Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Fall | Winter Hop

Hi friends! Proud to be a super sponsor of the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Fall | Winter Hop once again. I’m here to share some great inspiration with you and a little intro to my shop. If you’re new here, welcome! And if you’re an old friend, I’m happy to have you with us!

Today I’m pairing a few Twiddler’s Nook embellishments and crafty tools with Newton’s nook dies and patterned paper to create a holiday shaker card.

I cut the Newton’s Nook Coffee Frame from white cardstock, masked off the border and used Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes to add color to the mugs. I cut the mugs a second time from white cardstock, trimmed the center stripe out and added it with liquid glue over top of the ink blended mugs.

I added acetate and foam strips to the frame for my shaker window. Then sprinkled some Snowy Day and Gingerbread House clay embellishments to an A2 piece of patterned paper and adhered the frame over the top to seal the shaker up.

I glued the steam bits above the mugs on the acetate and then glued my Newton’s Nook Hug in a Mug sentiment over the top of that. Next, I added the whole panel to a card base.

Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers | Falling for the Holidays Hop

Hello friends! I’m proud to be a sponsor for the Build Your Stash Holiday Cardmakers linky party once again. Today I’m popping in with some Christmas inspiration using some of our awesome Twiddler’s Nook products.

I started by using my pressure pal to help stamp my snowman and sentiment; coloring with copic markers and using the coordinating dies to cut him out. I trimmed the sentiment with a paper cutter.

Next I sprayed a white panel with distress oxide and distress spritz sprays for textured color. After the panel dried I splattered it with water and blotted that. Finally I used my blending brush with the Simon Hurley Sparkling Stars stencil set. The first layer I used mustard seed distress oxide ink and the second layer is phoenix feather Astro Paste.

Once that panel dried, I used the snowflake stamp in the Simon Hurley Christmas Borders stamp set with white pigment ink on the background. Trimming the panel to 4×5.5 inches I popped it up on a white card base and tucked a black strip along the right edge.

I added silver thread behind my snowman before adhering him and my sentiment strip with foam squares. To finish the design I glued a scattering of Snow Day clay embellishments across the panel and added glossy scents to the holly berries and carrot nose.

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – National Coffee Day Hop

Hi friends! Today I’m here with a fun little shaker card to celebrate National Coffee Day with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers! The hop is over on Instagram so be sure to comment there! Below are some of the details on how I created my card.

I couldn’t help but go for a Halloween coffee shaker card to celebrate today. I used our Happy Jacks embellishment mix with a variety of Lawn Fawn dies and Newton’s Nook stamps and dies for my sentiment.

I rediscovered a fun paper pad in my stash to create the background. First I cut a 4.25×5.5 panel with the green polka dots and then gave life to some scraps in the pad with stripes for some contrast. Isn’t that fun!?!

I created my shaker and glued it in place with a few extra visitors in the form of ghosts and a spider on his web. Then I stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from Newton’s Nook on a banner and popped it up with foam squares.

Twiddler’s Nook Happy Jacks embelishments

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Spring | Summer Hop

Hi friends! I’m excited to revive my love of creating caffeinated cards for today’s hop! And, as always, proud to be a super sponsor for the Coffee Lovers Blog Hops. Today you have a chance to win $20 to the Twiddler’s Nook shop.

I took a moment earlier this week to create a fun shaker card using a number of our products to do so and I wanted to share it with you today!

I used a number of fun Pretty Pink Posh products, paired with Twiddler’s Nook embellishments and tools to create my sweet teacup shaker card. Starting with the shaker teacup, I filled it with primrose confetti bits and the spring fling mix too.

Moving on to the background, I used our blending brushes with the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Sunflowers stencil set. After inking all the layers, I thought it would be more fun to add texture to the flower center layer so I mixed paint with texture paste to make the perfect yellow paste to spread through the stencil.

I had so much fun creating this sweet card and hope you enjoyed the bit of inspiration too!

Destash Packages – New Price Point

I heard from crafters that the price point of my destash packages were a little more than they could do this time of year. I’m back to share that I have $65 packages stuffed full of a wonderful variety of products ready to go.

Remember, there are multiple companies in each package. Coordinating dies are included with the stamps. Nothing is duplicated because these are straight from my stash, not overstock I bought for something else. And it’s all brand new or gently used.

Please email me to claim yours at twiddlersnook@gmail.com.

Thank you!

Coffee Loving Cardmakers – Fall | Winter Blog Hop

Hi friends! We’re super excited for the Coffee Lovers Fall | Winter Hop to be here! I’ve got a sweet card to fill your inspiration cup and a little intro to my shop for all the newcomers too!

I pulled out some fabulous oldies but goodies from Newton’s Nook to create my card. The Mugs stencil is a staple in my craft room. I love it in those rich coffee tones and I love it all full of color too! I used my Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes to ink up the stenciled panel. I love how they sit on my desk color coded and ready to grab. Check out our Platform listing to see what I mean!

Then I stamped and colored some cuties from Newton Plans and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I used the same copic from the book on a piece of white cardstock to cut my “COFFEE” sentiment out and make sure it matched. I also stamped and heat embossing a sentiment from Time for Coffee on a banner in the A7 Frames die set.

Once all the layers were assembled I used my trusty Paw Tray to spread out some Caffeinated Crafting Embellishment Mix and pull the brown hearts to add a little something to my card. Then I easily poured it all back in the bag using the bottom corner of the tray.

For finishing touches I added glossy accents to Newton’s glasses, cup sleeve and noses.

Thanks so much for hopping along! I hope you have a blast creating for the Coffee Lovers Hop! Happy caffeinated crafting!

Twiddler’s Nook Spooktacular Hop

Happy Halloween everyone!!! I’m super excited for our final Spooktacular Hop of the year! I created a fun shaker card to share with you but remember to head to Instagram and comment on the hop posts for entries to win a gift code to the Twiddler’s Nook shop!

My most amazing crafty friend gifted me these sweet Picket Fence Studio ghosts and I just had to include them in our final hop. So I chose a few to stamp and color, then also stamped a sentiment before die cutting it all.

I used the Spellbinders banner punch to create a trio of banners, glued them together and wrapped the top with twine. Then I added my sentiment and images with foam squares and set that aside to create my shaker panel.

For that I ink blended over the Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Words stencil using Lawn Fawn inks – jalapeno, ballet slippers and carrot. I removed the stencil and lightly went over the panel with the same colors. After trimming it down to 4×5.25 inches I added it to a Waffle Flower shaker pouch.

I used a few different embellishments for my shaker bits today to create the perfect color combo mix – hearts from Spring Fling, Luscious Lime stars and orange Seed Beads. The variety of materials really helps them all move around when you shake it and the seed beads make an extra cool sound too.

After everything was adhered together on a white card base I added glossy accents and stardust Stickles to my ghosts for the finishing touches.

Products used:
Picket Fence Studios Be My Boo stamps and dies
Spellbinders Banner Punch
Pretty Pink Posh Halloween Words stencil
Twiddler’s Nook blending brushes
Twiddler’s Nook Luscious Lime Stars embellishments
Twiddler’s Nook Seed Beads – orange
Twiddler’s Nook Spring Fling clay embellishments (pink hearts)
Lawn Fawn inks – ballet slippers, carrot, jalapeno
Waffle Flower 5.25×4″ shaker pouch
