Happy Thanksgiving + Black Friday Sale Starts Now!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Jen here today (owner of Newton's Nook Designs with my husband Jeff) and we want to take a moment to wish everyone a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday! We are hope you are spending our day today filling up on turkey and relaxing! If you are at home doing a little online shopping, make sure to scroll down to the end of this post for details on our Black Friday Sale!

This holiday season is a time to reflect and appreciate everything you are thankful for and we want to let you know that we are so thankful for YOU, all of our AMAZING customers and fans! 

In the spirit of gratitude, I'd like to share a couple of beautiful thank you cards I created. Both cards feature our Leaf Splendor Stamp Set and our Autumn Basics Paper Pad.

For the card above I colored the leaves from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set using watercolor markers. I cut them out with the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. For the card I cut the postage edged frame from white cardstock using our Framework Die Set. I added 4 squares of patterned paper chosen from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad and layered the leaves over the top. The sentiment was stamped along the bottom and a bit of twine finishes the simple layout. 

For the second card I again colored a leaf from the Leaf Splendor Stamp Set with watercolor markers and cut it out with the coordinating Leaf Splendor Die Set. This time created a fun patterned background using our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. I cut an A2 sized piece of copy paper and then added strips of scrap paper from the paper pad, cutting them at angles and randomly adhering them to the copy paper. I then cut the paper out using the stitched rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set. I added a strip of vellum and a sheer ribbon across the center and layered the leaf over that. I also added the sentiment, stamped onto an oval cut using our Oval Frames Die Set. This whole panel was then framed with an orange postage edged frame that was cut out using our Framework Die Set. 

I hope you enjoyed this card today! If you're here to find out about our sale this weekend, that's up next!

Holiday Card with Patterned Papers by Donna Idlet

Pattern Papers for a Fun Holiday Greeting!

Today Donna is sharing a fun way to use paper scraps to create a beautiful holiday card! 

This card features papers from our Canine Christmas and Christmas Time Paper Pads. She picked the papers that she wanted to feature on her card and then cut them out using our A2 Card Layout Die Set. We love how she lined up the stockings to fit perfectly inside the rectangle die cut! 

She also used our Christmas Word Trio Die Set to cut out the "noel" sentiment with the stitched banner edge. This die fits perfectly inside the center window of the A2 Card Layout Die Set!

What a fun way to create a quick and easy holiday card, just by die cutting and assembling! To see more beautiful creations by Donna, you can visit her blog, Creative Lady!  

Thanks a Latte Card by Amanda Wilcox

Send a LATTE Thanks!

Today we are sharing a fun coffee themed thank you card by Amanda featuring some of our fun new coffee themed products!

To create this card Amanda starts out by creating the coffee themed thank you message using our new Thanks a Latte Die Set. This die set includes the sentiment along with a shadow die that fits perfectly behind the letters. Layering them together it allows you to create a sentiment that really pops off your card! Amanda cut out her message using white for the letters and navy blue for the shadow. 

For her card she started with a white card base. Along the top of her card she inked an area of blue, sizing it to fit behind the sentiment. She also added some blue colored splatters and layered her sentiment over the inked area. 

Then she added some coffee themed patterned papers from Coffee Shop Paper Pad along the bottom half of her card.  The finishing touch is a bit of burlap twine across the top! 

This fun card was created using only dies and paper! What a quick and easy way to create a fun thank you card for a friend who loves coffee!

We hope you enjoyed this project by Amanda. You can see more over her beautiful work over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Llama Birthday Fun Card by Samantha Mann

Llama Birthday Fun!

Need a card for an upcoming Birthday?  This fun card by Samantha is sure to send a birthday smile! 

She started out by creating the beautiful background panel. She first cut out a long scallop edged fram using our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. She then added layers of hills to the lower half of of the panel using our Hills & Grass Stencil with green distress ink. She added blue ink to the top for a sky and  mounted the panel on a white cardstock base. 

Next she colored stamped two llamas using our Loveable Llamas Stamp Set. She colored them in neutral colors, adding fun pink cheeks and white dots to their bodies for a fun detail. She also stamped and colored the blankets for their backs and a stack of gifts from the same Loveable Llamas Stamp Set. She cut all these images out using the coordinating Loveable Llamas Die Set. She also added a bundle of balloons, stamped from our Cycling Friends Stamp Set and a birthday hat from our Newton's Cupcake Stamp Set.

Last, she added the sentiment, mixing stamped words from our Loveable Llamas Stamp Set with cut out letters using our Essential Alphabet Die Set. What a fun way to make a customized message!

We hope this fun card has inspired you to create birthday cards! Don't forget to mix and match stamps and die sets to customize your creation!
