September Feature - Halloween Pile Slimline

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

Coming to you today with fun fall inspiration Using the NEW Halloween Time 6x6 Paper Pad.

As I was flipping through the paper pad, I came upon the spiders and the diagonal page.

Thought to myself “those spiders would make a fun creepy background”.

I wanted this to be a large background, so I chose the Scalloped Edge from the

Slimline Frames and Portholes Die to be my card base and front.

I sliced of a 2 1/2-inch portion of the paper, and then trimmed my paper down

to fit inside of the scalloped slimline.

I then trimmed the paper diagonally between the spiders.

I dry fit everything on the front of my card to make sure everything fit nice and clean, and

 spaced out my strips and left a bit of black showing to add interest to the background.

   I inked all my edges with Black Soot Distress Ink before placing the pieces on the card front.

My stamp of choice is Halloween Pile.

Stamping, coloring, and die cutting my image came next.

I used the small, scalloped oval from the Oval Frames Die Set as a place to put my image.

The banner die that is in the Slimline Frames and Window Die was placed in the upper right

 corner with my sentiment. To finish the card, I stamped a bunch of bats from Halloween Pile.

 I covered the bats with black glitter embossing powder and heat set.

Once the bats were dry, I added them to the front of my card.

 

Hope you enjoyed my Halloween slimline card.

All the links to the product are in the blog post above.

Stay crafty my friends!

Day 3 - Newton's Nook Designs Halloween Release

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

For the third day of our September Release

Get ready to satisfy your sweet tooth!

Candy Corn Newton + coordinating dies

Using this stamp set I came up with the following card.

I started this card by creating a shaped card base using the scalloped circle

from The Circle Frames Die and orange card stock.

Next, I used the 3-inch stitched circle from the same die set and white cardstock.

I glued the two pieces together to create my card and placed the pieces aside to dry.

Stamping, coloring and die cutting my pieces from Candy Corn Newton came next.

I figured out the layout of the front of my card and attached

 all the pieces to the front of my card with foam tape.

To complete my candy corn look I used the wavy banner from A7 Frames and Banner Die

along with yellow cardstock to add a sentiment to my card.

Day 2 - Newton's Nook Designs Halloween Release

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

For the second day of our September Release

We have TWO amazing products for you to get your paw’s inky with!

 

Ghostly Good Times + coordinating dies

and

Spooky Line Stencil

Using the Ghostly Good Times Stamp Set and dies

 I came up with this card

On a piece of white card stock, I used the Cloud Stencil and the following Distress Oxide colors.

Salvaged Patina

Peacock Feathers

Tumbled Glass

 

Using the edge of the cloud stencil, I started with the 

lightest color and blended into the darkest color.

 I kept adding color to the scene till I liked what I saw.

 Then, I used a lager blending tool to smooth out the scene.

Placed my ink blending aside to dry and worked on my stamps

Stamping out the images from Ghostly Good Times.

I colored my images using light color blues that match the background I just created.

I used Stickles to paint on shine and texture to the moon and ghost.

The background was now dry enough for me to die cut out using the Frames Squared Die Set.

I also created a card base with the same die set.

After figuring out the placement of the stamps, 

I attached them to the front of the card with foam tape.

To add some details to the background, I stamped on stars that are included in the stamp set.

I also stamped on sentiments that I heat embossed with white embossing powder.

The final touch is a banner created with the Banner Duo Die Set, and a few matching gems.

  

The next item in the release

Spooky Line Stencil

 Here is my take on this stencil

 I am out of practice using stencils, so I kept my image CAS (clean and simple)

I started off by inking my tombstones and tree black soot Distressed

I taped off the moon with making paper and inked up my stars using Salvaged Patina Distressed

I then removed that mask and masked up the stars around

 the moon and inked the moon with Scattered Straw Distressed.

Finally, I moved the stencil one last time and inked up the ghost using Lost Shadow Distressed

When the ink was dry, I cut my paper down to 3 x 6 slimline.

To add some bling, I placed the stencil back over the moon and added Starshine Stickled Glitter gel on top.

I also added tiny drops of Unicorn Stickles around the stars.

Once all the stickles were dry, I created a card base for my front and attached the two pieces together.

I used the NEW Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Banner Duo Die Set to create a banner at the bottom.

Day 1 - Newton's Nook Designs Halloween Release

 

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

For the FIRST day of our September Release

We have FIVE amazing products for you to get your paw’s inky with!

 

Halloween Apothecary,

 Labels Hot Foil Plate

 Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates,

 Spiderweb Hot Foil Plate

Halloween Time Paper Pad

 

Are you ready for some Halloween fun?

Using the Halloween Apothecary, Labels Hot Foil Plate

I created these cute shaker tags!

 

I started this project with help from The Jar Hot Foil Plate And Die.

I used white foil with black paper and white foil with black paper.

I placed the smallest stitched Oval from the Oval Frames Die Set

 in the center of the jar and then I used the Jar die cut to cut each of the jars out.

 Using the jar die I also cut out a piece of clear acetate

and an extra piece 110lb of cardstock for the back of the tag for each tag

I assembled the tag with the tag front first, acetate, a double stack of foam tape,

 custom mix of sequins for each tag, and the back of the tag with twine attached.

For the labels I used the

NEW Labels Hot Foil Plate

I started by foiling all my labels using gold prism foil and Labels Hot Foil Plate.

After die cutting out my labels using the dies that come

 with the hot foil plates, I was ready to stamp.

Halloween Apothecary made it so easy to just add the cuteness to each jar.

For the black label I went a bit extra using white and red embossing powder.

I absolutely love the way these jars came out!

 

Our next new item is a must have!

 

Spiderweb Hot Foil Plate

And

Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates,

 

Using these cute new items, I created this card!

For this card I wanted to keep thing CAS (clean and simple)

This is the perfect card to try if you NEW to hot foiling.

Using my Spiderweb Hot Foil Plate and fuchsia flower foil

 I created the spider web on a piece of cardstock.

I also used black foil and foiled out a couple of spiders.

I used curved edge rectangle from my favorite die, Frames and Flags Die Set.

I lined up the spiderweb I created to be on the inside of the stitched line and die cut out the piece.

Next, I created a card base with the large Scalloped Rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

I attached the spider web piece to the card base.

I fussy cut out the spiders and added them to the front of my card.

A banner was created by using the Banner Duo Die Set and

 NEW Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates.

Once the banner was on the front of the card, I added

 on a few white gems and black Nuvo drops to the spiders to add texture.

 

Our final NEW addition is so much fun!

This NEW paper pad goes well with the NEW and current Newton’s Nook Halloween designs.

Here is how I used mine.

Halloween Time Paper Pad

NEW Spooky Sentiments Hot Foil Plates.

Banner Duo Die
