Newton’s Nook – February Release Day 3

Welcome back everyone! Today is the final day of release reveals. Tomorrow you can hop with us for extra inspiration on Instagram and also hit the Newton’s Nook shop to grab your favorites too! But first…today’s reveal!

Hyacinth stamps and dies and Daisies dies

These new products are really sweet and fun to create with so I have 2 cards to share with you today! Let’s start with the fun Hyacinth image.

After creating so much pastel for this release it was really fun to go bold with these florals, and my favorite, get inky messy too! I started by stamping and coloring the image, then cut it out with the coordinating die. I already had a design in mind so I pulled out the Hexagon Frames dies and started cutting them from yellow cardstock.

Once the hexagons were cut out and arranged, I cut a piece of dark purple cardstock for my background. Then I spritzed the papers with distress oxide sprays for fun visual texture. I used Wilted Violet and Wild Honey on the respective cardstocks. Once the purple was dry, I distressed the edges before gluing it to a white card base.

I stamped my sentiment on one of the hexagons and then popped them all up with foam squares. Next, I added the hyacinth image the same and finished that off with glossy accents on all the stamen. Last, I wrapped some purple ribbon around the top and tied it in a knot.

Now, we move on to the fun new Daisies die set! I couldn’t just make one either, we needed a whole bouquet!

And with a bouquet, we needed somewhere to keep it. So I used the Jar hot foil plate on white cardstock and then inked it up with light teal ink. I splattered it with water for texture and used washi tape to adhere the daisy stems to the back to hold them in place.

Next, I pulled out the Frames & Tags die set and cut the largest one from pink cardstock. I splattered it with light pink ink and set it aside. Then, I cut one of the tags from the same die set from a purple distress cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment on it from the Hyacinth stamp set. I used a piece of sand paper to distress it a little and attached it to the jar with jute twine.

Before adhering all the layers together, I took my light teal ink pad directly to the white card base, dragging it along each side. It is a quick, fun way to add textured color to your cardstock. Next, I popped the pink panel up with foam tape. Then I glued the jar down with liquid glue and adhered the flowers with a combo of liquid glue or foam squares. Last, I went ahead and adhered the tag in place with a foam square so it wasn’t floating freely.
