Extra Mice Fall Card by Amanda Wilcox

Have an Extra MICE Fall!

This card by Amanda that is perfect for sending warm wishes for an extra MICE fall!

To create this fun card she stamped three of the adorable mice and some little leaves from our Autumn Mice Stamp Set. She colored them using a beautiful fall color palette and then cut them out using the coordinating Autumn Mice Die Set to add them to her card. She even added bits of gloss on the images for an extra special touch. 

For her card base she cut out a piece of kraft colored cardstock with our Framework Die Set to give it that fun postage edge. Then she used our Falling Leaves Stencil with various distress inks to create a gorgeous leaf filled background. She added the mice and little die cut leaves onto the background, leaving a spot for the sentiment "Hope your Fall is extra mice", also from the Autumn Mice Stamp Set.

What a beautiful Fall creation! To say hello to Amanda and see more of her awesome creations you can visit her over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook! 

Simple Joys of Christmas Card by Zsofia Molnar

Joys of Christmas!

Today we are celebrating the joys of Christmas with Zsofia! She has created a card that is packed with all our favorite Christmas themes!

She started out by pairing the image of the girl holding the giant stack of Christmas gifts from our Christmas Haul Stamp Set with the image of the truck, also filled with Christmas gifts, from our Holiday Haul Stamp Set. These two images with the piles of gifts work so perfectly together! Do you think the girl is unloading the gifts from the back of the truck? She colored both of the images in fun bright holiday colors and cut them out using the coordinating Christmas Haul Die Set and Holiday Haul Die Set. 

Here is a close up so you can see all the beautiful details in her coloring:

For the card , she created a wonderful Christmas scene. She started by creating a snowy sky using our Starfield Stencil with white texture paste over a blue inked background! Next, she layered a series of trees that were stamped in green ink using the bold tree images from our Whispering Pines Stamp Set. These bold trees have a lovely watercolor texture that adds a fun detail. She cut them out using the coordinating Whispering Pines Die Set and layered them in front of her sky. She next layered a fence that was cut out using our Fence Die Set and a hill of snow using our Land Borders Die Set. 

What a gorgeous winter scene! She finished her card with the sentiment from our  Christmas Nap Stamp Set, embossed in white onto a black cardstock rectangle to tie it all together! 

We hope you enjoyed this gorgeous winter scene today and are inspired to make some scenes of your own! You can find more of Zsofia's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Safsafdesign.

2022 Cat Lovers Blog Hop!

2022 Cat Lovers Hop

This week is the 2022 Cat Lovers Hop! This hop is so fun and since the theme is CATS we knew we HAD to play along! To participate in this blog hop, you just have to create a project that features a cat theme  and upload it to the post on Her Peaceful Garden! We hope you can play along since there are some really awesome sponsors and prizes, including one from us at Newton's Nook Designs! 

Here's what I created:

Since we have a ton of different kitty stamp designs in our shop, it was hard to choose what to use for my card today, but I decided to feature our brand new Newton's Gift Stamp Set. This set features the kitty popping out of a gift box and holding a blank tag. The stamp set also includes a variety of sentiments that will fit on the tag so you can customize your greeting. For this card I chose to use "fa la la la MEOW" and created a card with a holiday music theme! I colored the image with watercolor markers and then cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Gift Die Set.

For the background I chose our Argyle Stencil Set and created the fun argyle pattern in that matched the colors I had used on the gift. This stencil set is awesome because it has two layers that easily line up. It's great for making two color backgrounds! I chose to make the diamond layer lime green and the stitching layer pink. Then I cut the panel out with our  Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a fun scalloped edge. 

I wanted to add some music to this card to match the sentiment so I used our Music Stencil with white texture paste on top of some vellum. After it had dried I cut it out into a scalloped circle using our Circle Frames Die Set. I also cut out a smaller scalloped circle using the lime green polka dot paper from our new Christmas Time Paper Pad. This paper pad has some great Christmas patterns but if you like kitties, you'll want to check out our Meowy Christmas Paper Pad too as it's jam packed with cute holiday kitty themes! 

Our Design Team Member, Donna Idlet is playing along today too. Here's a little peek at her project:

You can head over to her blog, Creative Lady to see the whole project and more details!

We hope you enjoy the cat hop! I you are not familiar with our brand yet, our company was named after our orange tabby, Newton. Sadly, we lost our 18 year old Newton in 2019. We miss him terribly but he still lives on in our hearts and our stamp designs! Our current resident kitty helper is named Marlowe. One of his favorite activities is walking across my keyboard, but he means to be a "good" helper! LOL! Here's a photo of Marlowe from the other day, he was being all sleepy while keeping me company on my craft desk!

Christmas Ornament Shaker Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Christmas Ornament Card

Today Ellen created a wonderful Christmas Ornament card that features a combination of cutting dies and papers from Newton's Nook Designs! 

For the main image Ellen created an ornament using our Ornament Shaker Die Set. She cut the shaker frame from black cardstock and the top from glittery silver cardstock. Then she cut the background using the pretty print of a holiday street from our Christmas Time Paper Pad! She filled the shaker window with shimmery sequins to add a fun holiday sparkle! A bit of blue ribbon from through the top of the ornament ties in perfectly with the blue sky on the paper!

For her card base she chose a light blue, matching the ribbon and sky. Then she added a panel of argyle printed paper from our Canine Christmas Paper Pad. She framed it with a die cut scalloped frame, cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set and black cardstock. 

The finishing touch is the word "Christmas" across the bottom. This was die cut from sparkly silver paper using our Holiday Greetings Die Set.

We Love FALL most of ALL!

Do you love Fall as much as we do? Then you are sure to fall in love with this amazing Fall card by Samantha! 

This gorgeous Fall card features the square image filled with pumpkins and leaves all around the edge from our Fall Fringe Stamp Set. Samantha stamped this image, embossing it in white and then ink blended oranges and pinks over the top! Isn't pink such a fun and unexpected color for a Fall creation!? 

She cut close to the edge of the square image using a paper trimmer. Then she cut a scalloped square shape from vellum using our Frames Squared Die Set and layered that behind it. She also used our Frames Squared Die Set for the white square card base. 

The sentiment in the center, also from the Fall Fringe Stamp Set is stamped and embossed onto a circle of vellum. The circle was also die cut using our Frames Squared Die Set, which includes a small circle die!

Peace & Joy

Today Maria has created a a gorgeous holiday card using our new Holiday products!

To start out she stenciled two rows of trees using our new Christmas Tree Line Stencil. She overlapped the rows so it looks just like a forest of trees. Then she used the same stencil to add the decorations with a fun glittery texture paste. 

She used our Framework Die Set to cut a scallop edged frame from gold paper to layer behind the image of trees. She added gold stars to the tree tops using stickers from her stash. She also cut the words "peace & joy" using the bonus die cuts from our  Christmas Nap Die Set. She used gold paper for these too to add even more sparkle!
