Summer Moments Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle


Hello, folks!
Today is my final post as guest designer and I have had an absolute BLAST working with these fabulous stamps, dies, and stencils! I have been a Newton's Nook Dedsigns fan from Day 1 and I am quite certain that will never change!

Summer Moments Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Summer Moments Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

For today's card, I pulled out the gorgeous Summer Moments Stamp Set once again. I kept this one fairly simple; stamping on watercolor paper and then painting the image with watercolors. I can't wait to have my toes in the sand again!

Summer Moments Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Summer Moments Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

I mounted the stamped and painted panel on a kraft card base and added just a bit of iridescent string to the top and a few sequins for a touch of shimmer. This one just makes me want to take that deep breath. Inhale, Exhale, breath.

I hope you have a truly wonderful day!

Poinsettia Christmas

It's never too early to think about Holiday crafting! If you like to get a jump start on holiday cards, this card by Ellen is sure to give you some inspiration! She even used some retiring products that are on sale right now, a great incentive to go shopping and get ahead on Holiday cards!

This lovely card features the pretty flowers from our retiring Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set. She colored the beautiful cluster of floral blooms in traditional colors and used the coordinating Poinsettia Blooms Die Set to cut it out. She also colored and cut out a bunch of extra leaves and holly that she placed around the bottom of the image. 

For the fun circle card shape, she used our Circle Frames Die Set to cut out the layers of circles. On the center layer she added a fun tree pattern using our retiring Tiny Trees Stencil. The "Merry Christmas" sentiment was stamped from the The Nutcracker Squeak Stamp Set and added above the image. So fun and festive!

A Brew-tiful Day Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle

Newton's Nook Designs Guest Designer, Jennifer Ingle

Hello, folks! 
I am super excited to be here today with my third card to share with you all! So, before we had a child my husband and I were not huge coffee drinkers. We went without a coffee pot for a very long time, but eventually did end up buying a Chemex because we wanted to use it occasionally and it is SO gorgeous and makes SUPER delicious coffee. Also, they are a Massachusetts based company, which makes my heart happy. And then... we had a kid. We drink a lot more coffee. Like... a LOT. more. coffee. But, alas, we still adore that Chemex and it is still the only coffee maker we own. 

Which is why when I saw the Time For Coffee Stamp Set I got VERY excited! It's my coffee pot!!! YAY!!!!

Brew-tiful Day Coffee Card by Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Time for Coffee Stamp Set and Argyle Stencil Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
Naturally, I had to use that stamp to create a super fun coffee card. I also pulled in the Argyle Stencil Set to create a coordinating border to ground out the design. I love that creamy tan color with the red over it! It just pops and the stencil set made it so easy to achieve that look! 
Brew-tiful Day Coffee Card by Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Time for Coffee Stamp Set and Argyle Stencil Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

I stamped and embossed the sentiment on a simple cardstock strip to finish off the design. 

Now, I need a cup of coffee. You should have one, too!

Sea You at the Beach Card by February Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle


Hello, friends! This is Jennifer Ingle here again with a card I'm hoping makes you feel the warmth of the sun just a little bit. Living in a coastal town just south of Boston means I see a lot of winter. Around this time of year, I tend to start dreaming of glorious beach days in the warm sunshine with my toes in the sand and a cool drink in my hand. I had to pull out the Summer Moments Stamp Set and coordinating die set to bring me there!

Beach Card by Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set and Summer Moments Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

I stamped my image and colored it entirely in grey scale as I knew I wanted that gorgeous Retro Sun & Palms Stencil to shine as the background of the card. I love how cool this image looks in black and white against that beautiful warm toned sunset.

Beach Card by Guest Designer Jennifer Ingle | Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set and Summer Moments Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

I used ink blending brushes along with the stencil to create the sunshine with yellows, oranges, and a pinky sort of red tone. The sentiment is stamped directly over the ink blending in black in to make it really pop.

Sigh... those beach days will be here soon enough. And for now, I guess I'll try to enjoy the snow!

Have a great day!
