2025 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!

Today we are playing along with the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!

If 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. 

For our stop on the hop today I created a duo of cute coffee cards featuring Newton drinking coffee along with some of our fun die sets:

For my first card I used the kitty from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set paired with our A Hug in a Mug and Filigree Frame Die Sets.

Isn't Newton so adorable with his arms around that to-go coffee!? I colored the kitty image using copic markers. I figured out my card layout first so I knew what color to make the coffee cup, matching it to the background paper. I also colored the kitty orange to look like Newton!

For the card layout I used our Filigree Oval Frame Die Set, cutting it from white cardstock to create the beautiful swirl filled frame. I layered this over a piece of sage green cardstock. Then I added the sentiment using our A Hug in a Mug Die Set. This set includes the words and a shadow die that is a little larger so you can layer them together. I cut the shadow layer out using a piece of yellow glitter paper from our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock to add a bit of sparkle to the card. Then I mounted it all onto a dark chocolate colored card base. I love how this turned out! 

For my second card I again used the Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set but this time I paired it with our Thanks a Latte, Basic Frames and Lattice Die Sets. 

On this card I used the image of Newton peeking over the table edge at a cup of coffee! So cute! I colored the image with copic markers. For my card layout I used our Lattice Die, cutting it out of pale yellow cardstock. I layered the lattice panel over some coffee bean patterned paper from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. 

For the message on this card I used our Thanks a Latte Die Set. This set also includes the word and shadow dies and this time I cut the words out of yellow glitter paper from our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock. For the shadow I used dark teal paper. I layered the sentiment and the image of Newton onto a yellow banner that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set. 

I had so much fun creating these coffee cards. It's so easy to pair the stamped images with our fun dies!

I hope you enjoyed these coffee cards today! Thanks for stopping by!

Have a Bee-utiful Day! Card by Amanda Wilcox

Have a BEE-utiful Day!

Today we are sharing a super cute bee themed card by Amanda featuring our Beekeeper Newton Stamp Set! 

For this sweet card Amanda starts out by stamping and coloring a bunch of images from the beekeeper set. She stamps multiples of the honey jars and bees so that she has extras for her card. She colors all the image in soft neutral tones to match the Natural Basics Paper Pad that she is planning on using. Pairing your images with a paper pad can make chosing a color palette so much easier! 

For her card layout she uses our A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set. She cut it out once from white to use as the outside border. Then she used the same die with the heart patterned papers from our Natural Basics Paper Pad. She added the die cut pieces to a white card base with dimensional adhesive. 

Once the background was complete she added all the little images from the Beekeeper Newton Stamp Set, putting some into each die cut shape. She also added the sentiment, embossed in white onto a black cardstock banner that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set. 

We think this card is BEE-utiful! How about you?

A Cheerful Daisy Card & Video by Jennifer Jackson

Cheerful Daises!

Hello! Jen here today and back to share details on another card I created. This card was created using only die sets! I used our Lattice Die, Filigree Oval Frame Die Set and Daisies Die Set. 

Our Lattice Die is perfectly sized to layer onto an A2 card base. I cut it out from dark teal paper and layered it over a light teal panel. 

I cut out the trio of daises using our Daisies Die Set and I used our Filigree Oval Frame Die Set to cut out the vellum oval along with the word "hello".  The yellow banner is from our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

I also created a video for this card so you can see my creation process:

Rose Filled Thank You Card by Samantha Mann

Roses for a Beautiful Thank You

Today Samantha has created a gorgeous thank you card featuring two of our rose themed stamp sets. This beautiful card is perfect for sending thoughts of gratitude. 

She begins by stamping the black and white background using our Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set. Although this stamp is in the shape of a heart she turned it and stamped it several times to fill the background with a continuous pattern. What a great idea! The then cut out the panel she had created using our Basic Frames Die Set to give it a nice stitched edge. 

Next she stamped the stem of blooms from our Roses Stamp Set several times. She colored all the blooms using zig watercolor markers in shades of pink and red. She added green on the leaves and then splattered all of the images with white paint. Doesn't this give them a gorgeous dewy look? Then she cut them all out with the coordinating Roses Die Set and they were ready to add to her card. 

For her card she started with a white card base. She layered her black and white panel over the base, adhering it with some dimensional tape. Then she added the roses on each side, letting them overlap and tumble off the sides. She embossed the thank you sentiment in white onto a black cardstock that had been cut out using our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

What a gorgeous card! We love how the roses spill over the edges. You don't always have to be constrained by the edges of the card.  Just send it in a larger envelope and you're all set! Plus, the recipient will be wowed by your creativity! 

We hope you are inspired by this card by Samantha today. To see more of her beautiful work you can visit her over on her blog, Sam' Scrap Candy! 

Beautiful Birthday Card with Video by Jennifer Jackson

Filigree Floral Birthday Card by Jennifer Jackson

Beautiful Birthday!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a beautiful birthday card I created using our Filigree Oval Frame Die Set and our Floral Delights Stamp Set. 

I cut out that beautiful frame twice using lime green and white cardstock. I cut it twice so that I use the green frame and could have the oval in the center be white. I save the other two cuts so that I can use them on a different project. I also cut a piece of white cardstock to 4" x 5 1/4" so that it was the same size as the frame and adhered them together with a fine tip liquid glue. 

For the center oval, I added a little bit of yellow distress ink onto the center so it would be behind my sentiment. Then I added the sentiment from our Best Mom Oval Stamp Set on top of the inked area. 

Next I added the tall daisy blooms from our Floral Delights Stamp Set. The flowers were colored with copic markers. I love how easy daisies are to color! Since the flowers are white it's just green for the stems and yellow for the centers. I did add a tiny bit of gray around the centers for dimension. I then layered the image onto the card using dimensional foam tape. 

I hope you enjoyed this project today and are inspired to create some floral cards of your own!

Beach Card with Newton by Samantha Mann

Hello Sunshine!

Today Samantha heads to the beach with our favorite kitty to bring you some sunshine and smiles!

First she colored that adorable kitty from our Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how he's enjoying a drink from a fish bowl? She also added sunglasses to the kitty and stamped a few seashells to adorn the beach! 

Next she created a gorgeous beach background for Newton to sit in. She started by ink blending the background with shades of blue fading up to brown. Then she used some white acrylic ink and a dry brush to add the sea foam across the center. She also added more splatters to add texture to the sand. What a beautiful effect! 

For the sentiment she embossed "Hello Sunshine!" with white embossing powder onto black paper and hand cut it out around the edges. As a finishing touch she added som sequins onto the waves for a bit of sparkle!

We love this fun background technique and we hope this card has inspired you to try some fun backgrounds for your cards too!
