Newton's Nook Designs December Release - Day 2

 

Hello Everybody

It is day TWO of our NEW Release!

Today we are sharing

Charming Hearts Frame Die 

Using this die I created this card.

With Valentine's card making I always feel you can be a bit extra!

To start this card off I used the Charming Hearts Frame Die

and I cut a piece out of each of these card stocks.

White glitter, Pale pink, Burgundy, and Red.

Now all I had to do was put the pieces of the puzzle together to make the card front.

I decided to use the white glitter card stock as the base.

I glued this down to a piece of white card stock to make a background.

Next, I pieced in the hearts using the other colors of cardstock that I cut out.

Once I was done, I trimmed around the Lovely Hearts Paper Pad and my card front was done.

 created a card base came next, using burgundy card stock slightly larger than

 the scalloped die from the A7 Frames and Banners Die Set.

I chose my paper from Lovely Hearts Paper Pad and used the A7 scallop die to cut this out.

I assembled my card base pieces together and then popped up the

 charming hearts panel on the front of the card with foam tape.

To add a bit of flair to the card I used metallic red card stock and the "love" die that is included with

Charming Hearts Frame Die

I cut out the “love” three times and stacked it on top of each other.

I finished this card by adding my love to the front and a bit of clear sequins to add some accents. 

Hope you enjoyed my take on these fun new products!

Newton's Nook Designs December Release - Day 1

Welcome to day ONE of our December Release

So excited to show you the three new goodies!

Today we are introducing

 Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set

Lovely Hearts Paper Pad

AND

 Valentine Word Trio Die Set

 We are starting off with the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set.

These super cute images need to have super cute little cards.

I used the Circle Frames Die Set with red cardstock to make a card base.

The NEW Lovely Hearts Paper Pad is die cut with the

 same Circle Frames Die to make the card front.

The front of this card features the cherries from Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set.

and to finish this card creating a tiny sentiment banner by hand using the “be mine”

from Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set.

For the second card, I started off with a card base created using the decorative

square from the Frames Squared Die Set and purple card stock.

I use tiny purple hearts paper from Lovely Hearts Paper Pad for the card front.

I use the larger circle from the same Frame Squared Die Set as a place for my cupcake.

The cupcake is from the NEW Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set

A simple sentiment by stamping the “love” above the cupcake.

When I was done with these two cards, I created matching envelopes and added

 some details on to those envelopes by using the Valentine Postage Sampler Stamp Set.

 For the Valentine Word Trio Die Set

I started this card using the pink hearts paper from the Lovely Hearts Paper Pad.

 I die cut this paper out using the largest rectangle from the Basic Frames Die Set.

I used a lighter pink card stock to create a card base for the cute pink card front.

I wanted something bold for the card front feature.

 Going through my paper stash I pulled out white paper,

 Flamingo Pink Paper, Pink Glitter Paper, and Holographic Paper.

I die cut the XOXO from Valentine Word Trio Die Set out of each of these papers.

I sat at my desk and mixed the letters and backgrounds up until I liked the combination of color.

Next, I glued the combinations onto a separate piece of white card stock stacked in a row.

When trimming out this stack I left a little frame of white card stock in the background.

I added foam tape to the stack and placed it onto the front of my card.

 Hope you enjoyed my take on these FUN NEW PRODUCTS!

Leftover Pieces make a Holiday Tag

 

Hello and Welcome

This project is perfect for a cold chilly day in Portland.

Created with end of the year scraps, this tag came out super cute!

 For this project I used  

Santa Paws Newton

Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate

Labels Hot Foil Plate

Bookmark 2 Die

 

Every year about this time I go through the pile of scraps in my leftover basket.

 These scraps are remnants from projects, or ideas that just did not work out.

 The goal is to use up as many of these pieces as I can to create a card or tag.

It is always fun to see how I can breathe new life into all these leftover pieces.

To see ideas for projects I did not see previously.

As I spread all the pieces across my desk, I noticed a few things that might go together.

The tag I had created earlier using the Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate

this is white foil heat set on to Navy card stock.

A leftover foiled gold foiled hot foiled label.

A Santa Newton image die cut and already colored.

All these items spurred the completion of one great tag!

After I added a bit of glitter to the Santa Newton piece and

 a sentiment on the gold label, I glued everything down.

I added gold ribbon to the top and a couple of gold bobbles, this tag was done.

All these items were destined for recycling now are a fun holiday tag!!!

Hope this encourages you to dig around your scrap bins and see what you can produce.

 Thanks for stopping by

Hope you have an awesome day

 Stay crafty my friends!
