Newton’s Nook – June Release Day 1

Who’s ready for a whole week of amazing Newton’s Nook reveals??? I totally am! This release is my favorite so far…EVER!!!! It’s packed full of such amazing summer goodies. I know you’re going to love it all! Today we have three new things to share with you so let’s get started!

Fireworks Stencil

Newton’s 4th of July

Buns Out

OH! MY CUTENESS!!! Am I right?!? Yeah, I know I’m right! I have two really fun cards to share with you today using all of these products.

For this awesome 4th of July card, I started by stamping and coloring images from Newton’s 4th of July and then used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I die cut a scalloped rectangle from Frames & Flags dies and taped it to the new Fireworks stencil. I carefully smeared glitz gel in brilliant blue and red velvet in various spots trying for a multicolored fireworks look. I set the panel aside to dry while I did a little more die cutting of the ground and fence.

I left the fence white and ink blended the grass panel with twisted citron and mowed lawn distress oxide inks. Then I spritzed it with water and flicked some watered down mowed lawn ink too.

For assembly, I cut down a piece of red cardstock to A2 size and adhered it to a white card base. Then I used foam tape to pop up the fireworks panel and liquid glue to adhere the ground and fence. Last, I added foam squares to the back of my images and popped them in place.

Finally, I die cut a stitched flag from Frames & Flags and stamped my sentiment. I used copics to do simple coloring on the open letters, trimmed the flag down and adhered it to my scene with foam squares.

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to various spots on my images like the stars and dots and, of course, noses. Then I added little dots of bright gold Nuvo Crystal Drops to the center of Newton’s sparklers on the left image.

I really love creating 4th of July crafts of all kinds so this card brought me a bit of extra joy. I can’t wait to make new decorations for my house for the 4th this year too!

Next, we have a card featuring the super silly and awesome Buns Out stamps and die.

I stamped and colored this adorable image with my copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next, I die cut the Fancy Edges Tag from yellow and orange cardstocks. Then I inked up the yellow one with the Sunscape stencil. I die cut the hole reinforcer from black and strung the tags together with baker’s twine.

Next, I die cut the rounded rectangle from Frames & Flags dies from blue cardstock and inked up the edges with a slightly darker blue ink for some depth. Then for my background panel, I inked up an orange piece of cardstock with spiced marmalade distress oxide and spritzed it with water. Then I came back and flicked some watered down black acrylic paint on the panel too.

Last, I die cut a stitched flag from Frames & Flags and stamped my sentiment on the right side of it. Then I moved on to assembling my card layers.

I started by adhered the orange panel to a white card base with liquid glue. Then I popped the blue panel up with foam tape. I adhered the tags with liquid glue and then the banner to that the same way. Finally, I popped up my cheeseburger (Oh my cuteness!) with foam squares.

Isn’t this just too cute?!? Cracks me up every time!
