Newton's Nook Designs' September Release ~ Final Day

Welcome back for the last day of Newton's Nook Designs' September Release!  Today we debut a fun & festive fall & Halloween set featuring my favorite symbol of the season - Pumpkins!!  Introducing 'Pick A Pumpkin':

And did I mention it has a DIE that coordinates PURRfectly too?!!  ;)

Cool right?  I decide to make a few Halloween cards with today's sneaked supplies:

The first card I just had fun playing with traditional Halloween colors and all the patterns Jen included in the set along with the coordinating die (I think the stem looks pretty just cut out without the stamping!):

Here's a tip if you need to crank out a lot of mini cards or tags FAST - you can use the the pumpkin and jack-o-lantern face on the same piece of orange cardstock and if you adhere it to black cardstock the 'carved' face shows through without having to cut the facial features out separately and glue them in place. like I did here in this mini Halloween card (I just love making little 3" x 3" mini cards!  They are so cute to tuck into lunch boxes, presents, etc.).  So for this card all you need to do is hold the pumpkin & face dies in place with a little washi or painter's tape on a piece of orange cardstock and do the same with the stem die on a teenie scrap of green or brown cardstock - run it through your die cut machine ONCE and adhere in place - VOILA!  Easy peasy!

Newton's Nook Designs' September Release ~ Day 2

Welcome back for the second day of Newton's Nook Designs' September Release.  Today's set is going to be perfect for animal lovers, cheerleaders and sports players and fans a like -- introducing 'Touchdown Tails':

A little something for everyone, am I right?  I could not resist giving that CUTE bulldog a little love and made a birthday card for one of my many nephews:

Seriously, isn't he just ADORABLE?!!  I used some sports-themed papers from and stamped the sentiments and punched them out with a banner punch and used Martha Stewart's grass border punch on the grass patterned paper, LOL!  I love that this particular oval that I stamped the bulldog into has a slight football shape to it as well....

Newton's Nook Designs' September Release ~ Day 1

Welcome to the first day of the September Release for Newton's Nook Designs!  All of you coffee lovers are going to want to POUNCE on today's reveal -- 'Newton Loves Coffee':

Aren't these seriously the most adorable coffee loving designs?  Personally, I am not a coffee drinker (I just heard a deafening collective 'GASP!!' from all of you, LOL!) but I do enjoy hot chocolate, cocoa and vanilla chai tea, so a lot of these images are perfect for us tea & hot chocolate lovers as well!  

I picked Newton clinging to the to-go coffee cup for my card since it coordinating purr-fectly with this embossing folder by Tim Holtz for Sizzix:

I went CAS on this one as I am recovering from surgery, besides, Newton is so cute he really steals the show anyway!  ;)  I am sure it will make one of my coffee loving friends happy on their birthday.

Newton's Nook Designs' ~ Inky Paws Challenge #25: Halloween Theme

Hello Everyone!  My post is a little late, but I wanted to remind everyone there is still PLENTY of time to play along with the latest challenge from Newton's Nook Designs -- a Halloween theme!

Thinking most folks would use pumpkins on their cards, I decided to give Spooky Street a little love instead for my challenge card:

Had some fun with a few strategically placed bat-shaped & Jack-o-Lantern-shaped sequins, a strip of purple rhinestones and finished the bottom off with Martha Stewart's Drippy Goo edger punch and TA DA!  A fun & festive Halloween card!  I really liked how this DP incorporated light blue in with the Halloween color palette. 

Are you ready to get your paws inky with us and play along to win a prize?  The Challenge winner will receive a $10 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs' online store and an Inky Paws Challenge Top Pick Badge to add to your blog!  AND IF there are more than 15 participants, Jen will choose TWO winners, so be sure to tell your friends to play along too!  Please visit the Newton's Nook Designs' blog HERE for all the details!

Can't wait to see what YOU create!  Have a happy Friday!
