I LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Images and think you will too!! Let's take a Look at the FULL Set, Sold Separately available January 20th, 2017!! 
SQUEAL!! =) I told you!! So SWEET Right!!?? I think I have a New FAVORITE Set!!??  =)
I decided to create a Couple Projects because I just COULDN'T Help it!!
 
First I've made a FUN Birthday Card using the Sweet "Darling Hearts" Die Set as a Window for my Pug to Pop out of!! =) I used some Fancy Pants Golden Days 6x6 Patterned Paper and I Die Cut it using a Large Stitched Rectangle Die from Lawn Fawn then I Die Cut a Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Frame also from Lawn Fawn from some Ranger Ink Distress Watercolor Paper!! I decided to go with a Kraft Card Base!! I Stamped and Embossed my Images and then Die Cut them out using the  Coordinating Dies!! I watercolored the Images using my Distress Inks and then added some Nuvo Morning Dew Drops over the Hearts, Bow and Party Hat for a FUN 3-D Texture!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and added some Pretty Pink Posh Sparkeling Clear Sequins in 8,6 and 4 mm Sizes!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!
Next I've made a Sweet Little Gift Card Envelope and it's going to make someone VERY HAPPY!!  I've used some Text Printed Velum and Die Cut the Lawn Fawn Stitched Heart Envelope Die!! I wanted to create more of a Card Holder, than an Envelope so I folded in the Envelope Flap and then Die Cut the Second to Smallest Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Die from Lawn Fawn out of some Distress Watercolor Paper and added it to the (back) Front of my Pocket!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and then Stamped and Embossed the Pug Image onto Distress Watercolor Paper and the Bow Tie and Die Cut then out using the Coordinating Dies and then Watercolored them using my Distress Inks!! I then added some Red Gel Pen to the Bow and added it to the Pug and my Gift Card Envelope Holder was done!!   =)

All You Need is Love & Chocolate Card by Larissa Heskett using Newton's Nook Designs Love & Chocolate Stamp Set #NewtonsNookDesigns #PaperTreyInk #RangerInk #PrettyPinkPosh #Watercolor
 I Started by Die Cutting my Frame!!

Then I Inked up a Background Piece of Distress Watercolor Paper using Tumbled Glass and Hickory Smoke Distress Inks!! I used some Masking Tape to create my Table Top and then I added some Water Splatters for some Texture!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Bottom of the Background and then colored the Hearts in with a Red Gel Pen!! I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto Distress Watercolor Paper and used the Coordinating Dies to Die Cut them out!! I used my Distress Inks to Watercolor them and then I added some Black Gel Pen for the Seeds and some Nuvo Morning Dew Drops to the Stand to make it look like a Vintage Depression Glass Dessert Stand!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!  =) I Popped everything up on some Foam Tape and then adhered it to my Card Base!! I added a Mixture of 10, 8 and 4 mm Sparkling Clear Sequins by Pretty Pink Posh and my Card was done!!
Next I've made a SWEET Little Gift Tag & Box!! PERFECT for Valentine's Day or just for a Thinking of You Gift!! I Found these Little Take out Boxes at Joann's and just HAD to have them!! =) I Stamped and Embossed the Stitched Tag Image from the Tag Sampler Stamp Set onto some Distress Watercolor Paper and then Die Cut it out using the Coordinating Tags Times Two Die Set!!

I'm SO EXCITED to share what I have made using the New Somewhere over the Rainbow Stamp Set and the Coordinating Somewhere over the Rainbow Sweet Cuts Die Set!!

I used Tumbled Glass, Mustard Seed and Chipped Sapphire for the Sky and Salty Ocean, Faded Jeans, Cracked Pistachio and Chipped Sapphire for my Ocean Waves!! I added some Water  Drops for some Texture and my Background Base was done!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Clouds, Rainbow, and Sun in White Embossing Powder over Black Versa Fine Ink on Distress Watercolor Paper and then I Stamped and Embossed Emma onto Distress Water Color Paper using Black Ink!! I Die Cut Everything out and then I Water Colored the Images using Distress Inks!! I covered everything but Emma herself with some Glitter Pen and I LOVE the Sparkle and Shine it adds to this BEAUTIFUL Scene!! =)

Paper Sweeties January Release Sneak Peek ~ Rainbow Gumball Necklaces!! =)

Pin It
 
 

HELLO!!
I'm here with Paper Sweeties for the New Paper Sweeties January Release Sneak Peeks!! I'm SO EXCITED to share what I have made using the New Somewhere over the Rainbow Stamp Set and the Coordinating Somewhere over the Rainbow Sweet Cuts Die Set!!
For my first Project I've made some Sweet Gift Tags to go along with some SUPER FUN Gumball Necklaces!! I saw these and just KNEW I had to make them for Greyson for his Valentines!! I LOVE the Idea of the Rainbow Theme and thought it went well with this Sweet Stamp Set!! I Die Cut a Stitched Tag and then tamped and Embossed my Images onto some Distress Watercolor Paper using Black Versa Fine Ink then I Embossed them using Clear Embossing Powder!! I used my Distress Inks to Watercolor the Images and then added them to my Stitched Tag!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment using several Sentiments together from the Set!! I had to cut one of them for the Layout that I wanted, but I can always use it the original way if I need!! I LOVE the look!!

                                
                          
 
For the SUPER FUN Gumball Necklaces I started with some Ribbon!! I've used SEVERAL Different kinds just to show that you can use whatever you may have on hand!! I found that the Thinner Ribbon worked the Best, but you can try whatever you may have on hand!! You'll need an Awl or something Sharp to poke your Holes into the Gumballs!! I even just tried the Sharp end of my EK Success Cutter Bee Scissors and that worked too, but beings I have a Vintaj Awl that's what I decided to use!! I noticed it was better to poke a whole on both sides rather than going straight through the Gumballs because they seemed to crack more when you did that, but you can try it and see what works best for you!! Then you'll need your Ribbon (a little less than a Yard if your going to Tie Knots inbetween each of the Gumballs) and a Large Eyed Sewing Needle so you can thread the Ribbon through and go through all of the Gumballs!! Then a Pair of Pliers was very helpful to help pull the Needle and Ribbon through the Gumballs!! I tied Knots inbetween some of the Gumballs and didn't on some too and I liked them both ways!! Whatever you decide you like best is just fine!! Once all the Gumballs were threaded through you can tie a Bow and then Gumball Necklaces are ready to give as Gifts!! You can add Bows to the Sides of the Necklaces too in different Ribbon if you want to dress them up some I just used a Needle and thread and Stitched them on!! I found some Really Sweet Valentines Day Gift Boxes at the Dollar General Store so I decided to package them up real nice using some Paper Confetti and/or some Valentines Day Sizzlets to Fill the Bottom of the Boxes and then I was able to Set the Necklaces on top for a Beautiful Display!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out and I think you will LOVE them too!!   =)
I hope you'll stop by the rest of the AMAZING DT Blogs to see what they have created!!  =)
