Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - Birthday Sketch

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is to make a card with fruit related staamps or paper. Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

The rules to play along with Retro Rubber Challenge is very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older. For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.

Here is my take on the sketch.

I’m sharing a fun birthday card featuring the adorable Cat Birthday Party stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs which was released July 2025! I colored the sweet party-loving kitties with alcohol markers and popped them up on navy blue stitched squares for extra dimension.

For the background, I used the colorful Birthday Time patterned paper, which is full of festive birthday greetings and makes the perfect backdrop for these playful images. I finished the card with a simple “Celebrate!” sentiment, creating a bright and cheerful design that’s perfect for any cat lover’s birthday.

Are you ready to play along? Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get some more inspiration! Thank you for stopping by, you have until July 24th to join the fun!

Thanks so much for stopping by today! I hope this card inspires you to create something fun for your next birthday celebration. Happy crafting! 🎂🎈

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!

Newton's Nook Designs - Sending Holiday Cheer!

Hello everyone!

I am on the Newton's Nook Blog today featuring a lot of the NEWLY released products from last week. I hope you enjoyed the released and you found some products that will get you started on your holiday card making. My card has lots of sparkle and shine for the holiday season, I love creating holiday cards.

Here is my card for your inspiration:

My card is an A2 card (4 1/4 x 5 1/2). I started with the Tis the Season Toner Card Front as my base, which adds those bold diagonal stripes in pink and white. It’s the perfect backdrop for a festive scene! I die cut the top layer from the Basic Frames Die Set and used foam tape to pop it up on the card.

The  pink Christmas foiled tree I created using the Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Dies. I nestled it among the glittery presents that I die cut from the NEWLY released Gift Builder Die Set using the

Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment. These dies make it so easy to layer and customize gifts in any color combo you like!

Of course, no Newton’s Nook card is complete without some furry friends! I stamped and colored the sweet dog and cat from the Christmas Time Dogs and Cats Stamp Sets, then die cut them out with the coordinating dies. They’re holding gifts and looking absolutely delighted to be part of the celebration.

To finish off the card, I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Greeting Stamp Set and die cut it using the Circle Frames Die Set.

This card was such a joy to make, and I love how Newton’s Nook Designs makes it easy to mix and match their products for endless creative possibilities. Whether you’re crafting for friends, family, or just for fun, these new releases are sure to bring smiles all season long.
