Bear on Holiday Ball Card by Donna Mikasa for Newton's Nook Designs | Winter Tails Stamp set
Our guest designer for November Donna Mikasa decided to play along with this adorable card using our Winter Tails stamp set.  She changed the snowball that Winston is rolling on into a pretty ornament! Such a fun idea! I love the fun shape of this card too! 


Santa Crab Holiday Card by Tessa Wise for Newton's Nook Designs | SEAsons Greetings Stamp set
Tessa created this adorable card using the little crab and "joy" stamps from the SEAson's Greetings stamp set! I love the layered tags and little staples as decoration! 

Dinosaur Christmas Card by Danielle Pandeline for Newton's Nook Designs
Here's a really fun, non-traditional holiday card by Danielle! I love the cute Dino in the santa hat! So fun! She used a bunch of NND sets on this: Snowflakes from Beautiful Blizzard, Dinosaur from Prehistoric Pals, Snowy hills from Winter Tails, Santa Hat from Winston's Home for Christmas and "be merry" from Christmas Delivery

Red & White Snowflake Shaker Christmas Card by Larissa Heskett for Newton's Nook Designs | Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set
Larissa created this Gorgeous Christmas shaker card using our new Beautiful Blizzard stamp set. I love the red and white combo - reminds me of holiday peppermints!

Jess created this adorable card using our Sweetheart Tails stamp set with the sentiment fromWinston's Home for Christmas . I love that she used a "love/Valentine" set and made it work for Christmas! What a great way to get more milage out of your stamps!


Merry Christmas Card with cat and wreath by Samantha Mann for Newton's Nook Designs | Newotn's Holiday Mischief Stamp set
Samantha created this lovely watercolored Christmas card using the cute kitty in the wreath from the Newton's Holiday Mischief set. The "merry"& "Christmas" stamps are the Holiday Wishes stamp set. 

Crafty Math-Chick created this fun doggie Holiday Treat Bag using the cute pup in sweater from the Canine Christmas stamp set! So cute how she matched the sweater on the pup with the background paper!  

Snowman card by Jennifer Jackson for Newton's Nook Designs - Flaky Family Stamp Set
Here's one by me - I used the girl and guy snowmen from the Flaky Family set - stamped on Kraft colored card stock so I could color them white. I also added a bunch of snowflakes in white ink and the "Merry Christmas from our Family to yours" sentiment!  


Now it's your turn - we can't wait to see your holiday creations!
