HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

 

I'm here with Day 1 of the 

Newton's Nook Designs April Release 2022!! 

Today we're showcasing the NEW "Cycling Friends" Stamp Set + coordinating Cycling Friends Die Set and the Tree Line Stencil!!

Let's take a look at the AWESOME NEW Products!!

SQUEAL!! Such AWESOME New Products for today!! 
Here's what I've Created for today!! 

For my First Card I wanted to create a FUN Scene using the NEW "Cycling Friends" Stamp Set!! I LOVE the Idea of the Critters riding along to bring a SPECIAL Delivery to a SWEET Friend!! So I decided to create the Scene in Motion!! By Cutting off part of the Image on the Left Hand Side of the Card it makes the Image feel as though it really is Moving across the Card Front!! I Stamped and Embossed the Images with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WOW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! 

Then I Colored the Images using Copic Markers!! 
Kitten: E40, E43, E99 & E47     Puppy: E30, E33 & E37      Inside of Ears: R00  Black: N08, N06 & N3
Coral: R00, R14 & R32     Yellow: Y11, Y15 & YR23  
Lavender: V00, V15 & V09     Basket: E33, E37 & E39    Green: YG11 & G28 
I Die Cut the Images out and I added White Gel Pen Highlights and some Glitter Pen for some Sparkle!! Then I inked the Background with Salvaged Patina and Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Inks!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment on Cardstock using WoW Bright White Embossing Powder and then Inked the second part of the sentiment in Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink!! I Stamped the Happy Birthday Sentiment on the Inside of the Card again using Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink and I LOVE how it turned out!! A few Trinity Stamp Fairy Rock Rhinestones were added to finish off the Design with a little added Sparkle!!  

For my Second Card using the NEW Tree Line Stencil I created a CAS Card that could be created in MANY Color Combinations and for ANY Occasion just by changing the Sentiment!! I LOVE to create Cards Like this for Gift Sets as the Design is EASY to Mass Produce!! 

I Started by spraying the back side of the Stencil with Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I adhered the Stencil over my Card Panel and Placed the Stencil pressing it firmly into place!! Then I masked off any of the open Stencil areas with Tape!! Then I Inked with Twisted Citron Distress Oxide Ink!! 

I then Placed the Tree Trunk part of the Stencil over the Tree Base Ink portion and again pressed it firmly into place and Masked off the open areas of the Stencil with Tape!! Then I Inked with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink!! 

Lastly I placed the Leaves portion of the Stencil over the Inked Tree Base and again pressed it firmly into place and Masked off the open areas of the Stencil with Tape!! Then I inked with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink!! 

 SWOON!! I REALLY LOVE the Simple and Clean Design!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the "Thinking of You" Sentiment with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I added a Few Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones for some Sparkle and then I Die Cut a Frames & Flags Scalloped Panel from some of the NND Paper!! I adhered it to my Cardbase and my Card is ready to send!!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps March Release ~ Swirls Stencil!!

Pin It

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm here for Day 4 of the Cas-ual Fridays Stamps March Release!! Today we're showcasing the NEW Swirls Stencil!! 

SWOON!! I LOVE this NEW Swirl Stencil!! The possibilities are ENDLESS!! Today I'm showing how you can use it with Deco Foil for a FUN Textural Rainbow Design!! 

I Started by Spraying the back side of my Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I adhered the Stencil to my MFT Smooth White Cardstock Card Panel!! I pressed the stencil firmly to the Cardstock and then applied and thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo Gel using a Stencil Pal!! Then I removed the Stencil and set the Panel aside to dry completely!! 

Once the Gel is completely Dry, it'll be Clear and Tacky to the touch!! Here's what it should look like!!  

Then I applied some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink to the Center of the Swirl Stencil Design!! I cut a piece of the NEW Brutus Monroe Rainglow Deco Foil large enough to cover the Card Panel!! I placed it over the top of the Panel Color Side up and placed it into my Parchment Paper Shim and ran it through my Laminating Machine!!

SQUEAL!! Isn't it just STUNNING!!?? I LOVE the SPARKLE you get with this Rainglow Foil!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the NEW Sassy Smiles Duo Set with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!!

Next I Die Cut the Smile Word and Shadow Image!! I Die Cut the Shadow Image from some MFT Black Licorice Cardstock!! I wanted the Smile Sentiment to be White to POP against the Shadow Image and the Card Panel! I Die Cut the Smile 5 times from MFT Smooth White Cardstock to create a 3-D Sentiment!! I didn't layer the little highlights, and just glued them straight to the Black Shadow Image!! I LOVE the way this turned out and thing the results are WORTH the effort!! 

To finish off the Card Panel I adhered some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones and adhered the Card Panel to my Cardbase with some more Foam Tape!! A Simon Says Stamp A2 Audrey Blue Envelop matches this Card PERFECTLY!! With all that Shimmer is HARD not to SMILE!! 

Don't forget to VISIT the CAS-ual Friadys Stamps Blog and leave a comment telling Michele what you think of the NEW Products being Showcases today, for your chance to WIN a Prize Bundle!! You'll get another chance tomorrow when we introduce more goodness!!

25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 with Newton's Nook Designs!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here to join in the FUN of the 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 with the AMAZINGLY Talented Host Tracy McNeely!! 

As usual this event wouldn't be possible without ALL of the AWESOME Sponsors!! It makes me feel SO Proud to be a part of this AMAZING Community!! 
Today's GENEROUS Sponsor is Newton's Nook Designs!! 
I feel so BLESSED to be a part of the NND Design Team and I can't wait to show off the Tags I've made to share with you today!! I want to add SPARKLE to ALL of the things during the Holidays, so it only seemed fitting for me to share some different ways to add Sparkle to your Holiday Tags!!?? 

I've created this Trio of Tags using the NEW Newton's Nook Designs Tiny Trees Stencil along with the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! 

For the First Tag I wanted to use some of my FAVORITE WoW Embossing Glitters to Emboss the Tiny Trees!! I Started by spraying the back side of my Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then placed it over the Kraft Tag I Die Cut using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! Then I Embossed over the Stencil using the WoW Clear Embossing Ink and an Ink Dauber!! I removed the Stencil and applied the WoW Embossing Green Glitz, Lime Ricky and Pistachio Glitters and Heat Set them for this STUNNING Design!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Newton's Christmas Kittens Stamp Set!! I backed it with a Black Cardstock Circle and then adhered it the Tag using some Foam Tape!! 

A Scrap Ribbon Bow was added to finish off the Tag and I adhered the Tag and Bow onto a FUN Plaid Gift Bag!! 

For my next two Tags I wanted to show how you can get a more Dimensional Stenciled Design when using the Therm O Web and Gina K. and Rina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gels!! The holidays just aren't the same without LOTS of Sparkle in my book!! Here's how I've created them!! 

I Started by spraying the back side of my Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then placed it over the Text Patterned Paper Tags I Die Cut using the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set!! Then I applied the Grass Green Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel over the Stencil using the Stencil Pal and set it aside to Dry!! I repeated the same process on the other Tag only this time using the Rina K. Designs Screamin Green Glitz Glitter Gel and set it aside to Dry!! 

I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiments onto the Stitched Circles using a sentiment from the Christmas Haul Stamp Set!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE this Sentiment for Gift Tags!! 

I adhered the Sentiment onto the Gift Tag using some Foam Tape and adhered a Scrap Ribbon Bow to finish it off!! 

Then I adhered it to a FUN Plaid Gift Bag and I LOVE the way that it turned out!! 

If Dimension and Sparkle are your Jam, this Tag Design is a MUST create for the Holidays!! 

Here's the Close up look at the Tag I Stenciled using the Rina K. Designs Screamin Green Glitz Glitter Gel!! 

I adhered the Sentiment using the same sentiment from the Christmas Haul Stamp Set onto the Gift Tag using some Foam Tape and adhered a Scrap Ribbon Bow to finish it off!! 

Then I adhered it to a FUN Black and White Gingham Gift Bag and I LOVE the way that it turned out!!
So there you have it, three different Ideas on ways to add some Sparkle to your Stenciled Gift Tags this Holiday Season!! 

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

I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!! For chances to WIN make sure you leave comments along the way each Day and if you feel INSPIRED create a Tag make sure to LINK the Tag/Designer that INSPIRED you and then LINK it up HERE for another chance to WIN!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

HAPPY Friday!! Who's ready for the Weekend!!?? I am, it's Fair Weekend so we have LOTS going on and I'm bracing myself for just 3 more weeks of FUN with my boys before School starts!! I'm really NOT ready!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing a really NEAT Technique I call Negative Stenciling!! I came up with it after wanting to use the Negative pieces after I Deco Foil Flock a project!! 

Here's the Card I've created for today!! I had a Negative piece of White Latte Deco Foil Flock that I had left over after creating another Card!! I didn't want to wast the entire sheet of Deco Foil Flock, so I decided to try and Stencil over the Negative space and these are the results!! SWOON!! It's hard to see in the photos, but the Negative Stenciled design is Inlaid into the Deco Foil Flock Sheet!! In real life it looks so AWESOME and I'm sure the recipients will look at it and WONDER!!?? How did they do that!!?? 

First step is to spray the back of your Meow Stencil with some Pixie Spray!! Then place it over the Negative Deco Foil Flock Sheet lining up the Stenciled Design!! Then Stencil over the Design with some Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using a Stencil Pal!! Remove the Stencil and set the panel aside to dry!! Once completely Dry I used the Rainbow Shattered Glass Deco Foil Sheets to Foil over the Stenciled Design!! I removed the Deco Foil Film and this is the AMAZING Result!! I just LOVE how AWESOME it looks!! 

I Die Cut the Panel and then added the Frames and Flags Scalloped Die Cut Frame from some Black Cardstock!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the Cat-itude Stamp Set!! Onto a Circle Cut from the Frames Squared Die Set and backed it with a Black Cardstock Circle then I added a Mini Clay Heart to finish off the Design!! I really hope you'll give this Technique a try!! The final results are HARD to to BEAT!! 

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

Pin It

HELLO!!

I'm here with CAS-ual Fridays Stamps for the Crafting of Hue Sponsorship and SALE!! 

That's right ALL Stencils for $5.00!! 

I've created 2 Cards for today to show how you can Create 2 Cards out of 1 Stenciled Image!! 

Here's what I've created for today!! 

I started by Spraying the back side of my Pawesome Stencil with some Therm O Web Pixie Spray!! Then I placed the stencil over my Cardstock and applied a thin layer of Deco Foil Transfer Gel Duo using a Stencil Pal!! I removed the Stencil and let the Gel dry completely!! 

Once the Gel was completely Dry I cut a piece of Gina K Designs Fancy Foils in Radiant Red and ran it through my laminating Machine!! You can also run it through your die cutting machine!! 

Here's what it looks like after you run it through the laminating Machine!! Then SAVE that Negative piece because we'll use it to create our 2nd Card!! 

I placed the Negative Foil Piece onto a Deco Foil Toner Sheet that I cut to be the same Size as the Foil and ran it through my Laminating Machine!! Then removed the Film to reveal the Design!! SWOON!! I LOVE this part!! 

I picked a second color of Gina K Designs Fancy Foil in Sparkling Silver and cut a piece large enough to cover the Design!! Placed it down onto the Toner sheet and then ran it through my Laminating Machine!! I then added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters for some Texture!! 

Here's the Finished Cards!!

For this Card I Stamped the I'm Sorry for your loss sentiment onto the bottom half of the Card and added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! I fussy cut the Stenciled Foiled Toner Sheet and adhered it to the cardbase with Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

For my Second Card I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters over the Card Panel and then I Fussy Cut the Stenciled and Foiled Heart and added it to the Card using some Foam Tape!! I Stamped and Embossed the Heart Image from the Rainbow Bridge Stamp Set using Black Onyx Versa Fine Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! Then I Fussy Cut it out and Adhered it to the center of the Foiled Heart!!

I LOVE the way these cards turned out and I hope you feel INSPIRED!!??
