Newton's Nook Designs - Spooky Street


Hello everyone and happy Friday, I hope you're all looking forward to a nice weekend!  Today I'm here with a fun and spooky card I've made using some awesome Halloween themed products by Newton's Nook Designs

I started by using the hills side of the Hills & Grass Stencil in Brown and then stenciled the Ghonsts over the top of my blue inked background. I then stamped the tombstones along the top of the hill.  I added that great spooky tree and the skeleton cat and my sentiment.  

This is a really easy card to make, I hope you'll give it a try too!  Thanks for stopping by today!  Happy Haunts!

Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Day 4



Hello Newton fans and welcome to day 4, the final day of our August reveals.  I'm so happy to be doing all this fall/halloween crafting this week, and so I'm excited to share both of these halloween stamp sets PLUS this amazing new Ghosts stencil!

For my first card, I colored up Witchy Newton in that cute boot in blue, and added him into the distressed ink scene in front of the Fence Die and Postage Die from the Frameworks Die Set. Oh, and a little pumpkin from the Pumpkin Latte set, revealed on Day 1!


For my second card I created this spooky scene by stenciling the background using the brand new Ghosts Stencil!  I layered my card base with the scalloped die from Frames & Flags Die set, thats where the little purple banner came from too!  I copic colored up this sweet image, Happy Howl-oween and also used a lime green grass border from the Land Borders Die Set!

Newton's Nook Designs August Release - Day 3


Hello everyone, welcome to day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs August reveals.  Today we're featuring a new stamp/die set called Autumn Mice.  I've made two cards today showing off this adorable set!

For this first card, I've colored up the image of this mouse with the blowing leaves.  I added a few pumpkins from the Pumpkin Latte set that we featured on Day 1.  I also used the Clouds Stencil and the Hills and Grass Stencil to create this blustery fall scene.


For this second card, I just couldn't resist coloring up these little mice on the stalks of wheat.  I created a distressed ink panel and added the clouds using the Cloudy Sky Stencil above and then adding some green ink to the bottom to look like a field. I adore this little scene and I hope you like it too!

I used the rounded rectangle die from Frames & Flags Die Set along with the Falling Leaves Stencil to create my background over a distress inked panel.  This was super easy to do and provided a perfect look to then assemble my images on.

Newton's Nook Designs Pet Sympathy Card


Hi everyone, today I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog with a card that I made for a friend.  It's never easy to make sympathy cards, regardless of who they are for.  And although I was sad to have to make this card, it's important we support friends and family when it comes to the loss of our fur babies.

I started with a mint A2 sized card base and stenciled on pawprints all over. Using the rounded rectangle die cut from Frames and Flags, I stamped the red pawprint heart and the halo. I stamped and die cut this sweet pup silhouette and popped him up on the sentiment stamped banner. 

Last I added some twine and a tiny pawprint die cut. Thanks so much for joining me today, I hope you've enjoyed your week and are looking forward to a nice weekend.
