2019 National Coffee Day Blog Hop

Today we are playing along with the 2019 National Coffee Day Blog hop!

I you like coffee you are going to LOVE this blog hop! There are so may fun stops on this hop featuring coffee themed cards you are sure to be inspired! There will be prizes too on most of the stops! Read all the way to the end of this post for details on the giveaway from us at Newton's Nook Designs and a link to all the stops. 

Now - onto the inspiration! I created two cards using our Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set and Pumpkin Patch Stencil to play along! 

For the first card I created a fun Fall scene featuring the image girl with giant pumpkins and a coffee mug from and a little single pumpkin from our Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. I colored the images using watercolor markers and cut them out with the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set. Next a I cut the stitched square shape using our Frames Squared Die Set. I added some brown grass along the bottom of the square using our Hills & Grass Stencil to add to the Fall mood. The sentiment "happy pumpkin spice season" is also from the Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. 

For the background I created some fun fuzzy pumpkins using our Pumpkin Patch Stencil and orange flock sheets from Therm O Web. To attach the flocking you first use Decofoil Transfer Gel over the stencil. Once the gel is dry, you add the flock by layering it over the top of the stenciled pattern and sending it through a heat laminator. The flock sticks to where the transfer gel was placed.  

I thought the "leftover" piece of flock also looked super cool too with the reverse image so I used that to create a second card!

For the second card I used several of the same supplies. I used another image of a girl with coffee from our Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. Again, I colored the images using watercolor markers and cut them out with the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set. Just like the previous card,  I cut the stitched square shape using our Frames Squared Die Set. This time I created the scene a little differently. I added clouds using our Clouds Stencil across the sky and I added one layer of grass using our Land Borders Die Set. I added one little leaf floating on the breeze from our Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. 

As previously mentioned the background is the "reverse" or negative of what you get when you use a flock sheet from Therm O Web. This is a great way to get more milage out of your supplies! I also used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut the scallop edged rectangle shape.  

I hope you enjoyed this card today! If you like coffee, make sure to check out all of our coffee themed sets in our Coffee & Tea category!

Here's what I created:

Today I decided to create a thank you card using our Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. This is a fun new set featuring some cute pumpkin spice sentiments but it also has the fun "Thanks a latte" sentiment so I decided to make a Fall thank you card!  I colored the girl carrying her coffee using some Faber-Castell Polychromos colored pencils. I haven't done a lot of coloring of our images with pencils so I had a lot of fun doing this! It was super fun to give her hair some texture with the different shades of brown! Once the of the girl and some leaves were colored I cut them out using the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set.  Next, I cut out a stitched square shape using our Frames Squared Die Set. I decided she needed a bit of a Fall scene so I added some grass along the bottom of the square using our Hills & Grass Stencil. 

In the background I used our Plaid Stencil Set to make a strip of textured plaid. This stencil includes two pieces that you can line up so making a two color pattern is really easy! I used dark brown ink on kraft cardstock using the first stencil. Then to add some dimension I used texture paste with the second stencil. I tinted white paste blue with some distress ink before using it to create the fun pale blue color. 

Then I just assembled all the parts together and added a twine bow along the bottom! Don't you think this card has an awesome Fall feeling?

 Amy created a lovely Fall featuring our Fall-ing For You and  Pumpkin Latte Stamp Sets:

If you love fall as much as we do, this card by Amy will steal your heart! She paired our Fall-ing For You and  Pumpkin Latte Stamp Sets together for a beautiful Autumn creation. She stamped and embossed the big sentiment from the Fall-ing For You Stamp Set onto a square that was cut out using our Frames Squared Die Set. Then she stamped and colored the girl holding a coffee and the coffee cup, pumpkins and leaves from the Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. She did some amazing shading on her coloring and added fun little accents with a white gel pen. There is also bits of sparkle added! Look at those gold buttons on the coat! The images were then cut out using the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set and she arranged them all around the edges of the sentiment! So pretty!

She also cut a scallop edged square using the Frames Squared Die Set with kraft paper and then added colored leaves over it using our Falling Leaves Stencil. This beautiful pattern is layered behind the main image and give the perfect pop of fall colors! 

What a wonderful way to send greetings this Fall!

Thanks a Latte Card by Andrea Shell

Thanks a Latte!

Today we are sharing a gorgeous Fall themed thank you card by Andrea. She created this card featuring the adorable image of the girl holding pumpkins and a coffee from our new Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set. It's so cute how she colored one pumpkin orange and the other white. The image was cut out using the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set. She framed the image with a scalloped edge that was die cut using our Framework Die Set.

For the background she created and amazing plaid pattern using our Plaid Stencil Set. This stencil set has two layers that easily line up and is perfect for creating two color patterns. For this card, Andrea chose to use teal and orange to match her image! So pretty! She added the scalloped edge using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she finished the card off by added the "thanks a latte" sentiment from the Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set in the center of a circle that was cut out using our Frames Squared Die Set.

Pumpkin Latte Tag Card by October Guest Designer Noga Shefer

Hi crafty friends, I am so happy to guest designing again today for the amazing Newtons Nook Designs.

My card featuring Pumpkin Latte stamp set , Pumpkin Latte Die Set and Fancy Edges Tag Die Set.

I adore this stamp set!

To make this card I took an A2 panel of Bristol smooth cardstock and cut it with this tag die.
One of my favorite things on earth is making tags.

The background was created by blending dried marigold distress oxide ink and ripe persimmon distress oxide ink.

I also splashed white acrylic paint on it.

Next I colored the pretty images using copic markers and glues them to my panel with foam tape for dimension.

Next I stamped a greeting from this set using black ink on a small tag die.

To finish off, I added decorative tabs from Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and added an orange bakers twine.

I hope you enjoy the project I created and feel inspired to create!

Have a wonderful day!

-Noga

Thanks a Latte Card by February Guest Designer Caitlin Anthony

Hi everyone! For my third project this month, I really wanted to change things up and do a slim line card. I should probably start off by telling you that as a human being, my body is probably made up of about 64% coffee on any given day. So, when I saw the super sweet new Love Café Stamp Set from the Valentine’s release, I knew I needed it immediately and I thought I would use it to inspire my slim line card.

I started out by cutting down some plain white 80 lb cardstock to 3 x 8 inches and taping it to the back of the circle stencil from the Slimline Masking Circles & Squares Stencil Set. I used a blending sponge and two colors of distress ink to create an ombré effect for each circle, with the darker color (Walnut Stain) on the outside and the lighter color (Gathered Twigs) in the middle. I also made up a water mixture with each color and added splatters to each circle. I really wanted to give it the feel that lots and lots of coffee had dripped and spilled there over time (but really, who would dare to waste coffee like that…). The last  addition to the circles was the little coffee beans from the Love Café Stamp Set, which I stamped with the Walnut Stain distress ink since I wanted a more rustic, splotchy feel.

I stamped the lady from the Pumpkin Latte stamp set and the coffee mugs from the Love Café Stamp Set in alcohol friendly ink and stamped a sentiment from the Pumpkin Latte Stamp Set in the middle circle in the same black ink. I picked out a cool black and beige pattern paper for the main card panel and used coordinating copics to color in the images, adding in a hot pink combo for a fun pop. I used the coordinating die sets to cut out the images then removed the circle panel from the stencil and added some Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs to the outer edges of the rectangle.

This card came together so quickly at the end. I glued the circle panel to the pattern paper and added my images to their circles. I decided to put the cups at the bottom because they had a heavier feel vs the latte lady. I glued the whole piece down to a card base measuring 3.5 x 8.5 inches and paired it with a kraft brown slimline envelope. This was a really fun card to make and I can’t wait to play with these slim line stencils some more.

As a bonus, I was begged into sharing one last picture with you this week. My 6 years old daughter came to inspect my work and fell in love with the Woodland Spring Stamp Set that I used in my first card. She made her own card with those stamps, completely on her own start to finish and asked if I could share it with you all- we hope it makes you smile!
