Newton's Nook Designs Launch - Day 1


Hi there! I've had these little cuties under wraps for a weeks now. I'm so happy to be a part of the launch of a wonderful new stamp company...Newton's Nook Designs! You are in for a few days of adorable!!! 
I was excited and nervous when Jennifer asked me to be a part of Newton's Nook Designs. I haven't dabbled enough in cute and graphic stamps, so you can imagine how nervous I was. But after seeing the entire first release, and working with the stamp sets first hand, I just absolutely loved the adorable images!!! So I agreed to try it on for size and guest design for now! I really hope you'll like what I have for you these next few days!!! 


Today we're introducing Newton's Antics. I am a cat lover and so I absolutely love this set! For my first card, I tried my hand at paper piecing. I don't do it often, but I find that these images look wonderful paper pieced.  I kept things clean and simple! I adhered my paper pieced image over an oval piece of patterned paper. And since it was clean and simple, I used foam tape just to add some dimension to my card. I stamped my sentiment on a little banner that I created and tucked it under Newton. :)

For my second card, I have a little something more up my alley. I did some background stamping. You'll be seeing more of the cute little hear strings in another release day, but for now I just used it as a cute little background. I added the cute little paws here and there too.


Then I added a little circle where I stamped my sentiment, then adhered another paper pieced Newton over it. I also inked the edges of my cardstock with some pink distress ink. I was trying to make a masculine cat-lover card for my first card and a feminine cat-lover card for my second card! ;)


 I hope you all enjoyed that! For more inspiration, please head on over to Newton's Nook Designs and the other DT ladies blogs!
