So Loved Baby Card & coordinating Gift Card w/ Papertrey Ink!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm back with another SWEET Baby Project today!! I'm just SWOONING over the NEW Papertrey Ink May Release, AVALIBLE tonight (May 24th, 2022) at 10:00 pm ET!! 

I've made a So Loved Baby Card and coordinating Shaped Gift Card for today!! I KNOW I'm not alone with my LOVE for ALL things Rainbow!! The NEW Little Ones Stamp Set is just SO SWEET!! Not only PERFECT for those Baby Projects, but I could see this Stamp Set being used with the Papertrey Ink Baseball T Die Set to create more Femine Styles too!! You could even use the In-Stitches: Baby Onesie Die you could just cut off the Bottom of  the Onesie for a T-Shirt Design!! 

SO MANY Possibilities!! 
Here's what I've Created for today!! So CUTE Right!!
Here's how I created them!! 

I Started by Stamping all of the Images from the NEW Little Ones Stamp Set!! I used Distress Oxide Inks in Tumbled Glass for the Clouds and Hickory Smoke for the Hanging Baby Letters!! I KNEW I wanted to use Rainbow Colors for the Rainbow so instead of trying to mask and stamp each arch separately, I decided to pull out my Distress Markers and I Colored each Arch of the Rainbow with a different Color!! I used Candied Apple, Worn Lipstick, Mustard Seed and Cracked Pistachio!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE this Technique and have told myself I NEED to use this Technique more often!! Then I Die Cut the Images out using the coordinating NEW Little Ones Dies!! I added some White Pen Details!! 

I Die Cut the In-Stitches Onesies and Die Cut them from some Distress Watercolor Cardstock!! I inked the edges of the Onsies with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink for some Dimension!! Then I Inked the center of the Onesies with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink!! I then added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink Splatter!! Then I adhered the Rainbow, Clouds and Letters to create my Design!! I added some Star Die Cuts using Dies from the Set and Inked them with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I added some Nuvo Midas Touch Glitter Pen to the Stars for some Gold Shimmer and in real life it REALLY adds that special Touch!! I then added some Mini Iridescent Stars for even more Sparkle!! 

I Used the NEW Night Sky Background Stencil to Emboss the Card Panel!! After Embossing the Design into the Card Panel I Inked the Panel with some Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink!! I replaced the Stencil over the Card Panel and then Inked the Embossed Design with Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink and then I colored the Stars with the Nuvo Midas Touch Glitter Pen!! SWOON!! The Background all on it's own would make for a BEAUTIFUL Card!! 
Then I Die Cut the Star Tag from the Go-To Gift Card Holder: Bookmark Die Set out of some Distress Watercolor Paper and Inked it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide Ink and then Stamped the "So Loved" Sentiment using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! I added it to the Card using a Bling Zots Adhesive Dot and then adhered a PTI Satin Bow to finish off the Design!! 

I created the coordinating Gift Card in the same way!! Only I Die Cut the In-Stitches: Baby Onesie Die it to Create a Tag Shape!! I Folded the Cardstock to create a Top Fold and placed the Die just to the top of the Folded Cardstock so it Cut Out 2 Onesies together to create the Tag Base!! 

I Die Cut another from some Distress Watercolor Cardstock and Inked it again with Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to add some Dimension!! Then I Inked the center of the Onesies with Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink!! I then added some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink Splatter!! Then I adhered the Rainbow, Clouds and Letters to create my Design!! I added some of the Die Cut and Mini Iridescent Stars too!! 

I Stamped the Sentiments onto the inside of the Gift Card and and added more Die Cut and Mini Iridescent Stars to finish off the Design!! I added a Twine String and my Gift Card is ready to attach to a Gift Bag!!

I just LOVE how this Card and coordinating Gift Card turned out and I hope I've INSPIRED you with some ways to use the NEW May Release Products with some of your FAVORITE Older PTI Products to create some SPECIAL Gifts for someone in your Life!! 

DON'T FORGET the NEW Papertrey Ink May Release will be avaliable tonight at 10:00 pm ET!! 
I'll be back to share some more Projects soon!! 
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

Newton's Nook Designs August Release ~ Sips & Stories, Mugs & Houndstooth Stencil!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here with Day 1 of the 

Newton's Nook Designs August Release!! 

Today we're showcasing the NEW "Sips & Stories" Stamp Set + coordinating Sips & Stories Die Set, Mugs and Houndstooth Stencils!! 

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

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the NEW Sips & Stories Stamp Set and coloring them with Copic Markers!! I wanted to go with a FUN Rainbow Color Scheme!! I used Red: R43, R46 & R89  Orange: YR00, YR02 & YR18  Yellow: Y11, Y15 & YR23   Green: YG11, YG13 & YG17  Blue: B32, B34 & B37  Purple: V0, V15 & V17  White: T1 & T3  Kitten: E40, E42, E44 & E47  Cheeks: R11  Blonde Hair: E21, E26 & E99   Brown Hair: E30, E33 & E37  

Skin: E00, E11 & E13 

I Die Cut the Images out using the coordinating NEW Sips & Stories Die Set!! Then I added some White Gel Pen Details and added them to the Embossed Background I created using a FUN Trinity Stamps    Die!! It actually Embosses the Design of the Living Room into the Cardstock and I LOVE how the Size of the Image works PERFECTLY as far as the scale goes!! SO MANY possibilities with this combination of Products!! 

I wanted to keep the Focus on the Images themselves, so I chose to keep the background White!! I LOVE a good White Space Design and I really like how the Images POP and tell such a SWEET Story all on there own!! Just makes me SMILE thinking about all of the HAPPINESS going on in that Room!! 📚💖☕ I also wanted to make the Sentiment POP!! I used my MISTI Stamping tool along with some Therm O Web Purple Tape to mask off the word Happiness and I used my Distress Markers in Candied Apple, Carved Pumpkin, Mustard Seed, Mowed Lawn, Peacock Feathers & Wilted Violet to color the Letters in Rainbow Order and then I huffed on the Stamp and Stamped it onto my Card Panel!! I repeated this process a few times in order to get a really Crisp Image!! Then I coated it with some WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I repeated the same Process of Stamping and Masking off the Different Words!! I used Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss, Candied Apple Distress Ink and Embossed with WoW Red Glitz Embossing Powder and Peacock Feathers and Embossed with Teal Sparkle Embossing Powder!! I LOVE the Visual Triangle with the Rainbow Colors!! It really helps to move your eye across the Card Front!! 

I wanted to create a coordinating Envelope so I picked a TE Cookie Monster Envelope and used the NEW Mugs Stencil to decorate the Flap!! I sprayed the back of the Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray and then placed it over the Flap of the Envelope after I masked off the rest of the Envelope!! I used the TE Blender Brushes to apply some Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I heat set the Ink and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the NEW Heartfelt Stamp Set being showcased tomorrow!! I added some Red Glitter Nuvo Drops to the Hearts on the Mugs for a FUN touch of Sparkle and Shine!!

Keep Warm and Snuggle Up!!

HELLO and HAPPY FRIDAY!!

Is it cold where you live today?? We got Snow and it's about -7 outside!! BRRRRRRR!!  I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today So I decided made this card perfect for a Cold Winter Day!! I started by using the image of the girl and cats snuggled up and reading from the Cozy Day In Stamp Set!! The sentiment "Keep Warm and Snuggle Up" is from the Fireside Friends Stamp Set!!

 

I wanted a COZY looking background so I used the AWESOME Taylored Expressions Basketweave Cutting Plate Die to create a "Woven Blanket" from some Watercolor Paper because I wanted to alternate the Front and Back Sideof the Paper for some Noticeable Texture!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! =) Then I layered it onto a Stitched Panel Card Base just to Finish off the Edge!! I Stamped and Embossed my Images onto Distress Watercolor Paper and then Watercolored the Image using my Distress Markers!! I went with Vibrant Jewel Toned Colors and I LOVE the way it POPS off the Card!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto a Strip of Watercolor Paper and added it to the Left hand side of the Image!!  Some Stamped and Embossed Hearts were added to the Top of the Image to help make your eye go right for the Image!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Image and the way the Card came together!! I hope you'll feel INSPIRED to SNUGGLE UP and Read a Good Book or to CREATE this Weekend using some of your FAVORITE Newton's Nook Designs Products!!?? If you do I HOPE you'll SHARE then with us on Social Media as we LOVE to see what you're creating and you NEVER KNOW when you could be Showcased and Shared on the NND Blog!!  =)

Holly Jolly Gift Tag w/ Honey Bee Stamps!! =)

Pin It

HELLO!!
SQUEAL!! Christmas is just Days away!!  I'm up on the Honey Bee Stamps Blog today to share a FUN Gift Tag for any of those LAST Minute Gifts that you have to Wrap!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVE to use my Products to make Gift Tags and the Holidays are a PERFECT time to pull them out and use them in yet another AWESOME Way!! To start my Gift Tag I  used the Let It Snow Stamp Set along with the coordinating Let It Snow Sweet Cuts Die Set to Stamp and Die Cut the Sweet Snowman and Bird Images using Distress Markers to Color (Tumbled Glass, Black Soot, Ground Expresso, Carved Pumpkin and Candied Apple) on the Stamps and then Stamping them onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! I then took a Water Brush and went over some of the Lines to add alittle bit of Watercolored Texture!! I wanted the Snowman to have some Sparkle so I added some of the BEAUTIFUL Ice Chips Glitter!! I LOVE the FUN texture and Sparkle it adds to the Sweet Image!! I also added some to the Ground so it looks like Real Snow!! I Die Cut a Tag Image and Watercolored the Background and then added some of the Pretty Snowflake Images form the Let It Snow Set!! I did the same Technique of Coloring on the Stamp with my Distress Markers using (Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean and Faded Jeans) to get a FUN Tie Died look!! Then I Embossed them using Clear Embossing Powder!! I added the Sentiment in Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and then Embossed it using Clear Embossing Powder!! For the Back of the Tag I used the Merry & Joy Stamp Set and Stamped and Embossed the To and From!! Then I repeated the Snowflakes the same way I did them on the Front of the Tag to add some Color and FUN to the Back of the Tag too!!

I hope you give this SWEET Gift Tag a try and if you do I hope you’ll share what you make with us on Social Media!! We LOVE LOVE LOVE to see what you create using the AMAZING Honey Bee Stamps Products!!
