Plant-astic Kitty Card by Zsofia Molnar

Plant-astic Kitty Card by Zsofia Molnar | Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set, Succulent Garden Stamp Set and Slimline Die Sets by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Plant-astic Kitties!

Today Zsofia a fun plant themed card featuring our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set

For this card she started by stamping the image of the kitty in the basket from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set. She stamped the image twice and colored the leaves and baskets the same but gave the kitties different colors. So cute! She cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set

For her card she created a slimline card layout. She used the scallop edged die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set for the bright teal panel. Then she used the die with three windows from our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set to cut a yellow-green frame and layered that over the top. She placed a kitty on each side, leaving the center for the sentiment. For the sentiment she chose to use the "you're Plant-astic" from our  Succulent Garden Stamp Set. What a great combination! 

Here are close-ups of both sides of the card so you can see the lovely coloring on those kitties:

Orchids Card by Samantha Mann

Orchid Card by Samantha Mann | Orchids Stamp Set, Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, Trailing Leaves Stencil and Banner Trio Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Beautiful Orchids! 

Do you love orchids? We always have an orchid in our house as they are one of our favorite flowers! Today we are sharing a gorgeous card by Samantha featuring our beautiful Orchids Stamp Set. She stamped the blooms twice so that she could combine them to create a lovely tall orchid. She colored the blooms in stunning shades of pink and used the coordinating Orchids Die Set to cut them out. 
Orchid Card by Samantha Mann | Orchids Stamp Set, Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, Trailing Leaves Stencil and Banner Trio Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
For her card base she created a beautiful leafy background using our Trailing Leaves Stencil with distress inks. She layered the flowers on top and then added white paint splatters to the whole card front for a fun bit of texture. She also added a fun black and white washi tape up the side for a fun detail. 

For the card message she chose a sentiment from our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set and embossed it in white onto a banner that was die cut using our Banner Trio Die Set. Isn't it fun how this banner pops the sentiment up? So cool.

Bright Birthday Mouse Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Bright Birthday Mouse Card by Ellen Haxelmans | Birthday Mice Stamp Set, Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set, Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates, Banner Duo Die Set and Scene building Die Sets by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Happy Birthday Mouse!

Today Ellen has created an adorable mouse themed birthday card!

This fun card features the mouse with the gifts and cheese above his head from our Birthday Mice Stamp Set. So cute! She colored the image, adding fun little speckles to the mouse for texture and cut the image out using the coordinating Birthday Mice Die Set. She also adds bits of candy using our Newton's Candy Cane Stamp SeSee below for full color breakdown and details on how to create this adorable scene!  

She also used our brand new Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and our Banner Duo Die Set to create the lovely shiny birthday message in the banner! What a gorgeous bit of sparkle!

Here are some tips from Ellen on how to create this adorable card:
Bright Birthday Mouse Card by Ellen Haxelmans | Birthday Mice Stamp Set, Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set, Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates, Banner Duo Die Set and Scene building Die Sets by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

  • (Left photo above): First I die cut the largest frame of the Frames & Flags Die Set and used the Clouds Stencil to create a pretty background. I start inking the panel at the bottom (tip: start blending of the edge of the stencil for the best results and a smoother blend). Once you have inked the first cloud, move the stencil up and start inking again and keep repeating this until you have filled the panel.

  • (center photo above): Here you can see I die cut the largest frame again and then cut it again using the Land Borders Die Set. Next I inked it so it looks like sand. Later I die cut 3 clouds with the Sky Scene Builder Die Set. I also foiled the sentiment with the new Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates!
    Turn on your hot foil machine and let it warm up. Lay your hot foil plate on the machine and trim your foil a little bigger than your hot foil plate. When the green button of the machine turns on, place the foil pretty side down on top of the plate. Than you place your cardstock on top. As the last step you place the shim and acrylic plate on top of the cardstock. After pressing the timer button, the light slowly will stop blinking, now you can roll the sandwich through a die cutting machine.

  •  (right photo above): Here I colored the images. I used the Birthday Mice Stamp Set and Birthday Mice Die Set & Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set for the candies.

    COPIC COLOR SWATCH:
    Violet: RV34, RV32, RV00
    Purple: V04, V01, V00
    Brown: E25, E23, E21
    Yellow: YR18, YR13, YR06, YR20
    Teal: BG49, BG15, BG32, BG11, BG10

CatPURRccino Card by Amanda Wilcox

Cat Purr-ccino Card by Amanda Wilcox | Newton's Mug Stamp Set, Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, Frames & Flags Die Set and Frames Squared Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Cat PURR-ccino!

Love coffee and cats? Then you will love this card by Amanda!

This adorable kitty themed card features the image of Newton peeking out of a giant coffee mug from our Newton's Mug Stamp Set. This image has a blank mug but Amanda carefully masked off the edges and stamped the floral image from our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set to cover the mug in a flower pattern! Here's a closer look:
Cat Purr-ccino Card by Amanda Wilcox | Newton's Mug Stamp Set, Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, Frames & Flags Die Set and Frames Squared Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
So cool! We love the idea of customizing this mug for any occasion by adding images to the front! She colored the image in fun soft colors and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set

For her card base she used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a piece of floral paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and also a white scalloped frame. She layered these together to make a fun background for the mug. She also added that fun decorative square, cut from vellum, using our  Frames Squared Die Set. Love all the layers! 
Cat Purr-ccino Card by Amanda Wilcox | Newton's Mug Stamp Set, Floral Roundabout Stamp Set, Frames & Flags Die Set and Frames Squared Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
To finish off this amazing card she adds the "cat PURR-ccino" sentiment from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set, adding it to the circle from the  Frames Squared Die Set. She also adds a cute clay heart embellishment and some lovely striped twine.

Happy Hello Card by Maria Russell

Happy Hello Card by Maria Russell | Birdhouse Greetings Stamp Set, Smitten Kittens Stamp Set and Land Borders Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

A Happy Hello!

Today we are PAW-sing to share a happy greeting by Maria

This sweet creation combines our new Birdhouse Greetings Stamp Set with the adorable kitten from our Smitten Kitten Stamp Set. She stamped and colored both the images with alcohol markers, adding little dot patterns to the kitties fur and white gel pen accents to both images to give them beautiful details! She cut the images out with the coordinating Birdhouse Greetings Die Set and Smitten Kitten Die Set. Here's a close up so you can see the gorgeous coloring:

Happy Hello Card by Maria Russell | Birdhouse Greetings Stamp Set, Smitten Kittens Stamp Set and Land Borders Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
For the card background she ink blended the sky using distress inks in several colors and then added white and colored paint splatters for a fun bit of texture. The sentiment from the Smitten Kitten Stamp Set was stamped into the sky and is purr-fect for wishing someone a happy day! The finishing element to scene is an edge of grass that was cut out using our Land Borders Die Set from some green flocked paper for another bit of texture! So amazing!
