Hello!!

SQUEAL!!

         I'm here with Day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs February Release!! 

       Today we're showcasing the NEW “Newton's Rain Boots” Stamp Set + coordinating Dies!! 

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

I've also used a couple of the other NEW Sets already showcased this week!!
The Raindrops Stencil and the Sky Scene Builder Die Set!! Here's a close up look just in case you missed them!! 

It's HARD to pick a FAVORITE, but I think if I had too this Image would be it!! Isn't it just the SWEETEST!! Here's a look at the Card I created!! 

 I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the Set!! SQUEAL!! They just make me SMILE!! I then used Copic Markers to color them in!! I used (Cat: E40, E42, E44, E47 & E99  Cheeks and Inside of Ears: R11  Rain Boots: BG10, BG45 & BG49  N0, N2 & N4   N4, N6 & N8  Flowers: R43, R46 & R89  N0, N3 & Y11  R00, R22 & Y11  Ducks: Y11, Y15 & YR23  R11  YR02 & YR68) 
Next I Started on the Background Panel!! I knew I wanted to use the NEW Raindrop Stencil, so I sprayed the back of the Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray and adhered it over my Background Panel!! I Inked with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink and then applied some Therm O Web Transfer Gel using the Stencil Pal randomly concentrating most of the Gel on the Right hand side of the Card Panel!! I removed my stencil and set the Panel aside to Dry!! Here's a Close up look as I know it's hard to see in the Front Facing Picture!! 

I LOVE the subtle look that the Gel gives so that the SWEET Images remain the Focal Point of the Design!! Next I Inked the background with some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink, leaving some White areas for interest!!  Then Die Cut 3 of the Clouds from the NEW Sky Scene Builder Set and colored them some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink using an Ink Dauber!! I placed the Panel in my MISTI Stamping Tool and used a Static Tool to remove any dampness from the area where I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment!! I used WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder and masked off the "Cute Boots" part of the sentiment and Embossed it with some of the   WoW Embossing Glitter!! I LOVE the addition of the Sparkle!! I Die Cut 2 of the Land Border Dies for the Layered Grass and Inked them using Peeled Paint and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide Inks!! 

I adhered the Grass Layers and the Clouds down to the Background Panel using some iCraft Ultra Bond Adhesive and then I adhered the Flowers and adhered the Images using some Foam Tape!! Some White and Black Gel Pen Details add character to the Images and then I added some Nuvo Drops in Sunshine Glitter to the center of the Flowers and Nuvo Drops in Morning Dew to the Buckle and Bottom of the Rain Boots and to the Beaks and Feet of the Ducks for some Dimension!! I just LOVE the way this turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create with this SWEET Set!!

Christmas Card and Gift Bag w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!!

 I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today with this SWEET and EASY Gift Set 
                    for any of those last minute Cards/Gifts you may need to create!! 

So for my Projects today I've actually used some of the Scraps that I had left over from my Newton's Nook Designs EXCLUSIVE email Project!! If you're not signed up for that email Feature you can sign up HERE so you DON'T MISS OUT on another Feature!! NEW EXCLUSIVE Projects are shared each Tuesday!! 

I Started by Spraying the back side of the NND Ornament Stencil and then adhered it to my Card Panel and used Distress Inks with Ink Daubers!! I used Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey, Peeled Paint & Peacock Feathers!! Then I splattered it with Water Droplets for some Texture!! Then I used Distress Inks to added some Color around the Ornaments!! 

I repeated that same process on another panel!! Stopping with just the Inking of the Ornaments on the stencil!! Then I Layered a thin coating of Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Gel using my Stencil Pal!! Then set it aside to Dry!! 

 Once the Gel is Dry, this is what the Panel will look like!! I LOVE the look on its own too, but I wanted to use the Negative Therm O Web Brutus Monroe Gold Static Foil piece that I had left over from another project I created!! You can find that project HERE!! I ENJOY being able to share ways to MAXIMIZE your products and using those negatives and left over scraps are ALL part of that process!! Meaning from the same core products you can create 3 Cards and a Gift Bag!! 

WHOOP WHOOP!!  

Next I layered the Negative Foil piece over the top of the Stenciled Ornament piece and then ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Its hard to see in the Photo, but the Ornaments like like they are Glass 3D Ornaments and that Gold Static Foil is just STUNNING in real life!! SWOON!! This is one of my FAVORITE Techniques for using those left over Foiled Pieces!! I hope you'll give it a try as I KNOW you'll just LOVE the results too!! 

To create my Card I cut a 1 inch strip off the Side of the Stenciled Ornament Card Panel after adding some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! Before Die Cutting the Panel I made sure to line up the pattern with my left over Negative Foiled Strip so that the Pattern would Line up SEAMLESSLY!! Then I adhered the Negative Foiled Strip to the back side of the Stenciled Card Panel lining up the Stenciled Design!! I then backed the Panel with some TE Oreo Cardstock and then Die Cut a NND Frames & Flags Die Cut Panel from some Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Cardstock!! I inked the edges with some Gathered Twigs Distress Ink!! For the Center of the Card I Die Cut the Frame from the NND Squares Framed Die Set also from some Lawn Fawn Paper Bag Cardstock and then added the layered Circles also from the same Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the NND Holiday Fringe Stamp Set and inked the center with some Wild Honey Distress Ink to help make the Sentiment POP!! I added some of the Pine Leaves Die Cut from some TE Avocado Cardstock using the NND Pines & Holly Die Set!! I inked the edges using a combination of Pine Needles, Peeled Paint and Gathered Twigs Distress Oxide Ink!! Then added a Die Cut Cardinal from the NND Forrest Scene Builder Die Set from some TE Cherry Pop Cardstock!! I LOVE the way this card turned out and hope I've INSPIRED you to give these techniques a Try to use up ALL of those Scraps and leftover pieces!! 

I created a coordinating Gift Bag by using the same Techniques!! I just Die Cut the Tag using the NND Fancy Edges Tag Die and Die Cut the Stitched Circle from the NND Squares Framed Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment and Inked the center using Wild Honey Distress Ink to help make it POP!! A few Pine Leaves were added and a BIG Red Bow finishes it off!! 

 I hope I've INSPIRED you today to use ALL of those leftovers!! Just look at the BEAUTIFUL Projects that await the SPECIAL recipient!!   

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a VERY FABULOUS & BLESSED CHRISTMAS WEEKEND!!

Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release Day 3 ~ Main Street Christmas & Holiday Fringe!!

Pin It

Hello!!

SQUEAL!!

         I'm here with Day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs Holiday Release!! 

       Today we're showcasing the NEW  

“Main Street Christmas” Stamp Set + "Holiday Finge" Stamp Set 

+ coordinating Die Sets!! 

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

 For my first Card I've used the NEW "Main Street Christmas" Stamp Set and coordinating Die Set along with the NEW Light String Stencil!! SWOON!! This might just be my FAVORITE card of the Release!! I started by placing the Light String Stencil onto my Card Panel after I sprayed the back of the Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I applied some Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Gel using my Stencil Pal and removed the Stencil and set the Panel aside to dry!! 

After the Gel was dry then I cut a Piece of Deco Foil in Black and ran it through my Laminating Machine Color side up and this is what you get!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE that these layered Stencils make this process of using more than one color to Foil SO MUCH Easier!! 

For the Second part I placed the #2 Stencil with the Light Bulbs already sprayed with the Therm O Web Pixie Spray on the back and placed it over the Top of the Foiled Strings lining it up with the etched design on the Stencil!! Then I applied more of the Deco Foil Transfer Gel with my Stencil Pal and sat it aside to Dry!! 

Once it was Dry I cut little pieces of Therm O Web and Gina K Designs Fancy Foils in Glimmering Gold, Sparkling Silver, Radiant Red, Glittering Green, Dazzling Orange and Brilliant Blue and adhered them over the Transfer Gel using tiny pieces of Purple Tape to hold them in place!! Then I ran it through my Laminating Machine and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the results!! I then took some Distress Inks in Mustard Seed, Wilted Violet, Candied Apple, Peeled Paint, Carved Pumpkin and Blueprint Sketch and Inked around the Bulbs to make them appear as though they are GLOWING!! I then added some Water Splatters to make it look like Snowflakes were falling!! Then I adhered some Hero Arts Snowflakes Sequins and a few Pretty Pink Posh Silver Jewels to the centers!! For the sentiment I Stamped and Embossed onto Black Cardstock using WoW White Embossing Powder and then for the Die Cut "Joyful" I Die Cut 5 Words and stacked them together!! For the top layer I used my Distress Inks in the same colors to create a Rainbow then Die Cut the Word!! I added some Shimmer Pen to the top and finished it with a Layer of Morning Dew Nuvo Drops and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I adhered both to a Layered Circle Die that I inked with some Tumbled Glass Distress Ink!! Isn't it AWESOME!!?? I want to make MORE of these for ALL of the SPECIAL People in my my Life!! ESPECIALLY the ones who LOVE EVERYTHING Rainbow just like me!!   

For my Last Card I wanted to use my Zig Clear Color Real Brush Markers so I Stamped and Embossed the NEW "Holiday Fringe" Image onto some Bristol White Cardstock!! Then I used the Zig Markers along with the Zig Blender Marker to Watercolor the Image!! I LOVE the BRIGHT Colors you can achieve with the Zigs!! Its just BEAUTIFUL!! I used the NND Frames Squared Die Set to Die Cut the "Holiday Fringe" Panel!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment in the center and used a White Gel Pen to Color in the MERRY then I also added some White Gel Pen Details just to make the Images POP!!

 I added some Shimmer Pen to ALL of the Red Colord Images and then I added some Morning Dew Nuvo Drops over the Red Bows, the Lights, The Candy Canes and the Tops of the Ornaments just to add some extra Shine and Dimension!! I layered the Panel with some Blue Cardstocks and added some Distress Ink to the edges to make it POP!! Then adhered it to the Scalloped Frame also from the NND Frames Squared Die Set in Black Cardstock!! I adhered it with Foam Tape to a Square White Cardbase and my Card and added a Few Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Jewels and my Card was done!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Spring Release Week ~ Sweet Friend Fri-Dies!!

Pin It
HELLO!!
Welcome to Day 3 of the CAS-ual Fridays Stamps Spring Release Week!!
Today we're showcasing the NEW Sweet Friend Fri-Dies!!
SQUEAL!! How CUTE is this Set!!?? I just LOVE ALL of the possibilities!!

I LOVE being able to use my Stencils in other ways than just the way they were intended to be used!! So for my Card today I started by inking the Bold Trellis Stencil with some Wilted Violet Distress Ink!! Then I added some Water Droplets for some Texture and let it dry!! I added the Stencil back down to fill in the opening spaces and used Shaded Lilac Distress Ink and Inked the Stencil again!! Then I used the Therm O Web Deco Foil Transfer Gel and the Stencil Pal to apply a Coat over the Inked Design!! I removed the Stencil and let it Dry!! This technique results in an AMAZING 3D Design!! Its SO STRIKING in person and with the NEAT Retro Feel of this Stencil I think it just REALLY adds to the entire look!! 

 I added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Glitter Nuvo Drops to the center of the Inked Deco Foil Transfer Gel Images and set it aside to dry!! Adds some SPARKLE that the Design NEEDED!! ;) For the SWEET FRIEND Die Cut Sentiment I used the NEW "Sweet Friends" Fri-Die Set!! I Die Cut the Words out 5 Times from White Cardstock and glued them together!! I then used the Wilted Violet Distress Ink to ink the bottom of the Words!! Then adhered them onto my Card!! I Stamped and Embossed the Happy Birthday Sentiment from the "Bushy Tailed" Stamped Set with White Embossing Powder!! I Cut it into a Banner and adhered it with some Foam Tape in between my Word Dies!! 

Here's a QUICK Video to help see it in Person!! It's hard to see the FULL affect of the 3D Design in a Photo!! ENJOY!!

Hello!!

SQUEAL!!

         I'm here with Day 1 of the 

               Newton's Nook Designs February Release 2019!! 

.       Today we're showcasing the NEW  

 "Loads of Blooms" Stamp Set + coordinating "Loads of Blooms" Die Set, the "Flower Trio" Die Set, the "Bold Blooms" Stencil and the "Bokeh" Stencil Set!!

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

 What do you think!!?? SWOON Worthy RIGHT!!?? I AGREE!! I LOVE the New Bold Blooms Stencil and there are SO MANY ways you can use it!! For my first Card I decided to use Distress Inks (Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry, Milled Lavender, Dusty Concord, Tumbled Glass, Bundled Sage, Wild Honey, Tattered Rose and Abandoned Coral)

 I LOVE the NEW 1/2 inch Purple Tape by Therm O Web!! It's PERFECT for ALL of my Stenciling needs!! I used it to hold down my Distress Watercolor Paper and then placed the Stencil over the top and used a few small pieces of Purple Tape to hold it in place while I inked up the different Flowers!! Once the Inking was done I used my Nuvo Glitter Pen to color oved all of the Flowers with the Stencil!!

 SWOON!! Just Look at that BEAUTIFUL Shimmer on those Pastel Flowers!!

 Next I used the Deco FOil Transfer Gel and my Palette Knife to add the Transfer Gel over the top of the Stencil and Inked Flowers!! I LOVE the texture of the Transfer Gel, as it goes on so EASY!!

 Here's a close up of the Dimension it adds, and you can see ALL of the BEAUTIFUL Color popping through!! Set aside to Dry!! You'll know its completely dry when its Clear and no longer Milky looking!!

 I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the NEW "Loads of Blooms" Stamp Set onto a NND Frames & Flags Die Cut and then adhered the Dry Stenciled and Deco Foil Transfer Gel Panel onto a Frames & Flags Scalloped Panel that I Die Cut from some Cardstock!! I added some Nuvo Glitter Drops to the Center of the Flowers just to add even more Sparkle and in real life its SUPER Pretty!!

For my next Card I used the Bold Bloom Stencil again for my Background, but this time I used it over Kraft Cardstock and I used some White Pigment Ink to stencil it!! I added some Dark Espresso Distress Ink to the edges of the Frames & Flags Scalloped Panel to make them POP!! I Stamped and Embossed the SWEET Bicycle Image from the NEW "Loads of Blooms" Stamp Set and colored it in using Copic Markers!! I just ADORE the Images in this Set!! So Many occasions they could be used for!! I adhered the Image onto a Circle Die Cut that I inked using Distress Inks to create a Mini Scene!! Some Nuvo Glitter Drops were added to the Center of the Flowers and I stamped and Embossed the sentiment onto the Stenciled Panel!! 

For my last Card today I used the AWESOME New Flower Trio Die Set and Die Cut the Daisy Die from some Taylored Expressions Marshmallow (White) Felt and then used the Leaf Die and Die Cut them from some Taylored Expressions Moss Green Felt!! I wanted FULL Flowers, so I Die Cut 3 Flowers for each Flower!! I like odd # so I also cut 3 Leaves!! I used Yellow Buttons and added some Burlap Twine for the Button Holes!! 

For the Background I Stamped the Happy Blooming Birthday Sentiment from the NEW "Loads of Blooms" Stamp Set and on a Diagonal in MFT Gray Grout Ink!! Then I added some Distress Black Soot Paint and added some Iridescent Jewels for some Sparkle!! I Die Cut a NND Frames & Flags Scalloped Panel and inked the edges with Dark Espresso Distress Ink!! 

I LOVE the way it turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to play with some of the other ideas in my head!!
