Fall Themed Cards and a Fond Farewell to Maria Russell

Fall is in the Air!

Today we are sharing two fun fall cards by Maria using some of our brand new Fall products! 

For her first card she features that sweet kitty in the wheelbarrow full of pumpkins from our new Newton's Harvest Time Stamp Set. She colors the image in gorgeous fall neutral tones and adds white gel pen accents. She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's  Harvest Time Die Set.

For her card, she uses several of the fun prints from our Autumn Paper Pad to create both background strips and to cut out leaves using our Autumn Leaves Die Set. What a fun way to combine the fall shapes and prints together! She layers the papers and leaves behind a scallop edged circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. What a fabulous fall creation!

For her second card she features the yummy caramel apples from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set:

She stamped and colored a trio of caramel apples that look good enough to eat! She cut them out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. For her card she added a tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She adds teal polka dot patterns using our Autumn Paper Pad to frame the top and bottom of the tag. In the center she adds the sentiment "You're the caramel to my apple" from our Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She adds some mustard yellow colored polka dot paper to add a perfect background that ties in with the caramel color on the apples! For this she again uses our Autumn Paper Pad and adds a postage die cut edge using our Framework Die Set. 

What a fabulous color combo for Fall! Who is in the mood for a caramel apple treat now!?

A Fond Farewell

We are sad to say that this project marks the LAST post for Maria Russell as part of our Design Team at Newton's Nook Designs! We have enjoyed having Maria on our team and are sad to see go! Maria such a unique talent for combining dies, papers, and stamped images in ways we never would have thought of! Her creative twists always delights us! We know we will continue to be inspired by her in the future and we wish her the very best in her future creative endeavors! 

Thank you so much, Maria, for the awesome inspiration! We'll miss you!
