Autumn Greetings Card by Zsofia Molnar

Autumn Greetings Card by Zsofia Molnar | Leaf Splendor Stamp Set and Framework Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Autumn Greetings

Today we are celebrating fall with a gorgeous leaf themed card by Zsofia!

This beautiful card features our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set. This stamp set is filled with lovely leaves, perfect for sending fall greetings. Zsofia created the front panel of this card by embossing the leaves in a random pattern using gold embossing powder. She then added color inside of each of the leaves with watercolors. Once the leaves were colored she added black splatters all over the panel to give it a fun texture. She cut the panel out using our Framework Die Set to give it the fun postage edge.

Next, she embossed 3 more oak leaves using gold embossed powder. Two of the leaves are on vellum paper and one is on brown cardstock. She cut the leaves out with the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. She tied a bit of twine around them and added them to the center of her card. 

Under the leaves she added the "Autumn Greetings" Sentiment. This was embossed in white onto black cardstock and then trimmed out using the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. A cool thing about the Leaf Splendor Die Set is that it also includes that fit with the sentiments in the set, making it easy to cut them out and layer them onto your card.

Kitty Get Well Card by Samantha Mann

Kitty Get Well Card by Samantha Mann | Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set, Circle Frames Die Set, and Speech Bubbles Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Hope You're Feline Better Soon!

Today we are sharing an adorable get well card by Samantha. If you have a friend who is under the weather, this sweet kitty is sure to cheer them up. 

She started by stamping the two cats from our Newton’s Sick Day Stamp Set. This set includes several cats who are perfect for sending well wishes. She used the cat in the nurses hat and the cat under the blanket, along with the box of tissues for her card today. She colored the cats in shades of brown and added cute pink cheeks to them both. She cut the images out by hand but you could also use our Newton's Sick Day Die Set

For her card front she started with a white card panel. She created a mask using our Circle Frames Die Set  and then added pink and orange distress inks inside the circle. She also used our Petite Paw Prints Stencil to add to the paw prints inside the circle too. 

For the pattern up the side of her card she used used the small images for the set, repeatedly stamping them with pink ink to match the circle.

She cut two message bubbles from our Speech Bubbles Die Set to hold her sentiment. She embossed the sentiment onto one of the bubbles and then added blue ink over the top to match the colors on the blanked and tissue box. She layered the blue bubble with a white bubble underneath so that it pops off the background.

Autumn Greetings Card by Larissa Heskett

Autumn Greetings Card by Larissa Heskett | Leaf Splendor Stamp Set, Circle Frames Die Set, Frames & Flags Die Set and Autumn Paper Pads by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Autumn Greetings 

Today we are sharing a beautiful fall card by Larissa!

For this card Larissa created a unique layered image using our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set. She started by cutting two scalloped circles using our Circle Frames Die Set. She cut one circle from white and for the second one she used plaid paper from our Autumn Woofs Paper Pad

On the plaid circle she die cut the maple leaf outline from the center using the Leaf Splendor Die Set. Then she stamped the maple leaf from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set on the white circle. Before she stamped the image, she lined the two circles up together and stamped the leaf through the open die cut so she could be sure they would match up when she was finished.

She colored the leaf in shades of yellow, adding texture with light orange dots. Then she layered the two circles together. This results in a gorgeous frame around the leaf!

For her base layer, she cut out a scalloped frame using orange polka dotted cardstock from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad with our Frames & Flags Die Set. She layered a white stitched panel on top of the frame, die cut using our Basic Frames Die Set. She added a bit of blue distress ink in the center along with some gold paint splatters. The sentiment along the bottom is also from our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set.

Here is the card all assembled:

2024 National Coffee Day Blog Hop


Today we are playing along with the 2024 National Coffee Day Blog hop!
I you like coffee you are going to LOVE this blog hop! There are so may fun stops on this hop featuring coffee themed cards you are sure to be inspired! There will be prizes too on most of the stops! Read all the way to the end of this post for details on the giveaway from us at Newton's Nook Designs and a link to all the stops.

To celebrate National Coffee Day I am sharing a set of coffee themed cards that I created:

To create this card set I started out with our Natural Basics Paper Pad and Fractured Card Layout Die Set.
I chose four patterns from the paper and cut them out using the Fractured Card Layout Die Set. I used the same die set again on brown and white to create the inside frame and the white centers.

Now I had four perfect spots to add in coffee themed sentiments and images!

Card 1:
This card uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Card 2:
This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 3:
This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 4:
This card also uses the coffee grinder image and sentiment from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.


I've also created a video sharing how I created these cards!




I absolutely adore how this turned out! Here are images of the products that I used today:
