It's going to be such a fun week!  Any guesses as to what other images will be in these sets? 

Sharing some Winston Love Today!

I just LOVE Winston!

Isn't he so fun? Our Bear, Winston, is one of my favorite stamps to color - and this set, Winston's Birthday is so great - I've made a bunch of birthday cards with it already and I can see it staying in my favorites for sure!  For this first card I just colored Winston holding the fish  with copics and then added the sentiment "grin and bear it" in the card corner. Then I added some patterned paper, washi tape and bakers twine (my 3 MUST-HAVE card add-ons).

 I also added some enamel dots that I made by melting plastic beads (see papercrafts article here) . Oh, and the "another Birthday" was stamped on some bright yellow-green paper and added on as a flag! I LOVE how this turned out!

More Winston!
And another card featuring Winston! For this one I stamped him on watercolor paper and colored him with Inktense Watercolor pencils (Love these). I stamped the hat on a scrap so I could cut it out and "pop" it off his head! 

This card also uses some fun patten papers and bakers twine! I also used a border punch to create the fun scalloped edge!

Hope you enjoyed these fun Bear Birthday cards today! 

Here's the whole Winston's Birthday set - It's a fun little 3x4 set packed with lots of options!

Happy Father's Day with Winston!

Happy Father's Day!

I realized I haven't share these two Father's Day cards yet so I'm popping in quick to share them today! I hope that everyone is having a great Father's Day today and maybe enjoying a nice cook-out like Winston! 

Both cards were created with the Winston's BBQ stamp set and feature Winston Grilling out some Father's day Burgers! First I colored him with Copics and then added on added some fun homemade enamel dots and polka dot paper!  I liked adding the sentiment in a little "flag". 

For the second card I added on the #1 DAD sentiment and a fun wooden arrow and some gray patterned paper and thin red and tan washi tape. I used Copics to color the image. Both cards are pretty simple and so easy to make once you finish the coloring.

Here's the whole set- you can purchase it in the Newton's Nook Designs online shop. 

Father's Day Grill out with Larissa Heskett

 

Fun Father's Day card with Larissa!

Design Team Member Larissa Heskett is sharing this Fun card today - Just in time for Father's Day this Weekend!  She used the BBQ  from our Winston's BBQ sets  with the frame and arrows from the Around the House set to create this fun colorful card! I love that arrow background pattern she made! The Sentiment "picture perfect" is also from the Around the House set.

She did some stamping on the inside of the card too - She combined the arrows from the Around the House set with the sentiments and burger and drink from the Winston's BBQ set.

We've also got a fun video by Larissa today - showing envelope designs! Check it out: 

Thanks so much Larissa for the inspiration today! Please make sure to head over to Larissa's blog, Larissa Heskett Designs and say hello to her today too!  You can also see more videos by Larissa on her YouTube Channel! 

Dinosaur Thanks by Valerie Ward

Awesome Dinosaur Scene!

If this card by Valerie  doesn't make you smile, I don't know what will! To start off that Pink Dinosaur is just adorable!  I love how she combined four fun NND sets to create this little beach scene! Valerie combined the dinosaur and Palm tree images from the Prehistoric Pals set with the "thanks" banner, clouds and bird from Winged Wishes.  She also added in that cute crab from SEAson's Greetings and the fluffy clouds from Spring Showers! Whew! That's a lot of fun stamps together! 

Thanks, Valerie - for making us smile! Pop over to Valerie's blog Val by Design to see what else she's up to and tell her how adorable her card is! 

Bow Tie card and Video by Danielle Pandeline

Surprise Dad with a Bow-tie!

Danielle Pandeline created this super cool card with a Bow-tie on it! This is so cool! She used the bold "DAD" stamp from the Winston's BBQ set. Then on the inside, she used the lightbulb and the "you light up my day" sentiment from the Around the House stamp sets!  

And here's a video by Danielle, Showing you how to create the bow!

Cool Penguin Card by Samantha Mann

Cooling off today with some sweet penguins! 

Today I'm sharing this adorable penguin card by Samantha Mann using our Wild Child stamp set! This card is so pretty! I love the ombre blue look over the dotted sky - it really draws attention to the little penguin mom and babe in the corner! I think this would be a fun card for any time of year!
