Newton's Nook Designs 7 YEAR Celebration Blog Hop!


Newton’s Nook Designs is so excited to be celebrating our SEVEN Year Anniversary
- WOW - That's seven years of getting our 
paws inky!

We want to take a moment and say that we are so THANKFUL for all of you, our amazing fans and customers! Your enthusiasm for our products and support of our small business has really been the silver lining in what was otherwise a very challenging year! We really appreciate every order and are so happy that we are able to continue to run our small business from our home with everything going on in the world! If you didn't receive our email this morning you can read our letter about the last year here

To celebrate, we have a big blog hop today! Make sure to scroll down to the end of the post to see the hop link list and leave them some sweet comments for a chance to win prizes (details at the end of this post).

Every stop on the hop is sharing cards made with our products and I made a card to share today too! For my card I created a slimline card featuring all the kitties!

Newton's Nook Designs 7 YEAR Celebration Blog Hop! Slimline Cat card by Jennifer Jackson | Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set, Newton's Antics Stamp Set, Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set, Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set and Pawprints Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
In the center of the card I stamped the two kittens in a box from our Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set, coloring them to look like our NEW kittens, Marlowe and Toulouse! The darker brownish gray kitty on the left is Marlowe and lighter pale gray is Toulouse!  Both of our new kittens have distinctive "M" markings on their foreheads so I tried to add that on as well. I'm not very skilled at coloring gray kitties yet but I'm sure I will do much more practicing in the future!

I also wanted to add on the kitties we lost during this last year so I included an orange kitty on the left to represent Newton and colored the one on the right to look a bit like Hobbes! For Newton I used one of our very first Stamp Sets, Newton's Antics. I will always continue to color orange kitties like Newton, since even though he as passed he was a special kitty and remains our company namesake!

The kitty images were cut out using the coordinating Newton's Antics Die Set and Newton Loves Boxes Die Set.

For the slimline card I used an 8.5" x 3.5" card base from Kraft colored cardstock. Then I used our new Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to cut out the white scalloped border. The square frame with the three windows was cut out using the Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set in lime green. I also used the same die set to cut out the inner squares. I cut a set from yellow and a set from a strip white of paper that I had stenciled colored paw prints onto using our Pawprints Stencil. I arranged the kitties over the three windows and added the sentiment "You're the Best!" from our Thankful Thoughts Stamp Set onto a banner, also cut out using the Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set. I thought that sentiment was fitting because we DO have the BEST FANS!
