For my card, I was inspired to make a playful Valentine's Day card.

For this card, I used the following Newton's Nook Designs products:

Newton's Nook Designs' Products used:

Frames & Tags die set 

 Frames & Flags die set. 

 Petite Hearts stencil

Valentine Postage Sampler stamp set

Heartfelt Love stamp set

I started by using red ink and the Petite Hearts stencil to create the heart layer. I then cut this using a frame die from the Frames & Tags die set. I also cut a turquoise card stock using the same die. I also cut the turquoise scallop-edge using a die from the Frames & Flags die set. I adhered the layers to the white card base. I placed two turquoise stitched rectangles in the heart layout frame. I decided to leave the big rectangle white, so the card wouldn't be too busy.  I stamped all the little images from the Valentine Postage Sampler stamp set, cut using my Scan 'n' Cut, and colored them with Copic markers. I spent some time moving the little images around and decided only 5 of them would work.  Once arranged, I adhered with 3D tape. I stamped the two sentiments from the Heartfelt Love stamp set using my Misti.  I scattered some clear drops to finish it up. I love how this turned out!

Now what will you create?  I can't wait to see!

For my card, I was inspired to make a playful Valentine's Day card.

For this card, I used the following Newton's Nook Designs products:

Love Bots stamp set

Heart Frames die set

Valentine Postage stamp set

Natural Basics paper pad

Pastel Basics paper pad

Lovely Hearts paper pad

Looking through all my NND stamp sets, I decided to use the Love Bots because I don't use it nearly enough, and I thought the colors would work great with the two images. I die cut all the hearts and used red ink to distress the white edges on the heart and card base.  I stamped all the images and used my Scan 'n Cut to cut them out.  I colored the images using Copic markers. I added dimensional tape and set them aside. I then looked through my paper pads to find paper in the different challenges colors.  I love that the NND's paper pads coordinate so well within and between pads.  Somehow, I pulled three papers from different pads, but I love how they work together.  I arranged the hearts and then popped on the little robots. I stamped the sentiment using my Misty tool and then added a few clear drops. 

Now what will you create?  I can't wait to see!

For my card, I was inspired to use the newly released coffee products!

For my final IPC card for 2024, I decided to squeeze in another Christmas card.  I wanted to use the  Bells & Holly stamp set since I hadn't used it much this season and the images are traditional and elegant. I wanted my card to be a bit rustic with the elegant bells, so I lightly distressed the edges of each element as well as using Kraft card stock.  I added the paper with the pine cones, holly, and pine boughs from the Christmas Time paper pad.  I added the string of bells on more Kraft and die cut the sentiment oval (Oval Frames die set) from Kraft as well.  I added some foliage and a pine cone using the Pines & Holly die set.

Now what will you create?  I can't wait to see!

For my card, I was inspired to make a thank you card with a wintry feel.

I began by creating the snowflake background using the Snowfall stencil. I then used the  Frames & Flags die set to create the scalloped edging. I adhered on a dark navy card base.  I then stamped the oval image from the Snowflake Oval stamp set which I colored in shades of blue using Copic markers and die cut using a die from the Oval Frames die set. My star attraction is the playful feline from the Snow Angel Newton stamp set and fussy cut. My final touch was embossing the sentiment from the  Snowman Roundabout stamp on vellum. I added some gems for a bit of sparkle. 

Now what will you create?  I can't wait to see!
