welcome to the Newton's Nook Designs October release!

check out what we're working with today: Evergreen Frame Die Set, Merry Christmas Die Set, Holiday Cheer Die Set, Christmas Word Trio, Christmas Basics Paper Pad

you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on October 18, right here!

both of my cards use the new Evergreen Frame Die Set!
my first card also uses the new Merry Christmas Die Set - LOOOOOVE these new sentiment dies!

I die cut out the evergreens two times, and then watercolored with Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles. I also watercolored the background in pinks and corals using Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold. then I splattered some white acrylic ink on top of everything!

the sentiment was die cut in black cardstock, and then layered on top of some vellum! love that subtle look! I also die heat embossed the santa's sleigh image from the adorable Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set.

 

 

I finished the card by using the white frame to complete the whole scene!

my second card uses the Evergreen Frame Die Set with the new Christmas Word Trio die set!

 

 

again, the beautiful evergreens were die cut from white cardstock, then I used Distress Oxide Inks to add color! I used Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron for the trees. for the sky, I used Uncharted Mariner, Blueprint Sketch and Peacock Feathers.

then I used white embossing paste and the Petite Snow Stencil set to add some texture and pops of white! I also added it to the sentiment!

I die cut the snowflakes from the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set and then added the same color as the JOY letters: Picked Raspberry and Dried Marigold.

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #181 - Awesome Autumn

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

yay!    

my favorite time of year and my favorite challenge site!

there's nothing more cozy, than a fall-themed challenge! and I LOVE this theme!

I stamped the images from You Autumn Know, Let's Go Nuts and A Bug Deal. then I colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. I also added some details with a white gel pen. I had originally decided to mix the colors of the leaves on each branch, but then I decided to color match the leaves to the background blending! 

 

 

and speaking of blending! I used Distress Oxide Inks in Candied Apple, Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberries and Squeezed Lemonade. I love those colors for fall!

 

once the leaves were added to the branches, I used the Fall Leaves Background Stencils and some white embossing paste to add some texture and fun details to the cluster of leaves! so fun!

   
the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then cut into a strip.

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!

enjoy!

 

heartfelt roses and thanks!

hello!
today I have a card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog! and hopefully it will start your week off on the right foot!
I used the beautiful, Heartfelt Roses Stamp Set for my card! I heat embossed the image onto white cardstock and then used Distress Inks to ink blend around it.

I used Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberries and Dried Marigold Distress Inks to add the color. then I die cut it out with the Heart Frames Die Set. then I die cut out some butterflies using the Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set and stitched them on with my sewing machine! I love the dimension those butterflies add to the card.
and, I even resisted splattering any water or white acrylic ink on top! lol!

for the cardbase, I used some dark green cardstock and Black Soot Distress Ink to add some darkness around the edges. then I used some white embossing paste and the Trailing Leaves Stencil to add some texture!

I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. then I used the Banner Trio Die Set to die cut out the sentiment!

I love how this came out - and the colors are super unique to me!
hope you like it too!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #160 - Inspired By Your Favorite Holiday Song or Movie

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

yay! 

this is my favorite challenge! there are so many holiday movies and songs that are my favorite and I LOOOOOVE!
this time, I chose the movie Elf!

I stamped and colored the images from Penguin Party, Critters in the Arctic and Holiday Helpers with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I fussy cut them out with a white border.
Then once they were dry, I added details with a white gel pen.

  

The background was created with Distress Oxide Inks in Black Soot, Iced Spruce and Lost Shadow. then I used some Fairy Dust Paste to add snowflakes with the Snowflake Background Stencils! I also added the sparkly paste to the tops of the mountains die cut with the Stitched Mountains Borders.

 

 


I created the sentiment with Henry’s ABCs dies and heat embossed it in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock.

I really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
