Welcome to day 1 of the November Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. We have such fun products to show you this week and we are starting today with lots to share. Two stamp sets and two new stand alone die sets….wow!
Our first set I’m showing you is called Cup of Cocoa! ** Warning: Triggers uncontrollable tendencies to run to the kitchen and make some cocoa immediately!! ** I used the Color Theory paper from Stampin’ Up and the Snowfall Stencil from Newton’ Nook as an embossing folder. This is a great way to stretch your stencils and add fun details to a background. I colored this adorable cup from the set to match the ombré paper. Fun, right?! The new Frames & Flags Dies create quick banners that layer wonderfully and all I had to do was add a sentiment from the stamp set.
For my second card, I get to show you Frozen Fellowship. This is perfect for holiday cards but it continues to work into the rest of winter too! The minute I saw this set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do. I loved the idea of choosing one of the snowmen to stand out as unique and the used this fabulous sentiment. Using my Zig Clean Color Markers, I colored all the snowmen in shade of gray. Then chose this funny little guy at the bottom for full color (I confess that choosing which snowman to have color was the hard part, haha). I used the new Frames & Flags Dies again here and you can see how awesome they are to create layers.
Yes, indeed, this is another amazing day 1. And I did tell you there are two new stand alone dies. The other one (which I will use later this week) is called the Fancy Edges Tag Die set and you are going to love it! You can see all the features in the graphic below. Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week. A chance to win!!

Love the background of your first card!!! It is a trick I do know but forget too often! It really does add a nice interest to the card!
Oh my gosh I love what you did with the snowmen! What a clever idea!!! Having just the one pop with color is genus! Thank you for sharing!
love snowmans!
your card is so very adorable!
hugs
I love the simplicity of your card.
Fun and beautifully colored cards! I was thinking I’d color just one of the snowmen too, and I especially like your layout on the hot chocolate card.
Love these! So cute, Jennifer!
I love what I see now and will be shopping early so I don’t miss out!
Tis the season I’ll go broke for new Newton’s stamps lol ❤❤❤
So pretty and fun. Love that green frame around the snowmen!
Simple but effective! Both cards are gorgeous!
Your cards are fabulous.
I am so in love with the new stamps and dies! Great job featuring them and fab coloring!
these are to die for! Frozen Fellowship would be my 1st choice.
I love your cards! The gradient on your cocoa mug card creates such depth & intensity I just love it! (and I happen to love cocoa as well) and I think coloring just one of the cute snowmen really highlights the spirit behind the sentiment. Thank you for the beautiful holiday inspiration!
Just too darn cool!!!!
Hi Jen! I love your adorable cards! The hot chocolate mugs are just so fun and festive. I’ve been searching for a great hot beverage set and I think I’ve just found the perfect one! I really love having matching dies too. The snowmen card looks really cool how you highlighted just one to match your sentiment, too clever! And from the photo it almost looks like there’s a light sheen of sparkle around the frame. So pretty!
Love the background on your cocoa cup card!
I love both cards. The embossed snowflake background is wonderful.
Your projects are perfect!
