HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here with Day 2 of the 

Newton's Nook Designs October Holiday Release!! 

Today we're showcasing the NEW "Dear Santa" Stamp Set + coordinating Dear Santa Dies and "Nutcrackers" Stamp Set + coordinating Nutcrackers Dies!!

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

How FUN are these NEW Sets!! I LOVE them and I can't wait to share what I've created with you!! 

For my 1st Card I've used the Image from the NEW Dear Santa Stamp Set!! I Stamped it with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and then Embossed it with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I used Copic Markers to Color the Image!! 

Santa: R14, R37 & R39   N0, N2, N3, N5 & N8  Y11 & YR23  

List: E81 & E84

I Die Cut the Image out using the NEW coordinating Dear Santa Die Set!! Then I added some White Gel Pen details and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen to Santa's Belt Buckle for some Shine!! Then I Die Cut a Stitched Circle from the Circle Frames Die Set from some Distress Watercolor Paper!! I Masked off the Ground using some Purple Tape and then Inked the background using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink!! Then I added some water Splatters for some texture!! I removed the Mask and reapplied it to the Sky to Ink the Ground using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! 

For my Card Panel I Die Cut a Stitched Rectangle and then I used the HO, HO, HO Sentiment from the set to Stamp a Design in the background about 1/3 of the way up from the bottom of the Panel in TE Sea Salt Ink!!  I LOVE the light Grey Color as it adds to the Design, but isn't taking away from the Focal Image!! Then I Added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

I Die Cut the Large Scalloped Circle from some Black Plaid Patterned Paper using the Circle Frames Die Set and then Die Cut a Circle from some TE Cherry Pop Cardstock to layer behind the Focal Circle!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment onto the Focal Circle using a Sentiment from a NEW Set being showcased later this Week!! So you're getting a SNEAK PEEK!! 😉 I Colored in the Sentiment using Copic Markers in Ombre` using R14, R37 & R39!! I Added some shading to the Ground using Copic Markers in N1 & N2 and used the Colorless Blender to blend things out!! I adhered the Santa using Foam Tape to the Focal Circle and adhered it together to the other Circles!! Then adhered them to the Card Panel again using Foam Tape!! I added some TE Gold Drip Drops to finish off the Design and I LOVE the way it turned out!!  

I Started by Stamping and Embossing the NEW Nutcracker Image and used Copic Markers to color it in!! 

Red: R14, R37 & R39  Green: YG03, YG17 & G16   

Yellow: Y11, Y15, YR23  Black: N3, N5 & N8   

White: N0, N1 & N2  Skin: E000, E11 & E13   Cheeks: RV11  

Drum Sticks: E33, E39 

I Die Cut the Image our using the NEW coordinating Nutcrackers Die Set!! I added some White Gel Pen Details and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen to ALL of the Yellow areas for a touch of Shine!! 

I Die Cut a Stitched Rectangle Card Panel and added some Scattered Straw Distress Oxide Ink behind where I wanted the Nutcracker Image to go!! Then I placed the Music Stencil over my Card Panel after I sprayed the back out it with Pixie Spray!! Then I added some Pumice Stone Distress Oxide Ink using an Ink Blender!! Then I added some Water Splatters and some Mowed Grass Distress Ink Splatters!! I also added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters and some Midas Touch Shimmer Pen Splatters to finish off the Design!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the set using Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I adhered the Nutcracker Image using Foam Tape!! I Die Cut a Framework Die Cut Frame from some TE Cherry Pop Cardstock and adhered the Card Panel to the Frame then adhered it to a TE Sea Salt Cardbase using some Fun Foam!! I LOVE this Card and the way that the Nutcracker seems to be bringing a BRIGHT Light with him as he Plays his Holiday Music!!

Sing a Song of Snowflakes w/ Newton's Nook Designs + Holiday GIVEAWAY!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing this Wintery Scene Card!! I just LOVE Snowflakes and Music, so this Sentiment makes me HAPPY!! I KNEW I wanted to create a Scene using it and the SWEET Owl's Snuggled together seemed fitting for a Night Time background!! P.S Read all the way to the bottom to see how you can WIN a pretty AWESOME Holiday Giveaway!! 

I started by creating my Background!! I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to ink inside a Circle Mask I made!! Then I used the NND Music Stencil to Ink over the Tumbled Glass using Antique Linen!! To add some contrast I used Chipped Sapphire to ink around the edges of the Circle!! I Stamped and Embossed the sentiment from the Winter Birds Stamp Set, then Stamped and Embossed the Snowflakes also from that set using WoW White Embossing Powder!! I added some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters and then added some Tonic Studios Blizzard Nuvo Drops to the center of the Snowflakes!! ALL of these little details ADD to that Winter Night Feel!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Images from the Love Owl-ways Stamp Set, and the Poinsettia Blooms Die Set. I Colored them in using Copic Markers!! 

I used the Forest Scene Builder Die Set for the Branches!! I inked the edges using Pumice Stone Distress Ink to make them POP!! I added the layered Poinsettia Blooms along with some of the Greenery to finish off the Poinsettia and added some Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Drops in Blizzard to the Berries!! I added Morning Dew Nuvo Drops to the Beaks, Feet and the center of the Poinsettia for some dimension!! I really LOVE how these sets compliment each other, but equally stand on their own!! 

SO MANY POSSIBILITIES!! 😉

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!! I hope I've INSPIRED you!! Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!
