I’m back for Day two of Newton’s Nook Falloween release! Today I created a fun Halloween card using new dies. The sentiment dies are big and bold. I love how they fill the space on an A2 card.
I used the following products for these projects.
Halloween Accessories dies
Halloween Sentiment dies
Dog Builder dies
Halloween Party Paper Pad
I had some premade dogs from the Dog Builder dies so when I received the Accessories die set, I was excited to pair them up. I put my pup in the pumpkin costume and gave him a Trick or Treat bag. I did snip the bag handle to fit it on the pup’s arm but I made sure the cut would be hidden behind his arm.
To bring the card together I used pattern paper and a strip of black cardstock to ground the sentiment and dog.
The Newton’s Nook Falloween release is Thursday, September 24! We’ll be doing a IG hop tomorrow to celebrate the release!
Hello! This week I’ll be sharing some projects with a new release from Newton’s Nook.
I used the following products for these projects.
Autumn Cats
Autumn Dogs Stamps
Autumn Leaves Paper Pack
Card layout 6
Corner flip die
For my first card I used the Card Layout 6 die and cut it from white cardstock. I used the corner flip die to die cut paper from the Autumn leaves paper pack. I was careful when die cutting to make sure where the corner flipped it lined up. You don’t need to do this but it was the look I wanted.
I stamped the little pup in leaves directly on center cardstock piece and colored with my Olo markers.
My next project focused on the Autumn cats. I used a strip on white cardstock and stamped the cats in a line and colored. I took advantage of the beautiful Autumn Leaves pattern paper and made a simple design with the cats in the middle.
Come back tomorrow for Day two of the Newton’s Nook Falloween release!
Hi Crafty Friends! I am back with a blog post to celebrate Newton’s Nook 13th birthday! This special release includes a Hula Hooping Newton.
I created a couple cards to share today and then be sure to join us tomorrow for an Instagram hop where I will be sharing a project with movement. The products I used were the Hula Hoop Newton, Birthday Time paper pack and Frames and Flags die set.
These cards were quick to make but the pattern paper makes them a show stopper. The paper pack coordinates so well and even helped me to choose the colors of the balloons and hula hoop.
The project below came to be because I had to use every scrap of the pretty paper.
Don’t forget to check my Instagram tomorrow for a fun hop! If you like these projects, you’ll love that project…plus there is a giveaway!
I am back to share another amazing My Monthly Hero release. Hero Arts has two subscription choices. My Monthly Hero and My Monthly Super Hero. Both are a great value and always packed with products.
Today I am sharing a few similar cards using the color pallette that came in the kit. I started by having a die cutting party. I die cut the rectangle pool float and popsicle from MMH kit and the shirt ruffle and soda can/straw from each of the colors in the pack minus the fawn. I die cut the popsicle sticks from Hero Arts Sand and the soda cans from Spellbinders Fog. Not gonna lie, the die cutting took me a bit but I got into a rhythm and was watching a baseball game.
I used my Olo markers on the pool float and popsicles to add some shadows and color blocks. The popsicle card was easy, I layed out the popsicles but ended up removing one of the teal ones to have space for a sentiment. I stamped the sentiment directly on the card base in the center. Then I popped up the popsicles with foam tape and arranged them around the sentiment.
Pool float card is similar. I stenciled a background with the water stencil, on the last layer I used White Pearl Hero Paste. I didn’t really like the look of the Pearl Hero Paste on the water but I was not about to waste the panel! I also white heat embossed the sentiment and die cut it. After the background panel dried, I arranged and popped up the sentiment and pool floats. I made sure to let some floats hand off the edge. I honestly like the pearl paste under the pool floats, it makes it look like the water is shimmering in the sunlight.
If it’s not broke, don’t fix it. I continued the repetitive theme with the soda cans. I used my Olo markers to add some color variation to the cans and lay them out on a diagonal. Because I wanted to put all 9 cans with straws on the card panel, I had to put them on the diagonal. I glued the cans first. Then I went back and glued the colored stripe and straw. I had to cut those straws down first. The cans needed a little something so I used a flower stamp and Clear Embossing ink to get the subtle flowers. I was still lost for a sentiment but I went with a simple Hello and used an ink to match the can I was covering. I used Butter Bar Hero Hues ink.
The last card was fun. I actually cut the ruffle twice from each color. I cut down a panel of heavy weight white cardstock to 3.5 inches by 5.5 inches. I started at the bottom and worked my way up because I wanted a layered look. I did not do each layer exactly the same. I had variation while aligning my layers. Before glueing the last pink layer, I trimmed the panel down. I matted that ruffled panel on another white panel that measured 4.5 x 4inches and then adhered that to a card base. There was going to be an uneven mat so I trimmed my card base so the panel was evenly centered.
Whew! That’s it. While the cards were die cut heavy, the impact of the colorful cardstock and repetition is so good. I love a bright rainbow and these projects make me smile. I hope you found some inspiration in my projects today!
I’m so excited to be joining WOW! Embossing Powder today to celebrate the release of their brand-new designer collection: Ethereal Meadows, created by the incredible Brennan Keane!

To be honest, the way these powders catch the light is something you really have to see in action!

We’re sharing a huge wave of inspiration across both Blogs and YouTube today—and we’d love for you to join us on the journey!
I mixed some of my favorite products with Buttercup Blossom to create two cheerful cards. I embossed the background with a Hero Arts Bold Print to create this bright monochromatic background. When I embossed this background I also embossed a full sheet of to die cut flowers from. These large floral dies are from Hero Arts as well. The sentiments are from Pink & Main.
The second project is a two for one card. I used the leftover flowers and created a whole new card. If I were to do this again, I would used the Buttercup Blossom on shadow layer of the sentiment. But, since this was the second *whispers* leftovers card, it’s perfect.
We’re celebrating the Ethereal Meadows release with a fabulous giveaway, and you’ve got multiple chances to win!
