Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Festive Flamingos

hi hi hi!
i am so excited for this week!
it's a BIG week!!

today is day 1 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday release!! woo!!


today, the whole DT is showcasing the unique and adorable Festive Flamingos stamp set! i LOVE this set! i live in South Carolina, and as you can imagine, it stays pretty warm here in the winter - so tropical Christmas cards just make my day!
you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on October 16th, right here!

for my first card, i just HAD to use the 'pink Christmas' phrase!


i used Distress Inks to create the blended background (Worn Lipstick and Spun Sugar) and i really like how they came out!


the flamingos were colored with copics and i just LOVE the pops of green with the pink!! so so cute!! i also added some black and white striped washi behind the main card panel for a bit of contrast!

my second card is more clean and simple!


i used a star stencil and white embossing paste to create the background. then i added my cute little flamingo with foam tape! and i love the little foot prints you can add for the flamingos!!


I heat embossed the sentiment in platinum and then added some metallic silver washi down the sides, too!

  1. I would be hard pressed to pick my favorite from these two cards. Both are just adorable (love the stamp set) and I love them both! All the pink with the flamingos is great but the white background is so very pretty too! Guess it's a tie for me.

  21. BEAUTIFUL cards! I LOVE LOVE the pink sky on the first one - so pretty and perfect for a PINK Christmas wish! And the second card is equally gorgeous - I love the almost all white background with tiny touches of pink and the pink flamingo popping off! I'm getting inspired to send out pink holiday cards now...
