Happy Autumn Card by Larissa Heskett

Happy Autumn

Today Larissa has created a lovely pumpkin themed card that perfectly captures the beauty of fall!

This card features our Autumn Fields Stamp Set and Autumn Oval Stamp Set paired together. Larissa stamped the big oval image filled with pumpkins and leaves from our Autumn Oval Stamp Set and colored the pumpkins in beautiful shades of orange, white and sage green. She used our Oval Frames Die Set to cut out the scallop edged ovaland layered the colored image over the top. 

Next she colored the scarecrow image from our Autumn Fields Stamp Set and colored the scarecrow and pumpkins to coordinate with the oval of pumpkins. She cut the scarecrow out using the coordinating Autumn Fields Die Set and layered the image over the big oval. What a perfect pairing! 

She also stamped the "happy autumn" message from the Pumpkin Tails Stamp Set onto a circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. She tucked message in next to the scarecrow and added the little crow from Autumn Fields Stamp Set the on top of the message. Behind it all she used the orange gingham paper from our Autumn Basics Paper Pad. 

We love how she mixed and matched the different fall products together!

Freshly BOO'D Card by Diane Morales

Time to BOO Some Coffee!

Wake up today with some freshly BOO'd coffee! This clever card by Diane combines spooky images from our Spooky Coffee Stamp Set and Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set. 

Diane stamped the mummy wrapped mug from our Spooky Coffees Stamp Set and the duo of ghosts from our Halloween Postage Sampler Stamp Set. She colored both of the images with alcohol markers and then trimmed them out using the coordinating Spooky Coffees Die Set and Halloween Postage Sampler Die Set. She also stamped and cut the wisps of steam from the Spooky Coffees Die Set. Then she arranged the two images together so that it appears that the ghosts are floating up and out of the coffee mug. What a fun idea!

For her card she chose the ghost toner pattern from our Spooky Halloween Toner Card Fronts. She added silver foil to the toner pattern with a minc (you can also use a heat laminator). Then she cut out the panel using the large scalloped oval from our Oval Frames Die Set. The shiny of the foil really works with the ghostly Halloween theme! 

She also cut out a smaller scalloped oval from vellum paper using the same die set. She layered the two ovals together and added her images on the top. 

For the message she used "freshly BOO'D" from the Spooky Coffees Stamp Set. She stamped it onto a gray cardstock banner that was cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set. 

This spooky card is perfect for sending to a coffee lover!

Clean & Simple Meowy Christmas Card by Farhana Sarker

Meowy Christmas!!

Today Farhana has created beautiful clean and simple Christmas card using our Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set and Christmas Tree Line Stencil. 

She started out by creating a row of trees along the top of her white card base using our Christmas Tree Line Stencil. This awesome stencil has three rows of trees so you can easily create multi-colored tree images. You just ink up one row with your first color and then move the stencil to ink up the next row using your additional color. Do the same thing one more time for the third color. Easy peasy!

In front of the line of trees Farhana added that cute kitty peeking behind the tree from our new Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set. The size of this image coordinates perfectly with the stenciled trees! 

The final touch is the sentiment, stamped in black next to the kitty. This card is purr-fect for sending to a cat lover this holiday! 

We hope this quick and easy card has inspired your Christmas crafting!

Bow-Wows of Sparkles and Holly! Card by Amanda Wilcox

Bow-Wows of Holly!

Today Amanda is sharing a holiday card filled with sparkle that is perfect for dog lovers! This card features our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts and our Wreath Pups Stamp Set. 

To create that gorgeous sparkly background panel, Amanda used the peppermint striped panel from our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts pack. She applied the red foil (you can use a minc or heat based laminator) and then cut the panel out using the zig zag edged die from our Frames & Tags Die Set. 

For the cute tag in the center of the card she stamped and colored the duo of dogs inside a big wreath from our Wreath Pups Stamp Set, cutting the image out with the coordinating Wreath Pups Die Set. She also added white gel pen accents to the image and a bit of shine to the berries. 

She then cut out a tag using our new Essential Tags Die Set. She inked the edges with blue distress ink and stamped the sentiment, also from the Wreath Pups Stamp Set along the bottom. 

We love this beautiful Christmas Card by Amanda! This layout with the shiny background creates the perfect backdrop for your favorite Christmas image. Simply change out the image on the tag to create a custom holiday card for anyone on your list!

Sending Sparkles & Holiday Cheer Card by Donna Idlet

Sparkles and Cheer!

We are filling today with sparkle and shine on this glittery card by Donna! She adds sparkle THREE ways by using using our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts, our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and our Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies! 

For this cute and sparkly scene she first used deco foil with the candy striped panel from our 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts. This created her sparkly card background. 

To hold her scene she used the large stitched rectangle from our Basic Frames Die Set, cutting it in white. She then added a green & white stripe along the bottom using our Christmas Party Paper Pad. She then cut out three sparkly gifts using our Gift Builder Die Set with our Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock. WOW! So pretty and colorful! Next to the gifts she inserted a shiny tree that she had created using our Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies. 

To complete the scene she stamped and colored the dog and cat from our Christmas Time Dogs Stamp Set and Christmas Time Cats Stamp Set holding their gifts and added them on in front of the green striped paper.  Last, she added the sentiment from the Christmas Greetings Stamp Set onto a circle cut out with our Circle Frames Die Set.

BYSH Cardmakers Challenge!

BYSHC is FALL-ing for the Holidays!

Hello! Jen here I'm excited to share that Newton's Nook Designs is sponsoring the BYSHC Falling for the Holidays Linky Party! Have you heard of the BYSHC challenge? It stands for "Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers" and they have challenges all year long to encourage everyone to work on Holiday cards! I don't know about you, but I think this is such a GREAT idea because I am always down to the wire on Holiday cards! Even though I own a stamp company and make cards all year I never seem to start early enough on Christmas cards!

Besides their regular monthly challenges, the BYSHC crew has seasonal linky parties and we are happy to sponsor their fall party! All you have to do to play along is create a card with a holiday/winter theme and link it up! Here is the link to the post with the link up and all the details: Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party

So, today I am getting a jump start on my cards and have created a Christmas card featuring products from our NEW Christmas Release. 

Here's a look at my card: 

For this card I used the following New Products:

Christmas Time Dogs Stamp Set

Merriest Christmas Die Set

Essential Tags Die Set 

'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts

I also used the previously released A2 Card Layout 2 Die 

To create this card I started by stamping and coloring all those cute little dog images from our Christmas Time Dogs Stamp Set. I used watercolor markers to color the dogs and I just love how they turned out! Once they were colored I used the coordinating Christmas Time Dogs Die Set to trim them out.  I decided to use our A2 Card Layout 2 Die for my card because it has lots of little windows that I knew the dogs would fit perfectly into. I cut out the shape using white and pink cardstock. I was also playing with our new 'Tis the Season Toner Card Fronts and had just foiled the peppermint striped panel with red foil and was dying to use it so I cut that out using the same die set and used the fun foiled image to fit into the two rectangular windows! So pretty! 

I layered the dogs over 3 of the windows, leaving the upper right window open for a sentiment. I had a hard time choosing which message to use. There are some REALLY cute sentiments in the Christmas Time Dogs Stamp Set but they were kind of small and I wanted something that would pop off in front of the peppermint stripes. So I chose to use the word "merry" from the new Merriest Christmas Die Set. Then I layered the word over a vellum tag that I cut out using our new Essential Tags Die Set. For the bow I cheated and I tied and trimmed a bow and then just glued the bow over the hole in the tag instead of tying it through the hole (shhh, don't tell!). 

I absolutely adore how this turned out! I love the shimmer that the foil adds to it. Plus the watercolored pups and the vellum tag give the card all sorts of different textures! 

I hope you enjoyed this card! I hope you will play along with the  Falling for the Holidays 2025 Linky Party. Don't forget, a winner will get a gift card to spend in the Newton's Nook Designs shop! 

AND, I did want to quickly mention that we are having a SALE in our shop this week so if you like any of the products I used today you can get them now for 15% off with code MERRY (ends Oct 24)

Thank you for joining me today! I hope you have a wonderful crafty weekend and good luck on getting started on Christmas cards!
