Feline Frosty Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Feline Frosty!

Is it hot where you live today? Cool off with this snowy card by Ellen!

This fun card features the trio of kitties playing in the snow from our Newton's Snowman Stamp Set. She colored the image with alcohol markers and added tons of amazing details with dots and strips on the kitties fur. She cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Snowman Die Set. 

For the scene she created an inky sky with distress inks and then cut the panel out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. She added black birch trees on each side using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set and snow across the card bottom using layers of white cut out with our Sea Borders Die Set and Land Borders Die Set. A few snowflakes in the sky were stamped on vellum to finish the fun snowy scene and she used our Speech Bubbles Die Set to hold the message "Feline frosty."

We hope this card has made your day a bit cooler! We hope that you will cool off with some winter themed crafting too!

A Snowy Celebration Card by Farhana Sarker

A Snowy Celebration!

Today we have a lovely card by Farhana that is perfect for a winter birthday or celebration! She colored the trio of kitties building a snowman from our Newton's Snowman Stamp Set using watercolors in a fun bright color palette. She cut the image out with the coordinating Newton's Snowman Die Set and layered the image over a stitched rectangle piece that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. On this rectangle she embossed the birthday image from our Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set, to add to the celebratory feel! The sentiment "Time to Celebrate" was stamped from the Birthday Roundabout Stamp Set onto a banner cut out using our Banner Trio Die Set.  For a finishing touch, she added a few sparkly gems. 

She layered this fun image panel over a snowflake filled background that was created by embossing white snowflakes from the Snowman Greetings Stamp Set and the Newton's Snowman Stamp Set.

Here is a close up so you can the beautiful coloring and the embossing:

We hope that you enjoyed this beautiful card by Farhana! You can find more of Farhana's creations and say hello to her over at her blog, Everyday Engineered.

Today's Featured guest is
Tammy Stark

Hi there! I'm Tammy, and I live in southern Nevada with my hubby, two amazing teenage daughters, and adorable pup. I have been crafting my entire life - from scrapbooking, to creating party favors, to more recently, card making. I actually taught scrapbooking classes for many years, and loved it! I discovered stamping and cardmaking when I was looking for products to make party favors for my daughter's birthday, and completely fell in love! I gravitate towards fun, whimsical, and happy designs that make me smile, and I can never turn down a good pun! When I'm not creating, you can find me drinking coffee with my sketchbook, thinking about creating, haha! I am ecstatic to be joining Newton's Nook this month as a guest designer, and can't wait to share my creations with you!

Here's what Tammy created:

Tammy has created an adorable matching card and tag with our Newton's Snowman Stamp Set! 

For the card, she colored image of the trio of kitties building a snowman from our Newton's Snowman Stamp Set in fun wintery colors! She used the coordinating Newton's Snowman Die Set to cut the image out. Then she created a gorgeous slimline scene for the kitties to play in! She our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to cut out some birch trees to set the wintery scene. The gorgeous snowy background was created using our Snowfall Stencil with white texture paste over a blue distress inked background! So lovey! 

The whole slimline scene was framed with a scalloped edge, cut out using the large frame die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set. 

For the matching tag, she used the same colors on the image of the kitties from our Newton's Snowman Stamp Set but switched them up a bit so that the kitties are in opposite colors than they are in the first image. Which version do you prefer?  She created a smaller snowy background on the tag using our Petite Snow Stencil over her blue background. The tag was also cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. 

This set of projects is so adorable! 

Thanks so much, Tammy for being our guest today! She will be back for our Deck the Halls with Inky Paws blog hop on Friday, December 4th. Until then, you can visit her at her blog, Paper Pretty Boutique to read more about her adorable projects and say hello!

Tomorrow we will have special Guest Tina from The Scrappin' Rabbit

so make sure you take some time to come back and visit us again!
