Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release- Newton's Curious Christmas

Good morning!  Are you ready for another super cute set from the Newton's Nook Designs holiday release?  Today's set is Newton's Curious Christmas- featuring Newton!!  It's a must have for all of his fans:


I chose the Newton in the tree image for my card, stamping in onto a white card base.  I colored it with my Prismacolor colored pencils.  I tried stripes this time so he'd look like my kitty Momo. :)  I added the stars around him with yellow ink and the sentiment off to the left.  Isn't it a fun one?

The papers are from the Echo Park Christmas Cheer 6x6 pad- I am loving it this season!

A Beachy Inky Paws Challenge


Happy Friday!  I'm sure ready for a nice, relaxing weekend!  Today I'm sharing a cute treat box I made for this month's Inky Paws Challenge over at Newton's Nook Designs.  Here is what I made:


I picked the cute image of Newton on a floaty from the Newton's Summer Vacation set to play with, coloring it with my Copic markers.  I fussy cut around him when I was done.
This cute clear triangle treat box from SRM Stickers was perfect for holding some fun gummy shark treats- I'm sure this is what Newton would be snacking on as he's floating out in the bay! :)


I added a few bits of patterned paper to the bottom of the box and chose a sentiment sticker from SRM Stickers to go along with the theme.  I die cut a piece of vellum with a label die and added the sentiment over the tom.  I layered it over the patterned papers and then added Newton to the top.  I finished off the look with a bit of Crushed Curry twine.


Wouldn't these be fun treats for a beachy get together?
I hope you have a chance to play along with the Inky Paws Challenge this week!  For more inspiration, pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs blog- the design team made some cute cards!!

Happy Anniversary Newton's Nook Designs!


Welcome to Newton's Nook Designs Anniversary Blog Hop!  Did you come from Danielle's awesome blog?  I'm so excited to be participating- I can't believe it's already been a year since they've opened their doors.  To celebrate I've created two cards- one using a set from their first release and another using a set from the most recent release.  
My first card features one of my all time favorite stamp sets, Just Say Cheese- the images and puns totally crack me up!  Here is my card:


I wanted to create a bright, clean, fiesta inspired card since I was using the queso image.  I imagined it was sitting in a pretty vintage pyrex dish :)  I colored it with Copics, pulling the colors from the fun triangles paper by Bella Blvd. 


I didn't have the right colors for the tortilla chips so I improvised and dotted the colors that I did have to create a tortilla-ish look :)  It worked ok and I didn't have to worry about shading!

My next card uses a brand new set, Newton's Summer Vacation:


I thought it would be fun to use the same supplies on both cards.  I colored Newton lounging on the beach with my Copics again and fussy cut him out.  I used the leftover strips of paper and scalloped border along the bottom edge of my card and added him just above them.
  

These fun stamp sets always make me happy when I use them!  I'm so glad to be hopping along- I feel pretty lucky to be a part of this team- Newton's Nook Designs is a great company and I wish them many more years of success!

Newton's Nook Designs July Release- Newton's Summer Vacation

Good morning!  I have another fun card for you today featuring another great set from this month's Newton's Nook Designs release!!  This one is a full set of Newton- doing what kitties dream of doing on their summer vacation!!  So cute! Hee!  Here is my card:


I chose the image where Newton is building a sand castle.  I just love this little image!  So imaginative and cute!  I stamped Newton and the bucket onto white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers.  I fussy cut around them and put them aside.  I stamped the sandcastle and the sand in the bucket onto Sahara Sand cardstock and used Copics to color them, too.  I added a poof of Crumb Cake marker with my Spritzer tool to give it a sandy look and cut them out as well.
Then I built my card.  I created a base out of light blue cardstock.  I cut the waves and sand panels using the Custom Panels die set by Avery Elle.  I layered the waves onto my card so they would peek out from behind the sand.  I stamped the bucket, sentiment, and Newton onto the sand and layered my colored pieces over the top.  I added some shadows around them to give them a little dimension.  I layered it on to my card using dimensional adhesive dots and then added a strip of striped paper to finish off the look


Isn't Newton just the cutest?

Hello!  I am so excited for Newton's Nook Designs newest release- these stamps are SOOO cute!!  I can't get enough of them!  Today we are showing off the new mini set featuring Newton- Newton's Daydream.  He's sleeping the day away like any good cat :)  Here is what I made:


I thought this one would be fun to watercolor!  I stamped Newton out onto the watercolor paper and colored him in using residual ink from my ink pads as well as a watercolor palette.  The colors I chose came from the fun background papers I used by Bella Blvd.  I gave him stripes like my kitty Momo has :)

Happy Harvest with Newton's Nook

Good Morning!

I just got back from the dentist! :) You know how that goes!  Hee!  Luckily all the people at my office are so friendly and fun!  I don't mind going so much.

I wanted to pop on because there is a new challenge up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today!  I had fun playing along!


Here is the sketch:

And here is the card I came up with using it:


I enjoyed coloring the image with my Copics this time around!  The papers are from last year's October Afternoon Witch Hazel line.  I still love that plaid!

I hope you have time to play along with the sketch!  Pop over to the Newton's Nook Designs Blog to see what the other designers did with the sketch!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Calico Kitties Card

Hi There!

What are you up to today?  I'm still visiting my family on the west coast and I'm loving every minute of it!  I seriously wonder why I live all the way on the other side of the country sometimes... Don't get me wrong- I love it there, too but it's just not the same as being home :)

I thought I'd share a little card I made recently using the cute Newton's Antics set by Newton's Nook Designs!  The kitties are just too fun and I can't get enough of them!  Today I created a couple of cuddling calico kitties :)


Aren't they cute paper pieced together?  I used Pebbles Inc. Family Ties line for this, stamping the kitties onto the plaid and floral designs and cutting them out.  I stamped them again on my white panel and watercolored a little shadow around them.  I pieced the patterned kitties on to the top, popping up the plaid one to give it some dimension.


After they were pieced together, I added some stamped hearts above them and built my card.  I love the sentiments in this set, too!  They work perfectly with the kitty theme!

Well, I'm going to keep it short today- off on a few adventures in the next couple of days then it's back to DC!  Gotta enjoy it while I can! :)

Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party: Newton's Antics


Welcome to day 1 of the Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party!! 

Today we're sharing our cards using the 1st release- the Newton's Antics set!  We love kitties at my house so this set is dearly loved!  I was inspired by Newton himself for my card today and created a card with a cute orange kitty:


I stamped Newton onto some speckled white cardstock along with his toy mouse.  I colored them in using a mix of copics and water based markers.  I added a little shadowing with some light gray ink and a water marker.


When I was finished coloring, I trimmed the cardstock down for my card, cutting around Newton's tail at the top.  I also stamped the cute sentiment.  The patterned papers are from the 6x6 About a Boy collection by Echo Park.

This card was so fun to make!  Coloring kitties might be one of my new favorite things! lol!  You'll love it- and you can win it!  Here are the details:
