Newton's Nook Designs June Release - Day 1

Hello Everybody

We have an amazing June release!

These new products will keep you buzzing with excitement

First my new favorite shaped die!

The Hexagon Frames Die will step up your shaped card game.

Also, for those hot foil plate lovers, the NEW Honey Honeycomb Hot Foil plate with dies.

Using these two latest items I created this card.

As you can see, I went GOLD for this card!

I started this card by creating a base for this card using craft card stock.

 For the card front I used gold card stock.

My favorite metallic card stock comes from Michaels, this cardstock is a little bit thicker weight

 and it does not scratch as easily when going through the die cut machine.

I used the scalloped hexagon in the new die set to create that gold card front.

 Next, using The Honeycomb Hot Foil Plate with gold foil, and white card stock 

I foiled up my next layer for the card. In typical Diane fashion, 

I was so excited about the foil that I forgot to take pictures.

Once the foil was cooled, I die cut the foil honeycombs out with the stitch hexagon die.

Next, I used black foil on white card stock and foiled a swarm of bees.

I colored those bees using traditional colors.

I also created a banner with black card stock and the banner from the A7 Frames and Die Set.

The sentiment on this banner comes from Heartfelt Honeycomb Stamp Set

which we will talk about in a minute.

I placed my banner on the front of my card with foam tape and added my bees.

To finish this card, I used Disco Ball Stickles for the wings on the bees.

Also added gold enamel dots from my stash.

I just love this new hexagon die!

The honeycomb hot foil plate is so much fun and great for so many backgrounds for on the cards.

Also included in this release is the Heartfelt Honeycomb Stamp Set.

This stamp set is so much fun.

Of course, I had to make it a shaped card using the Heart Frames Die Set.

To start this card, I started with a card base of red card stock.

I stamped out the honeycomb stamp and then used the

 scalloped die in the Heart Frames Die Set to die cut it out my stamped image.

I also die cut out the drippy honey and bees.

Since this is just black and white I decided to go wild on this card!

I also did this card in reverse

 I stamped my sentiment and die cut it out with the Banner Duo Die.

I added this banner to my card 1st with foam tape.

Next, I decided on the placements of my drippy honey and

colored in the honeycombs that will be behind my drippy honey.

I added on my drippy honey pieces just above those colored

 in honeycomb and then I added on my bees popped up with foam tape.

To make this card really stand out I used Golden Stickles on my honeycomb and drippy honey.

On the bee’s wings I used Disco Ball Stickles.

I also used Disco Ball Stickles to add a little bling in the honeycombs around the drips.

This concludes my take on the products from day one.

  This and all the other new products will be available on Friday June 21st.

 

Happy Shopping!

Happy Meowr

 

 

Hello Everyone!

Up on the Newton’s Nook block today with this fun summer card.

 

For this card I used

Newton’s Happy Meowr

lSunscape Stencil

Sea Boarders Die

Frames Squared

Banner Duo Die Set

To start this card, I pulled out the Sunscape stencil.

I decided on using Distress Oxide in Scattered Straw and Carved Pumpkin.

In my usual manner I just stenciled everything in until I liked the way it looked.

Once my sun was stenciled in. I put my paper aside to dry.

Next, I turned my attention to the images from Newton Happy Meowr

I colored my images in using Blues and turquoise to pop in front of all that sunshine.

To assemble my card, I created a base from the Frame Squared Die Set and Neenah Desert Storm card stock.

I created sand at the bottom using the Sea Borders Die

I used Neenah Desert Storm card stock with a bit of Gathered Twigs Distress Ink splashed on.

I just wanted to see just the edge of the scallops

 out on the front of the card so I did end up using

 a square die from my stash for the card front.

I die cut out everything from my card front and attached it to my base.

I placed my sunny background down 1st, and then my die cut sand on top

I placed my images on the card, next popping some of them up with foam tape.

I also created a sentiment banner using the Banner Duo Die Set.

To finish this card, I added Stickles to the sun and anywhere blue.

I hope you get to try this card for yourself!

 Thanks for stopping by

  Hope you have an awesome day

 Stay crafty my friends!

Cats and Coffee

 

Hello Everyone!

I hope the day is treating you well.

I have a fun card to share with you here on the blog!

 

For this card I used

Caffeinated cats

 Time for Coffee (sentiment)

Bright Basics Paper Pad

Frames and Flags Die Set

Basic Frames Die Set

Banner Duo Die Set

Cats and coffee my two of my favorite things!

I started this card with the Bright Basics Paper Pad

 I selected the blue card stock with white hearts.

Since this stamp is going to take up most of the card front,

 I just wanted a hint of something cute in the background.

I cut out the card stock with the largest stitched rectangle die from the Basic Frames Die Set.

I also used white card stock to cut out the largest scalloped

rectangle die from The Frames and Flags Die Set.

These two dies fit perfectly together and make the cutest card front !

I created a card base using matching cardstock and then layered my two die cut layers on top.

I then stamped out Caffeinated Cats.

I chose my favorite bold Marker colors and colored in the image.

I just love these large stamps; it is so therapeutic to color everything in.

Once my coloring was done, I fussy cut out the image leaving a slight border.

Then I placed foam tape on the back of my cut-out image and attached it to the front of my card.

I created a banner from the Banner Duo Die Set using some white card stock.

My sentiment comes from the Time For Coffee Stamp Set.

I finished this card by adding a bit of sparkle pen over the top of the image.

I hope you get to try this card for yourself!

 Thanks for stopping by

 

 Hope you have an awesome day!

 

Stay crafty my friends!

Daffodil's for Spring

 

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

Diane Morales here sharing a fun and colorful

 Thank You card for Designer’s Nook.

 

 For this card I used

Daffodils

Spring Blooms Oval

Oval Frames Die Set

Banner Duo Die Set

 

The idea for this card came from all the daffodils that

are popping up all over our neighborhood right now.

I put a twist on this card by using a black cardstock embossed background.

I started this card by creating the embossed background.

I started by preparing a piece of black cardstock with a static bag.

This is a crucial step because I want a nice clean stamp with image with

my Versamark Ink that my embossing powder can cling to.

I stamped the Spring Blooms Oval onto the black cardstock.

My image looks nice and crisp,

  I added white embossing and heat set.

 Once the embossing powder is set, I am ready to die cut.

I use the 2 ¾ stitched oval to cut out my black cardstock.

I used the scalloped oval and white cardstock to die cut out the

 rest of the card front and the card base to create my shaped card.

I glued all the components of my card together and placed the card aside to dry.

 Next, I stamped out the Daffodils and colored them in.

 

 

I die cut out the Daffodils and used the die to die cut 2 extra layers.

I glued these two layers to the back of the Daffodils to add a bit of dimension.

To add a pop of color I created a sentiment banner with

the Banner Duo Die Set and pink cardstock.

I assembled the card adding the Daffodils to the front of the card and the banner on top.

To finish the card, I added a couple of matching enamel dots.

 

 Thanks for stopping by

 Hope you have an awesome day

Stay crafty my friends!

Welcome Newton’s Nook fans!

I have a fun card to share with you using some of our NEW holiday goodies!

For this card I used 

Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Die

Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plates

Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate

  

I am a huge fan of putting a twist on traditional colors for Christmas.

 To make this bold card I started with the Holiday Foliage Hot Foil Plate.

I used the hot foil plate with white foil and heat set the image onto a 4 x 5 piece of black cardstock.

Next, I created the trees using the Christmas Trees Hot Foil Plates & Die.

 I created several colors of the trees using the white foil again against colored cardstock.

A simple die cut of a vellum scallop circle from the circle frames die will be the base for my tree.

Assembly was easy.

I attached the tree to my velum circle first using foam tape, and then attached the circle to my card.

I Adhered glue to the back of my tree only. So that I could still see through my velum circle.

Since I chose the red tree for this project, I went with a green banner, foiled with white foil and the

Holiday Greetings Hot Foil Plates.

Using the Banner Duo Die gave me a nice straight banner.
