Fun Flower Card with Newton

 

So excited to share this fun card with you today

For the Newton’s Nook Blog.

 For this card I used

Newton’s Flower Garden

Cat-itude Stamp Set

Basic Frames Die Set

Speech Bubble Die

Floral Lace Stencil

Sometimes I just get in mood to play around with items in the studio.

This was the case for the background of this card.

I felt like I hadn't been using my stencils enough lately, so I decided just to mess around with a few.

I randomly picked up the Floral Lace Stencil and decided to use it.

I went to the scarp pile and randomly picked this burnt orange cardstock.

Since the card stock is so dark, I chose to use Picked Raspberry and Kitch Flamingo Distress Oxides.

Unfortunately, when I get in these creative moods I forget to take pictures.

ths picture came after the card was created.

Starting this card normally by tapping the stencil down to the card stock

 Just blending my 2 oxide choices together starting with dark at the ends and blending in.

Nothing fancy, just blend till you like it.

Once the blending was done, I placed the card top aside to dry a bit.

I love the way the floral background came together.

  Then I started sifting through my Newton stamps to find a stamp that would best fit this.

I decided on Newton's Flower Garden, this would be fun, and the style would go great.

I stamped, colored, and die cut out my images.

I also stamped out a couple of extra butterflies because I knew I was going to use those.

The stitched frame in the Basic Frames Die Set is one of my new favorites.

This die makes creating a card front and base so easy!

Wanting to use a sentiment from the Cat-itudeStamp Set I had

to come up with a creative way to place my sentiment.

I used the Speech Bubbles Die upside down.

To assemble this card, I started with the upside-down speech bubble and placed it on the card front first.

I added on my Kitty image popped up with foam tape and covered up the speech bubble dibble.

My butterflies went on next followed by a few matching gems.

 

This was such a fun and easy card!

I hope you get to try this card for yourself!

 Thanks for stopping by

  Hope you have an awesome day

 Stay crafty my friends!

Inky Paw's Challenge 195 - 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.

 Baa Stamp Set

NEW Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad 

Land Boarders Die

Speech Bubble Dies

For the second half of this challenge, I decided on classic spring colors.

I chose the yellow and pink printed flower paper from the Spring Blooms 6x6 Paper Pad.

For the long rectangles I used a 1 ¼ x 3 strips of paper.

For the squares I used 2 ¼ x 3 squares.

I laid the strips and the squares on to purple cardstock, to look like the challenge sketch.

 I left a gap between the pieces to show the cardstock underneath.

After gluing everything down, I trimmed around the pieces.

and created a card front that is 3 ½ x 6 ½.

 Next, I stamped, colored, and die cut my sheep from the Baa Stamp Set.

I also die cut out “grass” from the Land Boarders Die and green cardstock.

I placed my die cut pieces on the larger squares.

I added the sheep to the front with foam tape.

To create a place for my sentiment, I used the Speech Bubble Dies.

Once the sentiment was added to the front of my card, I finished this

 project up by creating a custom card base.

This completes my take on this challenge.

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

Inky Paw's Challenge 150 - Sketch Challenge

 Hello Inky Paws Fans!

We are at the halfway point of this current challenge.

What an awesome sketch we have for you to work with.

Here is my take on the challenge.

It is blazing HOT in Texas right now.

I came up with an idea to create a card that was like the rainbow sherbet I loved as a kid.

It all starts with the background.

I used Lemon Chiffon cardstock and the Large Scalloped Rectangle

from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To create the element in the back I used the curved edge rectangle from

the same die set and white card stock.

I love texture in my cards, using the Petite Snow Stencil and Versamark Ink

 I stenciled on my little snowy dots and then heat embossed everything with clear embossing powder.

Texture achieved!

I used the Large Banner from the same die set to create another element in the background.

This time I used some Raspberry card stock and the little do-dad stamps 

that are in the Summer Scoops Stamp Set.

I did trim this banner down a bit to fit the style of the sketch.

Speaking of the Summer Scoops Stamp Set, that is my featured stamp set.

This is A Newton’s Nook Classic and one of my favorites.

I used bright citrusy colors to stand out on the front of my card.

To finish off this card I created a sentiment created from one of the Speech Bubble Dies.

I did trim down the die to fit the size I needed and rounded off the corners.

I also added a bit of sparkle with matching Stickles

Holiday mix-up IPC 109

Welcome to the start of a 

New Inky Paws Challenge! 

We have a fun challenge for you.

That’s it!

In my humble opinion it is 

WAY to early for a Christmas card.

Next to Halloween, Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday.

Who does not dream of thanksgiving 

this time of year?

Why not turn that idea into a card.

I used NEWTON’S THANKSGIVING

And

NEWTON'S ANTICS

Two fun stamp sets 

that work great together!

 My “dream bubbles” element 

come from the

SPEECH BUBBLE DIE SET

I kept all my colors very fall like to keep with the Thanksgiving feel.

What a fun challenge!

So many choices for this challenge, 

 I cannot wait to see what 

everyone is going to do!

As always thanks for stopping by.

Have a great week

A Load of Fun IPC 99

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

All I can say is WOW!

What incredibly crafty projects everyone is coming up with!

Using the Newton Cleans Up Stamp Set,

I came up with this card.

EVERYBODY that has a cat knows that laundry becomes

extra if your cat is anywhere nearby.

The buzz of the dryer is like a dinner bell for my cats!

This is the Purrr-fect stamps set to use with rainbow theme.

The hardest part was deciding where the colors will go!

The natural choice was to have an orange kitty,

so that is my staring point.

Once my kitty was colored, I filled in my “laundry”

with colors that best match that orange kitty.

In the end I had a last color of yellow.

Why not make that my laundry basket!

The finishing touch are the rainbow hearts that I added.

These are made from the same color Distress Ink

 that I used to color in my “laundry”.

 Simply swatch out the color in ½ inch sections, let dry and die cut out 
with the heart from the Speech Bubble Die Set.

 I hope this inspires you to get out your favorite color medium and create

some rainbow using your favorite Newton’s Nook Stamps!

As always, there is link in the challenge picture.

Thanks for dropping by.

Hugs
