I created this fun card using googly eyes!  When I spied the "eyes" paper from the Halloween Time paper pad, I got the idea to make a card using googly eyes. I die cut the paper using the zig-zag die from the Frames & Tags die set. I adhered the paper to a dark lavender card base. I then used the Jar Hot Foil Plate & Die with a fuschia foil. I used a die from the Basic Frames die set to create the open center. I continued to make my shaker card by filling it with some different sized eyes. I cut a tag using the  Frames & Tags die set. I did trim it down once I added the "price" using a stamp from the Birthday Postage Sampler stamp set. I adhered the tag using some twine. At last, I made the banner using the Banner Trio die set with a sentiment from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set. I love how this turned out!

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

I'm still in a fall mood, but I promise that next week I'll create a Halloween card for you!  

This week I'm showing a cute card using some scraps from the Autumn Meows and the  Autumn paper pads. I pulled 6 different patterns and cut them into small strips that I adhered to a piece of card stock. I then used a die from the Basic Frames die set to get the stiching and rounded corners. The using a different die from the same die set, I cut the Kraft panel. I used dimensional tape to add the smaller panel. I then stamped, colored, and cut the little puppy image from the Fall Harvest stamp set. I used my Scan'n'Cut, but a coordinating die set is available. I then stamped the sentiment from the Leaf Splendor stamp set using my Misti tool. At last, I cut the leaf paper strip and adhered to my dark brown cardbase and added the smaller panel.  I love all the different patterns and autumn colors on this card, and it was a great way to use up some smaller scraps. 

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

I had a bit of creative block this week, so I decided to use a sketch to help me through it.  This darling card is the result. I cut brown cardstock down to 5 1/4 x 4 inches and attached to a Kraft card base. I then used the measurements of the sketch (see below) and cut the different elements using papers from the Autumn Meows. After arranging those pieces, I stamp and colored using Copic markers the cute image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set. I used my Scan 'n' Cut to cut my image, but a coordinating die is available too. I stamped my sentiment from the  Fall Roundabout stamp set and cut it into a rectangle.  I then created the polka dotted banner using papers from the Autumns Woofs paper pads with a die from the  Banner Trio die set.

Now's it your turn.  What will you create this month?

I am loving the Layout dies from Newton's Nook. They make designing cards a bit easier, yet still allow for creativity! I used the  Card Layout 3 die with the pumpkin paper from the Autumn paper pad. I stamped the kitty image from the  Fall Harvest stamp set and colored with copic markers. I used my Scan'n'Cut to cut out the image, but there are coordinating dies. I added more pumpkins using an image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set.  At last, I used a brown panel from the Card Layout 3 die for my embossed sentiment. At last, I have a pumpkin patch card!

Week 4 Inspiration

Hope you will be inspired by this fabulous sketch with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

You have until Friday, August 29, 2025 (Midnight, CST) to play along. Each DT member will pick a favorite project to showcase, AND one RANDOM entry will win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Design online shop!  

Using the Card Layout 4 die is a super easy way to create a scene card, especially using pattern papers. My card is showcasing papers from the Halloween Party paper pad with yellow glitter paper from the  Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock stack. I layered on a little haunted house using the Haunted House die. Of course, a haunted house needs some guest, so I added the little vampire and ghost using images from the Trick or Treat Newton and the Trick or Treat Puppy stamp sets. The good news is I have more pieces to mix and match for more fun, festive Halloween cards!  (Hopefully, I can get those whipped up soon!)

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the August sketch!

This week I decided to do a farming theme. I used the darling Farmer Newton stamp set with papers from the Farmyard paper pad. I added a little chicken from the Cluck stamp set. To create the sketch, I used the Card Layout 4 die. This die makes card making so much easier! Hope you will join us this month using this fun sketch!

For this week's card, I heat embosed the image from the Spooky Roundabout stamp set several times. I then die cut it using the  Card Layout 4 die. Using the same die, I cut a piece of white card stock. I assembled the white frame and the 3 black pieces on my card base. I then cut the haunted house using the Haunted House die. I added the yellow behind the windows of the house. I popped it up with 3D tape. I then stamped and cut out the little ghost from the  Ghostly Good Times stamp set. There is a coordinating die for this stamp set; however, I used my Scan 'n' Cut. Again, I popped the ghost up with 3D tape. I added a bit of yellow on the outside of the ghost for a bit of contrast. I then stamped the sentiment and added it to the card. I, again, added a bit of yellow around the edges.

I am loving the newly released birthday products at Newton's Nook Designs! I am also loving how you can make multiple cards using only a few sheets of paper using the Card Layout 4 Die. The pattern papers are from the Birthday Time paper pad. (They are so cute!) Once I've adhered all the "puzzle" pieces, I stamped and colored the images using Copic markers. These images are from the  Cat Birthday Party, Dog Birthday Party, and Birthday Postage Sampler stamp. I used the Birthday Greetings Hot Foil Plate for the sentiments. 

I hope you will be inspired to use the challenge colors.

4 Papers + 1 Die = 4 Cute Holiday Cards

I have 4 holiday cards to share on this post using only 4 pieces of designer papers

 with only 1 layout die. With so many Christmas in July challenges, I'm entering cards in several different ones as noted below each card.

Neglected Stuff Challenge-July

I've had the Holiday Home stamp set since 2021, but haven't used it in ages.  

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I used 3 designer papers from Miss Kate's Gingerbread Lane paper pad with the Kraft paper with trees from the DCWV The Winter in the Woods stack. I cut each paper using the Newton's Nook Designs newly released Card Layout 4 die. Then I set the 4 frames in front of me and began mixing the different "puzzle" pieces in the frame. I have a bag of precut NND holiday images, so I started selecting images as I rearranged the different patterns in each frame. Once I decided on what each panel will look like, I began adhering the panels together. I adhered each panel to a cream card stock base. I then colored the images using similar colors from the paper. It was important to me that each card have a unique look. So I pulled different dies for the sentiments and arranged them differently on each card. I used some 3D tape to add dimension. And like that....I have 4 darling cards!
