Crafty Math-Chick used the the bunny in her cheerleader outfit from our Touchdown Tails stamp set! It's so cute how she gave her a hot pink uniform and pom-pom, complete with glittery eyeshadow! This card is so perfect to give a little girl - or anyone who loves pink! It's also a spinner card, so the bunny spins back and forth across the "Happy Birthday" Message! So cool!

Bunny Week Cards - day 1:

Today we have bunny inspiration from Jess and Lydia!

Happy Easter Cards with Bunny by Jess Gerstner | Garden Whimsy Stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #easter

Jess created two fun cards using our Garden Whismy stamp set! I love how she used the same design on both, creating a fun background using the smaller leaf and flower from this set. Yet they look so different, just because of the colors she used! Super fun! She also used our Simply Seasonal stamp set for the "Happy easter" sentiment. 


Plant Smiles Kraft colored card with Bunny by Lydia Evans | Garden Whimsy Stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #bunny

Lydia also used the bunny from our Garden Whismy stamp set. For her card, she stamped the bunny with white ink on kraft colored cardstock and colored her with colored pencils! Isn't this so pretty? I love the soft pastel effect this has! She added in the "plant smiles" sentiment, also from the from our Garden Whismy stamp set. 

Hope you enjoyed our bunny projects today! Don't forget to go and vote for your favorite name and a chance to win our new set next week!

Pink Baking Card by Jennifer Jackson

Pink Baking Card by Jennifer Jackson | Made from Scratch Stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

Doing any Baking this Weekend?

Hello and Happy Friday! Today I'm sharing a fun card that I made with using our Made from Scratch stamp set. I am really enjoying this new stamp set - it makes me want to go in the kitchen and bake some cookies! I hardly ever do any baking but this adorable set definitely puts me in the mood!! LOL!  

To create this card, I stamped the oven mitt, spatula and wooden spoon on one side of a piece of watercolor paper and the sentiment "Bake, Stir, Sprinkle, Mix" on the other side with waterproof ink. Then I colored them with shades of pink, grey, and brown using zig clean color markers. Then I added some distress ink to the edges. 

Pink Baking Card by Jennifer Jackson | Made from Scratch Stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

To finish the card I layered it with some pink polka dot patterned paper, some heart washi tape and a pink doily! I love how this turned out. It's also nice to have cards like this in your stash that are not specific to an occasion. They're prefect for sending out to just say hello but you could also use it for a birthday or thank you card, just add a sentiment on the inside!

Hope you enjoyed this card today! If you want to add this set to your collection, you can find the  Made from Scratch stamp set and coordinating Made from Scratch Die Set for sale at newtonookdesigns online shop

Labrador dog card by Stephanie Muzzulin | Fetching Friendship dog stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

Lab-adorable!

Dog lovers will be in love with this adorable card by Stephanie today! She used our cute labrador from the Fetching Friendship stamp set as her focal point. I love the soft colors on the doggies fur mixed with the bright teal scarf! She also used the "lab-adore you" sentiment from this set, stamping it into a cloud image.
