Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release - Christmas Cuddles + Die

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 super sweet and fun Christmas Cuddles stamp and coordinating die set!! i LOVE this set! Newton is just SO sweet in this set, and i love all of those cute punny sentiments!! so adorable! 
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 couldn't resist using that sweet image of the two little kitties with the intertwined tails! so adorable! 


i used a circle shape as a guide to create that cute little night sky. i used Distress Inks and watercolored Chipped Sapphire, Peacock Feathers and Cracked Pistachio together! love how it came out!


i watercolored the image with Distress Markers and then used the dies to cut out the image as well as those adorable snowflakes! the snowflakes were heat embossed in white onto vellum and then stitched onto the background!
my second card is a little more graphic and FUN!

i used the present images and stamped them (along with the snowflake image) in black ink to create the bold and graphic background!


i watercolored newton peeking out of the box with Distress Markers and and then popped it up on top of some washi and assorted strips of red patterned papers! LOVE how this came out!
