I am back today with a lovely little card, which is a tribute to my love for books. I mixed the new Never Enough Books stamp set and an older cute on from Newton’s Nook Designs, let me guide you through the process.
Then I die cut a piece of light grey cardstock with a die from Frames and Tags set. Then I used a bit of grey ink to add shading to the edges.
I simply stamped a sentiment on the top of the panel and arranged the books and accessories as on the picture. For some I used 3D foam squares, to get a dimensional scene.
As a finishing touch I added clear shimmer to some of the books and emphasized some details with glossy accents. The shine in the eyes of the puppy I achieved with a black glaze pen.
I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration and will come back soon for more!
It is always sad when we reach the final day of the reveals, but the good news is that all these adorable products in the Newton’s Nook DesignsApril Release will be available on Friday, 19/04! Today we are showcasing 2 new small stamp& die sets: Newton’s Bubble Tea and Puppy’s Bubble Tea. Aren’t they adorable?
CARD 1
For my first card I stamped and coloured the cute kitty from Newton’s Bubble Tea using Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.
While I was die cutting I cut the base for my shaker with the Basic Frames die set: one banner from kraft and one from guava cardstock. On the latter I die cut a window with another die from the same set. I stamped a sentiment just under the die cut window. I backed it with clear acetate and added thick foam tape around it. I filled the shaker with some pastel confetti (Pretty Pink Posh) and adhered the backing carefully.
For the background I used the Bubbles stencil on a cream note card with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.
To make the scene more playful, I added some red twine to the top of the card and another sentiment, which I have stamped on a white Speech Bubble. As a finishing touch I used glossy accents on the straw and the bubbles.
CARD 2
For the puppy card I stamped, coloured and die cut the image from Puppy’s Bubble Tea. I used Copic markers and made the tea green. I used the Basic Frames die set to cut a cornflower blue background for the dog and a bigger rectangle from woodgrain cardstock which I ink blended and splattered with black and white acrylic paint before adhering the focal panel on it.
I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set on the woodgrain cardstock using Stazon ink.
For the background I chose the Woof stencil and used it directly on the card base with Pine Needles, Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks.
As a finishing touch I added a few lime green confetti and used glossy accents on the straw and bubbles.

I hope you enjoyed the whole week of the reveals and you got plenty of inspiration on how to use the new release. It is time to get ready to shop! If you like my cards, please make sure to follow me on Instagram, where I share more of my creations and also some tips and tricks.
I created a card and bookmark set, a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. I started with stamping and colouring a bunch of flowers all at once as I had no idea how much I will need in the end. I used light pink Copic markers and added a bit darker strokes in the middle of each flower. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out.
To build the background for the card I die cut the A2 Card Layout die from brown and cream cardstock and also cut a 4,25*5,5 inches piece of textured pink cardstock to be the mat. I adhered on it the brown frame first and paper pieced the 2 long cream rectangles. On the smaller rectangles I did some quick ink blending with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink making sure that the edges are darker than the middle of the rectangles.
I adhered the cherry blossom branches using 3D foam squares and a couple of more little flowers too. I stamped the sentiment in the middle from the Best Mom Oval stamp set with brown ink.
As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the middle of each flower.
For the bookmark I used the new Bookmark II die set to cut the base from cream cardstock. I like my bookmarks sturdy so I always make them double layer. In this way the stitching is pretty on both sides of the bookmark.
I adhered a few leftover brown rectangles randomly on the cream background before adhering a cherry blossom branch.
I used a pretty Gina K Designs ribbon and some Candy Cane twine to embellish the top.

It is day 2 of the Newton’s Nook Designs April Release reveals ad we are going florals today with the Floral Delights stamp and die set. I love the size of these flowers and all the colour variation we can use for both the daisies and echinacea.
All new designs will be available on 19/04/2024.
CARD 1
I started with stamping and colouring the echinacea twice using Copic markers. I used pink shades but made them slightly different. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
Then I die cut some coloured cardstock with the Frames and Tags dies and also added an in between white layer using the Basic Frames die set. I assembled the focal panel and inserted the flowers between the layers.
I used one of the leftover green rectangles to hold the sentiment, which I stamped from the Best Mom Oval stamp set. I added a little shading to the edges using Mowed Law Distress Oxide ink. I adhered it in place and embellished it with a cute butterfly.
For the background I chose a pretty striped patterned paper from the Pastel Basics paper pad. As a finishing touch I added a few pink pearls (Pretty Pink Posh)
CARD 2
As always I stamped, coloured and die cut a daisy and a few bees, I used Copic markers for the colouring. I love that the coordinating dies cut the little holes in between the flowers! I tied a little bow on the stems and adhered them to a strip of grey cardstock.
I white heat embossed a sentiment on the bottom of the panel and used the Frames and Tags die set to cut a decorative edge from yellow cardstock to decorate it. It looks awesome in real life!
For the background I chose a green striped paper from the Pastel Basics paper pad. As a finishing touch I scattered a few yellow confetti (Pretty Pink Posh).
I also used a clear shimmer pen on the wings of the bees and added glossy accents to the middle of the flowers.

For my card I stamped and coloured all the images from the stamp set using Copic markers. I used pastel colours, 2-3 shades of each colour family. I cut them all out with their coordinating dies.
Then I die cut a kraft banner using the Basic Frames die set and popped up the shelves in the middle with 3D foam squares. I also die cut a dark green zig zag rectangle using the Frames and Tags die set, adhered the banner on the left side and popped up the stack of books on the other side.
I white heat embossed a sentiment on the bottom of the panel and used the remaining images to make the scene complete.
As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen and glossy accents to emphasize some of the details. I also added some tiny pearls to the middle of the flowers.

It is my turn on the Newton’s Nook Designs blog and as I am living in rural Australia now, my card for today was heavily inspired by the nature surrounding us. We see a lot of cows everywhere we go. So this cutie was born in my head, let me guide you through the process.
Then I die cut a black banner with the new Basic Frames die set and added a bit of white pigment ink on the edges. I stamped a sentiment on a white Speech Bubble and assembled the scene on the banner.
For the background I chose a pretty gingham paper from the Bright Basics paper pad and cut it out with a die from Frames and Tags. Before mounting the focal panel on the background, I wrapped a natural twine around it and tied it in a little bow. I used 3D foam squares to adhere the images and embellished the scene with a few confetti from Pretty Pink Posh.
As a finishing touch I added an extra sentiment from the Birthday Essentials stamp set and used a clear shimmer pen on the balloons.
I hope you enjoyed my card and you will pop in again soon for more inspiration.
It is the last day of the Back to Basics release reveals, but I must admit that this die is my favourite: it is called A2 card layout die set and It is gorgeous! I love all the paper piecing options it gives, plus the stitching details always have my heart.
I started with cutting the die one from patterned paper from the Pastel Basics paper pad, once from peacock cardstock and the middle part from a matching light blue scrap. I paper pieced them on an A2 sized white notecard.
Before popping up the image in the middle with 3D foam squares, I stamped 2 sentiments on the horizontal panels in black.
I added a few mini clouds as embellishments, and used a clear shimmer pen on the balloons and present to make them festive.

All sets were revealed on Monday on the NND blog and will be available for purchase in the store on Friday, 22nd March!
My card today focuses on the Basic Frames die set. I love that big banner, I had to use it on this clean and simple card!
I started with stamping the pretty floral from Dainty Daises, and quickly coloured it with Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.
Then I die cut the big banner from a purple dots patterned paper from the new Bright Basics paper set. For the background I chose a light grey cardstock and die cut it with a die from Frames and Tags. I stamped a sentiment on the bottom and popped up the banner with 3D foam tape. I mounted the daisies with 3D foam squares too for extra dimension and added a little twine to the stems.
As a finishing touch I used glossy accents on the flower centers. I love this design with all the stitched details!

I am so happy to be part of the new release reveals of Newton’s Nook Designs! This month we are featuring fun new die sets, 2 fantastic paper pads and a cute little stamp and die set. All sets were revealed yesterday on the NND blog and will be available for purchase in the store on Friday, 22nd March!
I used the new Frames and Tag die set to create the background for the image: I cut the different dies from coloured cardstock and backed the frame with a piece of patterned paper from the Bright Basics paper pad. I also added a pink mat to it before adhering it to the green backdrop, just because I love layers.
I stamped the sentiment on the patterned paper directly. As the paper has a bit shiny finish and because my regular ink pad is drying out, I used black Staz-on ink for the sentiment. I love how crisp and bright black it turned out!
After adhering the die cut image, I added a bit of glossy accents to the cake and tray, and a bit of clear shimmer to the presents and candles. The sunglasses are so shiny black because I used black glaze pen over it. So cool!

I am back today with an adorable critter card for Easter using an older favourite stamp from Newton’s Nook Designs. I paired them with a couple of other dies to create this little Easter scene, let me guide you through the process.
First I stamped and coloured the images from Newton’s Peeps using Copic markers. I kept the kitties light grey, to make the bunch of yellow chickens stand out. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out.
To set the scene I die cut a rounded rectangle from light green cardstock with a die from Frames and Flags. Added grass which I cut with a Land Border die from dark green cardstock and arranged the die cut images. That kitty hiding behind the grass is my favourite, so cheeky!
The sentiment I stamped on a grey Speech Bubble and adhered it to the scene. I love to add a sentiment as part of the design!
For the background I used the Basketweave stencil with brown ink on kraft cardstock and die cut the panel with a die from Framework. It adds a nice touch to the focal panel. As always, I had to use glossy accents on the ribbon and the beaks of the chicks, and I also made there eyes shiny with a black glaze pen.
I hope you liked my card and got inspired to create some cute scenes for Easter.
