Thinking of You with Newton's Nook Designs!!

Hello Crafty Friends!! 


I'm up on the Newton's Nook Blog today sharing this BEAUTIFUL Thinking of You Card using the NEW Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set!! SWOON!! I LOVE all of the different ways you can use this Set and I hope this INSPIRES you to create some Emboss Resist with WoW Sparkles for your next Project!! 
I Started by Stamping and Embossing the Cherry Blossoms Image onto a Card Panel that was Die Cut using the NEW Basic Frames Die Set from White Cardstock using WoW Clear Embossing Ink and then Embossing with WoW Opaque Bright White Embossing Powder!! Then I used Distress Oxide Inks in Kitsch Flamingo, Rustic Wilderness & Gathered Twigs and Inked over the Embossed Images!! I Added some Water Splatters and then used a Dry Cloth and rubbed over the Embossed Image to remove any excess Ink sitting on top of the Embossing Powder!!

Next I used a Quickie Glue Pen and added some to the Petals of the Cherry Blossoms then poured some of the WoW Sparkle Glitter in Crystal!! SWOON!! I LOVE the Iridescent Sparkle it adds to the Images!! Next, she cut out a scallop edged frame using our Frames & Flags Die Set with the pink gingham patterned paper from our Pastel Basics Paper Pad!! This pretty pink paper coordinates perfectly with the image and she layered it behind to frame it!! I Stamped and Embossed the Sentiment from the NEW Floral Delights Stamp Set with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and Embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I adhered the Sentiment to the Card Panel using Foam Tape and then I finished off the designs by adding some Trinity Stamps Fairy Rock Rhinestones for even more Iridescent Sparkle!! I LOVE how this Card turned out and I think it would be FUN to create this Design in Different Colors creating a Thoughtful Gift Set to give as a Gift for someone Special!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today I hope I've INSPIRED you on ways to create with the NEW Products!!
I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Thinking of You Card w/ Newton's Nook Designs!!

HELLO CRAFTY FRIENDS!! 

I'm up on the Newton's Nook Design Blog today sharing this BEAUTIFUL Thinking of You Card showcasing the Hummingbird Stamp Set!! SWOON!! I just LOVE the Images in this Set and there are SO many ways to use them!! 

Here's a look at the Hummingbird Stamp Set just in case its NEW to you!!??

I Started by Stamping and Embossing my Images and coloring them with Copic Markers!! I used Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder!! I used Copic Markers to color the Images!! I've used NEW to me Copic Marker Colors!! I'm trying to step out of my Normal Color Combos and experiment with some NEW Combos!! It was FUN to see how they came together and I really like the Combo!! (Flowers: BV000, BV00, BV02 & BV08  Y00 & Y13   Hummingbird: YG00, YG11, YG17 & YG99  RV00, RV02, RV06 & RV09   E40 & E81)

After Coloring I Die Cut them out using the coordinating Hummingbird Die Set!! I added some White and Black Gel Pen details to add some highlights!!  

Next I created my Circle Focal Point using the Circle Frames Die Set!! I Die Cut some TE Cookie Monster Cardstock using the Scalloped Circle and a White Stitched Circle!! I Inked using some TE Cookie Monster Ink and then I Stamped and Embossed the sentiment "Thinking of you" from the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set three times around the circle edge!!  Although the sentiment comes as a straight Stamp, you can easily create a curve with it onto your stamping block or your MISTI Stamping Tool!! I like to create a Panel that I Die Cut my Circle from and then I add the Panel inside of my MISTI Stamping Tool and then I add the Circle to the Die Cut opening that it was Die Cut from after I apply some removable adhesive to the base of the MISTI so that the Circle will stay in place while I'm Stamping!! I align the Sentiment where I want it and then pick it up with the MISTI!! Just another AWESOME  thing about photopolymer stamps!!

 After Heat Embossing I added some Rose Quarts Glitter Pen Splatters for some Sparkle and Shine!! The Rose Iridescent Glimmer really adds to the Design!! Plus, who doesn't like some Sparkle!!?? 😍

For the Card Panel background I added a subtle pattern of flowers using the large image from the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set!! I Stamped with some TE Sea Salt!! I LOVE this Ink not only for Subtle Stamping, but it also Stamps really well on Colored Cardstock for a BEAUTIFUL Tone-on-Tone look!! Then I added some Black Soot Distress Paint Splatter and some Nuvo Rose Quartz Shimmer Splatters!! Then I finished off the design with some Studio Katia Pearls!! They have a BEAUTIFUL Iridescent finish on them and it really coordinates with the Rose Quarts Splatters!! I created a FUN coordinating Envelope too!! I used a coordinating TE Cookie Monster Envelope so it matches the Card PERFECTLY and Stamped the Floral Roundabout Stamp Set using TE Sea Salt Ink!! Then I added some Rose Quartz Splatters to tie it all together!! I LOVE the way this Card and Envelope Set turned out!! 

I hope I've INSPIRED you today!!?? 
THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by and I hope you have a FABULOUS WEEKEND!!

Hello!!
Happy Sunday!!
Welcome to the Paper Sweeties February 2016 Release Countdown!!
I've used the New Thinking of You Stamp Set and the coordinating Thinking of You Sweet Cuts Die Set to create a Sweet Heartfelt Thinking of You Card!! I've also used the Vine Die from the  Pretty Posies Sweet Cuts Die Set to Die Cut some Vellum from and then I've Inked the Edges with some Ground Espresso Distress Ink for some Interest and aging!! I wanted a Smaller Layer for the Felt Flowers and found that the Small Flower Die from the Bundle of Joy Sweet Cuts Die Set was the PERFECT size!! SQUEAL!! I just LOVE when that happens!! =)

I Stamped and Embossed the Label onto White 120 Ibs. Cardstock with Lawn Fawn Deep Blue Ink!!  I wanted a mat so I just Traced around the outside of the Label Die onto some Gold Glitter Cardstock and then Fussy Cut it out!! I wanted to create a Sweet Felt Floral Arrangement at the Bottom of the Label Die Cut and then I added the Felt Flowers and Leaves that I Inked using some Ground Espresso Distress Ink!! I layered the Vellum Leaves and some Gold Thread then added Flower Sequins to the Centers of each Flower!! A Few Pretty Pink Posh Sequins Scattered across the Card Front and my Card was done!! =) I hope you Feel Inspired!!??
Now go and see what the res of the AMAZING DT has create for you today!!
