Newton’s Nook – All Die Cut Cards, When It’s too Hot to Color

Hello everyone! I’m over on the Newton’s Nook blog today with a fun, book-themed card that’s all die cuts with one stamped sentiment. I recognize that it’s summer and hot and not everyone has air conditioning. If you color with materials like copic markers that are pressurized, it makes it difficult to accomplish anything when the temperatures rise.

I’m in that boat right now as our air conditioner is out so I pulled out some fun die cuts to play around with and love how it turned out.

The books I used are from the Bookmark II die set and the flowers are from the Daisies die set. I cut from colored cardstock and used copics to add little accents to the book spines, just coloring the inserts a shade or two darker so they stood out.

I cut a piece of white cardstock down to 3.5×4.75 and ink blended a section a couple inches up from the bottom. Then I glued a piece of rose gold foil cardstock to the seam and used the same apricot ink to stamp my sentiment that I ink blended with.

I used liquid glue to adhere all the die cut elements and finished the design off with some glossy accents on the flower centers. Then I popped the panel up on a white card base with foam tape and my card is all finished.
