Newton’s Nook – July Release Reveals Day 3

Yesterday we brought you some partying kitties to play with. Well, the puppies wouldn’t have it if we didn’t include them! So, let’s get a look at those yappers woofin’ it up!

Dog Birthday Party stamps and dies

Yup, you guessed it…I’m smitten with these too! Although I went a little quicker and simpler today with a fun layout idea that only requires one image and I love it; although it was really hard to pick.

I cut one of the patterned papers from the new pad with the largest Frames & Flags die, angled it on the card front and popped it up with foam tape! To be fair, that happened after I inked up the card front and splattered it because you know I love that sort of thing.

Then I cut a circle from the Circle Frames dies and inked it up a little before popping my partying puppy up with a foam square. I added the card to my Misti so I could stamp the sentiment perfectly without stressing. Last, I finished it off with lots of sparkly Stickles on the party hat and cake frosting.

Newton’s Nook – July Release Reveals Day 2

Alright then, let’s keep this celebration going! Today we have a new stamp and die set to reveal and it’s meow-tiful!

Cat Birthday Party stamps and dies

This is another set with that really fun, smaller size Newton images doing all sorts of fun birthday and partying things! Today I paired them with the sweet new paper pad and the other card layout die. They’re so fun together!

I cut the whole Card Layout 4 die from some pink cardstock in my stash and then cut pieces from the paper pad to fit the inserts. I was being stingy with my paper pad to do it this way, you could cut the whole thing from each one to mix and match, creating 3 card backgrounds too!

Once that part was done, I chose four kitties to fit across that line on the panel, stamped and colored them to coordinate with the paper pad. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout on a Banner Trio die and popped everything up with foam squares.

Like always, a little finishing touches here and there with Stickles and glossy accents never hurt anybody.

Newton’s Nook – July Release Reveals Day 1

Hello friends! I’m excited that we’re back for another full week of release reveals for Newton’s Nook with an Instagram Hop and release available for purchase on Friday! Let’s see what we have today, shall we?

Birthday Time paper pad, Happy Birthday dies, Card Layout 3 die, Card Layout 4 die

I’m using all of these goodies sprinkled throughout the release but today I have a fun card to share with you using the Card Layout 3 die and some older but equally as fun products!

For this card I cut the layout die from white cardstock and went to town on the frame and inserts with distress oxide inks and sprays, separately so that I could get different browns for each part.

After lots of sprinkling and spraying, I let the pieces dry and then glued them to a white card front. Then I finished things off with the Hug in a Mug sentiment cut 3 times and glued together for dimension and a few Silhouette Coffee Mugs popped up with foam squares.

I couldn’t resist a little stardust Stickles on the mug heart to sparkle things up a bit but I wanted to make sure you could really see the awesome design of the background die.

Newton’s Nook – June Release Day Instagram Hop

Welcome back everyone! Super excited to share my card for the Newton’s Nook June Release Day Instagram Hop on here, but remember to head to IG to comment and hop along for chances to win!

I’m still feeling my stencil era so I pulled out a few oldies but goodies to pair with Newton’s Sand Dollar on today’s card. I used the Retro Sun & Palms, paired with the Waves & Splashes stencils to create my background. Then I cut a curvy sand bank using the Land Borders dies, splattering the kraft cardstock with brown and white paint for the sandy look.

I stamped and colored all of the images from Newton’s Sand Dollar and used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. With all the pieces ready, I used liquid glue to adhere them all together. Then I tore the right side of my panel for some awesome texture and added foam tape to the back of the panel.

Before popping it up on my card base, I drug my teal ink pad across the edge for texture and color at the same time.

Then I added my scene panel and popped it up a heat embossed sentiment banner using one of the banners in the A7 Frames die set. I finished things off with glossy accents on all of the images.

Newton’s Nook – June Release Reveals

Hey friends! Welcome to release reveals for the Newton’s Nook June Mini Seaside Release! I’m smitten with the new stamp set and in love with the color palette of the new paper pad! I want to use it everywhere! Let’s take a look!

Seaside Paper Pad and Newton’s Sand Dollar stamps and dies

I have 2 cards to share with you today using both of these new products. Then I’ll be back tomorrow with another card and a link to the Instagram hop celebrating release day!

I used a few pieces of the new paper pad with the A2 Card Layout die. I cut 2 white frames first and then cut the patterned paper, keeping the inserts to paper piece. One fun thing about these is that I cut the center from the same piece of paper, just used one side on each card.

For this first card, I stamped and colored Newton’s Sand Dollar and used the coordinating die to cut him out. Then I grabbed a circle from the Circle Frames dies for my sentiment. On the card front, I went direct-to-paper with my light brown ink pad for color and texture with no bulk.

With all of that done, I just grabbed my glue and foam squares and started assembling it all together. I finished things off with a clay heart on the sentiment and some glossy accents and stardust stickles on the image.

For this card, I repeated the process, using light teal ink on the card front because the browns didn’t quite match enough for my liking. Then I went and grabbed the Hello die in the Filigree Oval Frame dies for my sentiment and just adorned it with a seashell from the stamp set.

It’s simple but so pretty and perfect for any beach lover! Goodness knows I have enough of those in my life. Then for finishing touches I just added a little stardust stickles on the seashell for sparkle.

Newton’s Nook – Beekeeper Newton

Hey friends! I’m back on the Newton’s Nook blog today with a sweet little card featuring Beekeeper Newton and he’s got honey to share! Also, over on Instagram today I’ve got a coloring reel to share if you’re feeling like zoning out for a few minutes.

After stamping and coloring all of my images, I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. I snagged the smallest die from the Basic Frames die set to stamp and heat emboss my sentiment on.

My background was premade from a batch I created when the A2 Card Layout 2 die was released. I made 4 backgrounds then and only used 2 so I still had 2 waiting for the proper inspiration to hit. Today was just such a day.

This background uses the A2 Card Layout 2 die for the white frame and the Natural Basics paper pad for the stitched inserts. The whole thing is popped up with foam tape on a white card base.

I used liquid glue to adhere bits together like the honey jars and the honey pot to the apiary. Then added foam squares to the back of everything and popped it all in place.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the jars, Newton’s nose, the apiary and honey pot. Then I added stardust Stickles to the bee’s wings for some sparkle too.

Products used today:
Beekeeper Newton stamps and dies
A2 Card Layout 2 die
Basic Frames dies
Natural Basics paper pad
Liquid glue
Foam squares
Embossing & watermark ink
Magic anti-static brush
Embossing powder
Glossy accents
Stickles – stardust

Newtons Nook – April Mini Release Day

Happy Release Day for Newton’s Nook! We’re having an Instagram hop today to celebrate release day and give you a nice boost of inspiration to use these new dies that are available in the Newton’s Nook shop right now!

I have a card to share with you using the Filigree Oval Frame die set again, in a simpler way than a shaker which can be overwhelming for some people.

For this card, I actually cut everything out using a pastel pink cardstock and inked over the top. I started out just playing around with no plan but I wanted to add dimension to the pink so I grabbed blending brushes and some warm colored inks. I inked up the frame in a random bit of color here and there, then went back and blended those together.

Next, I had pulled out the Monarchs stamp set thinking it is a great spring set to play with but I didn’t want black butterflies so I tried stamping them in orange on the pink cardstock and I love it! I used copic markers to add shading to the open spots which also worked well. I stamped the small shadow butterflies in black and used coordinating dies to cut everything out.

Next, I ink blended blue inks on the oval that cut out when I cut the frame and splattered it with some extra watered down iridescent watercolor. When that was dry, I stamped my sentiment in the center. For assembly, I added the frame to a white card base and popped the oval up with foam tape. Then I added the butterflies with foam squares, doubling up in the areas that needed it.

Products used:
Filigree Oval Frame dies
Monarchs stamps and dies
Blending brushes
Lawn Fawn dye inks – ballet slippers, guava, lemonade, fake tan, mermaid
Foam tape and squares
Liquid glue

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

Newtons Nook – April Mini Release Reveals Day 2

Welcome back everyone. For our second fabulous background die on this release, we have the Filigree Oval Frame die that comes with a hello sentiment as well.

Filigree Oval Frame Dies

I love the pattern on this frame and the fact that the oval is cuts out is stitched and totally usable with the frame or on it’s own later too. I have a shaker card to share with you using all of this today.

I cut the Filigree Oval Frame from white cardstock, saving the oval to use with it. Then I stamped and colored the Roses image with copic markers and used the coordinating die to cut it out. After coloring the roses I chose purple for my background color. I inked the edges with a brighter purple ink and carefully die cut the “hello” sentiment from the center of the panel knowing I was going to cover that up with my oval. I inked the bottom of the word the same as the panel so they coordinated.

Next I lined the frame panel with acetate and foam tape around the edges. I glued the purple panel to a card base and sprinkled shaker filler in the center, then adhered the frame over top, sealing the shaker bits inside.

Then, I inked up the oval with yellow ink and splatters and popped it up with foam tape in the opening. I added the rose with foam squares and carefully used liquid glue to adhere the “hello” sentiment where it overlaps the roses.

For finishing touches I added white gel pen highlights all over the image.

Newtons Nook – April Mini Release Reveals Day 1

Hello friends! Newton’s Nook is having a mini release this month with just 2 new dies…that you’re going to LOVE! We’re revealing one today and the other tomorrow, with an Instagram hop on release day! First up…

Lattice Die

Today I have a springy card to share with you using the Lattice die and the pretty Daffodils stamps and dies. My mother-in-law used to have a lattice fence dividing her yard and I always thought it was pretty with flowers along the bottom so that’s where I got my inspiration for this card.

I cut the lattice die from white cardstock and then used distress oxide sprays and distress spritz spray to add color and shimmer. Her lattice was bright white but I wanted to pull in the yellow for the daffodils.

I colored my images and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I cut a banner from the A7 Frames die set and heat embossed my sentiment on that. I used liquid glue to adhere the stems of the daffodils in the lattice and then lined the back with foam strips and squares. I also added foam to the butterfly and sentiment strip.

Next, I cut a piece of this blue glitter cardstock I found in my stash to A2 size and glued it to a card base. I inked up the edges with a darker blue ink but it didn’t really take to this cardstock because I think it has a coating on it for the glitter. So I removed all the release paper from the back of the lattice panel and popped it in place. Then I added the sentiment strip and butterfly next.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the stamen on the daffodils an butterfly wings for a bit of shine with all the shimmer.

Newton’s Nook – Time to Celebrate

Hey friends! As always, happy to be sharing super fun Newton’s Nook inspiration on their blog and here! Also, still beefing up my birthday card supply so here is another fun one for the stash. This set happens to be part of the Retiring Sale going on now too so snag yours while they’re available!

I started with the cute image from Birthday Mice, stamping and coloring with copic markers. Then used the coordinating die to cut it out. Next, I heat embossed the Birthday Roundabout image on a piece of white cardstock and did a little ink smooshing on top of it. When doing this type of technique remember to dry your panel in between inks so they layer more than mix into mud.

Once that was done and the panel was dry, I tore off one edge and used my teal blending brush (without adding ink) along the torn edge to add some color. Then I took one of the Ocean Borders dies and cut a strip of yellow cardstock to add beneath it. I also stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the Birthday Roundabout on a Banner Trio die before putting all of that away.

For assembly today, I added foam squares and tape to the back of the inked panel, mice image and sentiment banner. I removed the release paper and adhered the wavy strip to the inked panel first, then adhered all of that to a white card base. Next I added the image and sentiment banner to that. For finishing touches I added twine around the top and a combo of glossy accents and stardust Stickles to parts of the image.

Products used:
Birthday Mice stamps and dies
Birthday Roundabout stamps
Banner Trio dies
Ocean Borders dies
Foam squares
Liquid glue
Embossing and watermark ink
Embossing powder – frosting
Magic anti-static brush
Lawn Fawn inks – peacock, peach fuzz, lemonade
Blending brush

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