Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here with Day 2 of the 

Newton's Nook Designs October Holiday Release!! 

Today we're showcasing the NEW "Dear Santa" Stamp Set + coordinating Dear Santa Dies and "Nutcrackers" Stamp Set + coordinating Nutcrackers Dies!!

Let's take a look at the AWESOME New Set!!

How FUN are these NEW Sets!! I LOVE them and I can't wait to share what I've created with you!! 

For my 1st Card I've used the Image from the NEW Dear Santa Stamp Set!! I Stamped it with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and then Embossed it with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I used Copic Markers to Color the Image!! 

Santa: R14, R37 & R39   N0, N2, N3, N5 & N8  Y11 & YR23  

List: E81 & E84

I Die Cut the Image out using the NEW coordinating Dear Santa Die Set!! Then I added some White Gel Pen details and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen to Santa's Belt Buckle for some Shine!! Then I Die Cut a Stitched Circle from the Circle Frames Die Set from some Distress Watercolor Paper!! I Masked off the Ground using some Purple Tape and then Inked the background using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I added some water Splatters for some texture!! I removed the Mask and reapplied it to the Sky to Ink the Ground using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! 

For my Card Panel I Die Cut a Stitched Rectangle and then I used the HO, HO, HO Sentiment from the set to Stamp a Design in the background about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the Panel in TE Sea Salt Ink!!  I LOVE the light Grey Color as it adds to the Design, but isn't taking away from the Focal Image!! Then I Added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

I Die Cut the Large Scalloped Circle from some Black Plaid Patterned Paper using the Circle Frames Die Set and then Die Cut a Circle from some TE Cherry Pop Cardstock to layer behind the Focal Circle!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Focal Circle using a Sentiment from a NEW Set being showcased later this Week!! So you're getting a SNEAK PEEK!! 😉 I Colored in the Sentiment using Copic Markers in Ombre` using R14, R37 & R39!! I Added some shading to the Ground using Copic Markers in N1 & N2 and used the Colorless Blender to blend things out!! I adhered the Santa using Foam Tape to the Focal Circle and adhered it together to the other Circles!! Then adhered them to the Card Panel again using Foam Tape!! I added some TE Gold Drip Drops to finish off the Design and I LOVE the way it turned out!!  

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the NEW Nutcracker Image and used Copic Markers to color it in!! 

Red: R14, R37 & R39  Green: YG03, YG17 & G16   

Yellow: Y11, Y15, YR23  Black: N3, N5 & N8   

White: N0, N1 & N2  Skin: E000, E11 & E13   Cheeks: RV11  

Drum Sticks: E33, E39 

I Die Cut the Image our using the NEW coordinating Nutcrackers Die Set!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen to ALL of the Yellow areas for a touch of Shine!! 

I Die Cut a Stitched Rectangle Card Panel and added some Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink behind where I wanted the Nutcracker Image to go!! Then I placed the Music Stencil over my Card Panel after I sprayed the back out it with Pixie Spray!! Then I added some Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink using an Ink Blender!! Then I added some Water Splatters and some Mowed Grass Distress Ink Splatters!! I also added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen Splatters to finish off the Design!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I adhered the Nutcracker Image using Foam Tape!! I Die Cut a Framework Die Cut Frame from some TE Cherry Pop Cardstock and adhered the Card Panel to the Frame then adhered it to a TE Sea Salt Cardbase using some Fun Foam!! I LOVE this Card and the way that the Nutcracker seems to be bringing a BRIGHT Light with him as he Plays his Holiday Music!!
