Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

I'm here as part of the AMAZING Inspiration Week where 2 of my FAVORITE Companies have Teamed up to share some AMAZING Inspiration and have some chances to WIN!! 

Newton's Nook Designs has teamed up with Therm O Web and you're going to be INSPIRED!!

I've create a FUN Interactive Project today and I CAN'T WAIT to share!!

 For my Card today I wanted to create a Scene for the Caroling Newton Image!! So I started by Embossing the Brick Embossing Folder by Taylored Expressions and then inked it lightly using some Aged Mahogany, Pumice Stone, Scattered Straw and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks!! 

I Die Cut 2 of the Tall Trees from the New Forest Scene Builder Dies from some Therm O Web Deco Foil Toner Sheets that I foiled with Emerald Watercolor Deco Foil!! Inked the Tree Stumps using Gathered Twigs Distress Inks!! Then I sprayed them with some of my FAVORITE Therm O Web Iridescent Glitter Dust Spray!! It makes it appear to be lite up by Lights and in real life is SO PRETTY!! I added some Star Sequins for the Top of the Trees!! 

 The Window is a Die Cut from Taylored Expressions and I Die Cut it out from some Woodgrain Patterned Paper!! I inked it with Gathered Twigs and Dark Espresso Distress Inks, just to add some dimension!! 

I backed the window with the Designer Toner Sheets in Starry Night that I foiled using Gina K Designs Gold Sequins Fancy Foil to make it look like Twinkling Lights!! I wanted a Christmas Tree on the inside of the Window too so I Cut 2 of the Trees from the Designer Toner Sheets in Rustic Winter from Therm O Web as I thought they resembled the Trees I had on the outside and I Foiled them with Emerald Watercolor Deco Foil and adhered them together to make the tree appear Larger!! The Window frame hide the seam!! I also adhered the Gold Star Sequin for the top of the Tree!! 
I colored my Images with Copic Markers and added some Texture and dimension with a White and Black Gel Pen and some Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen and Nuvo Drops in Blizzard Glitter to the Hats and the small Images on the Music Sheets!! I also added some Expanding Snow to the Trees, the Window and the Ground to make it appear they are standing in some Freshly Fallen Snow!! 

 For the inside of my Card I used the Music Stencil and the Sentiment "Wishing you the Happiest of Holidays" from our new Ornamental Wishes Stamp Set to finish off the design!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment off to the far side so it would show through the Window, but wouldn't show behind the Foiled Christmas Tree!! 

SQUEAL!! I LOVE how FUN this turned out and will be sending it to someone REALLY SPECIAL for the Holidays!! I hope you feel INSPIRED and will join us ALL WEEK for even MORE Inspiration and chances to WIN!!

Hello!!

          SQUEAL!!

         I'm here with Day 2 of the 

             Newton's Nook Designs October Release 2018!! 

.                            Today we're showcasing the NEW  

"The Nutcracker Squeak" Stamp Set and "Caroling Newton" Stamp Set + coordinating Dies!!!!

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

 For my first Card I KNEW I wanted to create a Waterfall Card Design!! So I decided to build a Stage for the Background of my Card and then my Waterfall would be a Production of the Nutcracker Ballet of sorts!! I used some Lawn Fawn Dies and Patterned Paper to create my Stage Curtains!! Its SO FUN and I think it would make ANYONE SMILE!! Even if they aren't familiar with the Nutcracker Ballet/Story!!?? I used the Mama Elephant Waterfall Die as the base for my Interactive Waterfall mechanism, altering it some to fit my Images and my Card Design!!
I LOVE the way it turned out!!

I Stamped and Embossed ALL of the Images onto the Waterfall Panels that I cut from Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I Stamped the Image onto masking Paper and created Masks for all of the Images!! I covered the Images with the Masks and used Distress Inks in Scattered Straw and Gathered Twigs to ink around the Images!! I wanted it to look as though they were on the stage!! I Colored all of the Images in using Copic Markers and stuck to the same colors to make it feel like part of the Production!! Then I added details to all of the Images using a White and Black Gel Pen and using Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen and Nuvo Drops in both Morning Dew and Glitter!!

For my second Card I wanted to create a Scene for the Caroling Newtons Image!! So I started by Embossing the Brick Embossing Folder by Taylored Expressions and then inked it lightly using some Antique Linen Distress Ink!! I Die Cut 2 of the Tall Trees from the New Forest Scene Builder Dies that was showcased yesterday and Inked them using Peeled Paint, Lucky Clover and Gathered Twigs Distress Inks!! Then I sprayed them with some of my FAVORITE Therm O Web Iridescent Glitter Dust Spray!! It makes it appear to be lite up by Lights and in real life is SO PRETTY!! I added some Star Sequins for the Top of the Trees!! The Door is a Die Cut from Mama Elephant and I inked just the Door with Gathered Twigs and Dark Espresso Distress Inks!! I used a N0 Copic Marker to add some Color to the Door Trim!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Door using some WoW Embossing Glitter Embossing Powder in Gold and Red, using my FAVORITE Purple Tape to mask the Sentiment into parts for Stamping with Versa Mark and then coating with the Embossing Powder and Heat Setting!! It takes alittle more time, but I think you'll agree by the results that it WORTH the extra time!!?? I colored my Images with copic Markers and added some Texture and dimension with a White and Black Gel Pen and some Tonic Studios Shimmer Pen and Nuvo Drops in Glitter
