Floral Thank You | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! I know I keep saying I’ll be back to share more crafty inspiration with y’all but life keeps happening and I keep getting tied up with the most random things! But I’m here today, and we’ll see how things go tomorrow, LOL. I have decided to take it day by day in this busy season of life. Except for vacations, and weekends, I have those packed till like August LOL!

Okay, y’all are here for a card so let’s get to that! Seattle (and pretty much most of the NW) has had a super late start to spring, so I’ve just been making a ton of spring-y cards in hopes of manifesting it to come! I also purged some of my crafty supplies, and that revealed some older stamp sets that I figured I would ink up!

I love it when companies make their products coordinate! For this card, I stamped and colored the oval image from the Best Mom Oval Stamp Set, then restamped and embossed it with rose gold embossing powder. I die cut it using a scalloped from the Oval Frames Die Set, and added to a sheet of pattern paper from the Springtime Paper Pad trimmed down to an A2 size.

To add a little dimension to the card, I stamped and embossed (in the same rose gold) some of the butterflies from the Beautiful Wings Stamp Set on to vellum and fussy cut them. I added them to an oval die cut, also cut using the Oval Frames Die Set from a coordinating cardstock and embossed a sentiment from the Best Mom Oval Stamp Set on to it. I added the sentiment piece to the rest of the card using some foam tape. And as always finished off the card with some jewels.

Birthday Gift Card Holder | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to the blog! Sharing a project today to jump into summer, cause I am 100% over the cold temperatures here in the NW. I used an older Newton’s Nook Designs‘ stamp set, Summer Scoops to create a fun gift card holder.

To create this gift card holder, I started by stamping some of the images from the Summer Scoops stamp set with copic friendly black ink, and coloring it with copic markers. Once colored, I cut out the images using the coordinating die set.

I stamped and embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder on to black cardstock, once heat set I fussy cut it. I layered the images onto a vellum rectangle to ensure that it doesn’t blend into the pattern paper and added the sentiment on top of it.

I finished of the card by die cutting the gift card holder from sheets of the Springtime Paper Pad (use can also use an SVG file for this part) and added the ice cream die cuts, along with some sequins to finish of the project.

‘Eidi’ Gift Card Holders | Ramadan

Jummah Mubarak and Hello crafty friends! Ellen Hutson recently shared a galaxy reel of mine and I was like Ooo! I need to make some more space-ish themed cards, but I’ve also been trying to make and share more Eid inspiration, so I combined the two ideas to make these space themed Eidi gift card holders!

To create these, I started by die cutting the Reverse Confetti Gift Card Holder Cover Panel from the new Islamic Designs Cardstock Pack from The Write Aesthetic. I also created a galaxy background (more details here) and die cut 2 pieces using the insert pieces on the Gift Card Holder Cover Panel.

For the first one, I embossed a lantern image from Dstampss‘ Lanterns and Little dua Makers and a sentiment from Mini Muslims stamp set with gold embossing powder and adhered it to one of the gift card holder die cuts.

For the second one, I used some images from Lawn Fawn‘s Out of this World (die cut using the coordianting dies) and I embossed the same sentiment as the first gift holder.

So grateful for these Islamic products on the market now! Makes Ramadan and Eid crafting so much easier! Make sure to check out these brands and let them know I sent you *wink*. I hope you were inspired and if you create something for Eid be sure to tag me @everydayengineered on Instagram! 

Happy Crafting!

Iqra Book Marks | Ramadan

Welcome back to the blog! I love gifting books for all the occasions including Eid! So why not add a cute book mark to go with it! And it was so easy to make using the new Islamic Designs Cardstock Pack from The Write Aesthetic, I am in love with this pattern paper and can’t wait to use ALL the sheets!

To create these book marks I started by die cut the book marks using Newton Nook Designs‘ Bookmark Die Set from a sheet of cardstock from the Islamic Designs Cardstock Pack. I also die cut a backing from some Kraft paper and adhered it to the back so that you can add a personal message!

Next I stamped and colored (using copics) two of the images from Dstampss‘ Mini Muslims stamp set, and fussy cut them out. Lastly I die cut the word ‘IQRA’ from Henry’s ABCs by Lawn Fawn.

So grateful for these Islamic products on the market now! Makes Ramadan and Eid crafting so much easier! Make sure to check out these brands and let them know I sent you *wink*. I hope you were inspired and I will be back with more Eid crafts soon!

CAS Birthday Card | Pretty Pink Posh

Happy Hump Day y’all! It’s been a day, thankfully productive. But as always the to do list didn’t seem to get any shorter, taking a mini break before starting dinner to share a CAS – just stamp card with y’all!

To create this card, I started by stamping the strip of candles Birthday Borders stamp set from Pretty Pink Posh on to an A2 piece of white cardstock and colored it using copic markers. Once I was done coloring I used a grey copic to add a shadow under the candles.

To finish off the card, I added some glossy accents to the flames and stamped the sentiment “so many candles“, possibly my last woodblock stamp that my son found and is now obsessed with!

Flying Butterflies | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! I’m all for productive days, but oh man, they do tire me out! it’s past 9 and I am just getting to posting this! Sharing a fun interactive card today up on the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog using the tiniest stamps from multiple stamp sets, and fishing line, yes fishing line!

To create this card I started by card base with an oval window using the Oval Frames Die Set and the new Springtime Paper Pad. I sandwiched the fishing line between the pattern paper and the card front.

Next I stamped the little butterflies from the Newton’s Blooms Stamp Set, Gnome Garden Stamp Set, Daffodils Stamp Set and Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set twice, and colored them using copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating dies (Newton’s Blooms Die Set, Gnome Garden Die Set, Daffodils Die Set, Bitty Bunnies Die Set). I used little pieces of double sided tape to adhere the butterflies to the fishing line.

Next I stamped and colored the kitty with a butterfly net from the Captivated Kittens Stamp Set and die cut it using the coordinating Captivated Kittens Die Set. I adhered it to the bottom right corner off the card.

Lastly I stamped a sentiment from the Captivated Kittens Stamp Set on a banner die cut from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set.

Greenery and Coffee | Newton’s Nook Design

Happy Thursday! Well it’s basically a few hours to Friday, which means it pretty much the weekend! I missed the February Caffeinated Christmas Card Challenge, but I really wanted to make sure that I sneak on into the March challenge, Green.

I stretched “green” to greenery” and added a lot of foliage to my coffee mugs! And since it’s winter on my card I added some whipped cream topping!

To create this card, I started by stamping the image from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set twice and die cut it with the mug die cuts from the Mugs and Kisses die set. I colored in the images using copic markers and added the whipped cream die cuts that I covered with some glitter nuvo drops, and set aside to dry.

Next I created the background for the card by embossing Holiday Foliage Stencil onto some green cardstock. I also die cut a banner from the Banner Trio Die Set from and embossed a sentiment from the Heartfelt Holidays stamp set on to it. I also die cut a scalloped oval from vellum using the Oval Frames Die Set to add behind mug to help them pop. As always, I finished off with some jewels.

Thank you so much for stopping by today! I hope that this card inspires you to create something and you get some crafty time this weekend! 
Happy Crafting!

Planet Wishes | Lawn Fawnatics #120

Happy Monday! I hope that the weekend was exactly what you needed it to be! Mine wasn’t as productive as I needed it to be, but it was relaxing enough to have me energized for an extremely busy week coming up! I have been procrastinating on some things, and optimistic that this is the week that I am going to make progress on my to do list! I did manage to make a card for the Lawn Fawnatics challenge – “all things birthday“ as I really wanted to use some new craft supplies I picked up at Room to Craft, my local craft store!

I’ve really been into creating galaxy backgrounds recently, so that combined with “birthday” I created this card.

To create this card, started my stamping the planet from the Year Eleven stamp set, along with a few from the Out of This World stamp set and colored them in using copic markers (Y13, 15, 18; YG00, 01; YR04, 16, 18; B00, 01, 02; C1, 3, 5, 7; R14, 17, 24) and die cut them using the coordinating dies (Year Eleven and Out of This World).

Next I created a galaxy background using distress ink in (black soot, chipped sapphire, mustard seed, wilted violet, mermaid lagoon and twisted citron) and splattered it using white and silver paint. Once dry, I die cut the letters for “BIRTHDAY” using Henry’s ABCs. I also die cut the same letters from silver card stock to create a shadow. I lined up the die cuts and added them to the center of an A2 piece of white card stock.

Next I stamped and embossed the sentiments from the Year Eleven stamp set, on to black card stock strips with white embossing powder. I trimmed off the “birthday” from one of them.

I finished off the card by adhering the sentiment strips and the colored images, using liquid adhesive and foam tape to create a little dimension.

Thanks for stopping by today, hope y’all have a great week! 

Happy Crafting!
