I am so happy to joining in a fabulous event today. Tracey McNeely has begun her 7th annual 25 Days of Christmas Tags and today Newton’s Nook Designs is the featured sponsor. I have already gotten a sneak peek and you are going to have fun hopping through all the fabulous projects today (and for all 25 days!).
I thought it would be fun to create tags featuring the Snowfall Stencil and the words from the Snow Globe Shaker Dies. The dies make for quick work when you are making multiple tags. I simply used the dies on Red Glimmer Paper (Stampin’ Up). All the shine and no extra work! Perfect for the holidays. I used Embossing Paste with the stencils and just created an assembly line on them (make sure you wash off the embossing paste as soon as you can). I attached the words to some vellum and then glued the vellum pieces to the tags using Ranger Multi Medium Matte Glue. I colored a few rhinestones with a Copic marker and added those for more bling. Finally, I used the Mini Tinsel Trim (it comes in red and silver) to top off the tags. If you love sparkle for you holiday packaging, these are the tags for you!

Welcome to day 1 of the Holiday Release from Newton’s Nook Designs. I love holiday cards. Love them! They are some of my favorites to make and this week’s release is full of amazing products to use. I can hardly wait for you to see everything! We are starting off with two stamp sets and two stencils. Yes, I said starting off. Oh wow!!
The first set I get to show you today is called All Aboard For Christmas. It honestly does not get cuter than this! I just love how these little train cards can be mixed with the adorable contents to create fun combinations. I chose Santa’s train and then filled the cars with Newton and his reindeer friend. At first I was only going to do one car but I just could not stop coloring. So instead, I made a card that is 6″ x 4″ to accommodate the larger train. I chose my colors based on this designer paper from Stampin’ Up in classic Christmas colors so that I could make a coordinating envelope with my Envelope Punch Board for this non-standard card. And I didn’t have to leave off anything! Want to see the coloring closer?
If you love to color like I do, this is going to be a must have set. But this is only the beginning of the release. Because there is a fantastic sentiment set called Sentiments of the Season that is full of perfect outside and inside words for all your holiday cards. I am a sentiment hoarder (especially holiday ones) and this set made me jump for joy!
Just look at that pretty handwritten style on the Merry Christmas. Awesome! And the snowflakes, why yes you do spy one of the two new stencils. It is called Snowfall and it is great, don’t you think? I really wanted to show off the details of this stencil so I played around with a new to me product called Nuvo Gilding Flakes. They are pretty fun and I found that I could use them with my Tombow Multipurpose Adhesive. Super exciting for me to figure that out!! Want to see how I did it? I made a short video.
I stamped the sentiment in Versamark ink and embossed it using gold embossing powder and I love how the two gold techniques coordinate. There is such a pretty patina that comes from the gilding flakes and I think they really show off all the details of the stencil. There is an additional stencil that is amazing for the holidays too. With all the ways stencils can be used, they are such a great investment!
So wow. This is day 1. I told you it was going to be quite a week, didn’t I?! I hope you’ll go visit the rest of the design team because their work today is extraordinary! Oh, and of course you have a chance to win. Because Newton’s Nook Designs is awesome like that!
