Happy Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop! I'm proud to say I've played along with every Coffee Lover's Blog Hop since the beginning and every season I look forward to the next one. I can't wait to be inspired by all the fall themed coffee projects during this hop.

Pumpkin Spice Coffee Card with Foiled Leaves Background

The card I've created today uses a stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs called Fall-ing For You. I stamped it with brown ink onto a white die cut tag and then inked the edges with Distress Ink in Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain. I then added a burlap ribbon bow.

The die cut leaves are cut from cardstock (Gina K Designs - Red Velvet, Sweet Mango, Wild Dandelion and Grass Green) using the Newton's Nook Designs Autumn Leaves Die Set. I inked them just slightly with some Vintage Photo Distress Ink.

Welcome to Day 4 of Newton's Nook Designs September Release! Today we finish off our reveal week with a Halloween stamp set featuring the ever adorable Newton called Newton's Costume Party.

This set is one of my new favorites! Beside being Halloween themed, I love that you can "dress" Newton up in a variety of costumes. When I colored and die cut all of the images, I felt like I was playing with paper dolls!

Happy Halloween Card | Newton's Costume Party

Newton needed some friends to go trick or treating with, so stamped the cat image several times and colored it a variety of different colors. I then picked some of my favorite Halloween costumes from the stamp set and went to town dressing each one up. Once I had picked out each cat's costume, I adhered the layers together to create the little scene.
The night sky behind them was created using the Newton's Nook Designs Sky Borders cloud die. I die cut several borders and then inked them up with Distress Oxide in Black Soot, Wilted Violet and Peacock Feather. I then splattered it with some water and dabbed that dry. The final touch was to splatter it with a bit of white acrylic paint, just slightly watered down to make it easier to splatter.


For the grass, I used the Newton's Nook Designs Land Borders grass die and lightly ink blended it with Distress Oxide in Peeled Paint.

Check out all the fun costumes that you can dress Newton in for Halloween! The options are amazing and you are sure to have a blast creating your own little costume party scene with this new stamp set.

It's Day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs September Release and the Halloween fun continues with two new stamp sets - Beautiful Bones and Spooky Skeletons. You can win one of these new stamp sets, so make sure to check out all of the details below.

Happy Halloween Card | Spooky Skeletons Stamp Set

These spooky, but still cute skeleton critters called out to be made into a background pattern. I pulled out my MISTI and some black in and went to town creating my pattern.
Once I was finished, I inked up the edges with some Wilted Violet Distress Oxide. I then stamped two bats and die cut them using the coordinating Beautiful Bones Dies. For a touch of extra fun, I added a few bat sequins and adhered them with double sided foam adhesive.



For my card, I choose to go with a Halloween theme. To achieve this look, I did not color the skulls to look like sugar skulls. I stamped them with Versamark Embossing Ink and embossed them with white embossing powder. I then ink blended the entire background using Distress Oxide in Wilted Violet. For a touch of distress, I sprinkled the paper with water and then blotted it dry.

To create the frame, I used the Cameo Frame Die and the frame die from the Creepy Cameos Die Set to cut out a layer a frame for my sentiment. We shared about these new dies and stamps on Day 2. I then stamped the "trick or treat" and bats onto the white cardstock. For a touch of texture, I added some Glossy Accents to the bats.

Happy Halloween Card | Creepy Cameos and Cameo Frame Die

The set I'm using for this card is called Creepy Cameos. I began by stamping the Mr. and Mrs. Skeleton with black ink onto white cardstock and then die cut them using the coordinating Creepy Cameo dies.

The Stamptember® Celebration continues today and I'm so excited to share that Newton's Nook Designs has an exclusive stamp set being released as part of this month long celebration with Simon Says Stamp.

Hello Friends and welcome to Day 1 of the Newton's Nook Designs September Release! This release is packed full of all things fall and you are sure to fall head over heels in love with it!

Truly Grateful Card | Shades of Autumn Stamp Set

First up I'm sharing a card I created using the Shades of Autumn Stamp Set. This set is so unique in that the stamps have a textured look to them that makes them a blast to stamp with. I used the stamps to create a custom background that has the look of falling leaves. This is always one of my favorite ways to create a card.

I then stamped the sentiment with Versamark Embossing Ink and heat set it with gold embossing powder. The final touch was a bit of green twine for a touch of color and texture.

Be Thankful Card | Falling Leaves Stencil

Next up, I'm sharing a card I created using the new Falling Leaves Stencil. If you didn't know, Newton's Nook has added stencils to their product offering and this is one of their latest designs.


To embellish the card, I created a tag. First I stamped and colored the cute Newton from the Autumn Newton Stamp Set using my Chameleon Pens. I then took a die cut tag and inked the edges with some Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Ink. Finally, I added the sentiment, adhered Newton with some double sided foam tape and attached a bow.
