Fall is in the Air

FALL IS IN THE AIR!

 The leaves are coming off the trees and the rain is constant.

With this change in mind, I created this card.

For this project I used  

Autumn Reads

Hexagon Frames Die 

Coffee House Stories Paper Pad

 I just love the idea of the color Gray with brown.

 There is something about it that is super cozy!

In my stash I had a gray two-tone grey card that was 3 and a half by 5.

 This card was left over from a project some time ago.

Since I wanted to make this card coffee themed, I chose a

 scrap brown striped piece of paper from the Coffee House Stories Paper Pad

I cut this down to a 1 1/2-inch strip to fit on the front of the card.

Next, I stamped my sentiment on the bottom right.

 The sentiment and leaves come from the Autumn Reads

the scallop hexagon from the Hexagon Frames Die  came next.

 This shpe is die cut out of white card stock.

Next, I stamped out all the images I wanted to use from the Autumn Reads 

I used the colors of the trees around me as inspiration on my leaves.

Coloring the books and the coffee to coordinate with those colors.

To assemble the card, I added that cute corner piece of leaves on the left-hand side.

Next, I added my book and leaves on top of the hexagon

  finally, a set of trailing leaves off to the bottom left.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have an awesome day 

Stay crafty my friends!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 4

 

Hello Everybody!

It is day FOUR of our New Release!

Meet the card front for your Christmas cards!

Newton’s Christmas Tree Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

 

This stamp is perfect for all your Christmas card needs!

In creating a card for this stamp set I kept things simple.

I used a basic 4 ½ circle die from my stash to create the card base with red card stock.

I wanted a hint of a Plaid background for a nice holiday feel on the card front.

 Using the same red card stock that I used in my card base,

 I inked up that background using the Plaid Stencil Set and Tattered Rose Distress Ink.

Once the ink was dry, I used the four-inch scallop die from

the Circle Frames Die Set to cut out my Plaid background.

I also inked a bit around the scalloped edges for the edge to stand out.

I stamped and colored my image from Newton’s Christmas Tree Stamp Set 

I colored in my image using traditional Christmas colors.

Once I finished coloring, I die cut out my image using the coordinating dyes.

I also used one of the flags from the Frames And Flags Die Set to create a place for the sentiment.

I assembled my card front first making sure my plaid was going in the right direction.

Next, I added my image to the card front propping up the image and sentiment with foam tape.

Since it is the holiday season, I added a bit of sparkle using Frosted Lace Stickles

 on the star and Santa hats and then Glossy Accents on the lights and ornaments.

I hope you enjoyed my take on the Newton’s Christmas Tree Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

This and all the other fun new stamps, dies and papers items

 are available Friday, Friday, October 18

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 3

 

Hello Everybody!

It is day THREE of our New Release!

Christmas Coffees Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

Using this stamp set I created these tags!

These coffee cup stamp sets are the perfect size for tags!

I chose the two images I wanted to use from theChristmas Coffees Stamp Set  

 and colored in the chosen images using traditional Christmas colors.

I die cut out the stamped images and decided on how I wanted to use them.

To create the first tag, I use the Fancy Edges Tag Set and die cut out a piece of teal card stock.

I use the Quatrefoil Stencil and a rubber pressing plate to

 emboss the stencil image on to the card stock.

I use the stitched circle from the Circle Frames Die as a place for my image.

This gets glued directly to the front of the tag with the image glued on top.

Using “JOY” from Christmas Word Trio and created the bottom banner.

I decided to go flashy and bold by using red metallic cardstock with a white letter.

I added a bit of Stickles to the Christmas tree and created a pompom

 attachment for a final addition.

For the second tag I used a piece of emerald forest card stock.

using one of the word sentiments from the Christmas Coffees Stamp Set  stamped all over the cardstock.

I used the stitched Oval from the Oval Frames Die Set to cut

out this card stock and create the base for the tag.

I used the scalloped die from the Oval Frames Die Set as the tag front.

The stamped image is added that to the front of the tag with foam tape.

 I stamped on my sentiment just below the image.

For final additions I added a bit of stickles and a matching ribbon.

 I hope you enjoyed my take on the Christmas Coffees Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

This and all the other fun latest items are available Friday, October 18th

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release -Day 2

Hello Everybody!

It is day TWO of our NEW Release!

And we have TWO NEW ITEMS

Holiday Postage Sampler Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set,

 Postage Stamp Layout Die Set

Using this stamp set I created this card.

 

I started this card by first stamping out all the images from

Holiday Postage Sampler Stamp Set 

 On one side I colored the images with traditional holiday colors.

On the other side I colored the images with nontraditional colors.

As you can see, I had a blast with all my colors!

When everything was colored, I decided on which images

 I would like to use with the new

Postage Stamp Layout Die Set.

Of course, I had to do things a bit differently.

I was obsessed with the purple that I used in coloring.

I decided to highlight the stamps by using just

black and white with the Postage Stamp Layout Die Set.

After die cutting out the… the Postage Stamp Layout Die Set

and seeing how cute this card front was I decided to go through

 my newton’s die and find a die that would work well as a card base.

The Frameworks Die Set fit the bill perfectly.

The largest postage edge rectangle die in this set makes a

 amazing card base and lined up with the Postage Stamp Layout Die Set.

Once the card base was created with black card stock,

 All I had to do was line up my postage frame die on the front of the card.

Next, I popped in my sentiment squares using sentiments from Holiday Postage Sampler Stamp.

Then I added my images to the front of the card with foam tape on the back.

Black and white for Christmas, heck yes!

I love the way this card came out; it is unique and elegant!

This and all the other fun latest items are available Friday, October 18th

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 1

MERRY DAYS AHEAD!

Who is ready for fun new release!

To start things off we have

Evergreen Frame Die Set

Merry Christmas Die Set

Holiday Cheer Die Set

Christmas Word Trio

 Christmas Basics Paper Pad

Using these fun new products I created these items.

I LOVE the Evergreen Frame Die Set!!

  The background on this die cuts out completely

 and makes it easy to pop into different pieces.

 This makes this die very versatile and so much fun to use.

I die cut out three pieces of cardstock.

Teal for the sky

Green for the trees

and white cardstock for the frame.

After layering all the pieces onto an extra piece of white card stock,

and gluing everything together, I created this card front.

I die cut one extra piece of the white card stock to create a frame that goes around the outside.

This was quick and easy to do by just trimming out the trees.

I used the Holiday Cheer Die Set to create a sentiment for the bottom of the card.

I used the same red card stock as I did for the card base to cut out the background.

Then I used white glimmer cardstock to cut out the words.

To finish this card, I added bits of snow with white paint and glued on Sparkly gems.

 

For the next card, I started again with red card stock.

I used the Plaid Stencil Set to create the background.

First, I inked on a layer using Victorian Velvet Distress Ink

When that layer was dry, I used Festive Berries Embossing Powder to ink on the final layer.

When everything was dry, I used the Frames and Flags Die Set

to create my card base and cut out my card front.

Remember those trees I cut out from the previous project to use to create the frame?

I repurposed those trees for the front of this card.

All I did was add foam tape to the back of the trees and attach them to the front of the card.

Adding Glossy Accents to all the creases in the trees.

then coveing the Glossy Accents with Rock Candy Distress Gliter

My sentiment for this card is created by using the Christmas Word Trio

so easy to make!

 When you create with these word dies you get 2 sentiments.

 Glossy black cardstock with white letters is my choice for my Sentiment.

After piercing my 2 new sentiments together I added this to my card foam tape.

These new dies could not be any more fun to use!

I know you will enjoy mixing and matching different card stocks and creating different sentiments.

All these new products will be available. Friday, October 18
