Celebrate with us and enter to win! Would you like to win a $10 coupon for Newton’s Nook Designs online shop? We will be choosing TWO lucky winners! Details are below but, first, some inspiration. 🙂

Seriously, is this Newton’s best release or what? I’m so excited to be back for this first anniversary blog hop! My first card uses the Beach Party stamp set. I laughed out loud when I first saw that dog catching the frisbee and I had to use him on my card.



I created a beach scene by mixing and matching patterned papers from Something Wonderful and Urban MarketI made the sand dunes by die cutting the papers with Paper Smooches’ Borders 1, then die cutting a second time using the new Stitched Dies. Yup, they line up perfectly with the Borders 1 hills. Love that.

My second card uses Newton’s Summer stamp set. This has to be my favourite NND stamp set ever. I love every single image. I have a thing for fish bowls so, naturally, I had to watercolour Newton with his scuba gear on. I used Ranger Archival ink to stamp the image and sentiment and watercoloured with Gansai paints. If you look closely, you can see where I used the silver on the goggles and the gold below the sentiment. The card base uses patterned paper from The Story of Us. I love those ombre stripes.

Here’s how to win:
