Newton’s Nook Designs January Release – Day 3

Card tutorial 2 Minutes

Welcome to day 3 of the Newton’s Nook January release. So much cuteness to share with you today in these adorable Puppy Playtime stamps and dies. I can’t get enough of them. So much that I made two cards to share with you!

Puppy Playtime Stamps and Dies

Today’s first card is really simple to come together but adorable and fun for Valentine’s Day, which will be here before we know it!

To make this cute card, I used the new bokeh hearts stencil set with light and dark pink inks on a pink panel and die cut it from the largest of the Frameworks die set. Then I used the sea borders die set to cut a ground from kraft cardstock. I stamped, colored and die cut my pup and a couple of bones and popped them up with foam squares.

Then I stamped my sentiment on a speech bubble from that die set, added a cute red gel pen outline and popped it up as well. Next, I added white gel pen accents and black glaze pen to the puppy’s eyes. I finished this card off with some glossy accents to the scarf and bones and popped the panel on a white card base for a little contrast.

For this next card, I wanted to show how these puppies are also fabulous for non-Valentine cards too! So I made a bright, fun birthday card with them!

I die cut the next-to-smallest Framework die four times and inked each with a color and popped them up with foam tape. Then I stamped, colored and die cut different puppies and some accessories and popped them up as well. I die cut the smallest shape from the Frameworks set, ink blended it and then stamp and heat embossed my sentiment. This panel is popped up on top of the other panels so it doesn’t get lost.

For finishing touches I added white gel pen accents, black glaze pen to the eyes and glossy accents to the accessories on all the puppies. A perfect birthday card for the dog lover in your life!
