Hello everyone! I hope you enjoyed Newton’s Nook reveal week and have hopped over to buy some new goodies for your stash since everything is on sale today!

I was having so much fun creating, my husband came to check on me one night and had a hilarious idea. I couldn’t resist creating it and wanted to share it with you today.

We both loved the G.O.A.T. sentiment and he thought the goat really needed to go in the tractor’s trailer. I told him the proportions were off and when I showed him to prove my point we both cracked up so much that I just had to do it.

To create my card, I stamped, colored and die cut my images from Bleat and Farming Fun and set them aside. I pulled out the Framework dies and Sunscape stencil again and inked it up. This time after I inked the dirt and yellow part of the sun, I rotated the stencil and used it like a mask to add a little blue sky too.

There are a few layers to this card. I started with a white cardbase and glued a brown panel directly to it measuring 4 1/8×5 3/8. Then the green panel is popped up with foam tape and measures 4×5.25 which is the same size as the framework stenciled panel. That is also popped up with foam tape. Finally the images were glued together with liquid glue and popped up with foam squares.

Finally I die cut a flag from Frames and Flags and heat embossed the first half of my sentiment on it in white. This is popped up with foam squares. The second half of the sentiment is stamped inside the card.

Last I moved on to finishing touches which were pretty simple. I added black glaze pen to the eyes and white gel pen accents throughout. Then I finished it off with glossy accents on all the shiny parts of the tractor and trailer, along with the goat’s bell and horns.

Cheers to being silly with your spouse and ending up with a fabulous card as the outcome. I hope you enjoyed the week and are able to pick up some new goodies to play with.

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

I hope you’ve enjoyed all the previews so far. Today we have two last ones to share with you before everything goes on sale for you to purchase first thing tomorrow! A Newton’s Nook release wouldn’t be complete without a new Newton image, so we’ve got that covered, and then we have another great floral image to add to that collection too.

Porch Swing Friends

Roses

First up I wanted to share the card I made with Porch Swing Friends. I just think it’s so sweet and it makes me wish I had a big porch with a swing like this to relax on.

Given the shape of the image I knew right away I wanted to make a square card so I pulled out my Frames Squared dies and cut some layers out. The scalloped panel is inked with the Clouds stencil and each of the layers are popped up with foam tape. I stamped, colored and die cut my image and then used my MISTI to stamp my sentiment. For finishing touches I added white gel pen accents and glossy accents to their noses. This scene is so sweet and relaxing, I just love it! And that sentiment…remember it from earlier in the week? I used it on one of my Bleat cards on Tuesday. It’s so great and versatile to use all the time.

Next up I am excited to share this beautiful card featuring the new Roses stamps and dies.

I started by actually coloring three roses and die cutting them all. I had an idea of filling the fence line with them but it cluttered up too much and I wanted you to see the cool mountains in the background. So now I have two extra roses to make other fun cards with. Bonus!

I used the Frames and Flags dies along with the Fence die, Land Borders dies and Mountains stencil to create my scene. After I inked up my stenciled panel I used texture paste on the mountains and set it aside to dry. I thought the yellow panel was a little plain so I added some Petite Flowers stenciled in yellow ink for a subtle texture. You know my by now, the layers are adhered with foam tape for that great dimension and the scene is all attached with liquid glue. I really find that this helps with the inked panels. It just sticks better.

I wanted to keep the sentiment simple so I just used the Hello stamp on a die cut banner from the Banner Trio dies and inked it with the same blue in the sky for consistency.

I live in the Pacific Northwest and I really feel like this card is home. The mountains and roses with lush green grass everywhere. It’s super comforting and just makes me happy.

And the fun just keeps coming!!! Aren’t you just loving everything so far? We really are! Keeping with this fun farm-ish theme, today we get to share this fabulous set called Neigh with you. Bet you can’t guess what’s in it? haha! Bad jokes aside, these horses are adorable! Check them out.

Neigh

Another great set to create with. For today’s card I paired them with both the new Slimline Frames and Portholes (for the scalloped panel) with the Slimline Frames and Windows.

Honestly, I wasn’t totally sure about design for this card so I simply started by stamping and coloring my images with copics. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and started playing around. In the end I used the Plaid stencil on the white window cutouts with dark blue and green inks. I cut the scalloped panel from Slimline Frames and Portholes out of dark green and then cut the frame from Slimline Windows and Frames 2 more times from white and once from dark blue. I adhered all of the frames together for a stacked dimension and glued it to the green scalloped panel. Then I inserted the stenciled windows and popped the whole panel up with foam tape on a white cardbase measuring 3.5×8.5.

I die cut the flag banner from the same green cardstock and heat embossed my sentiment in white. This is popped up with foam squares. The horseshoes underneath are glued directly down. Then each of the horses is popped up with foam squares in the windows below.

For finishing touches I added black glaze pen to the eyes and white gel pen accents throughout. The horseshoes all have glossy accents for a little shine and this card is all finished.
