Newton's Stocking Gift Bag and Tag by Larissa Heskett

Stocking Kitty for Christmas!

Larissa has created an adorable gift tag and bag that is sure to help make a holiday gift feel special! 

To create this beautiful gift, she started out by stamping and coloring the image of the kitty in the stocking from our Newton's Stocking Stamp Set. She added some amazing details to her coloring with shading, stripes on the kitty and white gel pen accents. She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Stocking Die Set and added a little pom pom to the Santa hat.  She also adorned the stocking, adding a sprig of holly stamped from our A Kitten Christmas Stamp Set with a heart embellishment to replace the berries!

Here is a close-up so you can see all the details:

She added this fun image to a tag that was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She added a little circle tag to the larger tag using our Jolly Tags Stamp Set (cut out with the coordinating Tags Times Two Die Set). She embellished the top of the tag using a bunch of pretty ribbons! She also used patterned papers from our Canine Christmas Paper Pad and our Christmas Time Paper Pad. 

What a gorgeous Holiday creation! The recipient of this gift is sure to be wowed!

Here is what I created for the hop today:

Today I created this fun card using our new Meowy Christmas Paper Pad. If you didn't know, I am the creator at Newton's Nook Designs, and I design all the products in our shop. I have been wanting to create papers for a long time and I am super excited about adding these paper pads to our product line! I had so much fun creating all these fun patterns using Newton and Christmas colors! 

For my card today, I wanted to showcase some of these fun prints together. So I cut them into long strips and adhered them to a card front sized panel. Then I used our Framework Die Set to trim out the panel, giving it a fun postage edge. 

Next, I  used the sentiment "Santa Paws is coming" from our Newton's Stocking Stamp Set and stamped it onto a circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set.  I framed it with a second circle, cut from lime green paper using the same die set. Then a fun red ribbon adds a finishing touch. 

This card was really simple to make and would be easy to create multiples of for holiday cards! I hope you enjoyed it and will check out our new Paper Pads!

Time Fur Presents Meow Card by Maria Russell

Kitty Stocking Card!

It's almost time "fur" presents! Today we have and adorable kitty themed holiday card by Maria that is sure to make you smile! 

This card features that cute kitty in the stocking from our Newton's Stocking Stamp Set. Maria stamped the kitty in the stocking and some extra gifts and cut them out using the coordinating Newton's Stocking Die Set. She colored the images, giving the kitty fun fur stripes and adding glitter to the hat and stocking. She also stamped the image a second time onto the red zig zag patterned paper from our Meowy Christmas Paper Pad and fussy cut out the hat and stocking, layering them over her colored image to give a fun patterned appearance.  The sentiment "Time fur presents meow!" was then embossed in white onto black paper and layered over the stocking front. 

For the card base, she used a kraft colored paper and added a the argyle pattern using our two piece Argyle Stencil Set. This two piece set is perfect for making two color patterns but for this card Maria used white on both layers, which also looks really cool! She also added some fun holly to the side of the stocking, cutting out the holly leaves using our Pines & Holly Die Set from sparkly white paper! 

Don't you just love all the different tones of white and sparkle? What a fun way to add some frosty fun to a holiday card!

Santa Paws is Coming Card by Tina Herbeck

Kitty Themed Christmas Card!

Today Tina has created a lovely kitty themed Christmas card that is purr-fect for any cat lover!

For this fun card she started with the image of the kitty peeking out of the stocking from the Newton's Stocking Stamp Set. She colored the image in traditional holiday reds and added fun fur patterns to the gray kitty! Then she stamped the "Santa Paws is coming" sentiment onto the front of the stocking! So cute! The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's Stocking Die Set.

For her card base she layered two of the patterned papers from our new Meowy Christmas Paper Pad. In the back she used a two toned green stripe. In front of that she used our fun paw print pattern, cutting it out into a scalloped rectangle using our Frames & Flags Die Set. In the center she layered a big circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She added a little bit of blue the the circle center and layered that fun kitty image on top! 

In the upper left corner she added a fun shiny red bow and some branches that were die cut out using our Pines & Holly Die Set. And the final touch is the "Merry Christmas" sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays Stamp Set. She embossed it in white onto a black banner that was cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set. What a fun and festive card!

Christmas Gift Tag by Maria Russell

Holiday Cheers!

Have you started to think about holiday gifts? Today we have inspiration from Maria on how to dress up a gift of a bottle of wine to make it feel special!

To dress up this holiday bottle, Maria created a custom gift tag using our brand new holiday products. She started out by cutting a long rectangle from red cardstock. She added a fold line to create a tag that folds into two sections with the top section fitting over the top of the bottle.  She rounded all the corner s and then added patterned paper from our new Meowy Christmas Paper Pad onto both sections, also rounding the corners.  On the top section she cut out a circle so that the tag would fit over the bottle. On the bottom section she added that cute kitty peeking out of the stocking from our Newton's Stocking Stamp Set!

She colored the image, making the kitty orange and the hat a fun vibrant blue. Then she cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Stocking Die Set. She also stamped the image again onto the red and white striped paper from the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad and fussy cut out the stocking bottom, layering it over her first image to add some pattern to it! How fun! She also added some branches and a bow using our Pines & Holly Die Set and the "holiday cheers" sentiment onto the stocking front using our Christmas Cocktails Stamp Set! What a fun and festive way to dress up a holiday gift!
