Newton's Nook Designs 11 Year Celebration - Day 2

Hello Everybody!

It is day two of our NEW Release!

this NEW die is going to elevate your card front making to the next level.

A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set 

Using this die set I created this card.

 

I started this card by grabbing the NEW Natural Basics Paper Pad.

I chose three different papers will be the papers for the inside of three of the cut outs.

 I knew that I wanted the top right-hand rectangle to be the

sentiment box so this rectangle would be white card stock.

After die-cutting all my papers, including white card stock using

the A2 Card Layout 2 Die Set, I assembled my pieces.

I always glue down my card fronts on top of a second white card stock base.

This keeps the card front from warping when drying and gives a nice rigid card front.

This die is so easy to put together, I started with glueing the frame for

all the boxes down first and then glued in each cutout.

Once the pieces were all assembled, I used a stamp block to keep things extra flat while the glue dried.

 Next, I got out the Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set and stamped

 out all the images that I wanted to use.

 When coloring I kept the colors very neutral to match the card stock in the background.

Since this is a birthday themed card, I also stamped birthday hats from Newtons Birthday Delight

Assembling the card is so easy!

I stamped my sentiment into the upper right corner rectangle.

I trimmed up my card front and attached it to a card base.

Then I decided on the placement of my stamped image and added them to the card front with foam tape.

I die cut out my colored birthday hats and added those to the kitties.

 I use my shimmer pen on the boxes and the birthday hats.

I also added three of my favorite white gems.

I hope you enjoyed my take on the fun and unique stamp set.

This and all the other fun latest items are available Thursday, July 18

Kitty Tags IPC 75

Welcome to a NEW Inky Paw’s Challenge!

For this challenge we have something totally fun.

I love tags! I do not make enough of them.

This tag starts out with the Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set.  

I stamped my images out and colored them in with Distress Ink, 

keeping in mind that I wanted to stay with earth tone colors. 

I also picked coordinating paper to go with the colors I used on my images.

Using Kraft paper for the base of the tag, I cut my tags out using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. Die-cutting out the patterned paper to go with the tags at the same time.

I created a little flair in the background by using one of the Fancy Edges from the Die Set and the rubber mat from my Cuttlebug to emboss into the tag.

I finished everything out with twine for the top of the tag and sentiments from the Newton Loves Boxes Stamp Set.

I hope the this give you some inspiration to create your own tag and share it with us using the challenge picture above and linking into the challenge.                         

Thanks for stopping by. I can’t wait to see how you get your Paws Inky.

Have a great week.

Hugs

Christmas Stamp Remix with Summer Colors IPC 74

We are at the halfway point of the current Inky Paws Challenge

 In case you missed out first post, we have a fun set of colors for you to use.

 I love to stretch my stamps and mix stamp sets up.

 For this inspiration, I decided to challenge myself.

I grabbed two of my favorite holiday stamp sets Snow Globe Scenes and Festive Forest, 

along with the challenge colors and put a Twist on some holiday favorites.

I got to admit, I did not think that this crazy thought was going to work out. 

I sat and stared at the stamps for a good 15-20 minutes and then the idea came to me. 

The obvious choice to use the green in the challenge colors for trees. 

It was just all a matter of deciding on how to use the blue and yellow on the houses.

 After a test of the colors and a failed attempt, I chose to go with alternating colors

 on the houses and adding in brown and tan roofs and doors as accent colors.

Finishing this card, I decided to keep the rest simple.

 I use the inner rounded corners die from 

the Frame and Flag Die Set and made a card out of that.

The sentiment comes from the NEW and TOOOO CUTE !!

Newton Love’s Boxes Stamp Set.

Now it is your turn, use the challenge colors and your 

favorite stamp set and show us how you get your PAW’S INKY.

Thanks so much for taking the time and stopping by.

 As always links to the goodies are below.

Have a great week everybody!
