Two Kitty Cards by Special Guest Karen Letchworth

Today we are excited to be featuring two adorable kitty cards by special guest Karen Letchworth


Newton's Nook Designs | Special Guest
Hello, friends of Newton.  My name is Karen Letchworth, and I'm tickled pink to be a Guest Designer for Newton's Nook Designs.  I've been such a fan of Newton's Nook art for a very long time.  What a treat it is to create with these adorable products.

Hang in there Cat Card by Guest Designer Karen Letchworth | Newton Hangs Out Stamp Set, Pastel Basics Paper Pad and Frames & Tags Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

My first card was created using white cardstock and patterned papers from the Pastels Basics 6x6 Paper Pad and the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad that I machine stitched together.  I used a piece of white cardstock that I inked, splattered and stamped with sentiments found in the adorable Newton Hangs Out Stamp Set.  I colored the image with my Copics and used the coordinating Newton Hangs Out Dies to cut the adorable tree holding Newton.

I used the Frames & Tags Die Set to cut the little tags that I cut from scraps of the patterned papers listed above.  I clipped them together with a Tim Holtz Clip and added some Baker's Twine.  I like adding small accents like this, and my Newton's Nook inventory is sparse.  This is me trying to be creative with what I've got.

To be honest with you all, I could have gone crazy ordering cute stamp/die sets from Newton's Nook.  They carry SO many adorable sets, and these cards just came together so easily because of how adorable all these images are.  You really can't go wrong with these darling and super fun stamps.  So anyway, the next stamp/die set I chose to work with for my Guest Design spot with Newton's Nook is their sweet Newton's Birdhouse.

Once again, I used white cardstock for the base of the card.  I used the same two paper pads - the Pastels Basics 6x6 Paper Pad and the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad that I machine stitched together in creating my base.  Similar to my first card, I cut a smaller piece of water watercolor paper that I inked on to create a messy background.

I used the adorable Newton's Birdhouse Stamp Set to stamp the darling Newton and birdhouse images.  I colored these images using my Copics.  I cut the image using the coordinating Newton's Birdhouse Dies.  The smaller images (birds and hearts) are also found in this same set, so I stamped and cut several small images for the background of the second card.  I used the Frames & Tags Die Set again to cut the small tags from paper scraps.

THANK YOU to Newton's Nook Designs for the opportunity to Guest Design for your amazing company.  I will be sharing this post on my Personal Blog and Instagram Page that I'd love to have you visit.  Newton and I wish you all a wonderfully creative and happy week.

Blessings,

Cheerful Daisy Card by Jennifer Jackson

Cheerful Daisy Card by Jennifer Jackson | Daisy Die Set, Fractured Card Layout Die Set, Spring Blooms Paper Pad, Bright Basics Paper Pad and  by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Cheerful Daisy Hello

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun card using our Daisies Die Set that is perfect for a spring hello!

For this card I started by cutting out a trio of daises using our Daisies Die Set. Next, I picked paper to match the yellow of the daisy. I decided on the yellow flower paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad and the green heart paper from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad. I cut these papers out using our Fractured Card Layout Die. I also cut out a white border and blue center using the same Fractured Card Layout Die.

I stamped the fun sentiment from the Hyacinth Stamp Set onto the blue center and then assembled all the pieces of together. I added the daises on each side frame the sentiment.

This fun card is perfect for sending a cheerful spring hello and was so easy to make using the fun die cuts!

I Be-Leaf in You Card by Samantha Mann

I Be-Leaf in You Card by Samantha Mann | Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set, Lattice Die Set and Petite Flowers Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Be-LEAF in You!

Today Samantha pairs our Lattice Die Set and Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set to create an adorable card that is perfect for sending encouragement!

First she colored that naughty kitty getting into trouble from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set. She adds pink cheeks and stripes to the kitty for fun detail and trims it out using the Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set

For her card background she first stenciled a green panel using our Petite Flowers Stencil. She creates a tone on tone look, using green ink over a light green paper. This ties in with the plant theme so perfectly! 

Over the top she layers a fun panel that was created using our Lattice Die Set. Before cutting it out she inked the panel with shades of brown distress ink and brown and white splatters to add more fun detail!

Some-Bunny Special Tag by Diane Morales

Some-Bunny Special Tag by Diane Morales | Hop into Spring Stamp Set, Bookmark II Die Set and Spring Garden Line Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

For Some-bunny Special! 

Today we are sharing an adorable spring tag by Diane featuring our Spring Garden Line Stencil and Hop Into Spring Stamp Set.

Diane created her tag using the Bookmark II Die Set. To make the bookmark into a shorter tag she just trimmed off the bottom of the die cut shape. Next she used the daffodil shapes from our Spring Garden Line Stencil in rows across the tag. This stencil has rows of daffodils, tulips and stems but for her project today she used only the daffodils. She stenciled them in shades of yellow with a little green thrown in for fun!

Next she stamped and colored the cute bunny from our Hop Into Spring Stamp Set. The bunny holding the daffodil matches perfectly with the daffodils on the stenciled background! It's the perfect combination of spring images! 

For the sentiment she chose "You're some-bunny special!" from the Hop Into Spring Stamp Set.

This sweet spring tag would be perfect for adding onto a sweet spring gift or bouquet of spring flowers!

Cheerful Daisy Card by Larissa Heskett

Cheerful Daisy Card by Larissa Heskett | Floral Delights Stamp Set, Basic Frames Die Set and  Frames & Tags Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Cheerful Daisy Card!

Today we are sharing a beautiful floral card by Larissa that uses our Floral Delights Stamp Set with simple ink blending! This is a technique you will definitely want to try! 

Larissa starts out by stamping the tall daisy image from our Floral Delights Stamp Set several times onto white cardstock, embossing the blooms with white embossing powder.  Then she uses various distress inks and small blending brushes to add color to the blooms. You don't have to be perfect with the color application, just blend around the outlines to give a fun halo effect.

Isn't it gorgeous how the white outlines pop once the color is added over the top?

Next she cuts the pretty panel out using our Basic Frames Die Set to give it a fun stitched edge. She layers it over a fun pink polka dot paper from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad that was cut out using our Frames & Tags Die Set to give it the zig zag edge.

Last she added the sentiment from our Daffodils Stamp Set onto a circle cut out with our Circle Frames Die Set
