A Happy Hello Card by Samantha Mann

Geometric Floral Card!

Today we are sharing a fun and happy floral card by Samantha!

This card features:
Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set
Cherry Blossoms Die Set
Heartfelt Butterflies Stamp Set
Hexagons Die Set
A7 Frames & Banners Die Set

I started out by die cutting a bunch of hexagons from white cardstock with the Hexagons Die Set. Then I ink blended each one in a rainbow of ink colors. I also splattered some white acrylic ink on top and then set them aside to dry. 

The Cherry Blossoms were heat embossed in black onto clear acetate and then die cut out with the coordinating dies. Some of the hexagons were popped up with foam tape and to finish the card, the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock and then die cut out with the banner from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.

I think (hope!) this card will cheer up anyone's day with it's bright colors and happy hello!

Apple Branch Card by Samantha Mann

Creating an Apple Tree Branch

Today we are sharing a gorgeous apple card by Samantha featuring our Autumn Apples Stamp Set and our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set

She created the gorgeous branch of apples using the apple image from the Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She stamped and colored the apple multiple times and cut the image out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. To create the branch she used the branch of blooms from our Cherry Blossoms Die Set. She stamped and colored this branch multiple times so that she had enough to span across her card. She cut the images out using the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set. She then arranged the apples and the floral branches across her card to create the look of a loaded down apple branch! So cool! 

She wanted a few more little leaves so she used the tiny leaf stamp from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set, coloring the images and cutting them out using the coordinating Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set. She added the little leaves onto the branch and then spritzed it all with a bit of white paint for a bit of texture. 

She layered everything over a beautiful smoky background that she had created with alcohol inks. The apples really pop over the black!

We love the way Samantha mixed and matched the stamps together to create a unique and beautiful card!

Cherry Blossoms Circle Card by Diane Morales

Enjoy every moment! 

Have you ever created a shaped card? Today's card by Diane is sure to inspired you to do so! She has created a gorgeous circle card featuring our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set and Circle Frames Die Set.

She created this beautiful card by cutting out two circles using our Circle Frames Die Set from pink cardstock, creating a card base with them. On the front circle she stamped the floral blooms from our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set, using a pink ink that was slightly darker than the card to give it a fun tone-on-tone look. 

Then she stamped and colored the same beautiful floral blooms from our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set twice. She left the blooms white but added soft pinks to the centers for a light and airy look. 

She used the sentiment from the Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set, stamping it onto a small rectangle that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set. She added some glitter to the edges of the shape and a few pink gems around the flowers to add a bit of sparkle. 

We love shaped cards and we hope this card as inspired you to create some of your own! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project.

Hyacinth Thank You Card by Special Guest Brennan Keane

Today we a special guest post to share. We are featuring more inspiring work from the talented young Brennan Keane!  

Hi everyone! If you don’t know me, my name is Brennan Keane, and I’m a floral-obsessed seventeen-year-old teenage boy cardmaker (which is definitely a mouthful). Newton’s Nook Designs was the first company I ever designed for, so I’m beyond excited to be back as a guest designer!

For today’s card, I’m working with the brand-new Hyacinth Stamp Set. I stamped three of these gorgeous florals and colored them up with Copics. For the flowers, I used V17, V15, and V12, with V09 for the centers. For the leaves and stems, I went with YG17, G24, and G21.

Next up is the background! I kept it super simple with some soft ink blending, using the leftover blue and green ink on my blending brushes to mimic the sky and ground.

I used the coordinating Hyacinth Die to cut out the flowers and popped them up with a little foam tape for dimension. For the sentiment, I chose “thank you,” which is also included in the Hyacinth Stamp Set.

Instead of just gluing the card front onto a plain white base, I stepped it up by using a deep aqua cardstock and doing some tone-on-tone stamping with the Cherry Blossoms Stamp. It’s a subtle detail, but I love the extra depth it adds!

Thanks so much for taking the time to check out my post. I absolutely love guest designing for Newton’s Nook and am so grateful to be asked back. Huge thanks to Jen for another opportunity!

Hope you all have an amazing day and happy crafting!

Cherry Blossoms Card by Larissa Heskett

Thinking of You Card with Cherry Blossoms!

Today Larissa has created a gorgeous card filled with cherry blossoms that is perfect for letting someone know they are in your thoughts!

To create this beautiful card she began by stamping the branch of cherry blossoms from our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set onto a white panel with a stitched edge that was cut out using our Basic Frames Die Set. She stamped the image twice and embossed it in white. She then inked over the blooms using pinks greens and browns. She added glitter and a gem to the center of each of the flowers to add a fun bit of sparkle. 

Next, she cut out a scallop edged frame using our Frames & Flags Die Set with the pink gingham patterned paper from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad. This pretty pink paper coordinates perfectly with the image and she layered it behind to frame it. 

Last, she stamped the "thinking of you" message onto a circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set and layered it onto the card front. 

What a beautiful way to send caring thoughts to a friend or family member! So gorgeous!
