Newtons Nook Designs June Release - Day 3

Welcome to day 3 of the June Release for Newtons Nook Designs.  Today, we are featuring  "Vegetable Garden" stamp set.  This set is great for recipe cards and gifts! For this card I did some messy watercoloring. I stamped the carrots with Archival Ink. Then playfully watercolored them, not staying in the lines is the best part! lol. 

I layered it with some matching green card stock and topped with some black and white washi tape. For the sentiment I used a die cut from the "Garden Window Dies".

Love you more

Happy Tuesday!!  Today, I have created an adorable card featuring the "Love You More" stamp set from My Style Stamps.  Check out the entire stamps set here.  

I created the background with some watercolor paper and Distress Sprays. I love how they blend together so easily.  I colored the whales with Copic markers and added light spots to them for texture. 

Then, I die cut the waves out of some vellum and layered them with the whales. Topped it off with hears and some bling bubbles. 

Be sure to head on over to the My Style Stamps Facebook Group and share your creations!

Happy New Year and welcome to the January Release from Newton's Nook Design. Today, we are introducing "Hoppy Days".  This set has everything to do with animals that HOP! I love my frogs so I decided to get all inky with this guy.

Paws of Love

Hey there!  Today, I am showcasing a brand new stamp set called "Paws of Love" from My Style Stamps.  This set is great for the dog lovers in your life! The puppy is large and perfect to color in with all types of coloring mediums. 

For the background I used my favorite Distress Sprays and some white Mr. Hueys to splatter some spots for a nighttime snowy backdrop. 

I hope you enjoyed my card for today. Be sure to "LIKE" My Style Stamps Facebook Page and join in on the fun in the MSS Group!

I'm Stuck On You

Hey there!!!  I just wanted to share a sneak peek at a new stamp set from My Style Stamps that is coming soon! Isn't this a cute couple??  

This is essentially a one layer card.  I just backed it on a sturdy card base. I copic colored the plants and distress inked the background with a MSS Landscape Stencil. 

Be sure to head on over to the My Style Stamps Store soon to get your hands on this stamp set and other new releases soon!

I Love You Venti Much

Hello my crafty friends! Today, I bring you a one layer card.  Yes, I know these are my nemesis. It's so hard to not play with patterned paper, enamel dots, sequins and more!  But, I wanted to keep practicing my coloring skills. Even though the frozen drink from the Coffee Lovers set is super easy to color.  

I used Copic Markers to color the frozen drink, stamped the little heart in Spun Sugar Distress Ink and finished it off with Heidi Swapp Spray and Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Pen.  Oh yeah, I chopped the corners off with a We R Memory Keepers Corner Chomper. 

Please, be sure to check out the My Style Stamps Facebook page for more inspiration! We also love to see what you create, so be sure to post it up! 

Thanks for stopping by!

You Stole My Heart

Hello there!!!  Valentine's Day is coming up and I am bringing you a funny Valentine's card for anyone in your life featuring Newton's Nook Designs Stamps! 

First, off I started using the T-Rex from Prehistoric Pals...I know. I just can't get enough of this guy and his little arms!!!!  I thought it would be cute to make him hold a giant heart from Wild About Zoo and use the sentiment from Sweetheart Tails that matched perfectly. I colored him with Bic Mark It Pens for a change. Since they don't blend well I used some dots to add texture and shading.     

I added a star background with pearlecent embossing paste on some patterned paper and a couple of enamel dots.  For the grass I used a die from MFT and spritzed it with some Heidi Swapp Spray for some more texture and dimension.   

You can find the stamps sets I used from Newton's Nook Designs at the links below. 

-Prehistoric Pals  (On sale right now)

-Wild About Zoo

-Sweet Heart Tails

A crabby I love you

Hey everyone!!! I am here today with an entry for Mama Elephant.  I just love the colors of the photo inspiration challenge, don't you?  So I dug out my stamps and the ideas started flowin!  When I looked at the crab it reminded me of John Cusack in the movie "Say Anything", when he holds the boom box above his head to profess his love.  I decided instead of the boom box the crab (a girl) would hold her heart in the air.  Super cute right?  

I used some Beach Sand Embossing Powder and some distress ink and watercolored the background to mimic the sea or the sky (however you want to look at it). I sprinkled some Heidi Swap Color Shine for some added fun! 

Materials:
Mama Elephant Stamps
-Cosmic Stars
-Love Quotes
Sprinkle and Sparkle Embossing Powder
Distress Ink
Sequins
Queen & Co. Pearls
Staz On Ink
Heidi Swapp Color Shine

Happy Stampin!

Now that I finally have some time to get scrappy again! I decided to play along with Sweet Stamp Shop's Use What you Have Challenge!  I really love that recently they give you some inspirational to go by if you want to.  I choose to use the color palate on the left. I wasn't found of the yellow color until I resized its GOLD. The girl in the photo is wearing a chunky gold bracelet. Of course my light bulb went off and was like. OK, I can do this!

So, I rummaged through my stash, I have a TON of 6 x 6 patterned paper and I NEED to use it up! Yes, I keep hitting up TJ Maxx when they have the pads on sale for $2.99. *I'm weak*.  So, I found some pads that had the colors in the photo and went to it!  I used Sweet Stamp Shop's "Chalkboard Sayings" and used the new technique of chalkboard stamping and  WHAM! I love it! I am totally going to do a video on this technique stay tuned !
