Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 4

Hello everyone, welcome to day 4, the final day of Newton's Nook Designs Holiday release.  You know what that means?  All these fun new products will be in store tomorrow for purchase right here: Shop Here!

So I've got quite a few cards to show you today, I had extra time and wanted to give you examples for all the new sets we're featuring today!  On this first card I'm showing you the new Happy Howl-idays! I love both of these pups, super fun to color and they look cute against the background that I've inked and used the new Forest Scene Builder Dies! I also used the new Petite Snow Stencil to add snow to the sky.

My second card features Mistle Toad, omgoodness that is the cutest little toad! I used a scalloped die from the Framework Die set, then popped the little Mistle Toad up on the Cameo Frame Die that I cut out in gold. The little ticket die cut that I heat embossed the sentiment in gold is also from the Framework Die Set.

My third card features Slothy Christmas.  As soon as I saw this image, I thought, boy can I relate!  That's usually how I feel after Christmas, I need a nap! I used the little HOHOHO dies from the new Ornamental Wishes Shaker Dies. The scallop die is from the Frames and Flags die set. I just surrounded Mr. Sloth with a bunch of packages, like he just got done wrapping at 3:00 am, once the kiddos are tucked in bed!

My fourth and last card features one of the new smaller stamp/die sets, Fleece Navidad. These little sheep were so easy to color, so I created a little flock, mounted them to a banner from Frames and Flags Die Set.  I inked the background, stamped some snowflakes from the set and added a little bit of crystal stickles on the snowflakes.  This was a fun and easy card to create!

Inspired Poinsettia in Blues and Greens

Hello!  I'm so excited to be joining you today with a card I've made using the Merry Poinsettia stamp/die set! I recently purchased a 6x6 paper pad called Alpine by Authentique.  It's full of green and blue Christmas papers and I have to admit, it's influencing the cards I've made this week.  I so loved that green gingham, I decided to try a non-traditional poinsettia for something different.

I cut out my 5x5 square card base. then white heat embossed my floral images and cut them out with matching dies. I used various shades of blue distress inks to color them.  Once dried, I splattered them with white acrylic paint cut 50/50 with water.  I cut my leaves out of a apple green cardstock and used a moss colored ink to shade them, then did a water splatter on them for some interest.

I place my floral around the middle sized die in the Stitched Nested Creative Squares set, then glued it all down.  I die cut the Merry from gold cardstock, then placed it within the poinsettias. Lastly I added some Gold Foil Confetti to add a little extra shine!

Thanks SO MUCH for joining me today, I hope you've enjoyed my project and it will inspire you while making your christmas cards!

Here's a list of products I've used:
