Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Blog today sharing a really FUN Glow-in-the-Dark Card with you today!! 

Halloween in closing in FAST and I've been playing around with the Process to find the BEST results, and I've finally found a way to create a BIG WOW Factor!! 

I LOVE how this turned out and I can't wait to share how I've created it!! Let's get to it!! 

I LOVE trying NEW Techniques and I created this FUN Background using Distress Oxide Inks on a Back Card Panel using the NEW Spiderweb Stencil!! You can find ALL of the Details HERE!! I don't like to WASTE all of that Ink on my Stencils, so I placed it over a SSS Fog Cardstock Card Panel and Applied some Therm O Web Deco Foil Duo Gel using a Stencil Pal!! The Ink will mix with the Gel and fill in the NEW Spiderweb Stencil Design and instead of Drying Clear like it normally does it'll dry with a BEAUTIFUL Color to it, which when used on its on makes a STUNNING Background with TONS of texture!! SWOON!! 

The MAGIC Happens when you apply the WoW Glow-in-the-Dark Embossing Powder right to the Wet Get!! Apply the Powder over the Wet Gel and then remove the excess Powder carefully just by holding it upright over a piece of copy paper so you can collect all of the excess Powder to put back into your Jar!! Then set the Panel aside to Dry completely!! Once it's dry use you Heat Tool to heat set the Powder!! This is what the Panel will look like once you've heat set the Powder!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the NEW Batty Newton Image and colored it in using Copic Markers!! Batty Newton: N0, N2, N4, N6 & N8    Cheeks: R11  Then I Die Cut it out using the coordinating NEW Batty Newton Die Set!! I Stamped and Embossed the Bat Images also from the Set in Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Neutral Ultra Shimmer Embossing Powder!! Then I Die Cut them out!! I also Stamped and Embossed the Boo Sentiment Bubble from the Boo Hoo Stamp Set!! I Stamped with Vera Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with the WoW Glow-in-the-Dark Embossing Powder so it would Glow too!! EEEKKK!! I just LOVE making interactive Halloween Cards!! I Die Cut it out using the coordinating Boo Hoo Dies!! 

I adhered the Stenciled Card Panel onto a SSS Black Cardstock Scalloped rectangle Die Cut from the Frames & Flags Die Set!! Then I adhered it to my White Cardbase using some Fun Foam!!  I adhered the Batty Newton Image using some Gina K Designs Foam Squares only applying them to the center so I could fold up the Wings to make him really appear to by Flying!! I adheres the other Bats with Ultra Bond Adhesive just to the center of their Bodies, again so I could pop up their wings to make them appear to be flying!! Then I added an Iridescent Black Pearl from Studio Katia to the center of them for some Sparkle!! 

 I also created a coordinating Envelope using a TE Lavender Glaze Envelope and Inking the NEW Spiderweb Stencil in Black Soot Distress Ink!! I also added some Picket Fence Distress Splatters and I LOVE the way this set turned out!!

Here's the Design GLOWING in the Dark!! How AWESOME is that!!?? You should of seen me as I SQUEALED in EXCITMENT with how AWESOME and BLOD it turned out!! My BOYS LOVE too!! Infact it's in Greyson's Room on his Self so he can look at it ever night as he drifts off to sleep!! He called it his Halloween Decoration!! 💚💚💚

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today and I hope I've INSPIRED you to create some Stenciled and Glow-in-the-Dark Backgrounds for your Halloween Cards!! TRUST me the Recipients will LOVE them!! 

Have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

2 Cards for the Newton's Nook Designs & WoW Embossing Inspiration Week!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here with the FUN Newton's Nook Designs & WoW Embossing Inspiration Week!! I'm a HUGE FAN of both of these companies!! If you follow me you'll know that I might be alitte OBSESSED with the WoW Glitter Embossing Powders!! Infact, I probably use it on the majority of my Projects!! 😬 

I've created 2 Projects today!! First I've made this SWEET Halloween Card!! I just LOVE this Witchy Newton Image!! It makes me SMILE every time I see it!! If you're an animal lover too, I'm SURE you have the same reaction!!?? 

I started by creating my FUN background using the NEW Gingham Stencil!! I just LOVE this Stencil and there are SO MANY ways to use it!! I've used both Dusty Concord and Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Inks!! I sprayed the back of my stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray, then placed it over my A2 Cardstock panel!! I Started with the Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Ink and inked the design!! Then removed the Stencil and washed the excess Ink off!! I wanted to create a FUN Crosshatched Design so I flipped the Stencil and then replaced it over the Inked Design linking it up again using Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink!! I absolutely LOVE the results!!

Halloween makes me think of ALL things FUNKY!! So I thought it would be FUN to use the Bokeh Stencil Set over the top of the Gingham and I Inked it up with an Ink Dauber using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink after using an anti-static tool!! Then added some of the WoW & Simon Says Stamp Witching Hour Embossing Powder!! SWOON!! All of that SPARKLE makes this girls HEART HAPPY!! It's hard to see in the Photos, but in real life this Powder is just AWESOME!! 

I wanted to create a Background to help ground my Sweet Image, so I Die Cut a Circle and inked with Caved Pumpkin Distress Oxide Ink!! Went over it with an Anti-static Tool and then placed the Cascading Stars Stencil over the Circle Die Cut and Inked used Rusty Hinge Distress Oxide Ink and Embossed them using WoW Gloss Clear Embossing Powder!! A few Water Splatters add some extra texture to the background!!! Then I adhered my Stamped and Embossed Image that I colored with Copic Markers!! 

I framed the Background Circle with a couple other Circle Die Cuts one from TE Oreo Cardstock and and one from TE Grape Jelly Cardstock and then Stamped and Embossed the "Best Wishes" Sentiment onto a Circle Die Cut from the Frames Squared Die Set using WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I Framed it to match the Focal Image and adhered both using Foam Tape to my Cardbase!! A few Sequins with some Iridescent Jewels finishes off the Design!! 

For my Last Card I wanted to create a FESTIVE Holiday Card!! I LOVE Music Paper for the Holidays and I thought it would be FUN to create an Embossed Stencil Design!! I LOVE how it turned out and hope you'll give this Technique a try this Holiday Season!! 

I started by spraying the back of the Holiday Foliage Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray and then I placed it over the Lawn Fawn Music Patterned Paper!! I then took an Ink Dauber and Inked the Holly Leaves with Pine Needles Distress Oxide Ink after using some Purple Tape to mask them off!! I covered the Inked leaves with WoW Green Glitz Glitter Embossing Powder and heat Set it!! I removed the Purple Tape washed off the Stencil and then replaced it over the Design masking off the Berries!! I inked them with Candied Apple Distress Oxide Ink and then Embossed them with WoW Red Glitz Embossing Powder and Heat set them!! Then before I Stenciled any more of the Design, I Stamped and Embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Haul Stamp Set!! I LOVE this sentiment and I used the WoW Gloss Clear Embossing Powder over my Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink!! 

I then repeated the Process filling in the other Images using Distress Oxide Ink in Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink for the Pine Cones and Embossing with Metallic Copper Sparkle Embossing Powder, Peeled Paint Distress Oxide Ink and Embossing with Lime Ricky Embossing Powder!! For the last Images I Inked with Versa Mark Ink and Embossed with Calypso Embossing Powder!! I thing the Design is AMAZING the way that it is, but I wanted to make the Embossed Design POP even more, so I used the same Distress Oxide Inks along with an Ink Dauber to Ink over the Images!! Then I splattered it with some Water Droplets to help add some more Texture!! 

 I Die Cut a TE Cherry Pop Cardstock Panel and then Die Cut the Frames and Flags Scalloped Frame from some TE Oreo Cardstock!! Then I adhered it to the Card Base using some Foam Tape to POP it up and add some Dimension!! I LOVE this Card!!

Fabulous Floral Mother's Day Card!!

HELLO Crafty Friends!! I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today!! 

If your Mother likes flowers she would adore a gorgeous floral card like this one!! I created this amazing card by cutting all those gorgeous flowers out of Taylored Expressions felt using the Newton's Nook Designs Flower Trio Die Set!! I cut each Flower multiple times using a combination of different colored felts (Lilac and Dark Berry with Butter for the center then I used Peach and Papaya along with Marshmallow for the Center) I layered them all together to create those beautiful flowers. Then added a button to the center of each one to give it a special finishing touch!! Once I had all those flowers made I added them onto this gorgeous Mother's Day Card with Foam Tape to add some Dimension!! I Die Cut my Cardbase from TE Marshmallow Cardstock and added the Stamped and Embossed sentiment with the floral flourishes from our Mother's Day Stamp Set into the center. I inked with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the Background and then added color to the flowers and leaves using Copic Markers!! I added some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Center of the Flowers!! I framed the sentiment with the felt flowers on the top and bottom and added some leaves too round out the Design!! The scalloped edge behind the image was also cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set. from some Sunny Studio Gingham Lavender Patterned Paper!! 

Here's a close-up so you can see all the amazing details:

All those flowers and layers really make the card feel extra special! My Grandma has ALWAYS LOVED Flowers and her Front and Back Porch have always been covered with BEAUTIFUL Blooms!! I just KNOW she's going to cherish this Card for Mother's Day!! 

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