I wanted to make a masculine Valentine's Day card which might be challenging using shades of pinks and reds, but it's much easier when you can use some big, heavy construction trucks!  This fun vehicles are from the Love Quarry stamp set. I used the A2 Layout 2 for my layout and create little landscapes in the panels using the  Land Borders die set and petite heart paper from the  Lovely Hearts paper pad. I added the punny sentiment on a distressed heart using the Heart Frames die set. 

I hope I've inspired you to come join us!

Merry, Merry Christmas

I am already getting cards ready for 2026. For this card, I used papers by Pajama Crafter Stamps-Taupe Tidings using the sketch by The Friends of Unity December Mood Board. I also used the Merry Christmas Treeline stamp by Unity. To add some sparkly, I added a silver scallop-edged circle (Newton's Nook Designs-Circle Frames die set). To add some texture, I added a bit of twine. 

Thanks for stopping by and best wishes for a happy New Year!

Inky Paws Challenge #247 Final Week

 

Inky Paws Challenge

Week 3 Inspiration

The holidays are upon us, and this month we are asking for some Holiday Sparkle & Shine on your Newton's Nook Projects for winter, Christmas, and even New Year!

You have until Friday, December 19, 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!  

I love purples, so I used the lavendar glitter paper from the Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortmen and paired it with the snowy paper from the Snow Flurries paper pad. I die cut these using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. I then used the snow flake paper from the Falling Snow Toner Card Front with silver foil. Once foiled, I distressed with pink. I cut this panel using the Bookmark die set. The bookmark was a bit long, so I die cut again shortening it.  I then used the  Let It Snow die. I used vellum and lavendar cardstock. While adhering, I inadvertently messed up a bit on the bookmark, so I adhered a silver snowflake using the  Snowfall die set. My last touch was adding the snow globe from the Holiday Postage Sampler stamp set. I loved the idea of a snow globe on a snowy card base!

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

I can't seem to get enough of these little snow people from the Snowman Postage Sampler stamp set. This week, I've created a playful wintery scene. I used the Basic Frames die set to create the window from the pink cardstock. I then added the blue glitter paper from the Cheerful Brights Glitter Cardstock Assortment and pulled white glitter paper from my stash which I die cut using the Land Borders die set. I die cut some snow flakes using the Snowfall die set. I modified the tag created using the Essential Tags die set for my sentiment. I placed all my snow people using some 3D foam tape.  I love the bright blue against the pink!  

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