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.

Gone to the Beach Love Santa

Happy Thursday!!!!  Today, I bring you a clean and simple holiday card.  This one is perfect for the warmer states. lol  I used the flip flops and sentiment from Sun Soaked Christmas.  It's been hot here in Florida we have only had a few days of cooler weather.  So it's safe to say, santa gone to the beach for sure.

I colored up the flip flops and paired it with some embossed vellum featuring a wave pattern.  I tore the edge of the vellum to mimic the way the ocean washes up on shore.  This card is easy to mass produce for the holidays. 

I hope you enjoyed my Clean and Simple card. Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Little Thoughts

I stepped out of the box for the holidays and used a few non holiday themed sets. Just to show you how versatile your collection can be to make a card.  I was just in love with the latest release that I wanted to showcase the owl again! I ended up cutting off the santa hat from a snowman on Frozen Friends. It fits perfectly on the howls head. 

For the background I embossed the wreath with gold powder to extra dimension. Then splattered the background with Distress Spray and Heidi Swapp mists. 

I hope you enjoyed my card and make some of your own.

Holiday Coffee Lovers Blog Hop Dec 2015

ACK!  I am so late with playing along!! So many things to do and yesterday was my birthday. Time is flying by. But, I finally got a card made. I have never missed a Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and don't plan to start! lol 

On this card I used some My Style Stamps, "White Christmas" and "Coffee Lovers". I found some old patterned paper and paper pieced the coffee cup and sleeve. 

For the background I just splattered several colors of sprays until I was satisfied. No scientific planning there! lol. I placed the chevron die cut to ground the cup added the tag with some Lawn Fawn Trimmings and called it a day. 

I hope you enjoyed my card! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Peace to all

Hey there! Happy December!  I hope you all are getting all your cooking making and shopping done!  I'm almost finished. I still have to get my Christmas cards in the mail!  I am still in awe of the latest Newtons Nook Designs stamp set, "Whispering Pines". I love the techniques you can achieve with a solid stamp.  

For, this one I inked it up in a green and grey, spritzed a light mist of water to get the colors to lightly blend (but, they didn't).  For the background I went to my go to Distress Sprays and Gold Heidi Swapp spray for the bottom. Topped the card off with some sequins for ornaments and tah-dah a card!

I hope you all have a happy holidays and give some Newton's Nook to the crafter in your family! It makes a great present! 

Thanks for stopping by!

Newtons Nook Designs November Release - Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of Newtons Nook Designs November Release! Today, we are showcasing "Jolly Tags". Which also comes with coordinating Purr-fect Dies. Which are very easy to use. With or without the stamp set.   I went ahead and stamped out the cute penguin, because by now you should know my obsession with them.  With a craft knife I hand cut out his tummy to make a window for a shaker element.  I used micro beads, and there are a few curse words to be said when using them.....lol   While they look great, the are have static and cling to everything and one wrong move and they spill everywhere.  

I can't wait to put this tag on a special package for that special someone! 

Would you like to win the new “Jolly Tags” stamp set?
This prize will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

Happy Holidays from Florida!

Happy Monday!!!!  I am here today with a FUN, WARM Card from Florida!!!  I have to say I would love some Cold Weather anytime now!!  I think we had maybe 4-5 days of cooler weather scattered about. UGH!!  Yep, were rocking flip flops and the air condition is on with the Christmas tree up!! 

I decided to create how I feel using Flirty Flamingos stamp set. It works perfectly for us Floridians.  I first, stamped the Flamingos in some Cherry Blossom Staz On Ink. I then covered them with a mask of post it tape and distress Inked the sunset. We have some beautiful sunsets in the winter time. Then I colored the flamingos with copic markers, they are easy to color since they are not very large.  For the beach I used gold glitter tape for a festive feel.

Next, I cut a circle out of some baby blue paper and added dots of snow with the snow marker....sigh....I wish it would snow....ok back to 80 Degree reality.  To complete the festive card I used the small santa hat and sentiment from Flaky Family (Currently Sold Out). But, the hats on Winston's Home for Christmas or Holiday Hounds would work too! 

Get your holiday shopping done at Newton's Nook Designs here. 

I hope this WARMED you up for the holiday's!!!  Feel free to send cold weather my way!!!  

Thanks for stopping by!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Holiday Hop

Welcome to the 2014 Newton's Nook Designs Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!  If you are just finding out about this hop you might want to start from the beginning at Newton's Nook Designs.   I can't believe the FABulous guest designers we have on the hop that I am jumping for joy and honored that they are on the hop.

Be sure to read all the way down for a chance to win store credit in the NND Shop! 

Now on to the project!!!  I really wanted to do something different and create an ornament for the occasion.  

First, I used Beacon Glitter Glue to coat the inside of the ornament with a clear glitter and let dry. Next, I decided to stamp the cute little penguin from Snow Day on to vellum with some Staz On Ink. With a steady hand you can get a great image that will not rub off!   Then I colored him with Faber Castell India Ink Markers they are permanent when dry.  Next is the tricky part....how do I adhere him on without seeing any glue.  This little guy fits in the Xyron "X" Sticker Maker and puts a nice thin coat of adhesive on the back. PERFECT!  

Then, I decided to use more Staz On Ink in Blue for the snowflakes.  The next hurdle was.....hmmmm.... I really want some snow on the ornament...I wonder if the Snow Pen or Liquid Applique will stick to the glass ornament???  Well, it DOES!!  You just have to do sections at a time so they don't dry before you hit them with the heat gun. 

ENTER to WIN!
