Pin It

HELLO & HAPPY Friday!!  =)
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog!! I wanted to share the SWEET Teacher Gifts I've made for Backett and Greyson's Teachers this Year!! If you follow me on my Blog or my Social Media you'll know that I've been making Sugar Cookies with a New Set of Cookie Cutters from Sweet Sugarbelle and American Crafts!! I just LOVE them!! So when I saw the Strawberry Cookie Cutter I just KNEW I had to use it along with the SWEET Newton's Nook Designs Love & Chocolate Stamp Set to create something Sweet for Valentine's Day!!

I've used a Kraft Fruit Container along with some Iridescent Tissue Paper for my Container!! Then I added 4 of the Covered Strawberry Sugar Cookies to each Container!! I Stamped and Embossed the Tag using the Tag Sampler Stamp Set and then Die Cut it out using the Coordination Tags Times Two Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Party Pops Stamp Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Covered Strawberry Image form the Love & Chocolate Stamp Set and then Die Cut it out using the Coordinating Love & Chocolate Die Set!! I used my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to Color the Strawberry (CR10, CR11 and CR5 for the Strawberry Body, Pear Green Colorista Marker, DC3 and JG6 for the Green Top and IG1, IG2 and IG6 for the Chocolate Coating) I also added some Clear Sparkle Pen over the Top and then added some Black Gel Pen to the Seeds for some extra Dimension!! I LOVE the way I turned out!!  I also Stamped and Embossed a Small Heart from the Darling Duos Stamp Set and Die Cut it out using the coordinating Darling Hearts Die Set!! I wanted a Sweet Bow to add so I Die Cut the Reverse Confetti Layered Bow Die from some Pink and Red Felt and layered it together adding a Vintage Button to the Center of the Bow and my Treats were done!! =) I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out and I hope I've INSPIRED you to create some SWEET Homemade Treats in a CUTE Container for someone SPECIAL in your Life for Valentine's Day this Year!!
THANKS S MUCH for sharing and have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

I'm also playing along with the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge: CUTE

HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!
WOW!! Is it me or did this week just FLY by!!?? I'm here today to share the card I've made for the New Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws #33 Ombre` Challenge!! I was SO EXCITED when I saw this Challenge!! I decided to use the SWEET Bird Image from the Darling Duos Stamp Set mixed with the Die Cut Feathers and a Layered Arrow from the Points & Plumes Die Set!!

I Stamped and Embossed the Bird Image and used the Coordinating NND Darling Hearts Die Set to Die Cut it out!! I then used my Copic Markers to Color them in using the Colors of Pinks and Blues!! I added some Shimmer Glaze Pen Dot Details to add some Sparkle!! Then I Die Cut SEVERAL of the Feathers and used the same Colors to Color the Feathers in the same Ombre` Colors!! I wanted to added some Gold like in the Challenge Photo so I Dipped the edges of the Feathers in to some WoW Gold Glitter Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the way they look in real Life!! =) I Layered them together underneath the Bird Image and then Die Cut a Flag Banner from the New Garden Window Die Set and Stamped and Embossed my Sentiment from the NND Flitry Flamingo's Stamp Set using the same WoW Gold Glitter Embossing Powder!! I wanted it to POP off the Image so I Die Cut another Flag Banner in Black Cardstock and layered it behind!! I added the same WoW Gold Glitter Embossing Powder to the Arrows that I Glued together and then added some Foam Tape and mounted it above the Sentiment Flag Banner!! A Few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins Finishes off the Design!! I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!! For more info on how to Play Along Please Visit the Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws #33 Ombre` Challenge!!
