Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

 

I'm here with Day 4 of the 

Newton's Nook Designs July Release 2022!! 

Today I'm showcasing the NEW Bokeh Balloons Stencil Set!!

Let's take a look at this AWESOME NEW Set!!

If you LOVE Stencil Sets, this one is a MUST Have for your Collection!! I LOVE all of the possibilities with this Set!! You can use ANY of your FAVORITE Inks or Mediums to make this Set come to life!!
SQEAL!! Cards for ANY Occasion made EASY!! 

I Started by Spraying the back side of the NEW Bokeh Balloons Stencils with Pixie Spray!! Then I Placed Stencil #1 onto the Card Panel I Die Cut from some Distress Watercolor Cardstock and placed it firmly into place!!  

Then I Inked the Balloons using some Distress Oxide and Distress Inks using some SSS Small Ink Blending Brushes to add some Shading to the Balloons for the look of Dimension and Highlights!! I used Scattered Straw and Fossilized Amber for the Yellow Balloons, Ripe Persimmon for the Orange Balloons, Peeled Paint for the Green Balloons and Salvaged Patina and Peacock Feathers for the Turquoise Balloons!! 

I removed the Stencil #1 once it was completely Inked and then Lined up the Etching marks on the Stencil #2 with the Inked Balloons and pressed the Stencil Firmly into place and then Inked again with the same Ink combos trying not to overlap any of the same color of Balloons!! Once completely Inked I removed the Stencil #2 and this is the BEAUTIFUL Panel I was left with!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed the "Happy Birthday to You" Sentiment from the NEW Birthday Oval Stamp Set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder onto a Circle Die Cut from the Circle Frames Die Set!!
Then I Colored the "Happy" with a Copic Marker YG03
I Die Cut two Layering Circles and Inked them with Distress Inks to match the Inked Balloons!! Then I layered them together and adhered the Circle Sentiment to the Card Panel using Foam Tape!! 

I then Die Cut a Scalloped Frame from some Distress Watercolor Cardstock using the Frames & Flags Die Set and Inked it with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink!! Then I adhered the Stenciled Card Panel and adhered the Scalloped Panel onto a White A2 Cardbase using Faom Tape!! 

I finished off the Card Design by adding some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rocks Rhinestones to add a touch of Sparkle and I LOVE how this Card turned out!! It's SO VERSITLE too as it could be used for either a Masculine or Feminine Birthday Card!!

Hello Cutie with Papertrey Ink May Release: Adorable Outfits, Little One, Night Sky Background Stencil!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here today sharing a SWEET Welcome Baby Gift Card Holder Box Book Project showcasing the NEW Papertrey Ink May Release!! I'm using the NEW Adorable Outfits Stamps & Dies the NEW Night Sky Background Stencils and the Little One Stamp Set along with some of the Product released last Month!! SWOON!! I'm SO in LOVE with these NEW Products that'll be available in the Papertrey Ink Store on May 24th at 10 PM ET!! 

I Started by creating my Gift Box using the Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book Box Die Set, Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book Die, Go-To Gift Card Holder: Book Packets Die Set!! I used some Doodle Bug Patterned Paper along with some 110 lb. Neenha Solar White Cardstock!! 

Then in order to create the Decorative Panel I Die Cut the PTI Mix & Mat: Confetti Die from some White Cardstock and then I masked off the border with some Pixie Tape and Inked lightly with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I Placed the NEW Night Sky Background Stencils and Inked again with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for a Tone on Tone Design!! I didn't want a Crisp Design so once I removed the Stencil I went over it again lightly with my Blending Brush just to blend it out alittle and I LOVE the way it turned out!! I Die Cut the Adorable Onsie Out and then Inked with some Spun Sugar Distress Ink!! Then I Inked the Lace Sleeves with some Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Ink and also Stamped the coordinating Lace Bow too!! I Die Cut the Images out using the coordinating Dies and using Foam Tape to adhere the Adorable Onsie to the front of my Gift Box Book!! I Stamped and Embossed the Star Tag from the Go-To Gift Card Holder: Bookmark Die Set!! Then adhered it to the Front of the Box Book with a Bling Zots Adhesive Dot and adhered a PTI Satin Bow!! 

For the Inside of my Gift Card Holder Book Box I create some Gift Card Holder and I Inked them all with the same NEW Night Sky Background Stencils and Inked again with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink for a Tone on Tone Design!! I created another Panel exactly like the one on the Front of the Box and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments from the NEW Little One Stamp Set!! How SWEET is that Psalm 139!! Then I added some Bows and a Trinity Stamps Bauble for the Center for some extra Sweetness!! 

I added a PTI Satin Ribbon for the Book Closure and enclosed some Gift Cards to Amazon and Starbucks!! Those NEW Mommas need their Caffeine to help with those LONG Sleepless Nights and Days!! I LOVE how it turned out and I hope I've INSPIRED you with some Ideas for those NEW Baby Projects you might need to create!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope you have a FABULOUS Week!! I'll be back again tomorrow with another Baby Card and coordinating Gift Card using some of these same Products!! 
Have a FABULOUS and BLESSED Sunday!!

Here's a Look at the NEW Partly Cloudy Stencil!!

Here's the Project I've created for today!! 

I Started by Die Cutting a Panel for my Focal Point Stenciled Scene!! I Placed the Stencil over the Panel and Inked the Cloud Borders using Salvaged Patina Distress Ink!! Then I Inked the Sun using Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin and Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Inks!! I created a FUN Layered Sun my rotating the Stencil and I LOVE how it looks!! 

Next I Inked the Rainbow!! I wanted it too look like it was coming from behind the Clouds, so I had to do some Masking with Purple Tape in order to extend some of the Rainbow Arches!! I think it was worth the extra work and LOVE how it came out!! I Inked with Festive Berries, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Pretty Posies Stamp Set and then added some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rocks Rhinestones for some Sparkle!!

Paper Smooches April #2 Challenge ~ Happy Things!!

Pin It

HELLO!! 

I'm here for the Paper Smooches April Challenge #2 ~ Happy Things!! I thought it would be FUN to create a Birthday Card using a Mix of New and Old Paper Smooches Products!! I LOVE shopping my Stash!! It's FUN to pull out those older Products and see how you can breath New Life into them!! So here's what I've created for today!! 

I Started with the SWEET Bumble Bee!! I've used the Build a Bug Die Set and Die Cut it from some Therm O Web Deco Foil Flock Sheets in Black Velvet and the NEW Rina K Designs Neon Hello Yellow Flock!! I Inked the Yellow Body with some Mustard Seed Distress Ink in order to add some Shading and it also helps to make the Flock texture POP!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE creating my Images with the Flock Sheets!! It really does help to bring them to LIFE!! I wanted the Strip to have some Texture too, and its hard to see in the Photo, but I've used the Paper Smooches Half Moon Patterned Paper and I Foiled the Plaid Design with some Black Deco Foil and then I Inked it with some Black Soot Distress Ink!! It's a FUN Black Foiled Plaid and in real life just that little detail really adds some character to this SWEET Bee!! I Die Cut the Wings from some Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Vellum and Inked them with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink for some Dimension!! Then I added a Trinity Stamps Clay Heart to the chest of the Bee and some 3mm Mini Wiggle Eyes to the Bee!! 

I Started by Inking my Background with some Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Inks and added some Water Droplets for some Texture!! Then I Die Cut the Flourish 1 Die into the Card Panel for the look of Flight!! I LOVE the movement it adds to the Bee!! I wanted to use the Honeycomb Die for a FUN background so I Die Cut it 5 times from some Neenah Solar White Cardstock and then layered them together!! I LOVE the dimension that it added!! I wanted to fill in the Design with some of the Hexagon Pieces, but I wanted to add Color to them so I Inked them using some Mustard Seed, Wild Honey and Rusty Hinge Distress Inks!! Then I added them to the Honeycomb Frame and around the Frame to the Design!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment "Hapbee Birthday" from the Courteous Cuties Stamp Set onto the Card Panel using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!!
