Newton’s Nook Designs Birthday Party!

Welcome Newton Nook Fans

It is day one of our sneak peeks.

Check out these fun NEW dies. 

Using the new die sets I made this card.

 

Staring this card off with the Oval Frames Die Set for the base.

The paper I chose is from Halloween Party Paper Pad; I just love plaid colors!

Once the card base was completed, I set the set the card base aside to dry.

Next, I started assembling my cake. I chose the color scheme for the cake

by matching the plaid background for the card.

I cut out all my pieces using the Cake Builder Die Set.

Following the instructions I assembled my cake.

The cake was so fun and was easy to assemble.

I love to take my time and add each piece, which is very relaxing for me.

I thought the black Pedestal for the cake was a bold choice,

But I love the way that it goes so well with the plaid background.

Next step was to add some details.

I used my POSCA markers and added dots to the cake and the pedestal.

With the cake now complete, I add the piece to the front of the card.

To finish this card, I used the NEW Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and

one of the banners From the Banner Trio Die Set.

For the last step of this card I created candles for the top of the cake with the

Cake Builder Die Set. I used yellow Stickles to make my candles glisten.

I hope that you are inspired by this take on this fun new die set.

Newton’s Nook Designs 13th Birthday Celebration!

Welcome Newton Nook Fans

We are celebrating a VERY special birthday today.

Newton’s Nook Designs is turning 13!!!!

In honor of this very special occasion we have for you a NEW stamp scet.

Using Hula Hoop Newton I created this card.

This stamp set just inspires joy!

For the card I definitely wanted to use all the fun colors.

Starting out with some paper from Birthday Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

This striped paper creates a fun and colorful background.

Next, I created a frame using the Frames and Tags Die Set and white card stock.

I added silver watercolor Splats to the frame and placed on the front of my card.

I use matching polka dotted paper from Birthday Meows 6x6 Paper Pad for the smaller windows.

For the larger window on the frame, I created a park scene using

Broken China Distress Ink for the sky, and Twisted Citron Distress Ink for the grass.

I inked up the panel using the ¾ to ¼ ratio.

After the panel was dry, I added it into the larger window.

Next, I stamped and colored out the images from Hula Hoop Newton

I cut out my image using the coordinating die for the stamp set.

This is added to the front of the card with foam tape.

I Created a sentiment by using the Smallest rectangle from the Basic Frames Die Set.

This die fits the smaller sentiments in Hula Hoop Newton stamp set perfectly.

The final touch for this card is tucking my balloons behind my sentiment.

I also add Stardust Stickles to the hula hoop and ballons to add some bling!

I hope that you enjoyed my take on this fun new stamp set.

A very HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Newton’s Nook

Thank you so much for all the years of fun and inspiring stamps!

with many more years to come!

All Booked UP

Welcome Everybody!

We are taking PAWS for an enjoyable book card today. 

This card features

All Booked Up

Black and White Basics 6x6 Paper Pad

Fractured Card Layout Die

Frames and Flags Die Set

 

In the Pacific Northwest we love our pets and books!

Nothing better than to curl up with a delightful book and your furry friend on a rainy afternoon.

The All Booked Up stamp set is Purrr-fect for this vibe.

To start this card I created a background using the Fractured Card Layout Die

Black, white, and pop of color is one of my favorite combos.

For this combo I chose baby blue card stock to be my pop of color.

To mix things up, I used the Square texture paper from Black and White Basics 6x6 Paper Pad

After cutting out each individual color using the Fractured Card Layout  Die.

I played around with the pieces until I got the combo that I liked, then

after assembling my background I set it aside to dry.

Next, they stamped out my images from All Booked Up

I colored my images using complementary colors to the background.

Once I was satisfied with the colors, I cut out my image using the coordinating dies.

To create a place for my sentiment I used a banner from Frames and Flags Die Set

To assemble my card I attached the fractured background to a white card base.

I positioned my banner at the bottom of my card first and then

 attached my image above it with foam tape.

To add a bit of extra interest, I use the paw prints from the stamp set and a few enamel dots.

ATC Cards with Toner Foil Backrounds

Hello Cardmaking Fans!

Here today on the blog to share these fun ATC cards.

What is an ATC

ATC are Artist trading cards.

These cards have a strict dimension of 2 1/2 inches wide by 3 1/2 inches long.

There are no rules for making these cards, and….

you can use whatever Medium that you choose.

These cards are for trade only with other artists.

Designing the ATC

To start my ATC's I decided on foil for the background.

I use the Retro Mix Toner Card Front along with Bronze Foil.

I then took my spent piece of foil and the NEW Solid Black Toner Card Front

and sent these items through my machine.

This Solid Black Toner Card Front is a game changer!

You can use up your spent foil for a second card front.

Once my foil pieces were cooled, I cut them down to the appropriate ATC card size.

For my images I used:

Puppy’s Mix Tape and Newton's Mix Tape

These images are the perfect size to fit on the front of an ATC.

After stamping and coloring my images, I then die cutting the images out using the coordinating dies,

I added my images to the front of my ATC card.

 

I also used some of the music note stamps on the front to add interest.

To Finish my ATC cards I added matching gems to add a bit of sparkle. 

I hope this encourages you to try ATC Cards for yourself. 

Stay Crafty Everyone!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Spring Time Easter Card

 

Hello Cardmaking Fans!

I am happy to be here to share this fun Easter Card!

For the Card Base

To start, I created a card base and front using the

Basic Frames Die Set. I chose pink card stock to keep with the Spring theme.

To keep the background from looking boring, I used the Tumbling Hearts Stencil

along with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink.

Designing the Card Front

Next, I turned my attention to the front of the card.

 For this card, I used Newton’s Easter Basket. I kept the color combo really

bright and festive to make the image pop.

After I completed the coloring, I cut out the image with coordinating dies.

To complete the front, I used the banner die from the Basic Frames Die Set.

I flipped the banner upside down and added it to the front of the card.

I added the image from Newton’s Easter Basket to the bottom of the banner.

Finally, I stamped on my sentiment. For a finishing touch, I added on extra baby chicks and hearts.

Hope you enjoyed my take on Spring cardmaking.

Stay Crafty Everyone!

Thanks so much for stopping by.

Party On! Stamp Set

For our final day we are highlighting!

 

Using this fun stamp set I created this card!

I stared this card using the Retro Vibes Stencil Set

This is a two-part stencil.

For the first part, I Used Black Soot Distress Oxide on top of teal colored card stock.

Once that was completely dried, I used the top part of the stencil carefully lined  

the stencil up and taped the stencil down on all sides.

Using a spatula, I carefully smeared Venus Stickles over the top of the stenciled part.

I pulled the stencil up and had to let this dry for 24 hours for the glitter glue to set up.

To create the elements for the card, I stamped the sentiment

 from Party On! Stamp Set onto yellow cardstock.

 Using some of the elements from the stamp set, I created a frame around the sentiment.

I used a paper trimmer to cut this element out.

I also used other stamps in the stamp set to create the extras element for the card.

To create the card base for the card I used the Frameworks Die Set.

To add interest I used paper from Retro Vibes Stencil Set

To assemble my card, I cut my flashy card front down to fit inside my card base.

Once the card front was glued on, I added on my elements one by one with foam tape.

To finish this card I added matching Stickles to the elements.

Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set

 

Day three of our Retro Release

Today we are highlighting

Using this stamp set I created this card.

 

For this card I used one of the other fun new products we have coming up Music Notes Stencil

I simply used the stencil to create music notes onto teal cardstock. Ink blending around the edges.

I glued my card front to a card base and then added bits of white splatter.

Next, I stamped, colored, and die cut out my image from Puppy's Mix Tape Stamp Set  

using the coordinating dies to cut out the image.

I added my image to the front of the card with foam tape.

I also added on some of the music notes that are included in the stamp set.

The last touch is matching gems to add some bling to the card.
