Newton's Nook Designs - Cheers to Summer

Hello everyone!

I’m sharing a fun summer-themed card featuring Newton’s Nook Designs Happy Meowr Stamp Set! I wanted this card to have a cool coastal feel, so I paired the adorable image with papers from the Seaside Paper Pad and created a bold geometric background using Card Layout 4.

The different patterned papers come together beautifully, adding lots of interest while keeping the soft blue color palette perfect for summer. I love how the turtle, fish, and dotted patterns complement sweet Newton as he relaxes with a refreshing drink in his fishbowl—definitely living his best summer life!  

For the sentiment, I chose “Cheers to Summer!” from the Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die-cut it from the Basic Frames Die Set.

To finish the card, I added a few sparkling sequins around Newton for a touch of shimmer and tucked in a few seashells from the Happy Meowr Stamp set to complete the beachy vibe.

Thank you for stopping by, please come back again for more inspiration!

Gina K. Designs - Tranquil Tulips Birthday Wishes Card

Gina K. Designs June 2026 Release is NOW available and can be found HERE.

Hello everyone!

I am here featuring Gina K. Designs newly released Tranquil Tulips Stamp Set, I created a clean and colorful birthday design with a little extra dimension.  Be sure to check out ALL the new products release this month.  You can also find lots of inspiration over at Gina K. Designs & Stamp TV Friends Facebook page.  All supplies I used are listed below.

Here is my card for inspiration:


I began by stamping the tulip arrangement onto white cardstock and coloring everything with alcohol markers, blending shades of pink for the flowers and vibrant greens for the leaves. Once the coloring was complete, I die cut the panel using Master Layouts 2, giving it a beautiful stitched border.

To help the focal panel stand out, I layered it onto the black scalloped frame from Master Layouts 4 before adhering everything to a bright pink card base. The black scalloped layer creates a bold contrast that really makes the tulips pop.

For added depth, I stamped and die cut the two separate tulips included in the stamp set and attached them with foam squares over the main image. This simple step adds wonderful dimension and brings the bouquet to life.

I finished the card by stamping and die cutting the “Birthday Wishes” sentiment from the set and placing it across the bottom of the floral arrangement. A few black pearls scattered around the design provide the perfect finishing touch and tie in beautifully with the black scalloped frame.

This card came together quickly but has lots of interest thanks to the layered dies, dimensional flowers, and vibrant coloring. The Tranquil Tulips Stamp Set is perfect for birthdays, thinking of you cards, Mother’s Day, and so many other occasions.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to create your own beautiful floral designs with the new Tranquil Tulips release. Happy crafting!🌷
