HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing this SWEET Thinking of You Card!! 

I Started by creating my Background Panel!! I Stamped and Embossed the Card Panel using Images from the Purr-Maid Newton & Narly Mermaids Stamp Sets!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed the Purr-Maid Newton Image and colored it with Copic Markers!! 
Brown: E40, E43 & E44   Turquoise: BG11, BG13 & BG45   Purple: V00 & V15   Coral: R00, R11 & R22 

Then I used the coordinating Purr-Maid Newton Dies to Die Cut the Image out!! I added some Nuvo Shimmer Pen for some SPARKLE and then costed the Shell Top and Mermaid Tail with some Glossy Accents for some Dimension and Shine!! 

For my Heart Background I Die Cut the Heart Frames Die Set  from some TE Confetti Cake & Lavender Glaze Cardstock and then Stamped and Embossed the "Thinking of You" Sentiment from the Little Lilies Stamp Set!! 

I adhered the Heart Framed Focal point to the Card Panel using some Foam Tape and then I finished it off by adding some Jewels and Sequins to add some SPARKLE!! 

I LOVE how this Card turned out and the Color Combo is making me READY for the Summer!! I hope I've INSPIRED you today!! THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Thinking of You Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs & Therm O Web!!

Pin It

This week Newton's Nook Designs and Therm O Web are partnering for a FABULOUS Inspiration Week!! ALL Week Long both Design Teams will be sharing ways to add fun foils and more to your cards using Therm O Web Products with Newton's Nook Designs Products!! There are PRIZES too!! Read all the way to the end of this post to find out how you can WIN!!  

Today I'm sharing a BEAUTIFUL Thinking of You Card!!

I Started by Spraying the Backside of the NND Seashell Stencil with Pixie Spray!! I LOVE this product and it really makes Stenciling EASY!! 

Then I placed the Stencil over my Card Panel and pressed it into place!! Then I applied a Thin Coat of Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using the Stencil Pal!! I've tried LOTS of different tools to apply the Transfer Gel Duo and my hands down FAVORITE is the Stencil Pal!! BONUS, you get 2 in a Pack!! 

I set the Panel aside to Dry completely!! Once completely Dry the Gel will be CLEAR and Tacky to the touch!! Then I cut a Piece of Deco Foil in Opal large enough to cover my Panel and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! (You can use your Die Cutting Machine too, I just prefer the results I get with the Laminator!!) To finish off the Card Panel I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! 

Next I Stamped and Embossed my Images from the Narly Mermaids Stamp Set!! I Stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I used Copic Markers to Color in the Image: 

Purple: V000, V01, V15 & V09   Cheeks: RV11  

Turquoise: BG11, BG45 & BG49  Skin: E00, E11 & E13 
Hair: E31, E33, E37 & E99  Starfish: R00 & R22   

Fish: YR00, YR18  N0 & N4

Then I used the coordinating Narly Mermaids to Die Cut the Images out!! I added White Gel Pen Details and some Nuvo Gold Glitter Drops to the Narwhales Horn to add some Highlights and Sparkle!! 

For my Focal Point Scene I Die Cut a Large Scalloped Circle using the NND Circle Frames Die Set from some TE Sprinkles Cardstock and then Die Cut a Large Circle from some White Cardstock and Inked it with Peacock Distress Oxide Ink!! I added some Water Splatters for some texture, then I stamped and embossed the "Thinking of You" Sentiment from the NND Little Lilies Stamp Set!! I Stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! 

I adhered the Images to the Scallop Circle Scene and placed it onto the Card Panel using some Gina K Designs Foam Tape!! Then I adhered some Sequins and Jewels using Bling Zots Adhesive Dots!! I then wanted to create a coordinating Envelope!! I'm using a TE A2 Envelope in Sprinkles and then placed the NND Seashell Stencil over the Flap of the Envelope and pressed it into place!! Then Inked with Peacock Distress Oxide Ink!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE the results and it's FUN to add that Little Extra Touch to make the Card seem even more SPECIAL for the recipient!! 

I hope I've INSPIRED you today on ways to use the NND & Therm O Web Products together!! I hope you'll join us ALL Week for even more inspiration and for chances to WIN!! 

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

HELLO!!

 I'm here for the Newton's Nook Designs 7 Year Blog Hop & SALE!! Who feels like CELEBRATING!! So EXCITED to help Newton's Nook Designs CELEBRATE their 7th Year of AMAZING Products and FUN!!

My Card is a Shaker Card!! I LOVE to make Shaker Cards!! Building a scene that mixes both New and Older Stamp Sets!! Its FUN to look through your stash and bring NEW life to some of the Images you might not have used in awhile!! I started by Stamping and Embossing the Images from the Newton's Nook Designs Purr-Maid Newton Stamp Set, Narly Mermaids and Manatee-rific!! I colored the Images using Copic Markers!!

Newton: E40, E43, E47
Mermaid Tail:
Starfish:
Angel Fish:
Seahorse: YR00, YR02,        V01, V06, V12
Purple Fish: V01, V06
Sea Shell: E40, E43, E44

Then I used some Distress Oxide Inks in Tattered Rose, Abandoned Coral and Aged Mahogany to Stamp the Coral Images from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set!! Then Embossed them using some WoW Clear Embossing Powder!! I used the coordinating Dies from Purr-Maid Newton, Narly Mermaids, Manatee-rific and Tranquil Tides to Die Cut the Images out and added some White Gel Pen Details then set them aside!!

 For the Base I Started with an A2 Distress Watercolor Panel and inked it up using Tumbled Glass!! Then I Inked two more Panels using Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass, Shaded Lilac, Salty Ocean and Chipped Sapphire!! I added some Water Droplets using a Distress Sprayer for some dimension!! Then I die cut the Top of each of the Panels to create some Waves using the Newton's Nook Designs Sea Borders Die Set!!

To add even more interest to my under water scene I took the Newton's Nook Designs Sunscape Stencil and adhered it over my Distress Inked Panel with some Therm O Web Purple Tape!! Then used some Simon Says Stamp White Pigment Ink and Inked it up using a Ranger Mini Ink Blending Tool!! I LOVE the look of Light Filtering in from up above!! I used the Newton's Nook Designs Land Borders Die Set to Die Cut a Sandy Bottom and used Distress Inks in Antique Linen and Gathered Twigs to Ink it up!! I added some Stamped Details using the Image from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and Gathered Twigs!!

 I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Narly Mermaids Stamp Set in WoW Opaque Bright White Super Fine Embossing Powder!! Then I adhered all of my Images creating the FUN under water scene using Therm O Web Mixed Media Multi-purpose Adhesive!! Some Tonic Studios Simply White Nuvo Drops were used to create some Water Bubbles coming from the Images and set aside to dry!! 

I adhered some Hot Off the Press Acetate Sheet to the back of my Card Front Panel using some Therm O Web iCraft Double Sided Tape!! I used several Therm O Web 3D Mounting Squares to create my Foam Frame layer and added a mixture of Pretty Pink Posh Iridescent Mini Star Confetti, Sea Glass Jewels and Studio Katia Iridescent Crystals for the Shaker Elements!!
