HELLO!!
Who's been ENJOYING SHARK WEEK!!?? We've been LOVING it!! So I thought what better way to CELEBRATE than by making a Card with Newton's Nook Designs featuring their AWESOME Shark Bites Stamp Set  and the coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!!
Here's a look at the Layered Scene Card I Created!!  =)

 

First, I wanted to Create a Layered Scene Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Layered Scene Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a New NND Sea Borders Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using Chipped Sapphire and Peacock Feathers Distress Ink stamped ontop of one another then I covered them with Clearsnaps Clear Embossing Powder!! I used Distress Oxide Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to create the Sandy Ocean floor Stamping some of the details in Walnut Stain Distress Oxide Ink!! I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and added some Tonic Studios Aqua Sparkle Pen Spaltters to make the Ocean Shimmer!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how it turned out and hope it INSPIRES you to create a Card for Shark Week!!

I'm also playing along with the

I couldn't just Create One Card so I have a Couple to share today!! First, I wanted to Create an Interactive Card!! If you KNOW me you KNOW I LOVE LOVE LOVE to Create Interactive Cards and I had such a FUN Time making this one!! I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Shark Image onto some Distress Watercolor Paper!! Then I used a Lil' Inker Designs Die Set to Create the Ocean Background!! I wanted to have an Underwater Scene so I used Distress Inks to Create my Ocean Background making the bottom Darker and  Lighter towards the Top!! I Stamped the School of Fish Image using the same Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink and then I used the NND Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and the Coordinating NND Tranquil Tides Dies Set to Stamp and Emboss SEVERAL of the Images to Create my Under Water Scene!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE how well these Stamp Sets work together!! =) I Splattered some Water onto my Inked Background for some Texture and then I took the Interactive Slider Die to make my Slider Channel!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE how the Shark can Swim Up and Down and Spin ALL Around in the Under Water Scene I've Created for Him!!  =)

 For my Second Card I wanted to use the FUN "Hope Your Day Doesn't BITE" Sentiment from the Shark Bites Stamp Set along with the Jumping Shark Image and then I Die Cut it using the Coordinating Shark Bites Die Set!! It ALWAYS makes me SMILE!! So I KNEW I needed to Create a Scene to go along with it!! I decided to Stamp the SWEET Winston Image from the NND Beach Party Stamp Set, along with the Surf Board and the Sea Shell Image!! I used the Lawn Fawn Simple Stitched Hill Side Boarders Die Set for my Beach and then used the Mama Elephant Stitched Waves Die Set for my Waves!! I used Distress Inks applied to Distress Watercolor Paper to Create my Background and then added some Water Splatters for Texture!! I added some Shadowing and then Stamped the School of Fish Image using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to make them look they are underneath the Water!! Some Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Marker was added to SEVERAL of the Images and my Ocean Waves to added some Sparkle!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE the way it turned out!! =)

I've made SEVERAL Creations to share and I'm hoping they Inspire you to create a Party of your own!! =) First though I have a Card using the New "Message In a Bottle" Stamp Set and the Coordinating "Message In a Bottle" Die Set!!

I combined two Sentiments from the "Shark Bite" Stamp Set and I just LOVE it!! Next the FUN Drink Holder Ideas!! I used Paper Straws and some Vintage Milk Jars!! I created several different Ideas for how you could Decorate them!! SO FUN!! Party Hats!! What's a Party without Party Hats!!?? I used a Die Set from PTI and I Die Cut the Fringe Circle from two different Shades of Felt!! Next I thought it would be FUN to have some Shark Arm Badges!! I used another PTI Die and Die Cut my Felt and then Stitched around the Edges!! I added another Circle and Stamped and Embossed the Images and then Stitched around the Edges attaching it to the Arm Badge!! I think it would be FUN to have some Markers set up and to let each of the Kids Color their Own Sharks and then add the FUN Party Hats if they wanted too!!??  I decided to also share a FUN Invitation Idea!! =) I've used a Library Card and Holder from Fancy Pants Designs for the Base, but you could create these using anything you wanted!!  =) Last but NOT least are the FUN Gift Tags and Bags!!

Shark Week ~ "Shark Bites" with Newton's Nook Designs!! =)

Pin It

Hello!!

Are you Enjoying Shark Week!!?? We LOVE Shark Week and I have LOTS to share today!! =)

I was SO EXCITED when I saw this Shark Tails Stamp Set and I had SO MANY Ideas for how I wanted to use it!!  I hope I'm able to FILL your Minds with SEVERAL ways you'd like to use it too!!??  =) (This Set is Currently Out of Stock, but it is on Re-Order and will be Restocked Soon!! You can sign up for the NND e-newsletter to be the first to know when this item is back in stock.)

 

SORRY! Our new “Shark Bites” stamp set is sold out!

THANK YOU to all the awesome shark fans! We will be ordering more and hope to have it back in stock soon.  Meanwhile, we hope you will continue to celebrate shark week with us!

To make up for "Shark Bites" being out of stock you can get your choice of any single 4x6 stamp set for $11.99 with coupon code: SHARK Offer valid through Sunday July 12, 2014 on new retail orders at newtonsnookdesigns.com. Valid on one item with the regular price of $14.99.

First a Card!! I saw this Picture on Pinterest and I thought it would be FUN to create a similar Design!!

I LOVED the Colors and the Feeling and thought it was PERFECT for a Shark Week Card!!?? I started by Die Cutting a Memory Box Cornerstone Seal Die in the Center of a Distress Water Color Card Panel!!  I thought it would make the Perfect Sun, but also with the Pinked Edge I thought it also looked like Shark Teeth too!!?? =) I then Stamped and Embossed my Shark Image in the Center of the Sun Die Cut!! I also Stamped and Embossed another Shark Image onto Distress Water Color Paper and then I used my Distress Water Color Markers to Water Color it!! I Fussy Cut it out and Layered it together using a FUN Spring!!  =) I LOVE how in REAL Life it really looks as though the Shark is Jumping out of the Ocean!! I then Die Cut some Waves and I Stamped one of them using the Stamp Border from the Stamp Set and then I layered it with two Die Cut Waves from the Paper Smooches Waves Die!! I LOVE the Layers and how they are uninform just like real Waves!! I used my Distress Inks to Water Color and Ink my ENTIRE Card Base!! I was SO AFFRAID to add the Dark Colors!! I've used both Black Soot and Hickory Smoke to add to the Depth of the Colors!! I then used my Powder Tool over the Inked Card Base so that I could Stamp and Emboss the Sentiment!! I hope you LIKE it as much as I do!!??  =)

Next I have a Shaker Card!! =) I wanted to make a FUN Shark Shaker Card using several of the Shark Images from the Set!!  =) I used the Simon Says Stamp Stitched Rectangle Dies to create a FUN Frame and then I went to town creating a FUN Scene!! I Stamped and Embossed all of the Images onto Distress Water Color Paper and then used my Distress Inks to Water Color them!! I then added LOTS of Coarse Glitter and Sequins for the Shaker Elements and my Card was done!!

For my Last Card I thought it would be SUPER FUN to create a Card using a Few Older NND Stamp Sets to show how you can combine them with other Sets you might already have to create some FUN Cards!! After looking through them, I decided to use Newton's Summer Vacation Stamp Set along with the Seagulls from the Flirty Flamingos Stamp Set and the Sign from the Winter Tails Stamp Set!! I LOVE the way it turned out!!  =) I thought the Free Hugs Sentiment went well, because you could make this an ANY OCCASION Card!! I thought it would make a FUN Birthday Card with the "Snappy Birthday" Sentiment on the inside or you could use it as a "Hang in There" Card or even a "I'm Thinking of You" Card!!

 I hope you ENJOYED my Cards for today and that you'll stop by to see the AMAZING Card that Crafty Math Chick has to share too!! If you've MISSED the rest of the Creations shared this week (!!??) you can Visit the Newton's Nook Designs Blog to check them out!! Hope you'll Visit ALL Week for continued Inspiration!!

I'm also Linking this Last Card up to the New Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge Furry Friends!! They're Showcasing the Newton's Nook Designs Stamps this Week so for EVEN more AMAZING Inspiration I hope you'll VISIT and JOIN in on the FUN there too!! =)
