Back for more buzzy fun? I’m so glad! Today we have sweet Newton joining in on the bee brigade and he’s so cute!

Beekeeper Newton Stamps and Dies

Today my card features this adorable new set with yesterday’s Honeycomb hot foil plates too!

I started by ink blending distress oxide inks on a white panel and doing the usual splatters. After letting it dry over night, I hot foiled the new honeycomb plate on it twice. Then I die cut the panel with the largest Frames & Tags die.

Next, I stamped and colored images from Beekeeper Newton and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I cut another banner from the Banner Trio set and heat embossed a sentiment from yesterday’s Heartfelt Honeycomb set with yellow embossing powder this time.

I took a bright blue ink pad direct to paper on a piece of cardstock measuring 4×5.25 inches and glued it to a white card base. Then I popped up the foiled panel with foam tape and followed that by adding all the images and sentiment strip with foam squares as well.

For finishing touches I added stardust Stickles to the bee wings and glossy accents to Newton’s nose, the honey on the pot and parts of the bee box.

It’s already the final day of release reveals for the Newton’s Nook April Release! Today I’m extra excited to go back to our critter loving roots and have a new Newton and Puppy set to share with you.

Newton’s Bubble Tea stamps and dies

Puppy’s Bubble Tea stamps and dies

Are these images not just adorable? They are great for cards but are also going to be fun for tags and things too! We love boba tea in our house! Do you?

First up, a shaker card with Newton’s Bubble tea. I colored the images soft and sweet and kept the card colors in line with that. Using the new Frames & Tags dies to create a grid with one window as a shaker was fun and different for me. The shaker bits are from the Newton’s Nook birthday last year – Celebration Embellishment Mix.

I went direct-to-paper with my ink pad again on the card base. I love that texture and variation that you get from such a quick technique. For finishing touches I added glossy accents to the boba and Newton’s nose and toe beans.

Moving on to Puppy’s Bubble Tea, I added paint to some texture paste to emulate the tapioca boba in his bubble tea. Then I used bits a pieces from the new die sets to pull everything together.

My rectangles were cut from pink cardstock to pull in the fun pink straw using the Frames & Tags dies. Then the flag banner comes from the new Basic Frames dies and is the perfect focal point to bring everything together.

For finishing touches I added some black bubbles and glossy accents. I also went over the puppy’s eyes with black glaze pen and a white gel highlight after that was dry.

Keeping on with the gorgeous floral idea, we have another stamp and die set along those lines to share with you today. This was equally as amazing to color and I hope to use it lots in the future!

Cherry Blossoms stamps and dies

With too many ideas flowing through my brain when I laid eyes on this set, I had to sketch them all out and choose one to start with. This idea won out and I’m very happy with the result.

I inked up a background panel with the Trailing Leaves stencil. Then I cut the new A2 Card Layout die from kraft cardstock. I kept the inside pieces for another day but glued the frame to my stenciled panel.

Next, I stamped and colored the Cherry Blossoms image twice and used the coordinating die to cut them out. They are popped up on the card front with foam squares.

Last, I placed the card in my MISTI and stamped my sentiment in the center space. For finishing touches I added stardust Stickles to the center of each flower. I love the sparkle it gives!

Let’s keep the goodness rolling with more new things from the April Newton’s Nook release!

Floral Delights stamps and dies

I’m not typically a floral person but there is something about these images that I flipped for! I love them and could sit and color them in a million color ways for days on end. Hence, I have two fun projects to share with you today, instead of one.

They were both very simple to put together and fun in their own ways. Let’s start with the card first.

I stamped the images and sentiment on a piece of Bristol smooth paper and watercolored them with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers. Once the coloring was done I lightly ink blended blue around the images. Then I splattered watered down ink on the panel and let it dry.

When that was dry, I cut the panel with the largest Basic Frames die and added it to the largest Frames & Tags die with foam tape. To add color to my card base, I took my yellow ink pad direct-to-paper so it left vibrant color and some great texture too. Then I added the images to the card base with foam tape as well.

I couldn’t decide if this would end up being a gift tag or bookmark so I cut two panels, white and yellow, but didn’t glue them together. I inked the yellow with the Sunscape stencil and stamped my sentiment on the upper right. I splattered the panel with some yellow ink for added texture. Then I added the images that were also watercolored with foam squares.

Last, I threaded ribbon through both layers of tags and tied it together with baker’s twine from my stash.

Moving along with the new products from the Newton’s Nook March release, I have a card to share using the new A2 Card Layout die. This is going to be a super fun staple in your crafting back pocket for sure!

Today I cut the A2 Card Layout three times – white cardstock and two patterns from the Pastel Basics paper pad. I kept the pieces from each that I didn’t use so I have them for later on. I love that about dies like these. Those pieces always come in handy.

I stamped and colored the tulips and butterfly with copic markers before using the coordinating dies to cut them out. Then I cut a banner from the A7 Frames die set to stamp and heat emboss my sentiment on.

I used liquid glue to adhere the frame and four inserts to my white card base. Then I popped everything up with foam squares on that. For finishing touches I added stardust Stickles to the butterfly wings and white gel pen accents to the florals.

Yesterday I shared a recap of the release and one project using some of the new goodies. Today I’m back with another project. This time I’m using the Basic Frames die set and Pastel Basics paper pad.

I created a fun card featuring the new Basic Frames dies and Newton’s Bright Birthday stamp set. Aren’t they fun together?!? I love banner shapes so I was itching to use it right away.

I chose a color palette with a little help from my board on Pinterest and colored my image. Then I used the Confetti stencil on a white card base using some of the same colors. I popped the image up on foam tape then tied twine around the top of the banner before adding foam below that to adhere it to my card base.

With part of my sentiment fitting perfectly on the front, I decided to bring the fun to the inside of this card too. I love it when this works out!

Back to the front for finishing touches. I added glossy accents to kitty noses, toe beans and the fire extinguisher. Then I wanted sparkle on the candles so I added stardust Stickles to all of those. Isn’t it so fun!?!

This is actually the final day of release reveals for this month’s Newton’s Nook release. It’s bitter sweet but I hope you’re ready for so much cuteness and are prepared to shop your hearts out tomorrow!!!

Newton’s Reading List stamps and dies

Puppy’s Reading List stamps and dies

I had a blast coloring these images and then had the whole family weigh in on the book titles because #1 it was way too hard to choose and #2 they were cracking me up so I had to share the joy!

For Newton’s Reading List, I cut another Fancy Edges Tag and inked it up with the Petite Paw Prints stencil before popping Newton up with foam squares. Then I inked a white panel with the Meow stencil using orange ink. After I removed the stencil I added a light layer of the same ink all around the edges. I cut this panel from the largest Framework die.

I didn’t like the white card base around the edges so I added a layer of gray cardstock before popping the orange panel up with foam tape. Then I added my tag with another layer of foam tape. You know I love dimension. Then I finished things off with glossy accents here and there.

For Puppy’s Reading List, I pulled out A Dog’s Life paper pad to add layers to my background. I cut strips about 1 3/4″ and 2 1/2″, then covered the seam with a 1/4″ red strip. Next, my image is popped up on a scalloped circle from the Circle Frames die set.

I finished this card off the same way with glossy accents all around on the glasses, collar tag and book spines. Last, I added baker’s twine around the top, tied in a bow.

Today’s new set is going to be so fun for all of us who love creating scene cards! I don’t do them often anymore but they can be so much fun and a different way to create, which I love!

Cozy Home stamps and dies

Can you hardly stand it?!? There are so many fun images to mix and match together. You can create the perfect little cozy room and use one of the adorable sentiments to connect it all together.

I chose a variety of fun images from the set to color and die cut. Then I arranged them together to create a mini scene. For my background, I chose the largest scalloped circle from the Circle Frames die set.

I used the striped stencil layer from the Retro Sun & Palms set to add texture and color to my background. It happens to fit perfectly in that circle! Then I added my images with foam squares. I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment on the smallest circle in the Circle Frames set and popped it up on that as well.

Last, I glued teal cardstock to a white card base and inked the edges with brown ink to add depth and distressing. Then I popped my circle panels up on that with foam tape. For finishing touches I just added glossy accents to the kitty nose, flame and book spines.
