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. 

Products Used: Furr-Ever Friends Stamp/Die Set

Newton's Nook Designs 6 Year Celebration Blog Hop

Hello everyone! We're celebrating Newton's Nook Designs 6th Anniversary and the team is getting together today to show off a few extra projects using the wonderful July release products which are now available in store!

Today I'm sharing 2 cards using both new 2 piece stencils, Pineapple and Hibiscus because I just couldn't get enough of either of them! What do you think of the gold and blue pineapples?  I think they really look fun and summery with Newton from Newton's Perfect Wave riding his surfboard! I used the shaped die from Frames Squared on both cards under my images.

Newton's Nook Designs July Release 6 Year Celebration - Day 4

Hi Newton's Nook Designs Fans and welcome to day 4, our final day of July reveals!  Today I'm featuring 4 new stamp sets and I think you're going to LOVE them as much as I do!  3 of them are the 2x3 mini sets!  So let's get started!

My first card features Lemon Twist! I can't tell you how excited I was to see this beautiful lemon set, there's something so refreshing about lemons, even coloring them just brings such joy to me! So I'm finally showing off the new Hibiscus stencil on my background. I added some light blue ink to the rounded rectangle die from the Frames and Flags die set and added a banner that I heat embossed this beautiful sentiment on! 

My second card features a mini stamp set, Gull Friends. Isn't this just the sweetest little image?  I've paired this set with a scalloped background from Frameworks Die Set and the new Cloud Stencil, along with a wave from Sea Borders and starfishes from Tranquil Tides and a tiny anchor die cut from the Message in a Bottle Die Set. 

My third card uses the new mini stamp, Newton's Melon. I created the background layers using the Frameworks Die set in melon colors, I added a banner with a heat embossed sentiment and stenciled behind Newton using the Argyle Stencil Set

Last but not least, I'm showing you my very favorite stamp/die set from this release, Shrimp Cocktails! I've paired these CUTE little crustaceans with a bigger cocktail from the Cocktail Mixer stamp/die set and there's the Hibiscus Stencil again, don't you just LOVE it?  The banner which is heat embossed is from the Frames and Flags Die set!

Well, we've made it to the end of our reveals, keep scrolling for your chance to WIN!  And thank you so much for joining me this week!

Hello Newton's Nook Designs fans and welcome to day 2 of the July reveals and NND's 6th birthday celebration!

For my first card, I've used the brand new set, Newton's Perfect Wave!  I adore this set and love all the images included!  My scalloped frame is a die from the Frameworks Die set and the clouds and sand hill were stenciled in using the new Clouds Edge and Hills and Grass Edge stencils. I can't stress enough how much I LOVE these new scene creating stencils, they are amazing!

For my second card I'm featuring the new Scuba Newton stamp/die set and added the new stencil Waves and Splashes.  The scalloped die is from the Frames and Flags die set. All the little fish and plants come in the Scuba Newton Set! The little sentiment is stamped on the littlest circle die from Frames Squared!
