Hi friends! This is day 2 of the Newton’s Nook April Release reveal week. Today we have two stamp and coordinating die sets to share with you and I just love them both! Must haves for your stash, for sure!

Destination Love stamps and dies

Lilacs stamps and dies

I’m not a floral person most of the time but I love this new lilac image and really enjoyed coloring it.

For this card, I colored the images in the set and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I set them aside to work on my background…aka, making a fabulous crafty mess. I inked up a panel with distress oxide ink in salty ocean and tumbled glass. Then spritzed it with water and flicked watered down salty ocean ink on the panel. Once it was dry, I spread Thermoweb transfer gel blanco through the Cloudy Sky stencil and let it dry.

While that was drying, I die cut a fence from white cardstock and inked up a panel with distress oxide in mowed lawn and twisted citron to cut some grass from.

Once the sky was dry, I ran it through the laminator with white latte deco foil flock for some adorable fuzzy clouds! Then I cut all the layers with the largest Frames & Flags die and adhered the layers together with foam tape.

For the sentiment, I cut a small banner from the A7 Frames die set and popped it up with foam squares too. Then for finishing touches I added glossy accents to the flower centers on the lilac and the body of the butterfly. I adhered the panel to a yellow card base for a little extra splash of color too.

Now, for that adorable Destination Love set, I just had to make a sweet wedding card. Although there are sentiments for lots of love occasions to choose from.

This time I inked up the Cloudy Sky stencil with light teal ink on a white panel and cut it from the largest Framework die. Then I cut the largest scalloped heart from kraft cardstock and inked it up with the Tree Rings stencil.

I stamped and colored images from Destination Love with my copic markers. Then, I cut them out with the coordinating dies and adhered the different elements to the car. I added foam squares to the back and played with final arrangement. until I liked it.

With this placement of things I thought it was perfect to heat emboss the sentiment directly to the heart. So I did that and then blued it down to the sky background. I added the images and then popped the panel up on some melon cardstock with foam tape. I thought this cardstock coordinated well with the color of the car.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all of the hearts and the hat band, then I added unicorn Stickles to the veil.

Hey friends! I’m over on the Newton’s Nook blog today with a trio of cards featuring the sweet mini images from Newton Makes Plans. I absolutely adore this set and was so happy to finally ink it up.

I had a design in mind but when it came time to choose, I couldn’t choose just three images so I ended up with nine and made three cards to share today.

The design is the same for all of the cards. I chose a trio of images from Newton Makes Plans, that kind of told a mini story to me. I chose a stencil that went with that story and paired them together. I chose a background color of cardstock to cut from the largest Framework stencil and did tone-on-tone inking for the stencils. This card has the music stencil with a trio of Newton’s that must be world travelers.

I cut the smallest circle from Frames Squared three times for each card out of white cardstock and inked them up wtih the same ink used on the stenciling. There is a 1/4″ strip of white cardstock adhered to each stenciled panel and then the circles and images are each popped up with foam squares.

They guys are all ready for a party of some degree so I used the fun confetti stencil for this background. I tend to gravitate toward the sentiments in all of the Heartfelt and Roundabout stamp sets because they are so perfect for a huge variety of occasions. These all came from Heartfelt Meows which work perfect with all of those cute Newtons.

The finishing touches on each card are also different. Most have some sort of glossy accents or Stickles on the center image because they happened to fit perfectly. Each of the Newton noses has a little dot of glossy accents as well. Then I did add white gel pen highlights to the other images for fun.

Aren’t these guys just the cutest? Everyone enjoying their different hobbies! The background for this card uses the petite paw prints stencil to round out that adorable kitty feel. I just love the glossy accents on his glasses in the center of this one.

Well, there’s a little description and look at each of the cards I had to share today. I hope you enjoyed them!
