Newton’s Nook – April Release Day 3

Oh my, we’re already up to day 3 of the Newton’s Nook April Release reveals! Today there is just one, SUPER FUN stamp and coordinating die to share.

Dad’s BBQ stamps and dies

Isn’t is fantastic!!! And it’s going to play so well with the BBQ Roundabout from last year! I didn’t combine them today, but that is definitely on my list of things to try.

Today, I chose a bunch of images from Dad’s BBQ, stamped them and then colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and added foam squares to the back of everything.

I found an oval in the new Oval Frames die set that fit the sentiment perfectly, so I stamped and cut it out. Then I cut the next largest oval from black cardstock and layered them together, adding foam to the back of the black layer.

Next, I inked up a teal panel with the Gingham stencil and trimmed it down to 3 3/4×5 1/2 inches and framed the edges with black strips of cardstock.

I added the panel to a white card base with foam tape, placed the sentiment in the center and then added my images in a diagonal fashion from the upper left down to the lower right.

For finishing touches, I added white gel pen highlights to all of the images. I contemplated glossy accents or some bling but this is meant to be a masculine card for me to give so I kept it to a minimum.
