Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Day 4 – Newton’s Rainy Day Trio and Daffodils + coordinating Dies

February 18, 2021February 17, 2021 Engineered Baker

Welcome back for Day 3 of reveal week at Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we are showcasing the Rainy Day Trio and Daffodils stamp set and coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired.

Save the best for last, right! These two sets are my favorite from the release!

For my first card, I made a slimline card using the new Daffodils stamp set. I colored them using copic markers and die cut them. Then using the Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set and Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set, I die cut a white scalloped rectangle along with squares out of green pattern paper. For the center of the card, before stamping the sentiment, I layered the Slimline Masking Circles & Squares Stencil Set along with the Petite Flowers Stencil and inked it up with some yellow ink. Lastly, I added the daffodils with some foam tape and a few sequins.

For my second card, I colored the Newton’s Rainy Day Trio stamp set using zig real brush markers in a rainbow manner, die cut and set it aside. To create the background, I started by embossing a light blue piece of cardstock using the Raindrops Stencil, then I used the same stencil to ink up a piece of vellum with blue pigment ink and quickly added glitter embossing powder before the ink dried. I embossed the sentiment and die cut the vellum using a scalloped circle from the Circle Frames Die Set.

February 17, 2021February 16, 2021 Engineered Baker

Welcome back for Day 3 of reveal week at Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we are showcasing the Baa stamp set and coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired.

To create this card, I stamped, copic colored and die cut all the sheep from the Baa stamp set (one didn’t fit on the card!). The I create a inked cloud background using tumbled glass distress ink and the Clouds Stencil. Then I die cut circles from the Circle Frames die set, and inked them using the Hills & Grass Stencil and mowed lawn distress ink.

Good Morning and welcome to day 4 of Sneak Peaks for the Spring Bliss release from Honey Bee Stamps.

Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Day 2 – Hoppy Greetings and Hare Mail + coordinating Dies

February 16, 2021February 15, 2021 Engineered Baker

Welcome back for Day 2 of reveal week at Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we are showcasing the Hoppy Greetings and Hare Mail stamp set and coordinating Dies. Here’s how I was inspired.

For both my cards, I wanted the images from the Hoppy Greetings and Hare Mail to be the focus of the card, so didn’t add to much to the background.

For my first card using the Hoppy Greetings stamp set, I stamped, die cut and added a little shading to the bunny and colored the grass and flower. Then I paper pieced the ‘sign’ with some woodgrain pattern paper and heat embossed the sentiment. To create the background I used light blue card stick and did a little tone on tone ink blending with the Clouds Stencil to create a sky and using the Hills & Grass Stencil I traced and cut a hill out of pattern paper and inked on some grass.

For my second card, I did a little ink smooshing to create a watercolor rainbow on watercolor paper trimmed down using the scallop rectangle from , and added the bunny from Hare Mail stamp set. I used a sentiment from the Hoppy Greeting to finish off the Frames & Flags Die Set.

Would you like to win the “Hoppy Greetings” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Spring Bliss Release Sneak Peak Day 3 | Honey Bee Stamps

February 15, 2021February 15, 2021 Engineered Baker

Good Morning and welcome to day 3 of Sneak Peaks for the Spring Bliss release from Honey Bee Stamps.

Today I stepped out of my comfort zone and used layering dies! Maybe one day I’ll use layering stamps too!

I started by diecutting all the pieces of both the flowers, along with the leaves from the Lovely Layers: Easter Lily die set from white cardstock. Then I ink blended them to add color (using distress oxides in spun sugar, festive berries, moved lawn, scattered straw and black soot) and dimension before layering them.

I didn’t want to take away from the flowers, so I kept the rest of the card simple, adding the leaves and lilies to a kraft background, and finishing off with a sentiment from the Spring Joy Bouquet stamp set.

Thanks for stopping by! Make sure to head on over to Instagram for more inspiration!

Happy Crafting!

Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Day 1 – Spring Roundabout, Basketweave and Bunny Tails Stencils

February 15, 2021February 11, 2021 Engineered Baker

Happy Monday! It’s 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 Spring Roundabout (works with Circle Frames & Banner Trio Dies) & Basketweave and Bunny Tails Stencils. Here’s how I was inspired!

For my first card I used the Spring Roundabout stamp set to create a shaker card, along with the Basketweave Stencil.

I started by heat embossing the roundabout image with white embossing powder onto heat resistant acetate. Then I used some pattern paper along with the largest two circles from the Circle Frames to create a ‘frame’ for the shaker, I glued it to the acetate, added foam tape and filled it with some sequins that match the pattern paper. Lastly, before adhering the shaker part directly to the card base, I dry embossed the Basketweave Stencil to the kraft card base.

For my second card, I heat embossed the bunny stencil onto some white card stock with white embossing powder. (I just smooshed my ink pad onto the paper with the stencil attached to it.) Then I ink blended (using distress oxides) in a little pastel rainbow, make sure to buff your cardstock after ink blending so the embossing pops! Lastly I added a sentiment from the Spring Roundabout stamp set on to a banner die cut using the Banner Trio Dies.

Spring Bliss Release Sneak Peak Day 1 | Honey Bee Stamps

February 13, 2021February 11, 2021 Engineered Baker

Good Morning and welcome to day 1 of Sneak Peaks for the Spring Bliss release from Honey Bee Stamps.

I used the Easter Basket Builder stamp set, along with the coordinating dies to create my card today. Anyone that knows me, knows that I LOVE florals! So of course I chose the florals to add to my basket.

Copic Combos : E37-15-13, RV 21-13, Y13, G21-24, G12-03

I started by stamping the basket and floral bunch from the Easter Basket Builder stamp with brown copic friendly ink, leaving the stamps in my stamp positioner. I colored and then heat embossed them with gold embossing powder, and die cut with with the coordinating dies.

Before adding my image to my card base, I dry embossed it using the Basketweave Background Stencil. Finally I added a sentiment with gold embossing on black card stock from the Hoppy Easter stamp set.

Happy Crafting!

Today’s the last reveal day at Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we are showcasing the Newton’s Mug & Love Café stamp sets and coordinating dies. These to sets might be my favorite cause we all know how I love my coffee!

For this pair of cards, I wanted to show a easy way to ‘color’ and as you can see, a more elaborate way!

For my first card using the Newton’s Mug stamp set, I did a little paper piecing to add color to the mug, I thought the little balls on the paper look like yarn ball and will work perfectly with Newton! For the background of the card, I embossed the card front using the Mugs Stencil, then I embossed the heart from the Heartfelt Love stamp set. I die cut it using the scallop heart from the Heart Frames die set and trimmed off the ‘scallops’.

For the second card, I stamped the pair of the mugs from the Love Cafe stamp set to cover a A2 panel and colored them using copic markers. I embossed the sentiment from the Love Cafe stamp set on to some vellum and die cut it using a frame from the Frames Squared Die Set and adhered it over the corner were I messed up my coloring!
