Newton’s Nook Designs June Release and Giveaway – Day 4 – BBQ Roundabout and Seashell Roundabout

Hello and welcome to the final day of the Newton’s Nook Designs June release! Thanks so much for joining me throughout this week and for all your nice and kind comments!!! I cannot express how much I appreciate all your love and support!

All the new June products will be available for purchase on Friday, June 18th at Newton’s Nook Designs online store and other craft retailers!

The last day of the summer release has reserved us two amazing BBQ Roundabout Stamp and Seashell Roundabout Stamp sets! Both new sets are another great addition to the NND “Circle Card Front” line of products and as such both coordinate perfectly with already existing Circle Frames Die and Banner Trio Die sets.

Giveaway alert!! NND is giving away both new BBQ Roundabout and Seashell Roundabout stamp sets to lucky winners so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

On my stop of this hop you I’m sharing two different ways to use roundabout stamps. The first card was simply colored with copic markers and then framed inside the coordinating stitched circle die. While the second one, features the emboss resist technique. I managed to add a bunch of color by splitting the image with a matching wavy die and then inking every single element apart. As always, you can find a step by step instructions below!

Key Ingredients:

• BBQ Roundabout Stamp
• Circle Frames Die Set
