Keep Growing

So excited to share this fun card with you today

For the Newton’s Nook Blog.

For this card I used

Floral Delights

Bright Basics 6x6 Paper Pad

Basic Frames Die Set

Circle Friends Die Set

When I first saw the Basic Frames Die Set, I knew that the

banner in this die set would be perfect for a shaped card!

To start this card, I created a card base using red card stock and the banner die.

Once all the pieces of the card base were cut out, I cut out a card front using the

red gingham card stock from the Bright Basic 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

I glued all the pieces together to create my card and then got to work on coloring my flowers.

I stamped out the daisies from the Floral Delights Stamp Set.

I wanted bright bold colors, so I chose to color my daisies yellow with an orange center.

I also stamped out a few of the bees to put on my card as well.

To create a place for my sentiment, I used the stitched circle from the Circle Frames Die Set.

I started my assembly of the card by first gluing down my circle with the sentiment.

Next, I glued down my daisies, attaching them to the card with foam tape.

For a final touch I added my bees, and some of my favorite white enamel dots.

This was such a fun and easy card!

I hope you get to try this card for yourself!

Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have an awesome day

Stay crafty my friends!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Bubble Tea

Hello Everybody!

We are on the fourth day of our new release!

These two new sets will bring some tea-rrific joy to your life.

1st for the cat lovers

Newton’s Bubble Tea

For the dog lovers

Puppy’s Bubble Tea Stamp

Using these stamp sets I created two cards.

Newton’s Bubble Tea I started my card by using the teal

heart paper from the Pastel Basics 6 X 6 Paper Pad.

I cut out a 2 1/4 by 5 strip of paper and glued it to the front of a standard size teal card.

Next, I use the banner die from the Basic Frames Die Set.

I die cut this out with white card stock.

I stamped my sentiment directly to this banner using a sentiment from the stamp set.

The banner is glued directly to the front of the card.

Next, I stamped my images from Newton’s Bubble Tea and colored them in.

I used my favorite ube bubble tea as reference.

Once I was finished, I die cut out my images using

the coordinating dies and adhered them to my banner with foam tape.

A few hearts from the stamp set and a couple of matching enamel dots complete this card.

For the Puppy Bubble Tea Stamp Set I created a card base that will

fit the Frames and Tags Die Set.

I cut out the frames and tags die set from white card stock first.

For my second pass I used the purple striped card sock from the Bright Basics 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

I assembled everything on top of a second piece of card stock

and then glued this to the front of my card.

I stamped and colored the images from Puppy’s Bubble Tea Stamp using Thai tea as a reference.

I die cut my images using the coordinating dies and added them to the front of my card with foam tape.

To finish this card, I stamped, colored and die cut some of the hearts that

are included and added those to the front of the card.

This concludes my take on these fun bubble themed products!

This and all the other new products will be available on Friday April 19^th.

Happy Shopping!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay craft everyone!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Cherry Blossoms

Hello Everybody!

We are on the third day of our new release!

Continuing with the flower theme we have the

Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set

Using this stamp set I created this shaped card.

When I saw this stamp set, I knew it had to be a shaped card.

I started this card by creating a circle card base with pink card stock

and a basic circle shape die from my stash.

For the card front I decided on the striped, pink card stock

from the Pastel Basics 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

This is die cut out using the stitch circle from the Circle Frames Die Set.

I assembled the piece of this card and placed it aside with a weight on top to dry.

Next, I stamped out the cherry blossoms stamp set and

colored my stamped blossoms using traditional cherry blossom colors.

I also die cut a place for my sentiment using a stitch square from the Basic Frames Die Set.

I stamped on my sentiment to that stitch square and glued it into the center of my card.

Then I added my cherry blossoms around the sentiment until I liked what I saw.

To complete this card, I added on a bit of pink pearls embellishment.

This concludes my take on these beautiful cherry blossoms themed products!

This and all the other new products will be available on Friday April 19^th.

Happy Shopping!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay craft everyone!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Floral Delights

Hello Everybody!

We are on the second day of our new release!

Flower lovers, this one is for you!

Floral Delights Stamp Set

Using this stamp set I created this tag!

To start this tag, I used Trailing Leaves Stencil and some beautiful orange card stock.

I taped down my stencil to the cardstock and then used the

following Distress Oxides to blend up the color.

At the bottom there is Squeezed Lemonade, Carved Pumpkin

in the middle and at the top Picked Raspberry.

The idea was to just create a hint of something in the background.

I placed the card stock aside to dry and turned my attention to the stamp set.

I stamped out the echinacea stamp from the Floral Delights Stamp Set

and colored this flower in keeping the background colors in mind.

Once my coloring was done, I die cut out my flower using the coordinating dyes.

I also colored and die cut out a couple of bees.

With my background now dry, I use the bookmark die set and die cut out my background.

I decided to be bold and stamp my sentiment directly on the bottom with black ink.

I added my echinacea flower to the center popped up with foam tape.

The bees were added on next, also, popped up with foam tape.

This tag was super easy, and I loved the way everything turned out.

This concludes my take on these fun floral themed products!

This and all the other new products will be available on Friday April 19^th.

Happy Shopping!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - So Many Books

Hello Everybody!

Today we celebrate the first day of our new Release!

We are featuring not one but 2 new items for you!

Never Enough Books Stamp Set

AND

Bookmark II Die Set

First up the Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Using this stamp set I created this card.

To start this card, I created a card make with Neena Desert Storm Cardstock.

To the front of this card, I added a rectangle of

2 x 4 ½ yellow plaid cardstock from the Bright Basics Paper Pad.

Next, I stamped my images from Never Enough Books Stamp Set.

Once everything was colored in, I decided on the placement of my shelves.

Also, where to place the sentiment banner?

That is when I came up with the idea to place the banner behind my books.

I trimmed the banner slightly and glued the banner flat on the front of the cardstock.

I used foam tape to give the shelves dimension and placed them on top of the banner

To finish this card, I added a couple of matching enamel dots.

For the Bookmark II Die Set

Here is my take.

I grabbed my container of scrap paper and stared making

a whole bunch of books using the Die that comes with this bookmark.

I placed the books aside to dry and started to create the tag.

I used the red plaid paper from Bright Basics 6x6 Paper Pad

and white card stock to create the front and back of the tag.

I also die cute the small, scalloped oval from the Oval Framed Die Set.

I glued the pieces of the tag together and added the oval to the front.

Next, I chose 5 books from the pile that I had made and glued them on the front.

To complete this tag, a simple sentiment banner and some black and white twine.

This concludes my take on these fun book themed products!

This and all the other new products will be available on Friday April 19^th.

Happy Shopping!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Stay craft everyone!
