HELLO CRAFTY FRENDS!!

Welcome to Release Week for the Newton's Nook Designs 11 Year Celebration Release 2024!! Today I'm sharing a Project that I've made using the NEW Fractured Card Layout Die Set + NEW Black & White Basics Paper Pad +
NEW Natural Basics Paper Pad!! 

Here's a Close up look at ALL of the NEW Products being showcased for Today!!

SWOON!! Are you EXCITED about these NEW Products!!??
I am and I LOVED creating with!!
Here's what I've created for today!! 

I wanted to create a FUN Shaker Card using the NEW Fractured Card Layout De Set and I LOVE how it turned out!! I Started by Die Cutting several of the frames from some White Cardstock in order to layer them together along with some Acetate to create the Square Shaker Window in the center of the Die!!

I Die Cut 2 different Pattern Papers from the NEW Natural Basics Paper Pad and then filled in the rest of the Background with the Patterned Paper!! I wanted to be able to Stamp and Emboss my sentiment and have it POP, so I added some Vellum over the Kraft Natural Basics Patterned Paper!! I added some Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink to the Vellum and then Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment!! Then I added the Images from the Succulent Garden Stamp Set and then Colored them in using Copic Markers!! Then I Die Cut them out using the coordinating Succulent Garden Die Set!! I adhered them to the different areas using some Foam Tape for some of the Images in order to POP them up for some Dimension!! 

 I LOVE the FUN Shaker Element and feel like it adds some Playfulness to this Card Design!! I hope 've INSPIRED you with the NEW Products today!!??

For this FUN Shaker Card, I started by using the Circle Frames Die Set to die cut out the circle shaker front from some white cardstock. I added some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink around the edge and  LOVE how it grounds the Background inside of the Circle!! Then I Stamped and Embossed the image  from Harvest Haul Stamp Set and Colored it with Copic Markers!! Then I Die Cut the Image out with the coordinating Harvest Haul Die Set. Next I Stamped and Embossed the sentiment from Newton's Harvest Time Stamp Set onto some Kraft Cardstock and then Die Cut that out with the Banner Trio Die Set.

 I framed the Entire Scene with some paper from the Meowy Christmas Paper Pad that was Die Cut with the Scalloped Rectangle Die from the Frames & Flags Die Set!!

I LOVE how this Card turned out and the Shaker Element make me HAPPY!! I hope this INSPIRES you to create a Fall Shaker Card for someone SPECAL!!

Pin It

Hello Crafty Friends!! 

I'm here today as a Guest Designer for Poshta Design!! SWOON!! If you aren't aware of the AMAZING Stitching Dies and Felt that Lizzie showcases in her Shop, you MUST go and check them out!! I've been a HUGE Fan/Customer since the beginning and am SO EXCITED to share what I've created with ALL of the March Release Products!! 

Today, over on the Poshta Design Blog were showcasing the NEW Products:

Misty Morning Color Story (retails for $53)

Flower Farm Color Story (retails for $53)

Spring Fling Color Story (retails for $53)

NEW Felt Colors - Taffy, Gecko, Coral Reef, Sweet Nectar, and Cobblestone (retail for $6.75 per roll)

Embroidered Egg Details II Die (retails for $12)

Banded Egg Details Die (retails for $32)

I had SO MUCH FUN Creating with these NEW Products!! I personally LOVE to try and think outside of the box when it comes to Dies that I want to purchase as I feel like I get MORE for my buck if I can use them in different ways for LOTS of different Projects!! So this first Project REALLY puts that idea to the Test, and I hope you LOVE the Ideas I have to share today!! Let's get started!! 

For my First Project I've created a SWEET Carrot Pocket!! PERFECT for filling with a Sweet Treat, a Gift Card, or wait til tomorrow to see what I filled mine with!! SQUEAL!! I CAN'T wait to show you how CUTE it is!! 

I used the NEW Embroidered Egg Details II Die to Stitch the Design onto the Basic Egg Die (previously released)!! I used the Clementine Felt as the Base for the Carrot and then Die Cut the Tops of the Carrots from some the Soft Jade Felt and the Arugula Felt for the Centers for some Shading using some Dies that will be showcased tomorrow in another Set!! 

I added some Sequins and Bead Highlights to the center of the Tops and some Beads to the Center of the Leaf Stitched Design on the Carrot and LOVE how much details it adds, but this step is definatly NOT required!! It would be just as CUTE without it, its totally your preference as to how much detail you want to add!! Here you can see how I added 2 pieces together, folding down part of the piece and Stitching on the backside of the part that I folded down to get the continued design of the Stitched Detail!! I just ADORE how it turned out and who wouldn't want to receive a Gift inside of this SWEET Carrot Pocket!!?? 

I also finished off the back of the Pocket using the Conversation Hearts Message Dies "LOVE YOU" and I feel like this added touch just finishes off the SWEET Carrot Pocket!! I added some Green Felt Hearts to the center of the "O" for a touch of Sweetness!! (That Die is also being showcased tomorrow as part of another Set!!

For my Second Project today I'm showcasing the NEW Banded Egg Details Die and just had to create a Shaker Element for a Card!! If you follow me than you KNOW Shaker Cards are one of my FAVORITES to make and this Sweet Banded Egg Details Die makes it so EASY to create them for a Card!! 

I Die Cut several of the Frame Images from Cardstock in order to create my Shaker Frame!! Then I also Die Cut the op Layers from Patterned Paper to get that Decorated Easter Egg Design!! I Die Cut an Acetate piece as the Window!! I Started by adding the Stitched Tulip Design on the Base of the Egg!! Then I adhered the Frame tacking it in place with some Adhesive!! I added the Shaker Elements (Both from Trinity Stamps and Picket Fence) Then added the Top and Stitched the Design together!! 

I Inked the Card Panel with some Spun Sugar Distress Ink and then adhered the Shaker Element using Double Sided Adhesive!! I added some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones for some added Sparkle and then Stamped and Embossed the "Happy Easter" Sentiment also from Trinity Stamps!! (available tomorrow) I adhered it to the Shaker Window then added the Card Panel to a Scalloped Frame Die Cut from Patterned Paper using the NND Frames & Flags Die Set and adhered the Card Panel to an A2 White Cardstock Cardbase!! I ADORE how it turned out and fell like these would be PERFECT to send to anyone SPECIAL on your Easter list this Year!! 

THANKS SO MUCH for joining me today!! I hope I've INSPIRED you with the NEW Products being showcased today and don't forget to come back tomorrow for a look at the NEW Designs being showcased tomorrow!!
Have a FABULOUS WEEK!!

The Sound of the Elements Shaking is one of my FAVORITE Parts!! Just makes me HAPPY!!

Hello Fall w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Designs Blog today sharing this Hello, Fall Shaker Card using several Products!! 

|I LOVE to create Shaker Cards, and there are SO MANY ways you can use your Stencils for EASY Cards!!

I Started with the Falling Leaves Stencil and Inked with White Pigment Ink onto some Kraft Cardstock!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatters!! Once dry completely, I added an Acetate Layer and then Stitched it with my Sewing Machine!! I Stitched 3 Sides and then added my Shaker Elements!! Then Stitched the top of the Shaker to close it securely!!

Next I Stamped and Embossed the Hello, Fall Sentiment from the Heartfelt Fall Stamp Set with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder onto a Stitched Circle from the Circle Frames Die Set and then Colored the Sentiment using an E84 Copic Marker!! Then I Layered the Sentiment with some other Circle Die Cuts from both Black and Kraft Cardstock!!

Then I Die Cut some Leaves from the Fall Friends Die Set!! First from some Therm O Web Toner Sheets that I Foiled with some Champagne Deco Foil!! These match the Leaves that are in the Shaker Mix!! 

Then I also Die Cut some Leaves form some Kraft Cardstock and some Yellow Vellum that also matched the Sequins in the Shaker Mix!! I Adhered the Leaves around the Sentiment Circle and LOVE how they add that finishing touch!! 

I Die Cut some Doodlebug Patterned Paper using the Frames & Flags Die Set Scalloped Rectangle and then adhered the Panel to a White A2 Cardbase!! 

I LOVE the way this Card turned out as it represents EVERYTHING I LOVE about Fall!! SWOON!!
