Newton’s Nook – November Release Day 3

It’s a bit of a smaller release this month so today is the final day of release reveals already! We have 2 more stamp and dies sets, plus a mini stamp to share too!

Snow Angel Newton stamps and dies

Snow Angel Puppy stamps and dies

Roll With It stamps

I had so much fun with these sets that I have 2 interactive cards to share with you today. First I have another slimline card featuring both snow angel sets because they are just too perfect together!

To create this card I stamped and colored both images with copic markers. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and adhered action wobblers to the back of them.

I die cut a light blue panel with the scalloped rectangle from Slimline Frames & Portholes and inked it up with white ink and the Snowfall stencil. Then I flicked pearl watercolor all over it for a magical feel. Next, I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Snowfall Roundabout on a banner from the Banner Trio dies. I used foam tape to add the background panel to a white card base and foam squares for the banner. Finally, I removed the release paper on the action wobblers and added the sweet Newton and Puppy!

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the noses, toe beans and scarves and then unicorn Stickles to the pompoms on their hats.

They are so fun and the wobble totally makes them look like they’re making angels in the snow! It’s absolutely adorable!

Next, I have a slider card to share because…we’ve got to roll with it. Am I right?!?

For this card, I stamped the full image in the set and colored parts with my copic makers. Then I cut it out with a flag from Frames & Flags. I went ahead and stamped just the snowman head a few more times and colored those as well. Then I fussy cut them out and switched to creating my background and slider mechanism.

The background panel is inked with evergreen bough and mermaid lagoon distress oxide inks and spritzed with water. It’s popped up on a white card base with foam tape. Then I cut a rounded rectangle from the same die set and inked it up with the Snowfall stencil again. I used a slider die to cut a channel and added foam tape to the back, being sure to leave room for the heads to roll from side to side.

I added the snowmen to the slider channel with discs and foam circles so they would roll and not just slide. Then I moved on to finishing touches for this hilarious card!

For that I added unicorn Stickles to the hat bands on all the hats and glossy accents on all the carrot noses. Last, I came in with more glossy accents on the the striped part of the word “roll.”

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Reverse Confetti | Warm Holiday Wishes

Hello everyone! I’m back with another entry into the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop! This time I’m playing with super sponsor Reverse Confetti stamps and dies, paired with some fun distress oxide ink blending and that fabulous messy watercolor splatter! You know I love getting inky and making a mess! It’s so fun!

I started my card by stamping out images from Polar Party and Coffee and You from Reverse Confetti and colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies from each set to cut the images out and played around with different design ideas. Once I decided what I was doing…(In reality this went from a double-sided ornament to a card.) I cut a white panel down to A2 size and inked it up with spun sugar and picked raspberry distress oxide inks. I spritzed the panel with water and flicked gold watercolor on it as well.

Next, I die cut the Ornament Confetti Cut from gold glitter paper and white cardstock. I adhered the frame layers together and put the gold circle cutout away for another day. I took the white circle and inked the center up with Lawn Fawn peacock ink and splattered it with gold watercolor too. I also cut a little white snowy hill for my critters with a Lawn Fawn Stitched Hillside Border.

Moving on to assembly…I adhered the inked panel to a white card base and then added the snowy hill to the bottom of that. I adhered the ornament frame and inset circle above the snowy hill and then started adding my images. The ones in the ornament and adhered directly to the card front with liquid glue and the ones on the hill are popped up with foam squares.

Last, I stamped a sentiment from Polar Party and cut it out with a Pink & Main Large Sentiment Strip die and popped it up with foam squares too.

Moving on to finishing touches, I added glossy accents to all of the lights, beaks, noses and feet. Then I added black glaze pen to the critter’s eyes and some unicorn Stickles to the stars, hat pompom and ribbon on the package.

I’m so happy with how this card turned out! It’s so fun and happy! It will be perfect to share for the Christmas season!

Newton’s Nook – November Release Day 2

Welcome to day 2 of the Newton’s Nook November release reveals! Today we have a stamp and die set, plus an extra coordinating die set too!

All Booked Up stamps and dies

Bookmark die set

Aren’t these absolutely fantastic!?! The total die hard book lover in me is ridiculously excited for all of the possibilities these sets bring with them! I have a couple of projects to share with you today. Let’s start with this fun card using All Booked Up and the new paper pad from yesterday!

I cut some pieces of the paper pad and adhered them to a white card base. I thought the transition was abrupt so I cut a thin strip of another pattern and adhered it with a foam strip. Then I stamped and heat embossed the puppy image and a sentiment in white on dark gray cardstock. I used the coordinating die for the puppy and a flag from the Frames & Flags die set. I added them with foam squares. I just love the fun chalkboard feel these have!

But #1 I couldn’t just use the puppy image, and #2 I couldn’t ignore that fantastic new bookmark die set! So I have another fun card to share with you!

I stamped and coloring the kitty image with my copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut it out. Then I cut a teal bookmark and inked it up with the Argyle stencil set. I added the kitty image with liquid glue and thought it would be great to add the “paws here” sentiment from the bookmark die set to the bottom. Then I threaded some ribbon through the hole and tied it with baker’s twine.

For my card base, I inked it up with tattered rose, dried marigold and a bit of spiced marmalade distsress oxide ink. I spritzed it with water and adhered it to a slimline card base. Then I cut the paw print from the bookmark die set a bunch of times and adhered them randomly all over the panel. After they were dry, I trimmed the excess off the edge and adhered my bookmark with removable adhesive.

This is really fun but I thought it would be even better if there was another message underneath for the recipient to fun when they remove the bookmark. So I stamped and heat embossed one on a heart from the Heart Frames die set and adhered it in the center of the card.

Would you like to win the “All Booked Up” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Newton’s Nook – November Release Day 1

Hey friends! It’s that time again…reveals for another amazing Newton’s Nook release!!! Today we’re starting with a fantastic stamp and die set along with another paper pad! I’m so excited they are continuing with these amazing paper pads because they are addicting! Let’s take a look!

Coffee House Stories Paper Pad

Time for Coffee stamps and dies

I’m so excited for all of the new caffeinated options these products bring to us! They are fabulous and I had a hard time choosing which ones to use today. So I stamped out a handful and ended up with a fun slimline card to share with you.

I colored all of the images with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Pulling from the colors I used in the images I die cut the Slimline Frames and Windows frame die from a peach cardstock. Then I inked up a slimline panel with distress oxides in cracked pistachio and mermaid lagoon. Then I spritzed the panel with water and flicked some watered down mermaid lagoon around the edge. For a little shimmer, I also splattered pearl watercolor around it.

I wanted something different for the background of the windows so I immediately went flipping through the new paper pad. Aren’t these neutral hearts just the sweetest?!? I love them! So I cut 3 windows with that paper and started assembling everything.

The inked panel is adhered to a card base with liquid glue and the frame is popped up with foam strips. Then I used the same liquid glue to adhere the heart panels inside the window openings. Next, I used foam squares to adhere all of my images in the top and bottom windows.

I die cut a label from the Slimline Frames & Windows die set and stamped a sentiment on it before popping it up in the center window. Then I added one more small coffee cup to that window as well.

For finishing touches I went back and stamped some steam images and die cut them, popping them up above a few of the different coffee cups in the design. Then I added glossy accents to various parts of the images like polka dots on mugs, the bead on the pour over carafe and the heart on the to-go cup.

Would you like to win the “Time for Coffee” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Lawn Fawn Kitty Boxes

Hi there! I’m back today with a fun project for the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop! Instead of a card today, I have a set of treat boxes that I made with my all-time favorite die set – the Lawn Fawn Tiny Gift Box! This box is fun to decorate on its own but when you add the mountains of add-on die sets Lawn Fawn has created, give me all the things and let me make boxes for decades!!! Seriously, I love it all! So today I have a set of kitties to share with you.

Aren’t these just the most adorable things you’ve ever seen?!? I know you agree! Here’s a link to the Lawn Fawn video on how to create the boxes with the cat add on options. I won’t bore you with those details.

After creating my kitty boxes, I went digging for a coffee mug for them to hold. I found the one in the Den Sweet Den set and it is absolutely PERFECT for this! I stamped and colored 3 of them, used the coordinating dies to cut them out and slid them in the kitty’s paws for each box.

Filling for these boxes today is a folded up Starbucks Via packet and chocolate covered espresso beans! YUM!!! Super excited to share these and also can’t wait to create more with the other critter add ons too!

Products used today:
Lawn Fawn Tiny Gift Box dies
Lawn Fawn Tiny Gift Box Cat Add On dies
Lawn Fawn Den Sweet Den stamps and dies
Copic markers
Tombow Mono Multi liquid adhesive
Scrappy tape – 1/4 inch

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

Pink & Main – Warm Wishes

Hi again! I’m over on the Pink & Main blog today, celebrating the start of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers hop, which they are also a sponsor of! I created a fun Christmas card and wanted to share it with you here too!

I started by stamping the image from Holiday Mugs and colored it with my copic markers. Then I used the coordinating die to cut it out. This set also has a die for the sentiment so I stamped and cut it out too. Then I cut 3 wreaths using the Wreath Base die set – 2 from green cardstock and one from vellum.

For my background, I sifted through my amazing stash of Pink & Main patterned paper and landed on this cocoa colored dotted paper from the Pumpkin Season stack. I cut it out with the largest layered rectangle die and adhered it to a white card base with my EZ Squeeze liquid glue. Then I used the same glue to adhere the wreath layers together and down to the card base. For a little extra texture I flicked black acrylic paint across the design before popping the image and sentiment up with foam squares.

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the center of the poinsettia and some of the foliage. Then I stuck down a scattering of the red dots from the Rainbow Glitter enamel dots pack.

Are you playing along with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop? I hope so! It’s so much fun and there are lots of prizes to win!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Fall | Winter Hop Inspiration

Hey friends! I’m back again kicking off some great card inspiration for you as part of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Design Team. I’m starting the hop off with Super Sponsor Pawesome Stamps! Their artwork is beyond words adorable and so fun to create with!

Today I chose some images from Coffee Besties, inked them up and colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and switched gears to my background.

It’s been a minute since I played with alcohol inks so I did a little panel with deception and mineral alcohol pearl inks on yupo paper. After it was dry, I trimmed my panel down and adhered it to a white card base. I popped up a black strip of cardstock with a foam strip and then added my images with foam squares too.

Finally, I put the whole thing in my MISTI and stamped a sentiment in the top left white space. For finishing touches I added peppermint clay embellishments around the coffee beans and in the whipped cream. Then I added glossy accents to the kitty’s glasses, nose, dots on the cup and stripes on the straw.

I love how versatile stamps can be when you think outside the box. Nothing about this card says Christmas except the colors I chose for the mugs and the peppermint candies. I’m hoping to add a little coffee gift card to the inside of this and mail it to a friend for Christmas.

Miss Ink Stamps – Frosty Hellos

Hello again! This wee sure is chugging along quickly! I have another fun Miss Ink Stamps card to share with you but today I’m going for more of a winter feel with one of my favorite sets – Say Cheese! These mice and their sidekicks are too cute for words and so fun to create with!

Today I inked up the penguin and the mouse with the coordinating penguin hat and colored them with copic markers. I used the scan-n-cut to cut them out and adhered them together. Then I took a dark blue cardstock panel and spread Thermoweb iridescent glitz glitter gel through the frosty flakes stencil.

While that was drying, I went digging for a different sentiment and found just the perfect one in the snow buddies set. I stamped it in dark blue and cut it out with a Pink & Main large sentiment strip die. Next, I decided it would be fun to put a snowflake behind my images instead of a simple circle or something. I cut the Trinity Stamps big snowflake cut and foil dies from light blue cardstock and iridescent vellum and adhered the layers together with liquid glue. Next, I popped the mouse and penguin up with foam squares and also added some to the back of the sentiment strip too.

Once the stenciled panel was dry, I popped it up on a white card base with foam tape. Next, I added the snowflake with liquid glue and added the sentiment strip below that.

For finishing touches I went over all the eyes with black glaze pen, let it dry and added white gel pen highlights back in. Then I finished things off with glossy accents on the hat pompoms, mouse nose and penguin beak.

Trinity Stamps – Ribbon Twirl Tree Stencil

Welcome again crafty friends! Today I’m over on the Trinity Stamps blog sharing another version of the ribbon twirl tree stencil. These new layering stencils from Trinity are fabulous, so easy to use and come out stunning in a million different combinations!

I started today by inking up the ribbon twirl tree stencil with green dye ink and my blending buddy brush. Then I used my scissors and cut it out. I really wanted a fun star for my tree so I used the star die from We Wish You a Merry Christmas die set and cut it from gold glitter cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere it.

For the background, I cut a piece of teal cardstock and inked the edges with peacock feathers distress oxide ink. Then I flicked some watered down ink across the design and also black acrylic paint. After it was dry I adhered it to a white card base and popped my tree up with foam tape. Next, I glued some peppermint candy clay embellishments on the tree with liquid glue.

To finish my card off, I die cut the Scripty Christmas layers from vellum and red cardstock and used liquid glue to adhere them together and to my card front.

Isn’t this card just so festive?!? I love it!
