Hello!!
I'm here to share the Card I made for the Sketch For You to Try Challenge over on the Reverse Confetti Blog!! I have SEVERAL Graduation Cards to hand out in the Next few Weeks and I thought this one turned out AWESOME!!?? =)  I've used the So Very Spring Quick Card Panels for my Card Base and then Die Cut a FUN Edge using the
Edgers Confetti Cuts Die Set!! For the Sentiment I Die Cut the Smaller Scalloped Circle Die from the Circles ‘n Scallops Confetti Cuts Die Set then a Circle to fit inside!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment in a Double Color Story using the Circle Sentiments Stamp Set!! I LOVE doing this!! =) I wanted to add some Stars for the Embellishments so I die cut Several  from the Oh My Stars Confetti Cuts Die Set from to different Card Stock Colors and then Layered them together!! I just had to ad some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker ontop of the Stars for some SPARKLE and then I also Sprinkled some Pretty Pink Posh Mini Silver Star Confetti across the Card and I think it really just FINISHES of the Design!!  =) 


Hope you Like It!!??
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Pin It

Hello!!
Welcome to day 2 of the Newton's Nook Designs April Release!! SQUEAL!! You're going to LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Stamp Sets!! Today we're showcasing the New "Tag Sampler" Stamp Set!! Just look at these Images!! Aren't they FUN!!?? =)
Tag Sampler | 4 x 6 Handmade Tag Stamp set | Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook
I decided to make a FUN Gift Bag filled with a YUMMY Cupcake!! =) SQUEAL!! Cupcakes are my FAVORITE Treat!! I've used the Lawn Fawn Tote Bag Die and I've altered it in order to get the Cupcake inside!!
So can you see how I altered the FUN Die!!?? I just cut 2 extra Side Pieces and I combined them together cutting the Seam after they were adhered together so that it didn't stick out into the center of the Bag!! I think this makes this Tote Bag Die SO MUCH more versatile!! =) Think of ALL that you can use these Bags for now at this Larger Size!!?? I Stamped and Embossed the Tag onto some SWEET Lawn Fawn Petite Let's Polka In The Meadow Patterend Paper!! I also Stamped and Embossed it onto some White Cardstock and Die Cut the Center Scallops out!! I wanted to Stamp and Emboss my Sentiment so I masked it and used some BEAUTIFUL WoW Passion Fruit Glitter Embossing Powder for the word LOVE!! There was alittle open space left on the right hand side so I decided to add the Cupcake from "Winston's Birthday" Stamp Set!! I also Packaged my Cupcake in a FUN Plastic Cup that I just Cut Down and Folded in on its self!! I do this ALL the time for Beckett's School Lunches!! That way the Frosting on the Cupcake doesn't get ruined!! I hope this INSPIRES you when it comes to packaging your Sweet Treats!!??  =)

Newton's Nook Designs April Release~Winston's Honeybees!! =)

Hello!!
Welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs April Release!! SQUEAL!! You're going to LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Stamp Sets!! Today we're showcasing the New "Winston's Honeybees" Stamp Set!! Just look at these Images!! Aren't they FUN!!?? =)
I'm not gonna lie, the Sweet Winston Image is my FAVORITE!! =)
I'm still recovering from my Surgery, but I have a FUN Tag to share with you today!! I also have a Story to share!! We've had Honeybee's on our Farm for the last 4 Years!! =) A couple of Honeybee Keepers came to our Farm one day asking if we'd be Interested in housing some of their Honeybee Boxes and in return we would not only get the benefits of having the Honeybees around the Farm to help Pollinate the Alfalfa, Wild Flowers, Trees ect. but, we'd also get ALL of the Honey we could use!! =) So WIN WIN Right!!?? They're actually used for Pollinating Almonds in California!! Once they are done with Pollinating the Almonds in California they bring them out to our Farm here in Nebraska so they can rest!! Then before Winter hits they take them to South Dakota to Hibernate!! It has been such an AMAZING Experience!! I NEVER knew they did so much and that they traveled ALL over for the safety of the Honeybees!! Infact they should be arriving back to the Farm any day now!! =)
So as soon as I saw this Set, I just KNEW I had to use it to create a Tag to adorn a Jar of our Farm Fresh/Raised and Harvested Honey!!  =) I Stamped and Embossed the Winston Image onto a Wooden Tag using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and some WoW Ultra Fine Clear Detail Embossing Powder!! I used my MISTI Stamping Tool just to insure I got a Crisp Image beings I was Stamping onto a Wooden Tag!! Then I used my Prisma Colored Pencils and Gamsol to Color in my Image!! I backed it with another Tag cut from some Patterned Paper!! I then Created a Sweet Ribbon Bow and my Tag was finished!! I just LOVE the way it turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to give this Jar of Honey away to Beckett's VERY AMAZING Teacher in a May Day Basket!! =)

I Carrot About You with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Newton
HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!! =)
I'm here today with a project I've made for the Newton's Nook Designs Blog!! My FIRST post since my Surgery!! YIPPEE!! I've made a FUN Spring themed Card using the bunny, newly named "Lily" from the Hello Spring Stamp Set!! Then I thought she needed a Basket FULL of Carrots that I also Stamped from the Hello Spring Stamp Set!! I placed them in one of the Baskets from the Basket of Wishes Stamp Set!! I used Copic Markers to Color my Images and then added some details using a White Gel Pen and some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker for some SPARKLE!! =) I used a Lil' Inker Designs Die to created the FUN Design on my MFT Stone Grey Cardstock Base!! Then I also used a Lil' Inker Designs Stitched Rectangle Die to create the Main Panel for my Scene!! I used some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to Ink round the Edges of the Top of the Stitched Rectangle Die to create the Sky!! I wanted the Panel to POP of the Card Base so I decided to use an Avey Elle Dotted Borders Pinked Edge from some MFT Steel Grey Cardstock!! I just LOVE the way it looks against the Stitched Card Base!! Then I used an MFT Grass Border Die and Die Cut a couple different Green Coordination Cardstocks and Inked the edges with some Ground Espresso Distress Ink to add some Interest!! I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment on a MFT Banner!! Double Stamping the word Carrot with some Hero Arts Rust Ink to create a Visual Triangle with ALL of the range Images on my Card!! =) I hope you LOVE it as much as I do!!
 
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!
