Newton’s Nook – June Release Day 1

Welcome friends! It’s the start of an amazing release week from Newton’s Nook! We’re excited and having so much fun creating with all of these new products. Today’s reveals are buzzing with fun!

Honeycomb Hot Foil Plates

Hexagon Frames Dies

Heartfelt Honeycomb Stamps and Dies

With all of these fun new reveals, I have two cards to share with you today. My first one focuses solely on the new Heartfelt Honeycomb stamps and dies. Which I had a blast creating with!

I pulled out my distress oxide inks in a variety of yellow/gold colors and blended a whole panel. Then I spritzed the panel with water, blotted it dry and splattered it with white and black paint, leaving it to dry while I stamped and colored some bees.

I die cut all of the elements and used liquid glue to adhere the dripping honey, and foam squares for the different bees. Then I die cut a banner from the Banner Trio set and heat embossed a sentiment on it, using liquid glue to adhere it hanging off the right side.

For my background panel I inked it using the Clouds stencil and splattered it with teal ink after the stenciling was done.

I trimmed the stenciled panel down to 3.75×5 inches and glued it on a piece of yellow cardstock measuring 4×5.25 inches. I popped the panel up on a white card base and then popped the honeycomb heart and sentiment strip up on it with foam tape.

For finishing touches on this card I added stardust Stickles to the bees wings.

Isn’t this card dripping with sweetness? I love it! How we switch gears to the new Honeycomb hot foil plates and Hexagon Frames dies. These are solid winners and this card was one of my favorites of the release!

To start, I hot foiled the honeycomb image and bees with a shattered gold hot foil from Thermoweb. I used the coordinating dies to cut the bees and different sizes from the Hexagon Frames to cut the honeycomb. I added a few other yellow cardstocks from my stash and kept cutting different sizes of hexagons.

I ink blended a panel cut from the largest Frames & Flags dies with pine needles and cracked pistachio distress oxide inks. After ink blending, I spritzed it with water and flicked gold watercolor all over it.

While the watercolor was drying, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on another banner from the Banner Trio die set.

Before adhering all my layers together, I did simple copic coloring on the bees. Then I added everything to the inked panel with a combination of liquid glue and foam squares. Once that was complete, I added the whole panel to a white card base.
