Newtons Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge #38

Happy Friday!!!  It's time for another Inky Paws Challenge by Newtons Nook Designs.  I just love the color combo for this challenge. That pop of teal with traditional holiday colors is amazing.   

For this card I paper pieced Newton from the Sweater Weather set.  I haven't done that in a long time, I decided to bring back on old technique. I kept Newton white and added some light grey shadows to him.  I also dug out another oldie...remember Stickles? Yep, I dug mine out to add a glittery snow hill to my scene.  Sometimes it's nice to use old stuff and remember why you bought it in the first place. 

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you play along in the Inky Paws Challenge.

Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of Newtons Nook Designs Holiday Release. Today, we are showcasing Ornamental Newton and Festive Forest.    Ornamental Newton is a great set to feature an action wobble!  Which I did. I colored up Newton with copic markers and used the coordinating dies to purr-featly cut him out.  I embossed the metallic card stock and added some washi tape to keep the focus on Newton. 

We are also showcasing Festive Forest and matching dies. This set is amazing!  It's great for cards, tags, bags and more! I ended up stamping the trees out in several different greens and thew in a pop of silver. I die cut them out with the coordinating dies and had me a card in a few minutes!

Newtons Nook Designs September Release - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of the September Release for Newtons Nook Designs! Today, we are featuring "Newtons Boo-tiful Night".  What is silly Newton up to now?  

I colored up this kitty to look like my cat Nash you can follow him on Instagram @MrNashCat ;-) 

I just love making these backgrounds they are so quick and easy.  I grabbed my favorite Distress Stain Spray and regular card stock.  It soaks up the spray for a quick background.  This time I added some Lindys Stamp Gang Starburst Sprays for a good shimmer. 

Witch one is your favorite Newton? lol

Newtons Nook Designs - 3 Year Celebration - Day 4

Welcome to Day 4 of Newtons Nook Designs 3 year celebration bash! Today, we are featuring "Aloha Newton".  I snuck in some other stamp sets into this card too from earlier in the week. Let's see if you can figure them out. ;-) 

I colored up this girlie Newton to look like a calico kitty. I might have placed her in a bed of pineapple heads! lol  Looks like pretty good grass to me.  For the background I used the sploosh technique with distress stains for a fun water look. 

We are also featuring the "Hibiscus" Die, which coordinated well with all the sets released this week. I kept this card CAS (Clean and Simple) to really show off the die cut.

Boo!

Hey there!!!  Today, I am bringing you a super cute Halloween card featuring Newtons Nook Designs Stamps!  This one is an oldie but a goody!!!  I used the cute Ghost Newton from the "Boo Crew" stamp set. I guess it's not too early to start making Halloween cards since August is almost over.  

I started off with a Jillibean soup paper pad that I found at Tuesday Morning. Which means it's last years paper...but, who cares right? Still cute??!!   I cut a few on a diagonal and covered the front of the card base.  I left a small portion blank for the sentiment.  I decided I wanted Newton to scare you and peek out of the card. With a circle punch, I created this peek a boo area. To finish it off I used some twine and a few sequins. 

I hope you have enjoyed my card and head on over to Newton's Nook Designs for other Halloween stamp sets to get your paws inky!

Newtons Nook Designs February Release - Day 2

Welcome to Day 2 of the February Release for Newton's Nook Designs.  I am super excited about this set. Because, I can totally relate as any cat momma would.  Introducing Naughty Newton!!!  Though I am renaming it Naughty Nash because Naughty is his middle name. I love love love this set!!!  

Ok, on to the card.  I have been seeing so much foiling since CHA, I decided to dust off the old technique (yes, it's nothing new). I placed lines of sticky strip down, peeled of the backer and placed the foil down.  I gently rubbed it all over, then pulled back the foil to reveal the glowing masterpiece you see below.  

Quick Tip: You can use Sticky Embossing Powder to do the same technique to stamped images.  Just stamp in versa mark, then apply the sticky embossing powder, heat, then apply foil, rub, and peel off. 

Would you like to win “Naughty Newton"? This set will be given away to TWO lucky winners! 

Here's how to win:
