Sweet Fruit card by Christine Drogt!

Sweet Fruit Card by Christine! 

Today I'm sharing this fun fruit card by Christine Drogt using our new Sweet Summer set! She simply stamped all the fruit on different patterned papers and fussy cut them out. I love how the patterned papers really give the card fun pops of color without having to color! I know not everyone out there likes to color so this is another great way to use our stamps!

And a Sweet Farewell to Christine! 

Sadly, this is our SECOND goodbye this week!  This post marks Christine's last project for the Newton's Nook Designs Team! We have had so much fun having Christine on our team for the last six months! Her clean and simple style is so eye-catching and has really brought a new level of fun to our stamps!

In case you haven't  heard the news yet, Christine is moving on to do her VERY OWN stamp designs! We wish her ALL THE BEST and know her designs will be super fun! We are super excited for her and can't wait to see what she creates! She has a few sneak peeks and a couple free digital downloads on her new company blog -  Create a Smile. Make sure to check it out! 

Inky Paws Challenge #11 starts tomorrow! 

Make sure to check back tomorrow to see our new Inky Paws challenge!

Beautiful Card sets with Guest Designer Ria Montefalcon!

Sweet Summer Card Sets!

Today I get to share some awesome card sets created by our June Guest Designer, Ria Montefalcon!  Ria created two adorable sweet and simple card sets using our new Sweet Summer fruit stamp set! These cards showcase a great way to use all the fruit images in this set!

For the first set she paper-pierced the fruit onto different patterned paper scraps and fussy cut them out. Then she added them to her cards with washi tape along the bottoms! So adorable! And what a great way to use up those patterned paper scraps you've been hoarding!!

For the second set she simply stamped them in black and scribbled fun color over them with markers! So simple and so fun! You could do this with watercolors too! What a fun and easy to create gift for anyone! 

Thanks so much Ria for the fun, inspiration today! If you haven't checked our her blog -  heart for handmade -  make you to head over and say hello! It's loaded with beautiful projects!
