Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here for the 9th Annual Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop with Newton's Nook Designs!! I just LOVE this time of year and ALL of the Amazing Projects that can be made for those Holiday Gifts you're giving!! I've created a STUNNING Christmas Card and coordinating Gift Tag for today!! SWOON!! Let's get started!! 
I'm using one of my FAVORITE Winter Sets from 
Newton's Nook Designs called the Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set along with the coordinating Poinsettia Die Set for my Focal Images and paired it with a couple other Sets to finish off the Designs!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing several of the Poinsettia Blooms Images!! I LOVE dimension, so I Layered several of the Images together then I added some of the individual Holly Leaves and Pine Sprigs to finish off the Design!! 

I Colored with Copic Markers!! Coral: R00, R22 & R32  Yellow: Y11 & YR23   Green: YG03  Dark Green: YG61, YG67 & G18   Turquoise: BG72, BG75 & BG79
I Die Cut ALL of the Images out using the coordinating Poinsettia Die Set!! I added some White Pen Highlight Details and some Glossy Accents to the Center of the Poinsettia Centers and Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Drops to the Berries!! 

For the Card Panel I Inked with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and then added some Water Splatters for some Texture!! I Stamped and Embossed the "Wishing You Joy" Sentiment and then adhered the Layered Poinsettia Blooms to the Card Panel using Foam Tape!! A few Trinity Stamps Fairy Rocks Rhinestones frames the Sentiment and adds some Sparkle!! I wanted even more Sparkle so I added some Tonic Studios Midas Touch Glitter Pen to ALL of the Poinsettia Blooms!! The Gold Glitter adds such a STUNNING finish when the Card is moved in the Light!! Then I adhered the Card Panel to a Frames and Flags Scalloped Die Cut from some Patterned Paper!! I adhered the entire Panel onto an A2 White Cardstock Cardbase and my Card is ready to Send to someone SPECIAL!!  

For the Coordinating Tags I've used the Same Poinsettia Blooms Images that I layered together just like on my Card only this time I've adhered it to a Fancy Edges Tag Die Cut!! I Die Cut one from White Cardstock that I inked with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment "Tis' the Season" from the   Stamp Set!! I added some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rocks Rhinestones for some Sparkle and then Die Cut another Fancy Edges Tag Die from some Patterned Paper!! 

I wanted to add a To: and From: Tag, so I Stamped and Embossed the Image from the Jolly Tags Stamp Set and then Die Cut it out using the coordinating Tags Times Two Die Set!! Again I Die Cut another Tag from the same Patterned Paper to add another layer and I just LOVE the way it turned out!! I finished it off by adding it to my Package with some Lawn Fawn Twine that I Curled and then topped it off with a Bow using the same Twine!! 

BONUS PROJECT: 

 I LOVE the Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set and ALL of the different ways that you can use it!! It's such a Versatile Set to add to your Stash, whether you're using it for Holiday Cards, Winter Birthday Cards or Winter Anniversary Cards but it can also be used for Gift Tags, Missing You Cards, Thinking of You Cards, or Sympathy Cards just by changing out the Sentiment!! Here's a Winter Birthday Card I've created using several of the same Products!! Just a different Layout Design and Color Combo!!  

 I started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the Poinsettia Blooms Stamp Set!! I colored all those lovely blooms from the set using Copic Markers in shades or Red: R00, R32, & R39  Green: YG23 & YG25    YG61, YG63 & YG67 and Turquoise: BG72, BG75 & BG79 and Die Cut them out with the coordinating Poinsettia Blooms Die Set, layering them to create a Gorgeous Layered cluster of flowers in the Left Hand corner of my card!! I also added in some Berries and Boughs from the Winter Birds Stamp Set and cut them out with the Winter Birds Die Set to add more elements to the floral clusters!! For my Card Base I added some Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks and then I mixed some Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint together and added some Splatters to add some Dimension!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the "Make a Wish" sentiment from the Birthday Essentials Stamp Set to turn this card into a Winter Birthday Card!! I wanted the Sentiment to SPARKLE so I used some WoW Neutral Shimmer Glitter Embossing Powder!! Its hard to see in the Photos, but in real life that little addition of adds a TON of Beauty to this Card!! If you are still creating Christmas cards, this would make a stunning Holiday Card too. Just add in a Holiday sentiment instead!! I framed the lovely floral panel using the scallop edged frame from our Frames & Flags Die Set!! To finish off the Design and add even MORE SPARKLE, I added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Drops (BONUS it matches the Glitter in the WoW Embossing Powder) to ALL of the Berries and then I added some Sunrise Glitter Drops to the Poinsettia Flower Centers!! A few Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Star Sequins scattered around Finishes off the Design!! 

On the INSIDE of the Card, I added some more Distress Ink and Distress Paint Splatters along with a second sentiment from the Birthday Essentials Stamp Set also Embossed with the WoW Neutral Shimmer Glitter Embossing Powder!! A few more Iridescent Star Sequins finishes it off!!

Happy Bird-Day Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

Pin It


HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!! 
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Blog today sharing this Bright and Cheerful Happy Bird-day Card!!

I used the Winter Birds Stamp Set to create a colorful birthday card! I started out by Stamping and Embossing  the image of the Chickadee from the Winter Birds Stamp Set but instead of coloring it in traditional colors I changed it up by making the SWEET Chickadee Bird shades of Pink to coordinate with the Well Hello Pattered Paper Pad I used by My Mind's Eye!! As soon as I saw this Pad I just KNEW I had to have it and it coordinates SO WELL with SEVERAL of the AMAZING NND Stamp Sets!! Think about that next time your looking at NEW Pads to buy!! 

I added some Cracked Pistachio Distress Paint Splatters to the Pattered Paper Card Base for some added texture and sat it aside to dry!! Then I die cut the SWEET Chickadee Bird using the coordinating Winter Birds Die Set!! To make this even MORE FUN I colored a Party Hat from the Newton Celebrates Stamp Set and cut it out with the Newton Celebrates Die Set to add it onto the Chickadee Birds head!! I added the Bright and Cheerful Chickadee Bird to my card, adding some Wild Honey Distress Ink behind him on a circle die cur!! For my card base I used the bold bird themed patterned paper!! Then I added the "celebrate" sentiment from our Birthday Essentials Stamp Set, Stamping and Embossing it onto a banner from our Frames & Flags Die Set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Neutral Shimmer Glitter Embossing Powder!! I added s sprinkling of Blue Iridescent Sequins from my stash and I think it finishes it off PERFECTLY!! I LOVE the way it turned out and WHO wouldn't want to receive a Bird-Day Card like this!!?? 
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Newton's Nook Designs March Release 2018 ~ Day 4 ~ Birthday Essentials!! =)

Pin It

                            Hello!!

                                     SQUEAL!!
                                     I'm here with Day 4, the final day of the
               Newton's Nook Designs March Release 2018!!
                          Today we're showcasing the NEW  
                         "Birthday Essentials" Stamp Set!!
                  Let's take a look at this AWESOME New Set!!  

For my first card today, I just wanted to put the focus on just the AMAZING Sentiments in this Set!! Two of my FAVORITE things are Rainbow Colors and Sparkle!! ;) So of course I HAD to combine them for my Card!! I've used the NND Frames & Flags Die Set for the base of my Card design and then Die Cut some of the Rainbow Lawn Fawn Patterned Paper!! I Die Cut the Center Panel and added a light layer of some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink!! I'm ADDICTED to the WoW Glitter Embossing Powders so I've used several to Emboss the BEAUTIFUL "Celebrate" Sentiment to create a Rainbow!! I then Stamped the "It's You Day" Sentiment in between each of the Celebrate Sentiment using some MFT Grout Grey Ink!! I adhered it all onto a MFT Grey Grout Cardstock A2 Sized Card Base!!

For my last Card today I wanted to showcase the AWESOME New "Holding Happiness" Stamp Set along with the AMAZING Sentiment form the "Birthday Essentials" Stamp Set!! I think its FUN to highlight just certain parts of an Image!! So I Stamped and Embossed the Images onto some Distress Watercolor Paper and then I watercolored the Images using Distress Inks in Spun Sugar and Hickory Smoke!! I added some Spun Sugar Spatters and some ColoriQue by Lisa Marie Jimenez splatters in Black Diamond Ink!! For the Top of my Card I Die Cut the NND Frames & Flags Die Set from Black Cardstock to create my Scalloped Edge and then I Die Cut the Stitched Banner Die from some MFT Grey Grout Cardstock!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto it and adhered it to the Right Side of the card!! A Few Pretty Pink Posh Sparkling Clear Sequins finish of the Design!!
