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.

Pumpkin Spice and Fall Leaves | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! Welcome back to my crafty corner on the internet! Always grateful for y’all stopping by! So, how many stamps are too many on one card? Well, let’s keep count and circle back after the card details have been shared!

I love fall crafting and this card is a true representation of that love! To create this card, I started by stamping the image from Newton’s Mug, before starting to color, I also stamped the pumpkin in the center from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set. I colored the image using copic markers (shown below), and die cut it out using the coordinating Newton’s Mug Die Set.

I assembled the card, starting with a card base dry embossed using the Falling Leaves Stencil. Next I heat embossed the image from the Fall Fringe stamp set in gold on to vellum, I trimmed it down using my paper trimmer, and offset it on the card base.

For the sentiment, I used one from the Signs of Fall stamp set, and embossed it in gold, on to a banner die cut from the Frames & Flags Die Set and teal card stock. Lastly I added the colored image to finish off the card.

So, what do you think, too many stamp sets? I’ll try and make a simple card next time!

Your Plane Awesome | Avery Elle

Happy Hump Day! Today is one of those days I actually my life together LOL. It’s only 2PM and my done list is way done then my to-do list! So that’s means extra time before nap time ends! I made this card a while back to match the party favors and cake at a little friend’s birthday party. Perks of being the baker, you know the theme of the party!

To create this card I started by stamping the plane from Avery Elle’s Peak-a-Boo Flight Stamp Set, coloring it using copic markers and then die cut it out with the coordinating die.

Next, I stamped the owl and it’s wings from the Peek-A-Boo Coaster Stamp Set, colored it with copic markers and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I finished of the card by creating a background using the Pretty Pink Posh Layered Clouds Stencil set. I inked up on layer with a light blue ink and dry embossed the second layer. Lastly I stamped a pair of sentiments from the Peak-a-Boo Flight Stamp Set.

P.S. Linking this card to the Cupcake Inspiration Challenge.

Rainbow Birthday Wishes | Lawn Fawnatics #116

Happy Sunday! Popping in quickly to share a quick, no stamping card inspired by the latest Lawn Fawnatics challenge – “Let’s Celebrate!“

This card was inspired by my “no buy” challenge along with Carly’s latest card.

To create this card, I started by inking up a A2 piece of Bristol Smooth card stock to create a rainbow using distress oxide inks (in Shaded Lilac, Salvage Patina, Twisted Citron, Spiced Marmalade, Abandoned Coral, Kitsch Flamingo).

Next I embossed an A2 card front using the Echo Park Stencil – Birthday Balloons and then die cut the Giant Happy Birthday die from Lawn Fawn. I backed the embossed, die cut sheet with some acetate, and using the positive die cut as a guide, I adhered the pieces to the acetate.

Lastly, I backed the shaker front with foam tape and filled it with star sequins and added the rainbow inked background.

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

Happy Crafting!

Monster Birthday! | Pretty Pink Posh

Happy end of Stamptember! It’s a big month for stamping and I was so excited to be able to join in for the first time! Incase you missed the posts, you can check them out here and here. After I bought literally everything this month, I have put myself on spending freeze, indefinitely! I know that I am going to end up breaking it for the Pretty Pink Posh winter release, so here I am trying to justify my most recent purchases from them! I used the Monster Hugs stamp set earlier in the month here and y’all loved it so much that I decided to put it out again for a cute-not-spooky birthday-not-halloween card! I am tempted to attempt an Halloween card, so maybe I’ll add that to my “to create” list!

To create this card, I started by stamping all the monsters from the Monster Hugs stamp set along with all the “accessories” from the Birthday Friends stamp set. I colored them using copic markers. You can see how I colored them here. And then die cut them using the coordinating dies, Monster Hugs and Birthday Friends.

Copic Combo : BG 10, 11, 13, 15; RV 21, 23, 25; V 01, 04, 05, 06, Y13, 15; YG 21, 23, 25; YR 01, 02, 04, 07

Next I die cut a stitched square using the Lawn Fawn Large Stitched Squares from white card stock, and dry embossed it using the Birthday Background Stencil. I die cut all three of the frames from the Stitched Photo Frames die set.

With a little masking, I stamped the sentiment from the Cupcake Critters stamp set on to the two larger frames. I adhered the frames and colored die cuts using a mix of foam tape and liquid adhesive to be able to layer the images and add some dimension. As usual I finished of the card with lots of jewels.

Faux Window Fall Cards | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! Hope y’alls week is off to a great start! Popping in today with some faux window cards using products from Newton’s Nook Designs and my favorite fall crafting product, Kraft paper!

To make today’s cards, I started by stamping the larger images from the Signs of Fall and the Paw-tumn Newton stamp sets on to heavy weight white card stock and colored them in using copic markers (and colored pencils for the Signs of Fall image). Once I was done coloring I die cut the images using coordinating die (Signs of Fall and Paw-tumn Newton).

To finish my first card, using the image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set, I started by dry embossing an A2 piece of Kraft card stock using the basketweave stencil. Then I die cut an offset window from the embossed card stock using the largest stitched circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. Next I stamped the Fall Roundabout to line up with die cut on the embossed card front on a A2 card base using brown ink. I added the die cut card front to the card base using foam tape to add dimension and create a faux window look. I added the colored image from the Paw-tumn Newton along with a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set embossed on a banner die cut from the Banner Trio Die Set. And lastly, I added some jewels!

Copic Combo : C1, 3, 5; B00, 02, 05; Y13, 15, YG03, 63, 67; E 13, 15, 37; YR04, 07, Y17

The second card I created is very similar, except that I used the Heart Frame Die Set along with the Heartfelt Fall stamp set.

After creating a similar faux window like my first card, I added the colored image from the Signs of Fall stamp set embossed with a sentiment from the Snowman Greetings stamp set (inspired by the fall porch decor!) and of course added jewels to finish off the card.

Copic Combo : C3, 5; YR04, 07, Y17; Y13, 15; YG03, 63; G21, 24; R08, 24; BG10 Polychoromos Pencil :

Embossed Shaker Birthday Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Happy Hump Day! I keep thinking it’s Tuesday, so I clearly need to get started on my extremely long to do list! So let’s keep it short and sweet here and get straight to the card!

This card is possibly my most CAS card yet! I love the end result and it was so quick and easy to make! Just make sure that you have heat resistant acetate!

To create this card, I started by dry embossing the small balloon stencil from Layering Balloons Stencils on to an A2 piece of white paper. Next I die cut the shadow die from the Birthday die cut set to create the shaker window. I heat embossed the word birthday from the Birthday stamp set with white embossing powder and the happy on to a strip of black card stock. I created the shaker window by layering the acetate behind the die cut window with liquid adhesive, and added lots of foam tape to create “box”, filled it with the latest fad, clay confetti! and backed it with an A2 piece of card stock. Lastly I added the strip sentiment to finish off the card!

I hope that this inspires you to create something crafty at the end of your day! If you do, and share on Instagram, be sure to tag me (@everydayengineered) and Honey Bee Stamps (@honeybeestamps)! We love to see what you create!

Shell-ebrate! | Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy Tuesday! We are hopefully at the tail end of a heat wave here in the PNW so we’ll be ‘shell-ebrating as soon as we aren’t boiling! I did manage to finish reading a book and make a card while staying at home!

I love combining old and new products when making cards, here I paired the newly released Seashell Roundabout stamp set with the retiring Narly Mermaids Stamp Set, coordinating Narly Mermaids Die Set and the Tropical Fish Stencil (which are on sale!! So its a great time to add to cart!).

To create this card, I started by dry embossing the Tropical Fish Stencil on to the card base. Next I heat embossed in white, the Seashell Roundabout image and ink blended with blue and die cut it into a square. I heat embossed the sentiment from the same stamp set onto a stitched rectangle die cut and ink blended it with the same blue as the previous piece. Lastly, I copic colored the narwhale and the fishes from the Narly Mermaids Stamp Set, die cut them using the coordinating Narly Mermaids Die Set. and added some jewels as a finishing touch!

I hope this card inspires you to create something! 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!

Sneak Peaks Day 4 | Honey Bee Stamps

It’s time again for a brand new release from Honey Bee Stamps! Today’s the last day of sneak peaks!

I’ve really been trying to experiment with different card making styles, so today I made a no stamp AND no coloring card, surprised?? Y’all know that I love ALL the color and ALL the layers, so this was definitely out of my comfort zone!

To create this card, I started my dry embossing the die cuts from the Lovely Layer : Hydrangeas, randomly arranging them on an A2 piece of white card stock to create a textured background.

To finish off the card, I die the “happy birthday” (in black) and the shadow in vellum from the Bitty Buzzwords die cuts.

I hope that this inspires you to create something crafty at the end of your day! If you do, and share on Instagram, be sure to tag me (@everydayengineered) and Honey Bee Stamps (@honeybeestamps)! We love to see what you create!
