Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing the Newton's Nook Designs May Release. This set is called A Cozy Day In. It is the new 4x4 size and has one large image perfect for those who love cats and books. For today's card I masked off the image and created a Distress Ink background.

Newton's Nook Designs May Release Happy Little Thoughts

Hello crafty friends! Today I am sharing the Newton's Nook Designs May Release. This set is called Happy Little Thoughts and has a coordinating die set. I think this is a great all occasion set. I love the idea of being able to build pretty custom wreaths for cards since the die set also cuts out all the small elements. I did some colored stamping for the wreath and no line Copic coloring for the bow. To keep with the soft pretty colors I used a bit of vellum to build up the layers without adding too much visual weight. We have a lot of awesome new products to share with you this week and I'll have a video or two later this week as well. Also keep reading to find out how to win this set!
