For her adorable Valentine, Andrea used two of the owls from the new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. Isn't it cute how the one is flying in with a love note to give the other? She also added in a branch and leaves using our What a Hoot Stamp Set. 

This card by Larissa is so soft and pretty! She featured the owl carrying a love note from the new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. Then she created that lovely sky using hearts from our Tumbling Hearts Stencil along with clouds cut out using our Sky Borders Die Set. She also added a scalloped panel to frame the whole scene using our Frames & Flags Die Set.

Zsofia featured three of the owls from our new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set on her card today. It's so cute how she created three stripes of pink and added one owl to each strip along with a sentiment from the set! What a fun way to showcase all three images when you can't decide which one to use! 

Maria created this cheerful owl card using the new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. She featured the image of the owl couple from the new set sitting on a branch from our What a Hoot Stamp Set. The sunny background behind them was added using our Sunscape Stencil and it gives the card such a warm and cozy feeling!

This cute owl is bringing mail to Newton! How fun is that? Amanda created this fun scene using the owl carrying a love note from our new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set combined with Newton in the mailbox from our Newton's Happy Mail Stamp Set. She also used our Frames & Flags Die Set for the banner that holds the sentiment and for the Scallop edged border. 

The owls are so cute floating in the purple sky on this card by Samantha! She used the two owls from the new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set and colored them with adorable pink accents on their wings and bellies! Then she created a lovely sky full of fluffy purple clouds, using a cut out of our Sky Borders Die Set as a mask for the ink. She added the sentiment, embossed on a stripe of vellum to finish the dreamy scene. 

The owl on this card by Naki has SO MANY balloons! She created this delightful scene using the owl from the new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. She stamped a bunch of extra heart balloons using the same image and some creative masking! Plus, don't you love the sparkle on the balloons? She also used the stitched rectangle from our Frames & Flags Die Set for the background panel and added in two little clouds from the Newton Scoots By Die Set.

Holly created an adorable cloudy sky scene using two of the owls from our new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. She colored the owls with copics and added fun white gel pen details. For her sky, she used our Cloudy Sky Stencil with white embossing paste and added some blue ink to the center. So cute! 

This charming owl card by Tatiana is perfect for sending a love and happy mail! She used the owl holding a love letter from our new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. Then she added in a whole bunch more letters using the Sending Hugs Stamp Set. So adorable!

Ellen created a playful interactive Valentine that is so fun to open! She featured one of the owls from our new Love Owl-ways Stamp Set on the front and then when you pull the card open, it flips to reveal one inside! Make sure you pop over to her blog today to see more photos. She also added in little pink clouds using our Cloud Sky Stencil and a layer of clouds across the bottom using our Sky Borders Die Set. She added in the word "love" from our Darling Hearts Die Set.

NND Sponsors Cupcake Inspirations Challenge #465

Have you heard of the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge? For each challenge they post a YUMMY cupcake photo and color combo for inspiration! Everybody likes cupcakes, right?

The current challenge going up today features the a Plaid theme!

We're sponsoring this challenge so If you head over to their blog and play along you have a chance to win a $25 store credit to our store at newtonsnookdesigns.com! How awesome is that?

Of course I had to play along -- here's the card I created:

I was excited to see this challenge theme was plaid! We have an awesome two piece Plaid Stencil Set so I had to use that for the background.  This stencil is two pieces so it makes it easy to create patterns in multiple colors. I started with the thicker plaid stripes and used blue ink over the stencil. Then I added the thin purple stripes using the second stencil. I decided to go back and add a third color so I used the thicker striped stencil again and this time I used lime green ink. It's so fun how you create custom patterns! 

Once the background was complete I stamped the owl holding a heart shaped balloon from our Love Owl-ways Stamp Set on watercolor paper using archival waterproof ink. I then colored the image using Inktense watercolor pencils and a water brush. I cut out the image out using the coordinating Love Owl-ways Die Set. Then I created a strip of clouds using our Sky Borders Die Set and cutting the cloud border on top and bottom of a white piece of paper. 

I assembled the card, adding a stripe of purple behind the clouds to help them pop. I added the owl on using dimensional foam tape. Then I finished it off by stamping the "Guess whoooo loves you" Sentiment from the  Love Owl-ways Stamp Set. I love how this turned out! 

Make sure you pop over to the Cupcake Inspirations Challenge blog to see more fun today. We have several other NND Design Team members featured as "Guest Sweeties" for this challenge and some of the regular "Sweeties" (that's what they call their Design Team -- cute, right?) are featuring Newton's Nook Designs stamps too! And don't forget to create a card in the back -to -school theme  and link it up for a chance to win our sponsored prize!
