Newton’s Nook – Birthday Release Day 1

Card tutorial 2 Minutes

Welcome, welcome everyone! It’s the first day of release reveals for an absolutely incredible birthday release with Newton’s Nook! They are turning 9 years old and this birthday release takes the cake! Let’s get started looking at what we have today.

Birthday Party Paper Pad

Bokeh Balloons stencils

Birthday Mice stamps and dies

I have a really fun card to share with you today featuring the new paper pad and one of the absolutely Birthday Mice images. Don’t worry, I’ll have so much more to share through the week along with the rest of the team.

As soon as I saw this set, I knew I had to create a giant cheese to go with these fun mice! So I immediately started my card today with that. I used dies from Frames & Flags, Frames Squared and Circle Frames to create a two-layer cheese look. I inked the edges of the yellow cardstock for extra dimension and flicked yellow ink and white paint on the panel too. I love the texture it gives!

I chose a piece of paper from the Birthday Party paper pad and used it as a guide to color the images I stamped out from the set. Once they were colored, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I trimmed the plaid paper to A2 size and adhered it to a white card base and added my cheese panel with foam tape. Then I added the images with foam squares too. You all know I like my dimension!

Next, I cut two banners from Frames & Flags die set – the red flag is from the Birthday Party paper pad. Then I stamped the sentiment on the white one and glued them together. I added them to the top left with a combination of foam squares and liquid glue.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to some parts of the images and a little unicorn Stickles to others. I love the combo of shimmer and shine between the two.

  19. Adore your “cheese” and these mice are absolutely adorable! I think the way you coordinated party hat and gift colors with the GORGEOUS plaid background paper is superb! I’m not super-familiar w/ NN products and would love to win so that I can become better acquainted w/ this terrific company.
