Newton's Nook Mini Seaside Release

 

IT’S SUMMERTIME!

 

We are starting out summertime crafting with this fun NEW stamp and paper pad.

 Using our NEW products I created this card.




I am totally obsessed with the Seaside Paper Pad!

I absolutely love the colors they are perfect for summertime.

To start this card I chose the grey sand dollar paper from Seaside Paper

I created the base of the card using the scalloped from

the Circle Frames Die Set along with grey card stock.

I used a basic 3 1/2-inch circle die from my stash to make the card front.

Next, I stamped and colored the image from Newton’s Sand Dollar Stamp Set

I love that the sand dollar image is so large that you can add a bunch of fun details.




For my details I use blue and gray gel pen to add dots, I also used a bitter shimmer pen.

Once I was happy with my image I die-cut this image out and

added it to the front of my card with foam tape.

To create a place for my sentiment I use the square edge banner from The Banner Duo Die Set.

To complete this card I added on a couple of clear gems.

Super excited to show you my second card!



The idea came from the yellow the yellow glitter card stock

in the Cheerful Brights Glitter Card Stock.

This color has a sand-like quality to it.

I die cut this paper out using the Frames and Tags Die Set.

I also cut out a piece of white cardstock that I will use for backgrounds.

I glued my die cut glitter card stock to a yellow card stock base.

Two of my panels I kept white, the third panel stayed yellow glitter.

Next, I stamped and colored my image from Newton’s Sand Dollar Stamp Set

I also stamped extra seashells.




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

I scattered the shells around and added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

In between the shells, I added pearls and gems to make things sparkle.

I finished this card by stamping the sentiment in the upper right panel.

 

I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Our fun new products will be available.

Enjoy Every Moment - a shaped card featuring Cherry Blossoms

HELLO EVERYBODY!

I am happy to be here to share this fun shaped card with you.

 

This card features

Cherry Blossom

Circle Frames Die

Basic Frames Die

I started this card by creating the background for the card.

I use the Cherry Blossom stamp with Raspberry colored card stock.

I stamped the image onto the paper using Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide.

I stamped in a very random pattern trying to stamp the image as close as possible.

Then, I used the smaller stamp in the stamp set to fill in any missing areas.



As I waited for this background to dry, I stamped out the

cherry blossoms onto white cardstock and colored them in.


I added a lot of detail on the cherry blossoms using a gel and a glitter pen.

Going back to the background, I use Circle Frames Die to create a shaped card.

After die-cutting out the colored cherry blossoms, I added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

To create the sentiment I use the rounded rectangle from the Basic Frames Die



After adding the sentiment to the front of the card I used Disco Ball

Stickles around the edge to create some sparkle.

A final addition is a couple of raspberry gems to the front of the card.

 

Thanks for stopping by

Stay crafty, my friends!
