Welcome to day 1 of the April Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. We have another exciting week in store for you and we have spring on the mind! Today, Newton starts us off with Newton’s Graduation (and, of course, the coordinating dies) along with a new stand alone die set called Essential Alphabet.
It is time to start thinking about the end of the school year (where has it gone?!!) and I know there will be some important graduations coming for many of you. This adorable Newton is great for those but also can multitask to cheer someone on for other big life events. I have just the person in mind for this one…she just started a new job and I’m excited for the possibilities!
I stamped Newton onto Fabriano Watercolor Paper and then colored with Daniel Smith paints. After coloring, I was inspired by the globe colors and went digging around into my papers to see what I could find. Sure enough, this retired set from Stampin’ up was perfect to use! Using the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch #267 which seemed great for showing off our kitty friend. And oh, this sentiment…isn’t it great?!
Our second reveal for the day is an alphabet die set that is a must have! The style of the letters fits almost any card type you could need to make. I will show it to you on a card tomorrow but I know some of the team will have great inspiration today. Make sure to hop through and enjoy the projects!Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week. A chance to win!!

Love the your choice of patterned paper to go with your stamp. It fits so well!
YAY! Super cute! I love the notebook paper! Nice touch! And the idea of using him without the hat so you could give it to a teacher or student any time is great!

Love seeing Newton on the graph paper with spiral notebook binding showing. Newton looks like he’s more than ready to take the world into his paws and run with it! Nice job!
