Floral Thank You Card by Larissa Heskett

Beautiful Blooms for a Cheerful Thank You!

Today we are sharing a gorgeous thank you card by Larissa! She used a bunch of our favorite floral sets to create whole garden of blooms!  

Larissa cut out a stitched rectangle using our Basic Frames Die Set. She used this as a background for her main images, making it into a scene by inking the bottom in brown and the top in blue. She added fun blue and black paint splatters for a bit of texture. Then she added on all of her flowers to the scene. She stamped and colored flowers from several different sets. She used the beautiful bloom from our Hyacinth Stamp Set for the centerpiece of her garden. Then she added sunflowers on each side from our Autumn Fields Stamp Set. She also layered in a little tulip from our Easter Postage Sampler Stamp Set and little flowers and butterflies from Newton's Blooms Stamp Set.  This creates such a beautiful garden! 

Under all of the blooms she added the thank you sentiment from the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set. The message was stamped and embossed in white onto a black banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set

Last, she layered everything onto a fun blue check pattern from our Bright Basics Paper Pad. She cut the paper out using our Framework Die Set to give it the fun postage edge. What a beautiful floral card!

Spring Tulip Card by Larissa Heskett

Tulips to Brighten Your Day!

Today we are sharing a sweet spring hello by Larissa featuring our Tulips Stamp Set. 

For this lovely card, Larissa stamped and colored the pretty bundle of flowers from our Tulips Stamp Set. She colored the tulips yellow and added little highlights with a white gel pen. She also stamped and colored the butterfly from the same set and cut the images out using the coordinating Tulips Die Set.

She next cut out a circle using our Circle Frames Die Set. She used masking to create a green edge and a blue sky with ink blending. She also cut out a scalloped circle using the same die set but this time with a pretty green printed paper from our Springtime Paper Pack. She layered the circles together and placed the tulips and butterfly on top. 

For her card background she used the tulip print from the Springtime Paper Pack, cutting it to fit just inside the edge of her white card base. Then she layered the circle over the top, letting it extend past the edge of the tulip paper and cutting off the excess area. 

Last, she added the sentiment from the Hyacinth Stamp Set to make this card into a happy hello! 

This cheerful spring card is sure to bring a smile to the recipients face!

Happy Hyacinth Hello Card by Samantha Mann

Send a Happy Hello!

Do you know someone who needs a little happiness? Make their day by sending a happy hello! Today we are sharing a card by Samantha featuring our Hyacinth Stamp Set that is perfect for sending smiles!

To create this card Samantha stamped the big floral bloom from our Hyacinth Stamp Set multiple times. She colored all the blooms in bright bold purples using watercolor markers. Then she added white paint splatters over the top for a fun texture. She cut out all the blooms to create a whole garden of flowers on her card! 

Next, she used our Petite Flowers Stencil with white texture paste along the upper corner and down the right side of her background. Then she inked on the opposite side with purple, fading it onto the stenciled area.  

She layered her flowers over the top of the background, using dimensional adhesive on some of them to create a bit of height. She also cut one of the flowers into two pieces and split it, adhering one piece on each edge. Such a fun effect! 

The finishing touch was the sentiment, which she embossed in white onto a circle that was cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. She then blended green inks over the top to tie it in with the color of the flower stems. 

We hope you have been inspired by this card to create some floral cards and send them to friends! Everyone needs to be sent some flowers now and then!

Simple Sparkly Shaker Card by Farhana Sarker

A Simple Sparkly Shaker Card!

Today Farhana is sharing a how to create a fun and simple shaker card using our Daisies Die Set!

She started with a white card front panel and cut out two rows of daisy silhouettes using our Daisies Die Set. She also cut out black daisy centers and set them aside. She stamped the sentiment from the Hyacinth Stamp Set in the corner of the bottom white panel. 

Next, she took a second card panel and inked it with shades of pink and orange to layer behind the daisies. 

In between the two layers, she created a flat shaker pocket using a piece of thin plastic, leftover from a product packaging. Inside the pocket she added glitter that sparkles when the recipient shakes the card. The white panels were adhered on top of the glitter pocket and she glued on the black daisy centers too. 

A bonus of this technique is that the thin pocket and glitter only shaker make this card light, flat and easy to mail! 

We hope you enjoyed this fun way to create a simple shaker card with recycled materials and glitter!

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!

Bee-utiful Day Card by Diane Morales

It's a BEE-utiful Day!

Spring is the perfect time to send someone wishes for a BEE-utiful day! Today we are sharing a card by Diane that combines our Hyacinth and Beekeeper Newton stamp sets for a charming spring scene. 

She started out by coloring the gorgeous blooms from our Hyacinth Stamp Set in shades of purple. Then she decided to combine the blooms with the cute kitty in the beekeeper outfit from our Beekeeper Newton Stamp Set. She colored the images of Newton, the beehive and lots of little bees to add to her scene. 

To create the scene she started with a blue card base and sprinkled it with light blue ink splatters. Then she cut out grassy hills to place along the bottom using one of the wave dies from our Sea Borders Die Set with green paper. She assembled the card pieces, layering the big Hyacinth blooms behind the hills. The big size of the blooms makes them look like flower filled spring trees behind the beekeeper! What a fun idea!

Hope you enjoyed our inspiration today! To see more creations by Diane, you can visit on her blog, 2sisters project.
