HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today to share a SWEET A Hug in a Mug Card using a combination of New and Older Products to INSPIRE you on ways to combine them for your Winter Card giving needs!! 

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set!! SWOON!! These images are some of my FAVORITES to use this time of Year as we LOVE a YUMMY Cup of Cocoa on a Cold Day!! I Stamped in Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!!  

Next I Die Cut the Large Scalloped Circle using the Circle Frames Die Set from a piece of Pattern Paper from the Christmas Basics Pattern Paper Pad!! Then I added a Circle Die Cut from some Green Cardstock and a Stitched Circle from some White Cardstock!! I Inked the White Cardstock Circle with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink and then I Die Cut the NEW A Hug in a Mug Die from some Black Cardstock 4 times and adhered them altogether for a Dimensional Sentiment Die Cut!! I adhered the sentiment in the center of the Inked Circle!! 

I finished off the Designs by adding some Nuvo Drops and some Trinity Stamps Vanilla Sugar Snowflake Sprinkle Embellishments and some Sea Glass Semi-Opaque Rhinestones!! SWOON!! These little Details add so much to the Design!! 

I added another Grouping to the Top Right Hand Side of the Card for a grouping of 3 and I LOVE how this Card turned out!! I hope this Card INSPIRES you to create some Cards combining your NEW and OLD Products for a FUN Design!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK/WEEKEND!!

Hug in a Mug w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

Larissa here today sharing this SWEET Card over on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog!! Newton is getting ready for a cozy holiday Celebration!!

To create this Festive card I started by stamping the images of the big kitty in the mug from the Newton's Mug Stamp Set and two smaller holiday mugs from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set, using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I then colored all three images in with Copic Markers!! 

Green: YG00, YG17 & YG25       Red: R00, R14 & R37        White: N0 & N3      Kitten: E40, E42, E43 & E47

Cheeks/Inside of Ears: R11a
Turquoise: BG00, BG45 & BG49 

Then I Die Cut the Image out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die Set and Cup of Cocoa Die Set!!

Then I added White Gel Pen details to each image, and some Glossy Accents to the Snowman Nose, Candy Sprinkles and Candy Canes for some Dimension and Shine!! 

The two tiny Candy Canes and Holly Burst are from the A Kitten Christmas Stamp Set (cut out using the coordinating A Kitten Christmas Die Set) to add to the festive feeling!!

I Die Cut a Circle from some White Cardstock using the Circle Frames Die Set and a Scalloped Circle from the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad!! I Inked the Circle with some Salvage Patina and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! 

Here is a close-up so you can see all the details:

For the FUN Background, I created my own Black and White Pattern by repeatedly stamping the mug images from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set in Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossing with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then added the Scalloped Circle onto my Card Background using Foam Tape for some Dimension!! Then I adding Black Soot Distress Paint splatters for some Texture!!  Some Nuvo Drops in Red and Green, along with some Snowflake Sequins and TS Fairy Rocks Rhinestone embellishments finish out this amazing card!!

I had a BLAST creating this Festive Holiday Creation and hope I've INSPIRED you one a way to mix and match some of your FAVORITE NND Products!! 

There's also a WINTER SALE going on NOW through November 23 at 11:59 pm CST!! 
HAPPY SHOPPING Crafty Friends!!

I Die Cut seven Frames from some Gina K Designs Black Onyx Cardstock and then created the COFFEE Window by Embossing the Frame Image onto some Gina K Design White Cardstock and then I Cut the Image out and Die Cut the COFFEE Letters out of the center of the Frame!! Then I adhered two of the Black Frame ontop of the Coffee Die Cut panel and 5 of the Frames on the bottom side to create a raised Window!!

HELLO & HAPPY Monday!!

Today I'm playing along with the WINTER Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!

There are going to be TONS of fun Prizes too - 

including a $25 store credit from Newton's Nook Designs!!

You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along! 

 

Here's what I created:

With the Holiday Season upon us I like to try and find ways to make Gifts that I can give not just for the Holidays, but throughout the year using my MOST beloved Stamped Images!! If you follow me you know I also LOVE to make Jewelry, so why not combine the two!!??

I Started by Die Cutting the Cup of Cocoa Die Set from some Grafix Shrink Film and then Stamped the Image from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set using MFT Hybrid Black Ink and used my Copic Markers to Color the pieces!! I used a Heat Gun to Shrink them and then I used the Quick Dry Aleene's Jewelry & Metal Glue to add the Metal 8mm Earring Rounds onto the backs of both pair!! In hind Sight, I'd use a Smaller Earring Round, but that's all I had on hand!!

For the Tag I used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! I layered the Scalloped Tops for a FUN Design using Reverse Confetti Avocado Card Stock!! I Die Cut some of the other pieces for the Special Pieces in order to add the Earrings to the Tags so they are Supported well!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments from the Newton's Candy Cane Stamp Set on the bottom of my Tags!! I plan on giving them as gifts to one if my SWEET Friends who just LOVES Coffee!!
