HELLO & HAPPY FRIDAY!!
I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today!!
I'm sharing some FUN Reversible Earrings for today and I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the way they turned out!! If you follow me yo KNOW I LOVE to make Jewelry too and my Stamps make Jewelry making so FUN and EASY because you can use SO MANY of your Images to create DIY Jewelry too for Gifts with the Products you already have on hand and it truly is SO EASY to do!!
Here are the Earrings for today!! I've used the BEAUTIFUL LEAVES Stamp Set along with the coordinating BEAUTIFL LEAVES Die Set to create my Earrings!!
  

Aren't they AWESOME with the Reversible Design!!?? I actually found out how to do this by complete accident!! I was wanting to see if you could Heat Emboss on Shrink Plastic so I decided to stamp and emboss the Design onto the Die Cut Shrink Plastic and then I added my Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder when I went to heat emboss it and the piece shrunk it turned the Embossing into a FULL Die Cut covered in Embossing but on the other side the Design was still there beings I had used a Colored Ink to Stamp with rather than using Embossing Ink!! How AWESOME!!??  =)  So I decided to create Reversible Earrings and I just LOVE the look!! I have had SEVERAL Questions on how to do this Technique so I've made a Video to share!! YIPPEE!!


SQUEAL I'm SO EXCITED and I hope you'll give this a Try!! Like I said its SO EASY and you can use Products you already have on hand to create such FUN Pieces of DIY Jewelry for your Gift Giving Needs, plus if you have Littles in you life rather it be your own Kids or Nieces and Nephews or even Grandkids or just the Neighbors Kids this is also an AWESOME Project for them too!! They LOVE LOVE LOVE to watch the Shrink Plastic Melt and to have something that they can PROUDLY WEAR and SHARE that they made!! So there are TONS of ways to try out this Technique and you can create Bracelets, Key Rings or even just Embellishments for your Cards too it doesn't have to be just for Earrings!!  Part of the FUN for me is thinking outside of the Box and se what I can create!! =)
Also don't forget today is the LAST DAY to Play Along with our Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge: HALLOWEEN!! For more info on how to play along just follow the Link!!
I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!!   =)

Paper Smooches November Monthly Challenge ~ Gold Peace on Earth Holiday Card!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!
I'm stopping in to share a card I've made for the New/First Paper Smooches Monthly Challenge!! The November Challenge is: GOLD - incorporate gold somewhere on your project!! 
I started by using one of my Favorite Paper Smooches Holiday Stamp Sets called "A Blessed Christmas"!! I LOVE EVERYTHING about this set and have SO MANY Ideas with the Images/Sentiments in the Set!! Now if I only had an EXTRA 4-6 Hours in a Day to be able to make them ALL!! HAHAHAHA!! =) Here's the Set in ALL of its Glory!! (See what I mean!!??)

I wanted to use the Angel Image and I wanted to give her some Dimension by making the Wings 3-D!! I LOVE to add dimension to my cards and this was SUPER easy to do just by stamping and cutting the Wings out a couple different times!!  I cut the entire Wing Section out and then cut just the Large Single Wing Image out making sure to color around the edge of the Wings with a Black Soot Distress Marker to give them a seamless and finished look once all of the pieces were layered together!! I used my Color Pencils and Gamsol to color in my Angel and then I added some Rock Candy Distress Glitter to the Gold Metallic Wings for some added Sparkle!! I Die Cut a Stitched Frame 1 Die Cut from some White Neenah Solar Cardstock and Stamped and Embossed the Holy Star Image using some Ranger Gold Embossing Powder!! Then to make it POP I stamped over it again off setting the Star alittle bit this time using my Versa Fine Black Ink and I LOVE the way it looks!! I added some Clear Embossing Powder over the Top just to finish it off and to make sure that I didn't end up with a smudge from Ink transfer!! =) I then took some Vellum and a White Neenah Solar Cardstock Panel and stitched across the top with my Sewing Machine and some Gold Metallic Thread!! I then Masked my Sentiment so I could repeat the same Gold Embossing Powder treatment to the Peace Word and then I Stamped the rest of the sentiment in plain Versa Fine Black Ink and again covered it with Ranger Clear Embossing Powder to make sure I didn't have any Ink smears!! I added some Clear Crystal Pretty Pink Posh Sequins in 4mm size along with some Gold Sequins from Hazel and Ruby!! I LOVE the little bit of extra Sparkle and FUN that they add and my Card was finished!!

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