Newton's Nook Designs 11 Year Celebration - Day 1

Hello Everybody!

Who is ready for the July release!

These new products are going to make your cardmaking so easy!

Today we have the

Fractured Card Layout Die Set

Using this die I created this card 

I chose to pair this die with the NEW Black and White Basics Paper Pad.

I am so excited for the two new paper pads.

Both these pads are neutral colors that blend so well with our current paper pads.

To start my card, I chose three different patterns from the Black and White Basics Paper Pad.

I die cut out each of the pieces of paper that I chose and place them aside.

To create a distinct separation between all the designs, I used black cardstock with the fractured die.

I like to glue my card front down onto a separate piece of 65 lbs. card stock

 This technique gives me a nice robust card front that will not bend while the glue is setting

The fractured card layout looks complicated, but it is not.

I just started in one corner and built my card front piece by piece.

 Of course, I had the die in front of me for reference the first couple of times.

I can assure you after piecing this die together after a couple of times everything just falls into place.

And … you have all the extra pieces to use later in other card fronts.

Placing a stamp block on the card front while it is drying helps the card front to stay flat.

While this is being set up, I stamped and colored my image from the Newton Blooms Stamp Set.

I also stamped and colored extra butterflies.

To create a banner, I went to my go to favorite die set the Frames and Flags Die Set.

Once my banner is die cut out, I stamped on my sentiment.

My images are now die cut out I am ready to assemble my card.

I started by trimming my card front and attaching the card front to a card base.

Next, I decided on the placement of my Newtons Bloom image and my banner.

I attach those to my card front with foam tape.

For a finishing touch I added butterflies around the image to complete the card.

I had a blast with this new die!

I have been using this die with all my leftover pieces of scraps

 and having the best time creating card fronts.

This and all the other new products will be available on Thursday, July 18
