Newton's Nook Mini Seaside Release

 

IT’S SUMMERTIME!

 

We are starting out summertime crafting with this fun NEW stamp and paper pad.

 Using our NEW products I created this card.

I am totally obsessed with the Seaside Paper Pad!

I absolutely love the colors they are perfect for summertime.

To start this card I chose the grey sand dollar paper from Seaside Paper

I created the base of the card using the scalloped from

the Circle Frames Die Set along with grey card stock.

I used a basic 3 1/2-inch circle die from my stash to make the card front.

Next, I stamped and colored the image from Newton’s Sand Dollar Stamp Set

I love that the sand dollar image is so large that you can add a bunch of fun details.

For my details I use blue and gray gel pen to add dots, I also used a bitter shimmer pen.

Once I was happy with my image I die-cut this image out and

added it to the front of my card with foam tape.

To create a place for my sentiment I use the square edge banner from The Banner Duo Die Set.

To complete this card I added on a couple of clear gems.

Super excited to show you my second card!

The idea came from the yellow the yellow glitter card stock

in the Cheerful Brights Glitter Card Stock.

This color has a sand-like quality to it.

I die cut this paper out using the Frames and Tags Die Set.

I also cut out a piece of white cardstock that I will use for backgrounds.

I glued my die cut glitter card stock to a yellow card stock base.

Two of my panels I kept white, the third panel stayed yellow glitter.

Next, I stamped and colored my image from Newton’s Sand Dollar Stamp Set

I also stamped extra seashells.

I added my image to the front of my card with foam tape.

I scattered the shells around and added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

In between the shells, I added pearls and gems to make things sparkle.

I finished this card by stamping the sentiment in the upper right panel.

 

I hope you enjoyed my cards!

Our fun new products will be available.

Enjoy Every Moment - a shaped card featuring Cherry Blossoms

HELLO EVERYBODY!

I am happy to be here to share this fun shaped card with you.

 

This card features

Cherry Blossom

Circle Frames Die

Basic Frames Die

I started this card by creating the background for the card.

I use the Cherry Blossom stamp with Raspberry colored card stock.

I stamped the image onto the paper using Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide.

I stamped in a very random pattern trying to stamp the image as close as possible.

Then, I used the smaller stamp in the stamp set to fill in any missing areas.

As I waited for this background to dry, I stamped out the

cherry blossoms onto white cardstock and colored them in.

I added a lot of detail on the cherry blossoms using a gel and a glitter pen.

Going back to the background, I use Circle Frames Die to create a shaped card.

After die-cutting out the colored cherry blossoms, I added them to the front of the card with foam tape.

To create the sentiment I use the rounded rectangle from the Basic Frames Die

After adding the sentiment to the front of the card I used Disco Ball

Stickles around the edge to create some sparkle.

A final addition is a couple of raspberry gems to the front of the card.

Spring Daffodil Tag

Happy Spring!

Today we have a super cute tag to share with you.

 This tag features

Hop Into Spring

Spring Garden Line Stencil

Bookmark II Die

 To start this tag we had to create the background.

I am using only the daffodil line on the Spring Garden Line Stencil for this tag.

My color choices are Squeezed Lemonade and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide.

I was not going for anything concrete just for some color for the background.

(ignore my dirty stencil)

When using a multiple line stencil, you always want to start at the top of your paper

and work down so that you do not ink over your work.

I inked up my stencil line by line, and blended color as I went.

After finishing all my lines, I placed my paper aside for the ink to dry a bit before dye cutting.

To cut out the tag I used Bookmark II Die

To shorten the tag I die- cut the background out

 using the flat edge of the tag and die-cut upwards.

About 4 ½ inches

The image I am using comes from Hop Into Spring

The Bunny holding a daffodil is just too cute! What a match!

I stamped, colored and die- cut out my image.

To assemble my tag I started by stamping my sentiment directly on the tag

 in the lower right portion of the tag.

I placed my image on the tag above the sentiment with foam tape.

For a final addition, I added a bow and a bit of hanging string at the top.

Newton's Nook April Release - Day 2

It is day TWO of our MINI Release!

Filigree Oval Frame Die

Using this die , I came up with this card.

To start this card I die cut the Filigree Oval Frame Die

 three times from light pink cardstock.

I glued all three pieces together and put a stamping block on top to let the glue setup.

Next, I turned my attention to my stamp of choice TULIPS.

I decided on blue tulips to stand out against this pink frame.

I stamped, colored, and die-cut out my tulips.

My frame was now all glued together, time to add some color.

My colors of choice are Picked Raspberry and Victorian Velvet Distressed Oxide.

I went around the edges of the frame with the colors until I liked what I saw.

I dried the ink with my heat gun and then added splatters on top using the same colors.

A final splatter of white paint will give the frame some texture.

While I wait for my paint to dry, I die cut the word “hello” out of gray cardstock

This die is included with the Filigree Oval Frame Die.

I die cut this word twice out of gray cardstock and glued the pieces together.

Assembling the card is easy!

I glued my Filigree Oval Frame Die to a 4x5 white card base.

Then I added the TULIPS to the center of the oval.

Finaly, I glued the “hello” across the base of the tulips.

To finish this card I added sparkle pen to the tulips and a couple of white gems for accents.

Hope you enjoy my take on these fun new products!

All these new products will be available. Friday, April 18

Happy Shopping!

Newton's Nook April Release - Day 1

Day ONE of the April Release

Check out this cool new die!  

This NEW die is so inspirational I had to go all in!

The idea for this card is SPRING!

I grabbed two of my favorite Newton’s Nook spring products.

Hop Into Spring

Pastel Basics 6 X 6 PaperPad

I chose my three colors of the paper pad and then die cut each color out using 

the NEW Lattice Die.

Once everything was peeled up onto press and seal,

I used Lattice Die one more time to die cut out my frame out of white card stock.

With everything die-cut out it is now time to assemble.

It is important to remember not to overthink the process,

this is crafting and we are supposed to have fun!

I started by gluing my white card stock frame onto a separate piece of cardstock.

Then I started individually piecing in my colored background into the lattice cutouts.

 After glueing all my pieces in, I put a stamping block on my background so that the glue can set up.

Next, I stamped colored and die-cut out my piece from Hop Into Spring

I also use the Circle Frames Die Set to die cut a background 4 my image.

I also made a simple handmade banner for my sentiment.

To assemble my card I trimmed the edges of the Lattice Die card front.

This is adhered to a card base made with light yellow card stock.

Next, I attached my scallops circle to the front of my card.

I glued my banner behind my image and attached the image to the front of the card.

I completed this card with some matching gems. 

This completes my take on the Lattice Die.

This and all of the other fun new products will be available.

Quick and Easy Spring Card.

 

Hello and Welcome!

 

As crafters we always need a last-minute card that we can quickly produce.

 This is where paper pads come in handy!

I just love paper pads!

When I get a new paper pad, I ask myself “what can this paper do?”.

In this case, the paper makes an excellent spring background.

This particular paper comes from the Spring Blooms 6 x 6 Paper Pad.

I die cut this piece of tulip paper using the Hexagon Frame Die Set

This die cut piece becomes my card front.

I also created a card base using the same die set.

Now that my shaped card is complete, I selected my image

 from Newton’s Easter Basket Stamp Set.

The image that I am using from the stamp set is on the smaller size,

so this will fit on the front of my shaped card with out looking out of sorts.

I also create a tiny banner for my sentiment.

How cute the “peep  peep” is!

I added the banner and the image to the card first.

Then I added all of my chicks on next.

I popped some of the chicks up with foam tape to give the card some dimension.

For a finishing touch, I added Stickles to the front of the egg.

Hope you enjoyed my take on this quick and easy card.

BEE-utiful Spring Day

Hello and Welcome!

 Spring is in the air, and I have a buzz-worthy card to share with you today!

This card was inspired by the bees that are starting to buzz around my garden.

AND! my hope for giant flowers this growing season!

This card features The Super fun Beekeeper Newton and the NEW Hyacinth stamp set.

I started off this card with blue card stock cut into a standard card front shape.

To add interest to the blue sky in the background I splattered 

on a bit of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Next, I used sage green card stock, and the Sea Borders Die Set to create my “grass hill.”

I cut my hill using the dye upside down, using the smooth side of the dye,

no stitching and avoiding the wave at the edge.

A brushing of Bundled Sage Distressed Oxide at the top of the hill gives the hill some depth.

Now that my background and grass are done, I stamped and colored my images.

I laid my Hyacinth on the card and measured from the bottom up.

Since the two stamp sets have different dimensions, I want to make

sure my grass hill and large flowers look as natural as possible.

Once I was happy with my measurements, I glued my Hyacinth’s down

on the front of my card and then glued the grass hill over the top.

Next step was to stamp my sentiment on above the Hyacinth’s

Then I placed my beekeeper and beehive on the front of the card.

Finally, I added all my bees buzzing around my giant Hyacinth.

 Thanks for stopping by

Stay crafty, my friends!
