Franken-Newton Bookmark

Happy September!

 This year flew by so fast!

It is time for my favorite time of year.

Halloweenthanksmas!

To start things off I have a cute bookmark/tag

  

For this project I used  

Franken-Newton Stamp Set

Spiderweb Oval

Frames and Flags Die Set

BookmarkDie Set

 To start off this project I die cut my bookmark out of basic white card stock 

using the Bookmark Die Set.

To make sure that the tag was nice and sturdy, I used 120 LB card stock.

 I love it when I get an idea on how to repurpose a stamp set.

The spider webs on the Spiderweb Oval Stamp Set are such a classic shape.

Using an old school technique grabbed A roll of blue tape.

 I masked off a section of spider web that I wanted to use with the blue tape.

Stamp everything with your chosen ink and then remove the blue tape.

You can then stamp the image that you chose onto your project.

I repeated this technique three more times to create spider webs on the top and bottom of my tag.

Next, I stamped out the images that I wanted to use from Franken-Newton Stamp Set

Coloring in my images using my favorite colors of Copic markers

I also stamped out three of the hearts and colored those in as well.

Assembling the rest of this project was easy.

I was going to use the flag in the Bookmark Die Set, but decided it

 was too large and covered up too much of the spider webs on the bottom.

I chose the slightly smaller flag from Frames and Flags Die Set instead.

This fit my sentiment perfectly and did not assume too much room at the bottom.

I stamped them on my sentiment on the flag and used white embossing powder to finish.

This is attached to the project at the bottom with foam tape.

Next, I attached the Franken-Newton images with foam tape.

Finally, I added my 3 hearts to the top of the bookmark with foam tape.

This was such a fun and quick project, and I am so happy I got to share it with you. 

Thanks for stopping by

  Hope you have an awesome day

 Stay crafty my friends!

Inky Paw's Challenge 189 - Sketch Challenge

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

The FIRST challenge of 2023!!!

Here is my take on the challenge.

 

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

Franken-Newton

Heart Frames Die Set

Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad

AND

A bit of paper from

Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad

 To start this card, I stared with an A7 card base made with red cardstock.

I cut down a piece of the heart paper from the Love and Meows 6x6 Paper Pad.

This became my card front.

A 1 ¾ leftover piece of the blue striped cardstock from

 Meowy Christmas 6x6 Paper Pad that I glued down on top of the hearts.

 Next comes a one-inch strip of the multi color hearts paper, that I cut into a banner edge.

Finally, a ¾ inch of red striped paper that I also cut a banner edge and glued on with foam tape.

Now that I have all the elements, on to the heart.

I used the scalloped heart from Heart Frames Die Set.

I used white cardstock to help my image stand out among all the color in the background.

My stamp set of choice is Franken-Newton.

Yes! This is a Halloween set, but it is just TOO CUTE to use once a year.

I stamped, colored, and die cut my image from the stamp set and added that to the heart.

I also stamped on a sentiment and added a couple of extra hearts.

This completes my take on this challenge.

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

Inky Paw's Challenge 184 - Halloween Theme

 

Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We have a NEW challenge coming your way.

 

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

Franken-Newton

Count Newton

A7 Frames Frames and Banners

Porch Swings Friends 

Using the Halloween Theme, I created this card.

So excited for this card!

I started this card with a card base made with the A7 Frames Scalloped Square.

The card base is die cut front white cardstock.

I die cut the card front out of yellow sunflower cardstock.

By using colored card stock, it makes ink blending a lot easier and faster.

Speaking of ink blending, I started with blending

 Distress Ink from the center of the card out to the edge of the card.

I was not going for a particular look; I just blended the ink till I like what a saw.

To create a focal spot for my card I took masking paper and cut a wonky shape from it.

I placed the wonky shape in the center and ink blended a darker edge on my card.

 Next, I added speckles of white and black with Distress Watercolor Pencil.

After I pulled up the wonky shape, I stamped the tombstones

 from Count Newton on the background with gray ink.

This will help ground the images that I am going to have on my card.

Next, I stamped and colored my images from Franken-Newton and

Count Newton.

I die cut those images out and added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

I also stamped and die cut out some bats and added to the card.

I love to mix up my stamp sets up.

For my sentiment, I chose the sentiment from Porch Swing Friends.

I thought that this is perfect and so cute for this card.

 

I Hope this gives you a bit of inspiration for your next project.

using some of their favorite Newton's Nook Designs products! 

Check out what I created today and don't forget to check the NND Blog each day this week for more fun inspiration!

Hello and welcome!

My name is Diane Morales, and I will be you guest designer

for today instalment of the Newtons Nook Blog.

So excited to be here with you and so you my take on Products by Newton’s Nook Designs.

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

Franken - Newton

Spiderweb Ovals

Oval Frames Die Set

Banner Trio Die Set

For those of you who do not know me, I love a shaped card!

For my card today I chose to use the Oval Frames Die Set as a base for my card.

On a separate piece of cardstock, I stamped the Spiderweb Ovals.

I then used the Oval Frames Die to cut out what will be my card front featuring the Spiderweb Ovals.

On a quest to try something different, I got out my craft knife and cut the center  

and around the spiderwebs of the Spiderweb Oval out.

Next, I stamped and colored the images that I wanted to use from the Franken- Newton Stamp Set.

Now it is time to assemble.

To my shaped card base I glued on a piece of lilac cardstock that I die cut from the Oval Frames Die Set.

Over that lilac cardstock goes the Spiderweb Ovals.

Next come my images from Franken-Newton that I popped up with foam tape.

To finish this card, I created a banner from the lilac card stock and one of the Banners from the Banner Trio Die.

Once the sentiment was stamped, I carefully folded the banner in to the size that I wanted.

After looking at the finished card, I realized that there was too much white.

Villainous Potion Distress ink to the rescue.

Using the ink pad, water, and a brush I carefully painted a purple ring

 around the edge of the spiderwebs and blended it out.

I also added the stitched heart above the couple because I thought it was cute!

That completes my card!

Thank so much for stopping by.
