Newton's Nook Designs x Therm-O-Web Inspiration Week

Hello, lovelies!

This week Newton's Nook Designs and Therm O Web are partnering for fabulous Fall, Halloween and Christmas inspiration! All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to use Therm O Web products with Newton's Nook Designs stamps! 

I made 3 cards with each theme so this is going to be a photo-heavy post so let's get started!

First up is my favorite holiday of all, Halloween!

And I made a pretty spooky card, too!

The very first thing I did was to try out the Therm-O-Web Deco Foil Black Velvet Flock Transfer Sheets to create this spooky background using the NND Flying Bats Stencil. My bats are all fuzzy and so velvety, I simply LOVE how they came out!

I stamped this cute trio in their costumes from the NND Halloween Trio Stamp Set right on the front panel then added tons of shadow with black colored pencil. It was so much fun to color them looking frightened and spooky (even though I am such a chicken, I can't even handle horror movies! LOL). Below them is my heat embossed sentiment, I know it doesn't look great there but scroll down...;-)

It glows in the dark 👽

I LOVE it!

My fall card is for Thanksgiving.

For this one, I tried the Therm-O-Web Deco Foil Metallix Gel, can you see how creamy and shimmery and gorgeous they are in their jars!!? They look absolutely YUM!!! 💗

I created this gorgeous background using the NND Tree Rings Stencil.

I applied the Champagne Mist Metallix Gel to create the rings inside first, then used the Aged Copper Metallix Gel for the rim. They are really creamy and spread beautifully, it was really easy to work with! Once they're dry, look how beautiful! 

I wasn't sure which fall stamp set to use so I flipped through my NND stash and why not Thanksgiving!? This adorable image is from the Newton's Cornucopia Stamp Set. I stamped it on watercolor paper, did no-line coloring, then die cut using the coordinating die. I like to color in general but fall images especially pumpkins are my favorite things to color!

The sentiment was heat embossed with orange EP on vellum and it was fussy cut, then popped on over the cornucopia. I do love my sequins but this one didn't need any, it already has enough shimmer!

And here is my very first Christmas card of the year!

For this one, I tried the Gina K. Designs Glitz Glitter Gel.

I created this background using the NND Cascading Stars Stencil and the TOW Gina K. Designs Gold Glitz Glitter Gel. It looks just like heat embossing, right? But it was much easier and faster to do using the Glitz Glitter Gel! They have so many colors, I need to order more myself!!!

Now choosing one Chrismas Image was hard but for this card, the Newton's Candy Cane Set stopped me from flipping through my NND stash further. I love red with light blue for Christmas cards! I made this kitty a light gray tuxedo because #1 I LOVE tuxie cats! #2 light color wouldn't disturb my red & blue color scheme. After coloring my kitty, he was die cut using the coordinating die. 

Instead of a sentiment, I die cut "HO HO HO" using one of the confetti dies from the Ornament Shaker Die Set from red foil sheet. I added the foil red and white candy cane stripe washi tape on the side to really tie the whole look together. 

Super easy but super cute and fun, don't you agree!!? ;-)

Newton's Nook Designs & therm-o-web Inspiration Week

Hello,, my friends!

This week Newton's Nook Designs and Therm-O-Web are partnering for a fabulous inspiration week! All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to add fun foils and more to your cards using Therm-O-Web products with Newton's Nook Designs stamps! There are prizes too! Read all the way to the end of this post to find out how you can win!

So I made 2 totally different cards today!

Therm-O-Web let us pick some of their fabulous products to play with for this week's collaboration (thank you so much! 💕) and this Brutus Monroe Designer Toner Sheets-Distress Circles was the first item I chose! These toner sheets are acetate sheets with designs printed with toner, and all you need to do is run it through a laminator with a deco foil sheet on top. I foiled this one with Silver Deco Foil Transfer Sheet to make it look like snow ;-)

This beautiful fox couple image is from the Fox Hollow Set, one of my all-time favorites 💛 
It was stamped with Light Gray Archival Ink on watercolor paper, I did what I call "sloppy watercoloring" meaning I basically threw colors on the image and didn't care if I went outside the lines ;-) It gives this imperfect and very soft look and I simply love it! When it was all nice and dry, I die cut it with the Coordinating Die Set. 

I stamped this sweet little sentiment with blue inks to match the fox's scarf, but the blue I used wasn't even close to the scarf {LOL}, so I stamped it again with a different hue BUT only about 1/3 of the sentiment to give an ombre-ish finish. 

I adhered the Iridescent Deco Foil Transfer Sheets on white cardstock and die cut 2 pieces of hills using the Land Borders Die Set. Then I also die cut some birch trees and pine trees using the Forest Scene Builder Die Set, mounted everything (except the lower hill piece) right on the base card, added my distress circle toner sheet, then the hill and the fox couple. 

This card was put together fairly quickly because I used leftover pieces from the previous projects ;-)
This gorgeous red foil background is the negative piece from THIS CARD. For this card, this piece was only slightly bigger than A2 size so I trimmed off 1/8" from 1 horizontal side and 1 vertical side, wrapped the excess over on the back and just taped the 4 sides with scotch tape. It was kind of like wrapping a present with a fancy wrapping paper! ;-)  

I had this sentiment from the Ornamental Wishes Set heat embossed with gold EP on acetate sheet that was die cut using the Ornament Shaker Die Set, I made this for the October Release but ended up not using it. The acetate by itself on the foiled background made the sentiment hard to see so I die cut another ornament from this jade cardstock and tucked it behind the acetate sheet. Isn't the jade beautiful against the red!? 

My pretty little bow was made with the Gina K. Designs Gingham Fancy Ribbon, I just LOVE this gorgeous ribbon! I also used the Gina K. Designs Premium Cardstock Luxury White on both of my cards today. They're really really smooth, I bet they're perfect for coloring, too!   

There are more amazing projects today over on the Therm O Web blog so pop over there for more inspiration!

Therm-O-Web Gina K. Designs StampnFoil Holiday Release

Hello, lovelies!

I have another card to share that is showcasing the Therm-O-Web Gina K. Designs StampnFoil Holiday Release products!

I think today's card turned out to be better than I originally planned!
Since I'm such a rebel {LOL}, I do like to come up with non-traditional Christmas card designs!

This sentiment is from the Holly Jolly Stamp Set, which was heat embossed on vellum and fussy cut. The pine image is also from the same set, it was heat embossed with Iridescent Ice EP then die cut using the Coordinating Die. 

I used one of the Gina K. Designs Foil-Mates Backgrounds Holiday Flora. All I needed to do was trim it down to the size I wanted, which is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", then ran it through the laminator with the Gina K. Designs Fancy Foils Red Velvet. Isn't it beautiful!? I also added the Gingham Fancy Ribbon, and I am LOVING it!

This whole design started with the Gingham Fancy Ribbon, I just had to use it!
And I sure love making messy ruffles with my ribbons! Then I like to pile up lots and lots of things such as stamped images, embellishments, die-cut pieces, etc... pretty much anything you can think of!



Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it!

Therm-O-Web Gina K. Designs StampnFoil Holiday Release

Hello, lovelies!

So last week, I received this Email from Julia at Therm-O-Web asking me if I'd like to make a few projects with some of their new Holiday Release! Well, of course, I said YES! Ever since the Newton's Nook Designs and Therm-O-Web collaboration (click HERE to see my post!), foiling has become one of my favorite techniques to use ;-) I was beyond thrilled to open the happy mail from them!

Not the most flattering looking photo (SORRY!) but you can see what they sent me 💙 Isn't this simply beautiful!? 😍 Thank you so very much, Therm-O-Web!

Okay, here is my first project using the new Gina K. Designs StampnFoil Holly Jolly Set ;-)

I am not ready for Christmas personally {LOL} but this beautiful new set certainly inspired me!

(I am not a great photographer, and photographing shiny things is even more difficult! So I apologize for this "meh😑" photo...)

I should have taken some "making of" pictures! These Foil-Mates Detail Sheets are really quite clever and the results you get is simply gorgeous like these poinsettias! HERE is the video by Gina K. demonstrating the products if you want to see how fun and easy it is! I stamped the poinsettia image from the Holly Jolly Stamp Set onto the outline image on the Detail Sheet with Distress Ink Candied Apple (I like that slightly faded red just like the real poinsettias), die cut them using the Coordinating Die, and foiled them with the Gina K. Designs Gold Sequins Fancy Foil. I LOVE how it reflects different colors other than gold! 

Isn't this such a sweet little image!? This was also included in the Holly Jolly Detail Sheets so I just had to ink it up and foil it using the same process as the poinsettias. 

I wanted to make a shaker, but instead of using the plain acetate sheet for it, I used this toner sheet that was foiled with the Gina K. Designs Fancy Foil Jelly Bean Green. I LOVE this gorgeous yellow-green color 💚 

I thought foiling the sentiment with this beautiful Gina K. Designs Fancy Foil Turquoise Sea would add a nice contrast to this red/green/gold card ;-)

Thank you so much for stopping by!
Hope you enjoyed it!

I'll be back with more projects using the new Therm-O-Web Gina K. Designs StampnFoil Holiday Release!
