Newton’s Nook Designs Holiday Release: Day 1

Hello and welcome to day one of Newton’s Nook Designs’ Holiday Release!  I hope you’re ready for lots of ho-ho-holiday inspiration because we are bringing it this week!  I mean, this is seriously an amazing release that is sure to get you in the mood for Christmas crafting.

Slimline Christmas Vehicles card by Andrea Shell | Destination Christmas stamp by Newton's Nook Designs

First up is the super-fun Destination Christmas stamp.  I just love these retro vehicles (That beetle is my favorite because my brother had one just like it)!  After coloring these images with my Zigs, I cut them out with the coordinating dies.

I decided to create a slimline card to really showcase these fun images (and the long trek many take during the holidays).  To create my scene, I used the Mountains Stencil and the Hills & Grass Stencil.  I blended the Mountains Stencil with Shaded Lilac Distress Ink and White Glitz Glitter Gel for the snowcaps.  For the road I used a combination of Hickory Smoke and Black Soot Distress Inks and added Tumbled Glass for the sky.

I die-cut the black, scalloped mat with the Slimline Frames & Portholes Dies.  Once my background was dry, I trimmed it to fit inside the mat and adhered them together and then to a white card.  I attached my colored images with foam tape and added Glossy Accents to the windows.

Using the partial die-cutting technique, I die-cut a black banner with the Banner Trio Dies.  I white heat-embossed a sentiment from Destination Christmas onto black cardstock and attached the banner to my card with foam tape.

Next, we have the adorable Christmas Campers stamp set.  I love the retro feel of this set, too!  Again, I colored the images with my Zigs and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

To create the background for my camper, I combined distress inks with the Hills & Grass Stencil.  With the stencil secured to white cardstock, I blended with Mermaid Lagoon, Blueprint Sketch, and Chipped Sapphire Distress Inks.  I flicked white paint over the panel to represent snow or stars and attached the background to a white card with ScorTape.  I adhered my images with liquid adhesive and added Glossy Accents to the camper.

To frame my scene, I die-cut an A2 panel of white cardstock with the Circle Frames Dies.  I taped the two largest dies together to create the scalloped frame.  After blending my panel with Abandoned Coral and Candied Apple Distress Inks, I applied Festive Berries Distress Ink through the Gingham Stencil.  I added Aged Mahogany to the edges of the panel and flicked water over it.  I stamped a sentiment from Christmas Campers in black, attached the scalloped frame to the panel, and adhered the panel to my card with foam tape.
