Welcome friends! We’re already to day 3 of the release reveals for Newton’s Nook May release! I hope you’re loving it all and excited for more!!! Today we have more stamps, dies and stencils to share. Yay!

Birdhouse Greetings stamps and dies

Birdhouse Line stencil

Although these stamps and the stencil would go AMAZING together for a fun card, I had immediate ideas that I wanted to try so I have two cards to share with you today.

This first one is so cute and came together really quick because the coloring is all the stencils. I just inked up the different layers of the Birdhouse Line stencil with a blending brush and dye inks. Then I placed the Petite Clouds stencil on the panel and selectively inks clouds in the sky.

Next, I cut some grass using gingham paper in the Spring Blooms paper pad and a fence using the Fence die. I adhered the layers together with liquid glue and used the largest Framework die to cut it all out. Last, I stamped my sentiment in the bottom corner and popped the whole thing up on a white card base with foam tape.

I chose to leave the inside of this card blank so I can choose what occasion I want to use it for later. I love having that flexibility sometimes.

Next, I stamped the images from Birdhouse Greetings and colored them with my copic markers. I made sure to stamp some extra birds and butterflies to fill in my scene. Then I used the coordinating die to cut them out.

For the background I inked a panel with light yellow ink, then placed the Raindrops stencil over top and used a blending brush with light pink ink for those. I cut a scrap of cardstock with the Land Borders die and inked it with green, then layered the grass stencil over top and added a layer of grass in the front to.

I adhered the layers together and used the largest die from Frames & Flags to cut it out. I added it to a white card base with foam tape and then added all my sweet images with foam squares. I was so pleased with the serene look of my card front that I decided it was okay to skip a sentiment on it.

But this time I wanted to have some punny fun and stamped sentiments on the inside, along with a little birdie hanging out.

One note, for finishing touches on the front of the card, I did add black glaze pen to birdie eyes, Touch of Gloss to their beaks and stardust Stickles to butterfly wings.

Hi again. It’s day 2 of release reveals for Newton’s Nook’s May Release. Today we’re back to fantastic stamps, dies and stencils to share with you! I personally had a blast creating today’s card and I hope you love it.

Succulent Garden stamps and dies

Trailing Leaves stencil

I created today’s card with one of those living walls in mind. The kind that are dirt and moss holding everything together with plants coming out of them. If you haven’t seen them, google it. It’s so cool!

I started my card by inking a piece of white cardstock with distress oxide inks in an ombre green. I chose mowed lawn, twisted citron and peeled paint to start. Then I added a little rustic wilderness to the top to darken it just a bit. I splattered it with water and blotted it dry before using the wavy die in the Sea Borders die set to cut it into strips.

I used washi tape to hold the strips back together and laid my stamps out to see how I wanted to fill it in. With an idea of how many of each thing I need to stamp, I started inking everything up. I used copic markers to color the images and the coordinating dies to cut them all out. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere my strips to a card front and stamped my sentiment in the lower right corner.

Finally, I added my images with liquid glue and foam squares, tucking some in the layers and placing others on top. Then I finished things off with Touch of Gloss on just the flower centers.

Welcome everyone! I’m very excited to be back at it with another amazing Newton’s Nook release! Today is the start of release reveals and it’s getting hot in here!!! That’s right…we’ve got HOT FOIL PLATES!!!!

 Fireflies Hot Foil Plates and Dies

Jar Hot Foil Plate & Die

Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates

Banner Duo Die Set

These products all play perfectly together but are fabulous to use on their own too! I created a fun card with the sweet fireflies and a foiled sentiment to share with you today.

I spent some time and hot foiled the fireflies all over a piece of black cardstock with gold shattered foil and then used a rounded rectangle die from Frames & Flags to cut it out. For a little contrast I foiled a sentiment on a white banner in silver.

Next, I took a piece of teal cardstock and inked the edge with peacock feathers distress oxide ink. I splattered it with water and blotted it dry for texture. Then I splattered the panel with gold watercolor and set it aside to dry before assembling my card.

Once it was dry, I adhered the panel to a white card base and popped up the firefly panel with foam tape. Then I popped the sentiment banner up with foam strips on that. Last of all I wrapped some twine around the top and tied it in a bow.

As we wind down an awesome reveal week, I hope you’re ready to shop! But first, let’s take a look at one more fun stamp and die set being added to the collection tomorrow.

Fabulous Fungus stamps and dies

These super fun mushrooms and even funnier sentiments are sure to give you a giggle. I certainly did! When I saw all of them I knew they needed a gnome to hang in the garden with them.

I chose the sweet image from Gnome Garden with the little guy sitting on a mushroom plus a bundle of different images from the new Fabulous Fungus set and colored everything with my copic markers. I used coordinating dies from both sets to cut everything out.

I die cut a white panel using the largest Frames & Flags die and combined it with the hills & grass stencil to give my panel some scenery. Using my images as a guide, I stamped a sentiment from Fabulous Fungus in the sky. Then I grabbed a cloud stamp from Newton’s Birthday Balloons and stamped some of those to fill the sky subtly.

I adhered the images with a combination of foam squares and liquid glue. Then I popped the scene panel up on a piece of flower patterned paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad. I adhered the whole thing to a white card base and added glossy accents around various parts of images for finishing touches.

Welcome back friends! For day 3 of the Newton’s Nook March release reveals we’re adding another gorgeous set to the oval card front series. I love these and always enjoy settling in to color them.

Spring Blooms Oval stamps (coordinates with Oval Frames dies)

For my card today, I stamped the image on watercolor paper in brown ink and used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to watercolor everything.

A small tip I find easier when using these dies with the oval or circle card front series, I cut the scalloped shape out and then stamp on that. Otherwise, I tend to stamp too close to the edge of my paper to allow for die cutting after.

To continue with the watercolor vibe, I inked up the new Quatrefoil stencil with dusty concord distress oxide ink and spritzed it with water. After blotting it dry I flicked watered down antique linen distress oxide ink on the panel for extra distressing.

I adhered the background panel to a card base and popped the image oval up with foam tape. Then I cut another, smaller oval in the same die set and stamped my sentiment on that. I watercolored a light blue edge before popping it up with foam squares as well.

Let’s keep things going with a fabulous day 2 of reveals for the Newton’s Nook March release! Today we have two stamp and die sets that are adorable together or on their own.

Newton’s Umbrella stamps and dies

Rainy Day Doxie stamps and dies

Like I said above, I think these images are really adorable and my first thought was that they would be too cute on a card together. So that’s what I did!

I stamped and colored both main images, plus the puddle and raindrops, and colored it all with my copic markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut it all out.

Next, I cut a slimline panel to ink up for my background. Today I chose tumbled glass and salvaged patina distress oxide inks. I spritzed the background with water and blotted it dry before flicking pearl watercolor all over the panel.

While that was drying, I cut a 3.5×8.5 strip of yellow cardstock to adhere to my slimline card base. Then, I stamped my sentiment on the background panel and popped it up on the card base with foam tape.

I added the puddle with liquid glue and popped all the other images up with foam squares. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to all things water, plus critter noses and toe beans, and parts of the umbrellas.

I can’t believe it’s already the final day of release reveals for the Newton’ Nook January Release! I hope you have loved everything as much as we do and are excited for today’s inspiration and tomorrow’s fantastic shopping day!

Never Enough Cats stamps and dies

Just like Monday and Tuesday, yesterday and today have a little theme. Catering to the dog and cat lovers alike.

I softened things up today and created a slimline scene with this pile of adorable kitties! Also, before I started coloring this image, I went back and forth deciding to color all the same kind of kitty or different ones. Ultimately, I went with different because in all my years we have never had two cats that looked the same. So why start now?!?

I inked the sky with the Petite Clouds stencil and added die cuts from the Sky Scene Builder die set, along with my stamped sentiment. The hearts from the set are glued directly to the card front while the others are popped up.

Then I used the grass stencil to add my ground in a couple of layers before popping the image and that cute speech bubble up with foam tape. This just makes me smile!

Moving on to finishing touches today, I added stardust Stickles to the sun and clouds in the sky and glossy accents to all the hearts, kitty noses and toe beans.

Okay, it’s day 3 of the Newton’s Nook January Release reveals and we’re switching gears. It’s SOOOOOOOOO FUN!!!!

Never Enough Dogs stamps and dies

Is this not the sweetest image ever!?! I just adore it and completely relate on a ridiculous level! Trust me, if there are animals at a place, that’s where I’ll be. You all can have the people. I love critters!

I went a little bold and dark for today’s card but it would be so easy to lighten things up changing the color palette. I also let myself have fun and creative license when coloring all these cute pups! I used the coordinating dies to cut them out and then went back to add a couple extra hearts to go with the fun little speech bubble too.

My background is started with distress oxide sprays in wilted violet and mermaid lagoon. I got these for Christmas and have been enjoying playing around with them. Once the panel was dry, I layered the Woofs stencil over top and blended a little black ink fading from the top left to lower right.

I trimmed the panel down to 4×5.25 inches and popped it up on a black panel before adhering them to a card base. I die cut a rounded banner from the Banner Trio set and heat embossed a sentiment on it. Then I added everything with foam squares.

For finishing touches today, I started with black glaze pen on all puppy eyes. Then glossy accents on all puppy noses and hearts. I also added that to the dots on the scarf and both medallions on the collars. Once the glaze pen was dry, I added the white highlight back to the two dogs that have them in the original stamped image.

Welcome back everyone! We’re moving along today to another sweet heart stamp set with coordinating dies.

Newton’s Heart stamps and dies

I had fun using patterned paper for by background yesterday so for today’s card I made a huge, wonderful crafty mess! It was glorious and made my heart happy. I hope you enjoy it too!

I started with teal cardstock and inked it up using the Bokeh Hearts stencil – first with wilted violet distress oxide ink. I made sure I had a good layer so these hearts really popped. Then for the second layer I added bubblegum glitz glitter gel from Thermoweb. After the panel was completely dry I spritzed and flicked water everywhere and let that dry. I was too clean still so then I came back with white paint and now I’m in love!

I stamped and colored Newton with copic markers, keeping him light and simple to pop against all the color in the background. I tried my best to match markers with the teal cardstock for my heart – BG13, BG32 and BG11 did the job pretty well.

I used the coordinating die to cut Newton out. Then I die cut my background panel with the second largest Frames Squared die and also cut a purple circle from the same set to go behind Newton.

To assemble my card, I wrapped twine around the square and tied it in a bow on the right side. Then I carefully added foam tape to the back, avoiding the twine and popped the panel up on a white card base. Then I did the same think with the purple circle and finally added Newton on top!

For finishing touches I simply added glossy accents to Newton’s nose and toe beans. I love all that texture and sparkle! It’s so fun!
