Hello and welcome to the final day of the Newton’s Nook January reveals! Thanks so much for joining me during the release week and leaving nice and sweet comments! I appreciate a lot all your love and support!

All the new January products will be available for purchase tomorrow on Friday, January 22th at Newton’s Nook Designs online store and other craft retailers!

The final day of the reveal has reserved us two small, but not less adorable Newton’s Mug and Love Café stamp sets. Both new sets come with the coordinating Newton’s Mug Die and Love Café Die.

Giveaway alert!! NND is giving away new Newton’s Mug and Love Café stamp sets to lucky winners so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

My first card that features Newton’s Mug bundle, turned out as a sweet watercolor project with a pop of bright and cheerful colors!

Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Fabriano Extra White Hot Pressed watercolor paper the kitty inside the mug using the coordinating Newton’s Mug Die Set.
• Stamp the open images from Newton’s Mug stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. Use the negative parts of the dies inside your stamping positioning tool for a perfect alignment.
• Trim another piece of watercolor paper and repeatedly stamp the coffee beans with Archival ink in Coffee color, creating a patterned paper.
• Color the mug and the coffee background with regular watercolors.
• Stamp the bold coffee beans from Love Café stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink in the center of the mug.
• Heat embossed in white on black the sentiment from Newton’s Mug stamp set and shape the paper into a fish-tail banner with a pair of small scissors.
• Die cut the scalloped heart from vellum with Heart Frames Die and trim two stripes from patterned paper.
• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Desert Storm cardstock.
• Assemble all the elements together.
• Finish with a couple of clear sparkling sequins.
