I've posted the image and link to their shop, make sure to pick this up before Friday. (However if you miss it, there will be another cute freebie, as each week they change).

So this is just a little Valentine that I'm popping in the mail for someone very special! I followed the sketch challenge at Bugaboo which I'll link for you below.

Newton's Nook Designs - Sending Hugs

Hello everyone, I'm here today with a cute card I made for someone special. I'm popping this in the mail to my friend for Valentine's Day!

I started by inking the globe shape using an A2 sized piece of paper that I cut the shape out, then layered it over my cardstock and sponged on Shaded Lilac in an ombre look, darker at the bottom and light at the top.

I copic colored and die cut using coordinating dies, the images from Sending Hugs. The amazing thing about the coordinating dies is that it cuts out the arms and so you can slide the little accessories in, like the wine, flowers or gift box.

I added a red balloon from the Fabulous Frenchies stamp set too. To finish it off, I added some hearts and then stamped the sentiment below.

Thanks so much for stopping today, make sure you visit the store and check out these super cute stamp and die sets!

Newton's Nook Designs January Release - Day 4

Hi everyone and welcome to day 4, the final day of January releases. Tomorrow all these new products we've featured this week, will be in the Newton's Nook Designs Shop!

For my first card I colored up two of the little typewriters, don't you just love them? And I mounted them on a scalloped circle die cut, which is on the scalloped die from Frames and Flags that I stenciled using the Tumbling Heart Stencil. I mounted all on a tiny black/white polka dot patterned paper and a little checked bow.

My second card was really simple. I used the layered heart die from the new Candy Heart stamp/die set. I stamped each heart with a sentiment from the set and mounted them on a white panel on top of the postage die from Frameworks Die set. I tied a little twine and my Valentine's Day card is ready to be mailed!

Newton's Nook Designs January Release - Day 3

Hi everyone and welcome to day 3 of the January release here at Newton's Nook Designs! Today we're featuring this new stamp/die set, Love Owl-Ways. The little owls in this set are just precious and so fun to color! For my first card I copic colored this little guy holding the balloon and I perched him on top of a feather I cut from this set, Points and Plumes Die Set which is currently on clearance, so make sure you get yours in the cart before they're gone!

For my second card, I colored up the owl that's swooping in with a love letter for Newton. Remember this set? Newton's Happy Mail. I thought it was a neat idea to combine these stamp sets. I used the scallop die from Frames and Flags and I embossed the ivory background using the woodgrain embossing folder from Taylored Expressions.

Newton's Nook Designs January Release - Day 2

Hi all, today is day 2 of the NND release and I'm super excited to share this card I've made using the new Caffeinated Cats stamp set. This full cardfront stamp coordinates with the largest die in the Frames and Flags Die Set or the Framework Die Set.

I love how Jen drew all these cute little Newton's playing around in the mugs and cups! I Copic colored the entire image and added some white highlights using my white gel pen. Then I cut my panel slightly smaller than the stitched line on my scalloped frame and glued all down to my kraft card base.

I hope you've enjoyed my project, be sure to keep scrolling for your chance to win this stamp!!!
