Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of the Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release. Today, we are featuring Sun Soaked Christmas.  I have to say I love this set, due to it's always a summer Christmas in Florida!  We wrap the palm trees in lights and head to the beach. 

For this card I used my good ole Distress spray stains for my background.  I stamped the palm tree image and colored with copic markers. I finished the card off with some white sequins.

Newtons Nook Designs - Inky Paws Challenge #37

It's time for another Inky Paws Challenge from Newtons Nook Designs!  Today, we are inspired by Cozy Plaids.  While I wish I could get into some WARM snuggly plaid Pajamas. I am sadly still rocking tank tops, flip flops and battling hurricanes. SIGH!  Yup, I live in Florida where the sun is shining and the air conditions always on. 

For this card I decided to showcase Winston with some warm festive fall plaid.  Found in the Target $ spot. Granted the paper pad cost $$$, I thought it was cute and fits the challenge.  I kept it simple with some sharp angles and kept the focus on Winston. 

Join in on the challenge fun and add your card here.

Also, be sure to join the NND Create and Share Facebook group for more inspiration.

Frozen Friends

What A Hoot

Happy Little Thoughts

I stepped out of the box for the holidays and used a few non holiday themed sets. Just to show you how versatile your collection can be to make a card.  I was just in love with the latest release that I wanted to showcase the owl again! I ended up cutting off the santa hat from a snowman on Frozen Friends. It fits perfectly on the howls head. 

For the background I embossed the wreath with gold powder to extra dimension. Then splattered the background with Distress Spray and Heidi Swapp mists. 

I hope you enjoyed my card and make some of your own. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Coffee Plus Pumpkin Equals

Happy Thursday!!!!  Today, I am up on the Newtons Nook Designs blog and I have decided to also enter this in the Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!!  I have never missed a hop and don't plan on it either. 

For this card I used a few sets from Newtons Nook, Fall-ing For you and Whispering Pines. 

This is a quick and simple card to create. I love grounding my images with a strip of washi tape. It's my favorite time of year where coffee meets pumpkin which = Pumpkin Spiced Latte's. YUM!  YES, PSL for life!!!  lol 

I hope you enjoyed my card. Thanks for stopping by.

STAMPtember Exclusive by Newtons Nook Designs

Happy Monday!!!!  EAK! I'm am so excited to announce Newtons Nook Designs has partnered with Simon Says Stamp to bring you a STAMPtember exclusive set and matching dies. This new set is called Bushels of Love and it features a lot of Newtons furry friends. 

The background for this card is a lot watercolor and spray mists.  I just love to play around and get all messy.  I really focused on my coloring and tried to stay within the lines!  It's really hard to do when there are dies for these images, which leave a thin white boarder.  I added some grass washi tape to ground the fox and placed some on the inside of the card and cut off a 1/4" on the top fold to let it show.  I think it adds a nice touch. 

Here is a look at the whole set and you get dies for all the images.  No fussy cutting around Winston and his pumpkin. Whew! 

Get the Exclusive Stamp set here! 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you get your paws inky.
