-have if you don't own one yet! I use this set ALL. THE. TIME. !!!) and heat embossed the sentiment with white EP. I was going to stamp the Acorn image all over but instead, I splattered some copper ink.

I have this little chipmunk in my backyard (not sure if I keep seeing the same one or there are more than one) and my kids and cats LOVE to watch him! So this is him, getting ready for winter collecting acorns ;-) His face is so sweet, he looks like he is nuts about someone...or some nuts!?

Newton's Nook Designs September Release Day 2

Tuesday, September 11, 2018

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!

Today is day 2 of the reveal and we're showcasing the new Newton's Pumpkin Patch Stamp Set!

I know! I know!!

If you're a crazy cat person who enjoys everything about Autumn like myself, this stamp set has your name on it! It couldn't get any cuter than this 💛

Okay, here I go...;-)

Newton's Nook Designs Newton's Pumpkin Patch Set - Naki Rager

Well, as you can see, I made a Halloween card with this adorable image 💜

I colored all the pumpkins purple, each of them has a slightly different hue. Then I added sparkle on them with the Kuretake Gansai Tanbi Pearl Colors ;-) I also colored the stems with yellow gold from the same set. All the kitties are black or black & white, my favorite kinds of kitties 💜

I borrowed the sentiment from the Halloween Trio Stamp Set. It was placed on the block arched then heat embossed with black EP. The little bats are from the Halloween Trio Die Set, and the little BOO in speech bubble is from the Boo Hoo Mini Stampe and the Coordinating Die Sets.

My second card is more traditional pumpkin patch with orange pumpkins ;-)

Again, the image was stamped with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on watercolor paper, watercolored, and fussy cut. I then mounted the image onto this patterned paper, and it was placed over more patterned papers. I love playing with many different patterns, as long as you stay in the same color scheme, you can mix and match just like I did with polka dots and stripes on this card!
