Newton's Nook Designs - August 2023 Autumn Release - Reveal Day 1

Hello everyone!

It's Reveal Day 1 over at Newtons Nook Designs, the NEWLY released products will be available on Friday, August 18th. The design team will be featuring "Fall Harvest" Stamp Set with coordinating dies, so exciting we are debuting another hot foil plate called Fall Leaves and another sentiment hot foil plate called Autumn Greetings.  If you have not seen all the hot foil plates, you can find them here.  

Here are my cards for your inspiration:

For my first card I am featuring the Fall Harvest Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. I created an A2 shaker card using the Framework Die Set. The background paper I used the NND Autumn 6x6 Paper Pad. The background of the shaker I used the Fall Leaves Hot Foil Plate. I then stamped the image from the Fall Harvest Stamp Set, colored with alcohol markers and die cut the image. I assembled the shaker and added the apple image to the front of the card. I then stamped the sentiments from the Fall Harvest Stamp Set and die cut them using NND Banner Duo Die Set and the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.

My second card, I think is adorable. I love the image from the Fall Harvest Stamp Set of the dog peeking out of the leaves. I think the background using the Fall Leaves Hot Foil Plate really makes the image stand out. I stamped the images from the Fall Harvest Stamp set, colored with alcohol markers and then die cut them. I stamped the circle scallop from the NND Circle Frames Die Set and added the grass at the bottom of the circle scallop using the NND Lands Border Die Set. I then foiled the sentiment from the Autumn Greeting Hot Foil Plate and used the sentiment from the reverse foiled sentiment die cutting it using the Banner Duo Die Set.

Newton's Nook Designs - Time to Celebrate

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring an adorable card I created with the newly released stamp set called "Birthday Barks" with the coordinating die. The background paper is from the newly released "Birthday Woofs" Paper Pad. I love the images in this stamp set, it's perfect for the dog lover to send a birthday card to.

My card is an A2 size card. I die cut the scalloped background piece from the Frames & Flags Set. I then cut the top balloon layer from the NEWLY released "Birthday Woofs" 6x6 Paper Pad. I foiled the NEWLY released "Confetti Hot Foil Plate" and added it next to the balloon paper and added it to the base of the card. I then stamped the image from the "Birthday Barks" stamp set and colored it with alcohol markers and adhered it onto an oval stitched die from NND Oval Frames Die Set and added it to the center of the card. 

I foiled the sentiment using the Birthday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and die cut it using the Banner Duo Die Set. I used foam tape to adhere it to the card. To finish off the card I added some rhinestones from my stash.

Thank you so much for stopping by! I hope you come back again soon.
