Happy Haunts Card by September Guest Designer Priscilla Joseph

Hello Crafty Friends!

I am delighted to be back again as the September Guest Designer for Newton's Nook Designs!

Cue the creepy, eerie Halloween music because for today’s post, I’ve created a haunted night scene complete with an old graveyard, a spooky mansion, ominous-looking trees draped in spider webs, and . . . one totally unexpected traditional jack-o-lantern. LOL!   I used 2 Newton Nook stamp sets to make this card: the just released Count Newton Stamp Set (coordinating dies are available) and the Spooky Street Stamp Set.

I love to make “colorless” scenes sometimes . . . they are “unexpected” you might say. Today’s card uses only black, white, and gray.

Card Details:

• Using a stencil from the stash, I created a brick wall background using black embossing paste on dark gray cardstock.
• I added a stitched hill using a die and the same gray card stock.
• I stamped the spooky house and trees from the Spooky Street Stamp Set on white card stock with black pigment ink and then cut them out using my Brother “ScanNCut2” machine.
• I stamped the headstones and jack-o-lantern from the Count Newton Stamp Set with Copic-friendly ink before using the coordinating Count Newton Die Set to cut them out, and then colored them in several shades of gray Copics.
• Time to make my haunted night scene! I adhered the spooky trees to the brick wall and the headstones to the hillside.
• I foam mounted the spooky house to create more dimension and “hung” the jack-o-lantern from a tree branch.

• For the sentiment “happy haunts” from the Spooky Street Stamp Set, I white heat embossed it on gray card stock and then foam mounted it (topped with a flying bat) above my scene.
• For a cool finishing touch, I “strung” store-bought spider webs from the tree branches to the elements below.
• I adhered the completed scene on to an A2 card base.

I hope you enjoyed my “haunted” Halloween card. Stay tuned to for a very bold harvest-themed card next week, using the contrasting colors of rust and navy.

Grateful for You Card by Farhana Sarker

Grateful for You!

Today we are sharing a beautiful autumn thank you card by Farhana. This unique card features a window on the front that opens to an image inside! What a fun idea!

To create this interesting layout, she started with a white card base. She cut a circle out of the front panel of the card using our Circle Frames Die Set. Then she embossed the big circle of leaves from our Fall Roundabout Stamp Set with metallic embossing powder on the inside of her card, lining it up so that it shows through the circle window. 

Next, she embellished the window by die cutting the leaves and pumpkins from several colors of cardstock using our Fall Friends Die Set. She gave them a bit of extra fun detail by adding lines of color over the stitched details using coordinating colors of markers! The sentiment was stamped using the Fall Roundabout Stamp Set onto a yellow banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. She adhered the banner across the open circle.

When you open the card, the entire image is revealed and there is still plenty of room to hand write a short message to the recipient! 

This autumn thank you card is sure to make someone feel special! You could also duplicate this layout with any of the stamps in our circle card front category to create greetings for other occasions too! There are so many possibilities!

Baby Congratulations Card by Amanda Wilcox

Baby Laundry Card!

Today Amanda has created an adorable card to celebrate a new baby featuring several fun products together. The star of the show on her card is the adorable bear bib from our Bitty Bibs Stamp Set. She colored the image with fun bright pastels and gave the bear a shiny nose! Then she used the Baby Bibs Die Set and to add the fun scalloped edge behind the image and the bow! 

For her adorable card background she layered two stencils. First she used our Serene Stripes Stencil to add a layer of blue stripes. Then she layered fuzzy clouds over the top using our Cloudy Sky Stencil with some flocking! How fun! The whole patterned panel was cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. 

Then, she put all the pieces together and included a fun yellow frame around the bib that was cut out using our Framework Die Set. She used the same die set to cut the ticket shape that holds the sentiment. 

Here is a close up so you can see all the gorgeous details. 

Any new parents would be thrilled to receive this amazing baby card!

Candy Corn Counts as a Vegetable Card by Maria Russell

Bring on the Candy Corn!

Today we have a fun Halloween card by Maria that is perfect for anyone who loves candy corn! 

She starts out by creating a fun candy corn background using our three piece Candy Corn Stencil Set. This fun layering stencil makes it easy to use multiple colors as each layer has etching of the previous layer for easy of alignment! 

Next, she created a fun tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She added fun zig zagged layers on the bottom with the included mini border pieces included in this die set. She added stamped candy corn and the sentiment using our Candy Corn Stamp Set and coordinating Candy Corn Die Set. So fun!
