Newton's Nook Designs January Release Day 4 - Newton’s Happy Mail + Coordinating Die

hello again!
we made it to the last day of the Newton's Nook Designs January release!!


today the whole team is showing off the Newton’s Happy Mail + Coordinating Die! this set is PERFECT for just dropping a little note to a friend!


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 January 20th, right here!

my first card is all kinds of color! lol!


i stamped, colored and die cut my images and then created an outdoor, wintry scene!
i used my oooooooold grass punch (yes, PUNCH, people! lol) and watercolored with Distress Inks in Cracked Pistachio and Twisted Citron! then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to add some dimension the leaves!


the background is a little watercolor-y with Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers, and then i sued a stencil of some snowflakes and embossing paste to create the background texture! love!

i went a little more 'white space' for my second card!


eeek! i think it's adorable! i love that black mailbox, it toally reminds me of ours! lol! i used a die cut circle i had lying around on my desk and drew on some grass with Copics and then blended out the sky with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass! 


i just love that curled sentiment, too!
