                            Hello!!

                               SQUEAL!!

                                     I'm here with Day 1 of the 

               Newton's Nook Designs May Release 2018!! 

                          Today we're showcasing the NEW  

        "Blooming Botanicals" Stamp Set + "Framework" Die Set!! 

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

I LOVE the Card I've created for today!! The New "Framework" Die Set makes for a FUN way to be able to showcase your images!! I've Die Cut several (6) of the Frames from Gina K Designs Black Onyx Cardstock and stacked them together to create a Layered Frame!! Then in order to create a Floating center I Embossed the Frame Image onto some Gina K Designs White Cardstock and Cut around the edges to cut it out!! I then placed the Newton's Nook Designs Essential Alphabet Dies onto the Frame Spelling the word "THANKS"!! I used Purple Tape to hold them in place and ran it through my Die Cutting Machine!! Then I Glued the Die Cut Embossed Frame onto the Top of the Layered Frames and Die Cut one more Frame from Black Cardstock to FINISH off the Window and Glued it to the Top of the Die Cut Embossed Panel!! That way the Die Cut Frame is Strong enough to be layered over the Card Front with needing to place foam tape behind it!! (You could also easily turn this same Design into a Shaker Card if you wanted just by adding some Acetate behind the Die Cut Letters!!) 

For the Card Front I Stamped and Embossed the New "Blooming Botanicals" Stamp Set          twice!! I Created a Mask for the Side Edge of the the Design so I could layer the Images together seamlessly without a gap in the Design!! I LOVE the way it looks and it would make for a BEAUTIFUL Card Design all on its own!! ;) 

I then Colored the Center of the Images in with Copic Markers!! I coated them with some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and adhered the Frame down using some Strong Therm O Web Tape!! A Few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins finishes off my Design!!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release 2018 ~ "Wedding Frills" and "Floral Lace" Stencil!!

Pin It

                            Hello!!

                               SQUEAL!!

                                     I'm here with Day 1 of the 

               Newton's Nook Designs April Release 2018!! 

                          Today we're showcasing the NEW  

        "Wedding Frills" Stamp Set + coordinating "Wedding Frills" Die Set and the "Floral Lace" Stencil!! 

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

I started by Inking my Card base with a light coat of Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Then I placed the Bubbly Stencil over the Card base securing with some Therm O Web Purple Tape and Inking with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Remove the Stencil and you've got a lightly stenciled Card base!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto some Distress Watercolor Paper and Die Cut them out using the Coordinating Dies!! I Colored them using Copic Markers and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for the Centers of the Flowers!! I Fussy Cut the Centers of the Larger Flowers and the Smaller Flowers to make the Design 3-D!! In real life its just BEAUTIFUL and adds the PERFECT Finishing touch to this simple Card Design!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and added a few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins and added some Morning Dew NuvoDrops to the center of each of the sequins to compliment the Nuvo Drops in the center of each of the Flowers!! 

This next Card was a Labor of LOVE!! ;) 

Ever have an idea and you can't let it rest until you figure out how to create it!! Well, this was that card for me!! I wanted to have the Negative part of the Stencil be in Foil!! Yep, you heard me Black Foil!! So after MANY attempts to get the desired look, I finally NAILED it!! What do you think!!??

I started by adhering the Stencil over a piece of Cardstock with some Therm O Web Purple Tape, then I added Deco Foil Transfer Gel over the top of the Stencil using my Tonic Studios Spatula!! I sat it aside to dry and then cut some Black Deco Foil to fit my Cardbase and Foiled the Dry Gel Stenciled Cardbase in my Laminating Machine!! I removed the Foil Film and WALLAH!! I had my Black Foil Negative!! Now to adhere it to my Project!! I picked a Neutral Designed Patterned Paper and used the Stencil to adhere over the Patterned Paper with some Therm O Web Purple Tape!! Then I chose several colors of Distress Oxide Inks and used Ink Daubbers to Color in the Stenciled Design!! After I was done inking up the Design, I added some Water Splatters to create some Oxidization and then I dried it with my Heat Tool!! I then Inked over the Design with my Versa Mark Ink Pad and coated the Design with Clear Embossing Powder!! I repeated this step 2 more times!! Once it was Dry I placed the Negative Foil Piece over the Cardbase making sure to line up the design as best as I could and adhered it using some Purple Tape!! I covered it with some Deco Foil Parchment Paper and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Once it cools a bit I ran it through again and then it was time to remove the Film to see what I had!! SQUEAL!! I was SO HAPPY!! In real life this Card is AWESOME looking!! I then added a few Pretty Pink Posh Jewels and the NEW Essential Alphabet Die Cut letters that I created using the same Patterned Paper as the background and some Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide Ink!! I Die Cut 4 layers of Black Cardstock to make the letters more dimensional!! Then I created a Sentiment Banner using the Frames and Flags Die Set and White Heat Embossing the Sentiment from the  Simply Relative Stamp Set!! I adhered it with some Foam tape and my Card was done!! 

(Side Note ~ I will have step out photos of how I created this Card once I get my New Computer and re-edit the Photos!! 

THANKS for understanding!!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release 2018 ~ "Newton's Graduation" + "Essential Alphabet Dies"!!

Pin It

                            Hello!!

                                     SQUEAL!!
                                     I'm here with Day 1 of the
               Newton's Nook Designs April Release 2018!!
                          Today we're showcasing the NEW  
        "Newton’s Graduation" Stamp Set + coordinating "Newton's Graduation" Die Set and the "Essential Alphabet" Die Set!!
                  Let's take a look at AWESOME New Products!!

Here's the Card I've created for today!! I have several Friends with kids Graduating this year and that just seems strange!! How can we be getting old enough to have our kids Graduating from High School already!!?? I also realized that starting Next Year we'll be having a High School Graduate in the Family every 2 years for the next 10 years!!

SAY WHAT!! I'm going to BUSY!!  ;)

I wanted to give my Card more of an Adult Feeling so I chose to use some Time Holtz Patterned Paper and used the Frames & Flags Die Set to Create the Stitched Panel from some WPlus9 Oatmeal Cardstock!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Image and Die Cut it out using the coordinating Dies!! I used Copic Markers to color my Image (E40, E43, E47, E49, and R20 for Newton, E99, Yr21, Yr24 Yr14 for the Globe Base, YG11, YG24, YG72, W2 for the Land, BG000, BG10, BG72, W2 for the Water, and W00, W2 and W5 for the Ground under Newton)!! I added some White Gel Pen Freckles and some Black Gel Pen for the Nose!! I think these details just finish of the Design and make the features POP!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and added a scattering of some Wooden Stars!! I have had a stash of these FOREVER!! I believe they were from Maya Road and I'm not sure if they are still available, but anything would work here!! I popped the Panel up using some Therm O Web 3-D Foam and my card was done!!
