Hello!!
I'm here to share the New July Essentials by Ellen Pin-Sights Challenge as a Guest Designer!! SQUEAL!! You have NO IDEA how EXCITED I was when Laurel Beard emailed and asked me to Join them!!  =) I decided to make a FUN "CELEBRATE" Card!! It could be used for MANY occasions!! I also used the Rainbow Colors!! SWOON!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE this Challenge!!
Here's what I created!!

I thought it would be FUN to use LOTS of Images from different Sets to create my Card!! I just LOVE LOVE LOVE it when you can get MORE out of your Stamps!! I Stamped and Embossed The Animal Images from the AWESOME Essentials by Ellen Clear Stamps, Tree Farm by Brandi Kincaid with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Ranger Super Fine Clear Embossing Power onto some Ranger Ink Distress Watercolor Paper !! I added some FUN Elements to dress the Animals up using Images from the Essentials by Ellen Clear Stamps, Bear Ware by Julie Ebersole!! SQUEAL!! How FUN is it to take Images from different Sets to create a SWEET Scene!! I then cut everything out using the coordinating Essentials by Ellen Designer Dies, Tree Farm by Brandi Kincaid and the Essentials by Ellen Designer Dies, Bear Ware by Julie Ebersole!!
I stamped and Embossed the Sentiment on the Sign from the Essentials by Ellen Clear Stamps, Fancy Thanks by Julie Ebersole!! I LOVE that it COVERS SO MANY occasions!! =) I colored everything with Copic Markers and then added some White Gel Pen High Lights, Tonic Studios Aqua Shimmer Pen for some Sparkle and some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Nuvo Drops for Texture!! I masked off the Cardbase using some Masking Tape and then Inked it up using Tumbled Glass Distress Ink for the Sky and Gathered Twigs Distress Ink for the Ground!! I added some Water Splatters with the Tim Holtz Distress Sprayer!! I used Foam Tape to POP up my Images and my Card was done!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE theway it turned out and I CAN'T WAIT to see what you create!!! =)

Newton's Nook Designs March Release ~ Cottage Garden!! =)

Pin It


HELLO!!
Happy Wednesday and Welcome to the Thrid day of the New Newton's Nook Designs March Release!! Today we're showcasing the New "Cottage Garden" Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Images and the New Dies and think you will too!! Let's take a Look at the FULL Sets, Sold Separately available Friday March 17th, 2017!!

SQUEAL!! How SWEET are those Images and that Die Set!!?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Beautiful Floral/Folk Art Details!! I CAN'T WAIT to share what I've made!!

How AMAZING is this "Cottage Garden" Stamp Set!! SWOON!! I'm in LOVE!! =)

I started with a Grey Card Base and then Die Cut a Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Rectangle Panel and a Stitched Rectangle Panel!! I wanted to Play with my New Distress Oxide Inks and wanted to see if I could Water Color on the Stamps with them and Stamped using my Misti!!?? I found out that the Details and the Stamping are BEAUTIFUL!! =)

 

How FUN!!??  This is what the Panel Looked like after I Stamped it!!  =) Which on its own would make a BEATIFUL Card!! But I wanted to see what would happen if I Sprayed it with Water!! Well it Reacted and Bled until the Images were No longer a Detailed Image of Stamping anymore (similar to regular Distress Inks) except the Stamping is WAY more Crisp and the Colors are Variegated in hue and intensity!! It kept the Colors contained in there place so I Decided how AWESOME would it be to take the Stamps and Stamp and Emboss right over top of the Image I had initially Stamped with the Watercolor Distress Oxide Ink!! I Stamped with Vesa Fine Black Onyx Ink using my Misti to Line everything up and to be able to Double Stamp beings they are Solid Images!! The I covered them with Clear Embossing Powder and Heat Set them!! I then took the matching Dies and Die Cut them out and placed them to create my Folk Art Pattern!!  I used the NND Flag Die from the Garden Window Die Set and Die Cut a Banner from some Black Cardstock and Embossed the Sentiment with White Embossing Powder!! Then I added some Faceted Gems to the Centers of the Flowers!! Black to the Bottom Flowers and a Redish/Pink Colored Gems for the other Flowers!!  I LOVE the way it turned out and hope you'll give this FUN technique a TRY!! =)

Newton's Nook Designs March Release 2017 ~ Lovable Laundry Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set!! =)

Pin It


HELLO!!
Happy Tuesday and Welcome to the Second day of the New Newton's Nook Designs March Release!! Today we're showcasing the New "Lovable Laundry" Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set!! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Images and the New Dies and think you will too!! Let's take a Look at the FULL Sets, Sold Separately available Friday March 17th, 2017!!

SQUEAL!! How SWEET are those Images and that Die!!?? I LOVE LOVE LOVE the Stitching Detail!! I CAN'T WAIT to share what I've made!!

I wanted to make some SWEET Cupcake Treat Toppers, but these could be used for other types of Treats too!! You could use them to Wrap Large Suckers, or Bowls of Candy for a Candy Bar!! So MANY ways you could use these!! I Started by Die Cutting some Lawn Fawn Fancy Scalloped Circle Dies!! Then a Lawn Fawn Circle Die Cut from some Black Lawn Fawn Cardstock and then a MFT Tag Builder Blue Prints 4 Die Set to Die Cut the White Layer!! I turned it upside down because I thought it looked like a Baby Rattle that way and it was a Nice way to attached the Sucker Sticks to the Backs of the Toppers!! I Layered another Fancy Scalloped Circle on the back to cover up the Sucker Stick!! I wanted ALL of the Colors to match so I used my Alcohol Markers to Color the Fancy Scalloped Circles and then I added some Specturm Noir Glitter Pen over the Top for some Sparkle!! SQUEAL!! Makes me HAPPY!!  =) I Layered on the Onsie Imags after Stamping and Embossing them onto some Patterned Paper from Simple Stores!! I Paper Pieced the Duck Image and the Trim on the one and Paper Pieced the Giraffe/Heart Images on the other and then just Colored over the Patterned Paper Trim with my Markers on the other showing that you could do it either way if Fussy Cutting isn't your thing!! =) I also added the Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen over the Top of the Images and I LOVE how it makes them all look!! I also used my Alcohol Markers to Color the Seam Binding Ribbon and then used the Glitter Pen ontop of it too, just to keep everything the same and I WISH you could see how AWESOME and BEAUTIFUL they look in real life!! =)

I hope this gives you some FUN Ideas on different ways to use this FUN Set or even other Sets that you may have!!??  =)

Newton's Nook Designs March Release 2017 ~ Winston Takes Flight + Sky Borders Die Set!! =)

Pin It

 

HELLO!!
Happy Monday and Welcome to the first day of the New Newton's Nook Designs March Release!! Today we're showcasing the New "Winston Takes Flight" Stamp Set + Coordinating Die Set and the Sky Borders Die Set !! I LOVE LOVE LOVE these New Images and the New Die Sets and think you will too!! Let's take a Look at the FULL Sets, Sold Separately available Friday March 17th, 2017!!

I wanted to make a FUN Cloud Border from the "Sky Border Die Set" to surround the SWEET "Wintson Takes Flight Images"!! I Die Cut 3 of the Layers for the Top of my Card and 1 for the bottom of my Card!! I then took some Tumbled Distress Ink and some Faded Jeans Distress Ink and created the Sky background to my Card!! I wanted some shading around the Cloud Die Cuts so I marked with a Pencil where they ended and added the Faded Jeans alittle above the Line!! Then I Splattered some Water for some Texture and I LOVE the way it looks in real life!! I used Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers to Color in my Images and then I used some Tonic Studios Morning Dew Drops to add some Dimension and Shine to the Propeller, the Star Logo, the Steering Wheel and the Flying Goggles after I added some Spectrum Noir Glitter Pen over the top of those same parts!! I LOVE the way it turned out!! I used the Coordinating "Wintson Takes Flight" Dies to Die Cut the Images and Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment into the Banner that I also shaded with my Alcohol Markers for Dimension!! I used two layers of Foam Tape to POP up the Images onto the front of my Card!! SQUEAL!! I can just hear Winston's Plane ZOOMING BY to say "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"!!   =)
This card would make ANYONE SMILE!! =)
Don't you think!??
