A Little Birdie Told Me… | Newton’s Nook Designs

Hi crafty friends! I haven’t been on here in so long that I have no idea where to even start! It’s been a busy couple of months, and I know that the next few coming up are going to be just as busy! I just hope to be able to squeeze in some crafty time as I have the cutest products staring at me! Starting with the new birdhouse themed products from Newton’s Nook Designs! I finally got to use them to make this easy card!

To create this card I started by inking up the layers of the Birdhouse Line Stencil. I inked up the first row using bright rainbow distress inks. The I inked the row of roofs and birdhouse poles using brown distress ink, and lastly inked the third row, using black ink.

Next I cut the inked panel with the Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set to give the look of an edge die cut. I also trimmed two pieces of pattern paper from the  Springtime Paper Pad and die cut it using the same scallop frame die from the Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set, I tucked the pattern paper behind the inked panel to hide the trimmed side of the piece!

Lastly to finish off the card, I stamped sentiments from the Birdhouse Greetings Stamp Set with black ink and embossed it with clear embossing powder.

Thanks for stopping by today! Please make sure to stop by the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog for more inspiration and don’t forget to tag #NewtonsNook or #NewtonsNookDesign on Instagram to share what you created!

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 4 – Fabulous Fungus + coordinating Dies

Happy Thursday! Welcome to the last day of reveal week for at Newton’s Nook Designs March release! The release goes live tomorrow! Today we are showcasing the Fabulous Fungus stamp set along with the coordinating dies.

I used today’s stamp set, the Fabulous Fungus to create this very CAS card! Very rare for me, but I really wanted to let the image of the stamp set shine!

To create this card, I started by stamping two of the images from twice, and the cluster of mushrooms once. I stamped them using light brown ink, and restamped with watermark ink and embossed with gold embossing powder after coloring the images with copic markers. After the embossing cooled, I die cut all the images using the coordinating dies.

I added the images on to a card front, using liquid adhesive and foam tape for added dimension. I finished off the card by stamping and embossing a sentiment from the same set.

Thanks for following along all week! Can’t wait to see what y’all get tomorrow and what you create!

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 3 – Spring Blooms Oval

Happy Hump Day! I hope that y’all are having a great week, if not, it’s almost the weekend! This week is reveal week over at Newton’s Nook Designs for their March Release and it’s been so exciting to share inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set, the newest addition to the Oval Card Front collection, that works perfectly with the Oval Frames Die Set.

The Spring Blooms Oval stamp set is currently my favorite from the Oval Card Front collection cause I can never say no to a tulip or a daffodil stamp set, and you put both of them into one stamp set!! Oh my!

To create this card, I started by stamping the the oval image with light brown ink, and then colored it using copic markers. Once I was done coloring I restamped the image using watermark ink and embossed the image with gold embossing powder. Once the image cooled, I die cut it using the largest scallop die from the Oval Frames Die Set.

To finish off the card, I stamped and embossed a sentiment on a smaller stitched oval die cut, and inked it up using some yellow ink to match the daffodils. I added the sentiment die cut to the oval image, and then added it to the card from that I embossed using the new Quatrefoil Stencil.

I hope you like the card I created, I know this one will be used again soon! Now for the fun part of reveal week …

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 2 – Newton’s Umbrella and Rainy Day Doxie + coordinating Dies

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for the March reveal week over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Newton’s Umbrella and Rainy Day Doxie stamp sets along with their coordinating dies.

For my first card today I used the Newton’s Umbrella stamp set. I started by stamping the large image along with a few raindrops, I colored them in using copic marker, and die cutting them using the coordinating dies. I also die cut a banner from vellum using a banner die from the Frames & Flags Die Set and embossed a sentiment from the stamp set onto it.

I finished off the card with an embossed card front using the Petite Cloud Stencil, and I added a strip of pattern paper from the Springtime Paper Pad before adding the sentiment banner tucked behind the color Newton image, and lastly I used the colored raindrops as embellishments!

My second card features the new Rainy Day Doxie stamp set, it’s such a perfect set for spring! My card is inspired by the tulip fields in the PNW, and the Spring Blooms Paper Pad made the perfect easy background for the card!

To create this card, I started by stamping and coloring the image from the Rainy Day Doxie stamp set, along with the puddle and a few water splatters, and die cut them using the coordinating dies. I also embossed a sentiment on a banner die cut from the Frames & Flags Die Set.

To finish off my card, I trimmed down a sheet of pattern paper from the new Spring Blooms Paper Pad to an A2 size, and added my images with some foam tape. Lastly, I added the banner to the corner of the card front.

Thank you for making it this far into the post! Now for the fun part!

The Haul collection or as I like to call it, the Little Blue Truck collection is getting a new addition this release with the Spring Haul stamp set and its coordinating die! I used it to create this fun spring card inspired by the tulip fields in Washington!

To create this card, I started by stamping the large image from the Spring Haul stamp set along with some of the smaller images. I colored them using copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies.

Next I created the scene on the background using a combination of pattern paper from the Springtime Paper Pad (cloud background) and the new Spring Blooms Paper Pad (tulips), and lastly a grass die cut inked up with green ink and stamped the sentiment from the Spring Haul stamp set.

Birthday Ice Cream | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday y’all! Look who is back on the blog! I have no idea where my crafting mojo is these days, I guess I have just been living in the real world! Here’s to hoping that March is craftier as I have a bunch of new products starting at me! Today I used a stamp set that I recently got the dies for and decide to create a summer themed card in hopes of manifesting warmer temperatures here in the NW!

To create this card, I started by stamping all but one of the images from the Summer Scoops Stamp Set with black ink on to copic friendly white card stock. I colored them using the copic shown below, and die cut them using the coordinating Summer Scoops Die Set.

To finish off the card, I embossed the card front using the Petite Hearts Stencil, to add some dimension but not much color as I wanted the die cut images to pop. I die cut a banner from colored cardstock using a banner from the Frames & Flags Die Set. I embossed a sentiment on to it using the white embossing powder, from the same stamp set.

I added all the die cut images, along with the sentiment banner, and finished off with some rainbow sequins.

Espresso Your Love | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Monday Crafty Friends! I hope that y’all have a great start to the week! I have big hopes for this week, so let’s see if I actually get though my to do list and get a chance to craft! SO many things have piled up as I have been trying to get a NOT broken piece of furniture! We finally decided to return it and order one online! Here’s to hoping the new one is in ONE piece!

Okay, enough life updates, let’s get to today’s card! I’m not super into Valentines, BUT I am into coffee, so I used this an opportunity to use my valentines coffee stamp to make a card!

To create this card, I started by inking up an A2 piece of card stock using the Petite Hearts Stencil and some light pink ink, I tried to do a bit of an ombre ink blending. Next I stamped the pair of mugs from the Love Café Stamp Set and colored it, and die cut it using the coordinating Love Café Die Set.

Next I die cut a scalloped heart using the Heart Frames Die Set from a sheet of pattern paper from the Love & Chocolate Paper Pad. I also die cut a banner from a scrap piece from the same paper pad using the Banner Trio Die Set, along with one from pink card stock.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from Love Café Stamp Set on to the pink banner, and the large image from the Heartfelt Love Stamp Set on to vellum. After heat setting I die cut the vellum using a stitched heart from the Heart Frames Die Set.

I finally I layered all the pieces together using a combination of glue and foam tape, and of course some sequins!

Sweet Treats Blog Hop | Newton’s Nook Designs

Newton’s Nook Designs 9th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop!
The Newton’s Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats – just in time for Valentine’s day! Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win!

As my kids are in school now, they have to make “valentines” for their classmates and I figured I would share an easy idea today for all the parents out there! You can have your child do the coloring too! It doesn’t have to be with comics, but it’ll speed things up, and they get to be involved too!

To create these pencil toppers I used the new Newton’s Heart and Puppy Heart stamp sets. I stamped and colored them in using copic markers, then cut them with the respective coordinating dies, Newton’s Heart Die Set and Puppy Heart Die Set.

Next I stamped sentiment from the same stamps sets on to the die cut pieces. For this project I used two that are closest to “will you be my valentine?”. You can also have your children write their friends names one them! Another fun idea would be to make book marks using popsicle sticks instead of pencils! I finished off adding the images to the pencils simply with tape. Off to make some book marks now with my daughter!

If you enjoyed this project and would like to recreate it, it’s your lucky day as Newton’s Nook Designs is having a sale!

Newton’s Nook Designs – DAY 4 – Never Enough Cats + coordinating Dies

Happy Thursday! It’s the last day of reveal week over at Newton’s Nook Designs and I’m so excited to share a ton of inspiration with you this week! Today we are showcasing the Never enough Cats stamp set along with the coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired!

Sharing a card today using my new favorite technique, partial die cutting! To create this card, I started by stamping the large image from the Never Enough Cats stamp set onto the center of an A2 card front. Use a heavier card stock to avoid color bleeding though. I colored my image using shades of brown – grey paints, but you can use what ever coloring medium you are comfortable with.

Once the paint dried, I used the coordinating die to cut only half of the image, by covering only half the die in my sandwich for the die cutting machine. Next I a paper trimmer to cut off the excess paper to allow the cut out shape to show clearly.

Lastly, I finished off the card by adding a strip of pattern paper behind the image to allow it pop a bit more, and stamped a sentiment with black ink on to it.

Would you like to win the “Never Ending Cats” Stamp Set?This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
