Hi everyone! I am so excited to share the Day 2 reveal for the Newton's Nook Design's February Release. Today we have 2 new stamp sets and coordinating dies: Hoppy Greetings and Hare Mail.

For my first card stamped, embossed and colored the adorable new image from Hoppy Greetings stamp set using Copic markers.  Using the new Basketweave stencil I dry embossed my card panel for some texture. I just love the way this new stencil!! 

To add some more color I used some fun Spring patterned papers from Doodlebug Designs and embellished with some iridescent sequins.

For my second card I stamped and embossed the post mark with white embossing powder across the heart from the Heart Frames Die set. I inked the background using Distres Inks. I used the new Bunny Tails stencil to dry emboss the bunny onto my card layer. Using the second stencil I added the tails with some sparkly Nuvo Glimmer Paste. I just love that background!!

Newton's Nook Designs February Release Day 1

Hi everyone! I am so excited to share the Day 1 reveal for the Newton's Nook Design's February Release. Today we have the new Spring Roundabout Stamp set that coordinates with the Circle Frames Die Set and the Banner Trio Dies as well as the Basketweave Stencil and the Bunny Tails 2 piece Stencil Set. 

 Here is what I made:

I created an Easter card and tag set. First I stamped and embossed the Spring Roundabout stamp using white embossing powder to create the backgrounds. I ink blended them using Distress Inks in Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Wilted Violet, Tumbled Glass and Cracked Pistachio. Next I dry embossed the new Basketweave stencil to create the basket textured backgrounds on white cardstock for both the card and the tag using the Fancy Edges Tag Die set. I stamped and embossed the sentiments and cut them out with the Banner Trio Die. I cut four banners and used a partial diecutting technique in order to shorten the banners on the tag and then layered them over each other. 

I cut a circle out of the Basketweave stencil dry embossed panel and I also created a frame using the Circle Frames Die set to frame the stamped and inked background. I added the adorable bunny from the Bitty Bunnies stamp set and some iridescent sequins to complete my card.

Products used: Spring Roundabout Stamps, Circle Frame Dies, Fancy Edges Tag Die Set, Basketweave Stencil, Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set, Banner Trio Die Set

Distress Inks: Spun Sugar, Milled Lavender, Tumbled Glass, Wilted Violet, Cracked Pistachio

Espresso Your Love

Hi crafty friends! Today I am up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog sharing a fun coffee themed Valentine's Day card!!

I just adore this new Newton's Mug stamp set and I added some hearts to the mug from the Smitten Kittens and Love Emergency stamp sets. I colored the image using stamped and embossed image  using Copic markers and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Mug Die. I love how it cuts out the space in the handle! I added lots of sparkle to the hearts.

 For the background I used the largest die from the Framework Die set, Bristol Smooth cardstock and some Distress inks in Fired Brick, Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar. I blended them with an ombre' effect and stenciled some hearts using the Tumbling Hearts Stencil. The stamped and embossed sentiment is from the Love Cafe' stamps.  I splattered the background using water and some gold sparkly shimmer and adhered some iridescent sequins.

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog today! I hope you like my card. Have a great day :)
