Newtons Nook Designs May Release - Day 1

Welcome to Day one of the Newtons Nook Designs May Release! This weeks releases are amazing and I hope you come back each day this week to see a new stamp set.  Today, we are show casing "Happy Little Thoughts" and the coordinating Die Set. 

I was inspired by the sentiments a decided to make a book mark. First, I watercolored my background , you can use any of your favorite watercoloring mediums. I allowed it to air dry for best results. Then, I coated the book mark with an anti static powder to make sure no embossing powder when stray. It also tells me if the watercoloring was completely dry.  I stamped my images with versa mark ink and coated with Gold Embossing Powder.

  

For some pizzaz, I edged the bookmark with a boarder punch from my stash. (remember those things?).  To finish, it off I added some white ric rac.  I hope you enjoyed my project. 

Would you like to win the “Happy Little Thoughts” Stamp Set?
This set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Newton's Nook Design's August Release - Day 1

 Welcome to the August Release for Newton's Nook Designs!!! Today, we are featuring the new set "Hanging Around".  It features a bunch of fun animals just hanging around!!! Even Newton gets in on the action!!  Would you like to WIN this new set?? Be sure to read the details at the bottom of the post.

For this card I decided to heat emboss all my stamping on the background to keep the water coloring where it needs to stay.  I colored the Koala image with copics and fussy cut him out.  I then added some White Wink of Stella Glitter Pen to the clouds.  I LOVE how it looks!!!  For the sentiment I embossed some Green Glitter Embossing Powder on to a piece of vellum.  Then I stitched it on with a sewing machine for some extra detail. 

For my second card I decided to use the cute Opossum!  Isn't he just adorable?

Quick Tip!  For the background I stamped the cloud, then turned the stamp over and inked up the solid side of the stamp for a different look!  Then Inked the edges with some distress ink to complete the sky look.

I used some thin wafer dies to cut out the green piece of paper in a wonky shape. (You totally could cut that on a regular paper cutter)  I then Added a strip of orange paper and some woodgrain washi tape, to keep with the outdoors-y feel.  To Top it off I added some Kraft Twine. 




Would you like to win “Hanging Around” ? This set will be given away to TWO lucky winners! 

Here's how to win:

Newtons Nook Deisgn's February Release - Day 2

Welcome back for day two of Newton's Nook Design's February Release Week!  Today, we are going to look at Tweet Talk.  I colored up some of the cute bird houses with some watercolors. For a fun, soft, spring time look. 

For my second card I broke out my sewing machine and made my own shaker card.  That was my first time sewing on a card.  I tired in the past with the smaller sewing machines made for paper crafting and they just didn't work right.

Here is a close up of the shaker card. I just LOVE the sequins inside!

Newtons Nook Design's February Release - Day 1

Hello my ladies!!!!!  I am super excited to announce Newton Nook Design's February Release!!!!!  Featuring Winston the bear!  I am so thrilled to officially have a name for this cute lovable bear!

Here is my card for the release featuring Winston's Birthday.  I decided to make a masculine birthday card.  This would work for any child or guy in your life.

For My second card I got a bit messy and used  a stencil with some Heidi Swapp Sprays.  I tried to gradient the spray by using Black and a Silver. 

I really lie the way it turned out even though it bled a little bit beyond the stencil.  Some times you just have to work with your mistakes or mishaps.  :-)

Triangle Style

This set is very versatile! I used it on a layout of my Sweet dachshund Sidney when he was a baby. I paired it with a few older sets by Sweet Stamp Shop for an amazing design! 

Here, I created a fun background with the triangles and made a cluster for the sentiment.  The possibilities are endless with this set, it just goes with EVERYTHING!

 

*Ring* Ring* Ring* Gobble Gobble Gobble....Did someone call the Turkey Hotline?  This has to be the best stamp set for Project Life for the upcoming holiday season!!! I can see it used on PL Cards, layouts, and more!  Here I stamped the 1-800 #'s on vellum (very trendy again!).  Then I inked up the turkey with stamp markers, which gave him a bit of a watercolor look. 

Turkey Hotline
