Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!  

I'm joining in the FUN Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop today sharing a Card I've made using Products from Newton's Nook!! SQUEAL!! I'm SO IN LOVE with the way it turned out!! I don't know about you, but I honestly have DREAMS about my Stamps!! 😉

This Card Design was one of those Dreams!!

I Started by stamping and embossing the Images!! I Stamped in Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and used WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder to Emboss them!! Then I colored with Copic Markers (N0, N2 & N4  YG00, YG11 & YG17)!! 

I Stamped the Little Lilies Stamp Set Image three times and die cutting it out with the coordinating Little Lilies Die Set. I knew I wanted to create a Wreath so I Die Cut a Circle Die Cut and arranged the three Little Lilies die cuts around the circle!! Then I  Stamped and Embossed several of the Single Lily Bloom Images from the same Little Lilies Stamp Set and some of the Blooms, Leaves and Sprigs from the Lovely Blooms Stamp Set.  I colored everything with Copic Markers (R00, R11 & R22  Y00, Y11 & YR23  G00, G05 & G19) and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and some Pretty Pink Posh Jewels to the center of the Blooms!! I arranged the Images to round out my Wreath Design!! Doesn't it look so beautiful!? 

I KNEW I wanted to tuck a Coffee Mug into the center of the Wreath so I Stamped and Embossed the Newton's Mug Image!! Again Coloring with Copic Markers 

(C3, C1 & C00   E40, E42, E43 & E47) Then I Die Cut the Image out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set!! I Added some of the Flowers to the Coffee Mug to add even more BEAUTY to the Design!! I LOVE being able to use my Images in unexpected ways and to be able to combine them with some of my other FAVORITE Sets!!

 For my card base I used the Bubbly Stencil to create a soft background of bubbles with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some  Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and Nuvo drops in Bubblegum Blush and Strawberry Coulis too!! I finished off the card by Stamping and Embossing the "Lovely, Amazing, You" sentiment from the Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set!! I absolutely LOVE the way it turned out and I KNOW its going to bring a SMILE to the recipients Face!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I hope I've INSPIRED you on some ways to combine your Images to create a STUNNING Scene and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

HELLO!!  

I'm here with Paper Sweeties for a Look Back Inspiration Day #3!! This month we're taking a look back at some of my FAVORITE Paper Sweeties Products!! I'm showcasing the!!

I've made a FUN Shaker Card and I've used the New A Friend Is Stamp Set & Hugs and Kisses Stamp and Coordinating Die Sets!! I've also used some of the SWEET Sugar Sprinkles Sequins for the Shaker Elements!!

I started by Stamping the AWESOME New Sentiment to create a FUN background for my Card in ColorBox Suede Dye Ink!! I wanted some Splatters so I used some of the Colorbox ColoriQue by Lisa Marie Jimenez in Black Diamond!! I LOVE the look it gives in Real Life!! Then I Die Cut the Scalloped Frame into the Front of my Card to create my Shaker Window!! I Stamped and Embossed the Scalloped Frame Image and then Die Cut it out!! I wanted it to POP up off the Shaker Window so I layered 5 Die Cuts together to make it thick!! Then I Glued it to the Front of the Shaker Window that I Embossed the Sentiment #Party onto using Embossable Acetate!! 

I filled the Shaker Window with the Paper Sweeties Flower Sequins and some Clear Seed Beads!! I Stamped and Embossed SEVERAL of the Flower, Leaf and Heart Images using ColorBox Black Pigment Ink and covered it with ColorBox Clear Embossing Powder and Die Cut them using the Coordinating Dies!! I Colored them with Copic Markers and then I added some Tonic Studio Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Centers of the Flowers and the Hearts after coating all with some of the Tonic Studio Aqua Shimmer Pen in Glitter Gloss!! SQUEAL!! The finished results just make me HAPPY!! =) Some White Gel Pen details and my card was done!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!!

Calling All Sistahs May Encouragement Challenge CAS13!!

Pin It

HELLO!!

I'm here today for the New Challenge over on the Calling All Sistahs Blog!! 

EVERY Month on the 18th we'll be sharing a New Inspiration Challenge Photo!! 

Lets take a look at the Project I've made for the NEW Calling AllSistahs May Encouragement Challenge CAS13!!

I've used the Heart to Heart Stamp Set and the Peace and Comfort Stamp Set!! I wanted to use Therm O Web Deco Foils to mimic the BEAUTIFUL colors of the Inspiration photo!! So the Lapis Watercolor Foil was the PERFECT Choice!! For the first Card I Stamped and Embossed the Heart to Heart Stamp onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I layered the Lapis Watercolor Foil over the the Stamped and Embossed Image and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then I Stamped and Embosssed the Sentiment onto another piece of Distress Watercolor Paper and trimmed it down!! I added some ColoriQue Black Diamond Ink Splatters and added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops that coordinated with the Lapis Watercolor Foil!! In Real Life it looks so AWESOME!! For the Next Card I used the Negative of the Foil after I removed it from the Heart to Heart Piece!! Its one thing I LOVE about Foiling!! You can create 2 Cards (or More) with one Technique!! 
I Die Cut a Piece of Deco Foil Toner Paper to fit the size of an A2 Card!!  Then placed the Negative Foil Piece over the Toner Paper and ran it through the Laminating Machine!! I created the same Sentiment piece and adhered it to the Card!! To finish both cards off I trimmed a thin strip of Gina K Designs Black Cardstock and adhered it to the edge of the Foiled strips to make them POP!! 

Each month, on the 18th we will have an inspiration photo and challenge to spark your creativity.  You can use the photo or the colors or both to create your card to encourage, bless or lift the spirits of the recipient.  Then link up here by June 13th for your chance to win a $25 gift code from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps to use in their online store!!  You can use any product you wish, but if you are chosen and your card has a stamp or die from CAS-ual Fridays Stamps, your prize will be doubled!!!!!!

Pin It

                           Hello!!

                               SQUEAL!!

                                     I'm here with Day 4 of the 

               Newton's Nook Designs May Release 2018!! 

                            Today we're showcasing the NEW  

        “Newton Loves Boxes” Stamp Set + coordinating 

"Newton Loves Boxes" Die Set and "Newton’s Donut" Stamp Set + coordinating "Newton’s Donut" Die Set!! 

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

For my First Card I saw an Inspiration Photo with a cat in a Box in a pool and the Sentiment said "This SUCKS"!! HEHEHEHE!! I wanted to do something Similar, but for a Graduation Card!! I used an MFT Rays Stencil for my background using Scattered Straw and Tumbled Glass Distress Inks!! For the Waves, I've Die Cut them using the NND Sea Borders Die Set!! Three from Cardstock and one from Vellum!! Then used Distress Inks in Ocean and Faded Jeans!! I Stamped and Embossed the Image and used Copic Markers to color them in!! I wanted some writting on the Box so I Stamped and Embossed the "In the Sea" from the "Tranquil Tides" Stamp Set!! Then added some Sunglasses from the "Newton's Summer Vacation" Stamp Set!! I added a few Mini Stars to the Lenses and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for even more Sparkle and Dimension!! In real life they are SO FUN!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment form the "Message In a Bottle" Stamp Set in both Black and White to make it POP off the Card!! The Anchor was made using Shrink Plastic!! I Stamped the Anchor Image onto Shrink Plastic and then Die Cut it out using the "Message In a Bottle" Die Set which is from the same Set!! The Bird is from the "Newton's Birdbath" Stamp Set!! A few Pretty Pink Posh Crystal Clear Sequins with Morning Dew Nuvo Drops added to the Center finish off my Card Design!! 

I hope this makes you SMILE as much as it did me!!?? 

I wanted to make a FUN Shaker Card!! I thought a Box of Half a Dozen Donuts would be PERFECT!! I started by Die Cutting the Frame for the Donut Box!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Images and colored them in using Copic Markers!! I added Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and then Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Frosting!! I adhered them inside the Box once they were dry and added some Honeybee Stamps Sprinkle Confetti!! It's SO PERFECT for this Set!! I also added a Box from the "Papa Bear" Stamp Set and then used an Action Waubbler to Newton so it looks like he's Dangling from the Box of Donuts!! I Inked the Card Base with Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and added some ColoriQue Black Diamond Ink Splatter and Stamped ad Embossed the Sentiment!! Such a FUN Card that could be used for any occasion, or just because!! 

For my last Card, I Stamped and Embossed a FUN Black and White Background using the Donut Image!! Then I added some ColoriQue Black Diamond Ink Splatters!! I Die Cut the Circle Dies (one from White and one from Black Gina K Designs Cardstock) Then I Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment!! I also Stamped and Embossed the Newton Image and 2 Bows from the "Papa Bear" Stamp Set (showcased yesterday)!! I used the coordinating Dies to Die Cut them out after coloring them with Copic Markers!! I added Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen and then Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Frosting!! I used an Action Waubbler to Newton so it looks like he's Dangling from the Circle and to finish it off I added more Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops in a Rainbow of Colors!!
