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

Newton's Nook Designs Birthday Release - Day 3

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!

Welcome to day one of our July Release in celebration of our 10-year Birthday!!

🎉(cue the confetti)🎉

For our third day of our celebration, we have 3 AMAZING NEW products

for you to get your Paw’s Inky with!

Using the NEW product, I created the following cards

I had the best time with these foil plates!

The first thing I did was find the glitteriest foil I could get my hands on... Speckled Prism.

Using the color story in the Birthday Meows Paper Pad,

I came up with pink, yellow and purple as my color choices.

Using the Confetti Hot Foil Plate, I added Speckled Prism foil to each cardstock.

The results were amazing! and I knew how to finish this card.

I love color block and using the A7 Frames and Banner Die Set 

made the pieces for this card are super easy!

Once everything was glued into place on a card base, I finished all the other details.

Using the NEW Birthday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and the Banner Duo Die Set,

 I had a sentiment for the front of my card in no time.

To finish this card, I added a few matching gems I had in my stash!

For the second card we went with color blocking again.

This time using the color story from the Birthday Woofs Paper Pad.

I glued a 2-inch strip of colored paper onto a white cardstock.

Next, using the Paw Print Foil Die, I added on the gold foil paw prints.

My go die set will always be the Frames and Flags Die Set.

Using this die set, die cut a card base and card front with the paw prints on it.

Finishing this card with the NEW Birthday Barks Stamp Set was a MUST!

 To finish this card, I added a splash of neutral white by creating

 a banner made with the Banner Trio Die and a sentiment from Birthday Barks .

I also added a dash sparkle pen to my images.

This foil set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Inky Paw's Challenge 176 - Color Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

 Using the challenge colors, I came up with this card.

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Newton’s 4th of July

Frames and Flags Die Set

Circle Frames Die Set

Coffee House Stories 6x6 Paper Pad

Love and Meow’s 6x6 Paper Pad

To start this card, I rummaged thru my Newton Paper Packs and went looking for paper

that would match the challenge colors. For the background I found a light blue striped.

I also found a red polka dot paper that I will also be using on the card.

The light blue stripes I die cut out using the Frames and Flags Die Set.

This would start my card front.

The red polka dots paper I die cut out with the 3 ¼ circle from the Circle Frames Die.

Next, I stamped and colored my image from Newton’s 4th of July.

When coloring the rocket, I matched the colors to the striped paper and

 used a much of the challenge colors that I could.

I went into my die stash and found a die circle that was slightly smaller that the polka dot paper one.

After I die cut this out using white cardstock, I stamped on some of the 

fireworks from the stamp set and embossed them with Holographic embossing powder.

To assemble the card, I created a card base with dark blue card stock.

I glued my stripped paper on top of that. To make my card front.

 I glued my die cut circles together and add newton on top with foam tape.

After I added this to the front of my card, I stamped on a sentiment 

and added on a couple of the stars from the stamp set.

I hope this inspires you to try out this fun challenge.

Inky Paw's Challenge 165 - Sketch Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

Here is my take on the challenge!

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Love Quarry Stamp Set

Circle Frames Die

Tumbling Hearts Stencil

Frames and Flags Die Set

Kraft cardstock is one of my favorites to use on cards.

Now that there is Distress Oxide Ink, it is so easy to add color on top of that cardstock.

Barn Door Distress Oxide is my color of choice.

The Tumbling Hearts Stencil is going to make this card so cute!

I inked up my background and placed it aside to dry and turned my attention to the rest of the card.

I die cut my center from the Circle Frames Dies.

For the white circle, I used the Tumbling Hearts Stencil and my embossing pad

 for the die cut machine to emboss the hearts on the paper.

Next, I stamped and colored images from the Love Quarry Stamp Set.

With all my components ready to go, I stared to assemble the card.

First, I burnished off a bit of the embossed circle to add my sentiment.

This circle is layered onto the black circle and a banner created from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To finish my card, I cut down my background of hearts and glued it to a card base.

I added my center circle and safety cones, and my card is done.

That completes my take on this challenge.

Now it is your turn!

Show us your take on this sketch.

Inky Paw's Challenge 164 - Color Challenge

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

Welcome back and a VERY Happy New Year!

Check out this challenge! 

For this challenge I used the following Newton’s Nook Design’s product.

Newton Celebrates

Newton’s New Year

Frames and Flags Die Set

I love a color challenge, since this is the first challenge of the New Year the stamp choice was obvious.

The question was “how to use the colors”

I decided since the red was the bolder of the colors. This would become the card base.

I used the Large Scalloped Rectangle in the Frames and Flags Die Set to create the card base.

A simple die cut square of Kraft card stock on top of the red completed the card base.

I dug into my paper stash to find some cream card stock and die cut a piece out

 using the Curved Edge Rectangle that is included the Frames and Flags Die Set.

This would be the start of my card front.

I wanted a little something behind the image I was going to use.

 the “celebrate” from Newton Celebrates was used to stamp the on the diagonal in the corner.

To finish my card, I stamped and colored my image.

Once that was attached to the front of the card, I stamped on a sentiment.

The sentiment is included in the Newton’s New Year Stamp Set.

To finish my card, I added some bling above my popped bottle.

I also colored in my champagne with a silver Sharpie.

That completes my take on this challenge.

 Now it is your turn!

Show us your take on these fun challenge colors!
