Happy Halloween Card by Donna Idlet

It's Cider Season!

Fall is nearly here and that means it's time for apple cider! Today Donna has created a card that captures the spice of the season!  

For this yummy card she started out by stamping the duo of dogs ready for trick-or-treating from our Happy Howl-oween Stamp Set. Aren't they so cute in their Halloween costumes? She colored the dogs in classic Halloween colors and then used the Happy Howl-oween Die Set to cut the image out. 

Next, she used our Spiderweb Hot Foil Plates to create a fun sparkly background. She started with a black cardstock rectangle, cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. She foiled the spiderweb in sparkly silver and the spiders in red! So spooky!

She also foiled the "Happy Halloween" in from our Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates using black foil. She cut the message out using the rectangle banner from our Banner Duo Die Set

For her card base she chose a yellow cardstock and then layered a strip of spider patterened paper over the side, cut from our Halloween Time Paper Pad.

We love the the spooky feeling this card has! 

We hope you have enjoyed this project today. To see more fun creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!

A Corny Halloween Card by Farhana Sarker

Have a Corny Halloween!

Today we are sharing a fun and simple Halloween card by Farhana.

For this card she features the cute image of Newton wearing his Halloween Costume from our Candy Corn Newton Stamp Set. She stamped and colored the kitty and three candy corns to add to her card. For her card today she carefully hand cut out the images but if you don't like to fussy cut, you could use the coordinating Candy Corn Newton Die Set. 

For her card she made a simple inked sky, masking off the card bottom and using three different distress ink colors to blend the top. She added water sprinkles to give it more texture too. Then she simply adhered Newton and his candy corns on top of the inked area and stamped the sentiment below! 

What a fun way to create a simple Hallowen Greeting!

Bushel of Thanks Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

NOTE: This is our second post today. To view our National Coffee Day Blog hop, scroll down or click here. 

A Bushel and a Peck!

Today we are sharing a beautiful thank you card by Tatiana featuring bushels of lovely fall items!

For this beautiful autumn card, she stamped the bushel images from our Fall Harvest Stamp Set. She stamped the bushel basket three times and then stamped three different fall images to fill it, apples, pumpkins and sunflowers. She colored all the images in soft fall colors using copic markers and then added white gel pen accents. She used the coordinating Fall Harvest Die Set to cut the images out. 

For her card, she created a white cardstock base that is 5 x 7 inches. Then she used our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set to cut a trio of stitched rectangles. She inked the rectangles using blue distress ink and added fun white paint splatters. She arranged the rectangles on her card, adding a bushel basket to each one. Then she added the sentiment, split into the three panels. On the top panel she embossed the words and fussy cut them out. On the middle panel she stamped directly on the background. On the bottom panel she embossed the words onto a small banner (also from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set). Treating panel of the card a bit differently really adds interest to the card! 

We hope you enjoyed beautiful creation by Tatiana today! To see more of her lovely work, you can visit Tatiana at her blog, Tatiana Trafimovich! 

2023 National Coffee Day Blog Hop

Today we are playing along with the 2023 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. Plus, we are having a Spooky Sale too (details at the end of this post).  

Here's what I created for our stop today:

 

To celebrate National coffee day I decided to feature our Newton Loves Coffee and Time For Coffee Stamp Sets.  

First I cut out a stitched rectangle using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then I used wide masking tape to block off the bottom of the rectangle, inking the top with blue. I then moved the tape, and inked the bottom with brown. I also added splatters using water and brown and white inks to give the table top some texture. 

For the images I stamped and colored the kitty making coffee with his french press from the Newton Loves Coffee Stmap Set and the small mug and coffee grinder from the Time For Coffee Stamp Set. The images were colored with copic markers and I added a few details to the kitty with a white gel pen. Then I cut them out using the coordinating Newton Loves Coffee Die Set and Time For Coffee Die Set. 

I arranged the images on the rectangle and then framed it with a postage edge frame from our Framework Die Set and a coffee bean patterened paper piece from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. 

For the sentiment, I used "take time to pour over the good things in life" from the Time For Coffee Stamp Set. It was stamped onto a triangle banner from our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set.

We hope that this coffee card made you smile today! If you like coffee, make sure to check out all of our coffee themed sets in our Coffee & Tea category!

Ghostly Dog and Cat Halloween Cards by Zsofia Molnar

Ghostly Halloween Cards!

Today we are sharing a duo of fun ghost cards by Zsofia that would be perfect to send to dog and cat lovers. 

To create these two fun cards, Zsofia stamps the cat, dog and little ghost from our Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set. She adds just a hint of blue to the edges of the images to give them a ghostly highlights. She also stamps the moon image twice, coloring it with light yellow highlights. She cut the images out with the coordinating Ghostly Good Times Die Set. 

For her cards, she started with simple white card bases and then inked fun blue halos in the centers using distress ink. She added some water splatters and a little bit of white paint splatter to give the sky some fun  texture. Then she added stars to the sky and the dog and cat themed halloween sentiments to finish out the cards. 

Here is the cat version:

And here is the dog version:

These cards are simple, yet so fun and spooky! What a perfect way to send a Halloween hello to a friend, especially one who likes dogs or cats!
