2024 National Coffee Day Blog Hop

I you like coffee you are going to LOVE this blog hop! There are so may fun stops on this hop featuring coffee themed cards you are sure to be inspired! There will be prizes too on most of the stops! Read all the way to the end of this post for details on the giveaway from us at Newton's Nook Designs and a link to all the stops.

To celebrate National Coffee Day I am sharing a set of coffee themed cards that I created:

To create this card set I started out with our Natural Basics Paper Pad and Fractured Card Layout Die Set.

I chose four patterns from the paper and cut them out using the Fractured Card Layout Die Set. I used the same die set again on brown and white to create the inside frame and the white centers.

Now I had four perfect spots to add in coffee themed sentiments and images!

Card 1:

This card uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Card 2:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and book die cuts created with our Bookmark II Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 3:

This card also uses coffee die cuts created with our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set. The sentiment is from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

Card 4:

This card also uses the coffee grinder image and sentiment from our Time for Coffee Stamp Set.

I've also created a video sharing how I created these cards!

I absolutely adore how this turned out! Here are images of the products that I used today:

Nine Lives & How to Spend Them Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Create a Scene with Die Cuts!

Most of us make cards with stamping as the main focus, but creating a card with mostly die cutting is a very fun and creative way to create a card with a twist! Today we are sharing a card by Ellen has created using several of our favorite die sets to inspire you!

Ellen started by die cutting the stitched rectangle using our Basic Frames Die Set. This will be the panel for her scene. She inks up the panel in warm orange and yellow distress inks and adds a bit of splatter to make it into a stunning sunset or sunrise sky. Next, she cuts a piece for the ground using our Land Borders Die Set, inking it up with shades of brown and adding lots of splatter for texture.

Once she has her setting in place, she adds a stack of books to the center of the scene using the book images that come with our Bookmark II Die Set. She uses our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to add the trees, leaves and the little bird that is perched on the speech bubble.  The little hearts and speech bubble is from the Speech Bubbles Die Set. Inside the speech bubble she embossed a message from our Newton's Reading List Stamp Set. This sentiment works perfectly with the theme of the card! So fun!  

Then she adds a cat using our Cat Silhouettes Die Set and a the warm cup of cocoa or coffee from the Coffee Silhouettes Die Set.  To finish the scene she frames it with a soft pink zig zag edged frame, die cut using our Frames & Tags Die Set.

We hope you are inspired by this gorgeous scene that Ellen created using mostly die cuts! To see this card with dogs and a nighttime theme, check out Ellen's post from last week! There are so many options! We hope you are inspired to try creating a scene using dies in your craft room!

2024 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!

Today we are playing along with the Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Hop!

There will be prizes too on most of the stops! Read all the way to the end of this post for details on the giveaway from us at Newton's Nook Designs and a link to all the stops. 

For our stop on the hop we are featuring a fun coffee themed card by Larissa:

For this beautiful card Larissa used several of our fun coffee themed products. She started by die cutting that to go coffee mug using our Coffee Silhouettes Die Set. She then added ink blending to the different pieces of the travel mug and assembled them together. Next, she used a piece of patterned paper that was filled with coffee beans from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad and cut it into a scalloped heard using our Heart Frames Die Set.  She also die cut a tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She layered the heart and the coffee mug onto the tag, inking a light blue halo behind them. She also added the message "Thanks a LATTE" from our Heartfelt Coffee Stamp Set along the bottom of the tag. 

For her card she chose a light blue card base, matching the light blue halo on the tag. Then she layered a red polka dotted rectangle on top using a patterned paper from our Canine Christmas Paper Pad. She added the tag on top, tying a bunch of pretty ribbon through the top.

What a fun way to send a special thank you! This would also make a perfect gift if you paired it with a mug or bag of coffee!

Here is a look at the coffee themed products Larissa used today: Coffee House Stories Paper Pad,  Coffee Silhouettes Die Set and Heartfelt Coffee Stamp Set.
