Newton's Nook Designs 3 year Celebration Blog Hop!

Newton’s Nook Designs is so excited to be celebrating our THREE Year Anniversary - WOW - THREE whole years of getting our paws inky!

I remember how excited I was when our first four sets came in the mail over three years ago! (see photo below) - Now we have 133 products in our shop! It's been an Incredible journey so far- filled with happiness, stress, lots of excitement and very little sleep! Here are a few behind the scenes photos from this last year of Jeff and I and our little helpers, Newton and Hobbes!

We want to take a minute to say THANK YOU to all our fans, designers and customers who helped make it happen! We are so happy to be here and we can't wait to see what the next year brings!

To celebrate, we have a blog hop and we've invited some very special guests to our hop along - Sandy Allnock, Taheerah Atchia, Jennifer Ingle and Amy Tsuruta! How cool is that? Plus we have prizes at EVERY STOP in the hop! Make sure to scroll down to the end of the post to see the whole list!

Since every stop on the hop is sharing cards made with our new release I made a couple cards too! I LOVE all the sets in the release this month but the Paradise Palms set is SO easy and fun to play with so I decided to use that for my cards!

Did you know I created this set by painting the the palm with watercolors? I then scanned in my paintings and did some "magic" to them to convert them into stamps! I love how this gives them a really unique, uneven look! The imperfections add to the appeal!

I created two simple cards by masking off areas of the white card base and then sponging ink to create sunsets. Then I stamped over the inked area with the palm trees and added in the sentiments. Then I added some colored epoxy dots  and twine to add a bit more detail. It would be so easy to make a stack of cards like this - they are so easy and look beautiful every time!!
