Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Day 4

April 18, 2024April 18, 2024 ~ safsafdesign ~ 14 Comments

Hello everyone,

It is always sad when we reach the final day of the reveals, but the good news is that all these adorable products in the Newton’s Nook Designs April Release will be available on Friday, 19/04! Today we are showcasing 2 new small stamp& die sets: Newton’s Bubble Tea and Puppy’s Bubble Tea. Aren’t they adorable?

CARD 1

For my first card I stamped and coloured the cute kitty from Newton’s Bubble Tea using Copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out.

While I was die cutting I cut the base for my shaker with the Basic Frames die set: one banner from kraft and one from guava cardstock. On the latter I die cut a window with another die from the same set. I stamped a sentiment just under the die cut window. I backed it with clear acetate and added thick foam tape around it. I filled the shaker with some pastel confetti (Pretty Pink Posh) and adhered the backing carefully.

For the background I used the Bubbles stencil on a cream note card with Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide ink.

To make the scene more playful, I added some red twine to the top of the card and another sentiment, which I have stamped on a white Speech Bubble. As a finishing touch I used glossy accents on the straw and the bubbles.

CARD 2

For the puppy card I stamped, coloured and die cut the image from Puppy’s Bubble Tea. I used Copic markers and made the tea green. I used the Basic Frames die set to cut a cornflower blue background for the dog and a bigger rectangle from woodgrain cardstock which I ink blended and splattered with black and white acrylic paint before adhering the focal panel on it.

I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp set on the woodgrain cardstock using Stazon ink.

For the background I chose the Woof stencil and used it directly on the card base with Pine Needles, Lucky Clover and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide inks.

As a finishing touch I added a few lime green confetti and used glossy accents on the straw and bubbles.

Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Day 3

April 17, 2024April 18, 2024 ~ safsafdesign ~ 17 Comments

Hello Everyone,

We are halfway through the Newton’s Nook Designs April Release reveals, which means it is only 2 days till the new goodies will be available in the store! YAY! Today we are showcasing a beautiful set: Cherry Blossoms, which comes with coordinating dies too.

All new designs will be available on 19/04/2024.

I created a card and bookmark set, a perfect gift for Mother’s Day. I started with stamping and colouring a bunch of flowers all at once as I had no idea how much I will need in the end. I used light pink Copic markers and added a bit darker strokes in the middle of each flower. I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out.

To build the background for the card I die cut the A2 Card Layout die from brown and cream cardstock and also cut a 4,25*5,5 inches piece of textured pink cardstock to be the mat. I adhered on it the brown frame first and paper pieced the 2 long cream rectangles. On the smaller rectangles I did some quick ink blending with Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide ink making sure that the edges are darker than the middle of the rectangles.

I adhered the cherry blossom branches using 3D foam squares and a couple of more little flowers too. I stamped the sentiment in the middle from the Best Mom Oval stamp set with brown ink.

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the middle of each flower.

For the bookmark I used the new Bookmark II die set to cut the base from cream cardstock. I like my bookmarks sturdy so I always make them double layer. In this way the stitching is pretty on both sides of the bookmark.

I adhered a few leftover brown rectangles randomly on the cream background before adhering a cherry blossom branch.

On the top I stamped a sentiment from the Best Mom Oval stamp set using colourful inks.

I used a pretty Gina K Designs ribbon and some Candy Cane twine to embellish the top.

Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Day 2

April 16, 2024April 16, 2024 ~ safsafdesign ~ 17 Comments

Hello Everyone,

It is day 2 of the Newton’s Nook Designs April Release reveals ad we are going florals today with the Floral Delights stamp and die set. I love the size of these flowers and all the colour variation we can use for both the daisies and echinacea.

All new designs will be available on 19/04/2024.

CARD 1

I started with stamping and colouring the echinacea twice using Copic markers. I used pink shades but made them slightly different. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

Then I die cut some coloured cardstock with the Frames and Tags dies and also added an in between white layer using the Basic Frames die set. I assembled the focal panel and inserted the flowers between the layers.

I used one of the leftover green rectangles to hold the sentiment, which I stamped from the Best Mom Oval stamp set. I added a little shading to the edges using Mowed Law Distress Oxide ink. I adhered it in place and embellished it with a cute butterfly.

For the background I chose a pretty striped patterned paper from the Pastel Basics paper pad. As a finishing touch I added a few pink pearls (Pretty Pink Posh)

CARD 2

As always I stamped, coloured and die cut a daisy and a few bees, I used Copic markers for the colouring. I love that the coordinating dies cut the little holes in between the flowers! I tied a little bow on the stems and adhered them to a strip of grey cardstock.

I white heat embossed a sentiment on the bottom of the panel and used the Frames and Tags die set to cut a decorative edge from yellow cardstock to decorate it. It looks awesome in real life!

For the background I chose a green striped paper from the Pastel Basics paper pad. As a finishing touch I scattered a few yellow confetti (Pretty Pink Posh).

I also used a clear shimmer pen on the wings of the bees and added glossy accents to the middle of the flowers.

Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Day 1

April 15, 2024April 15, 2024 ~ safsafdesign ~ 22 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I am so happy to be part of the Newton’s Nook Designs April Release reveals! Today our team features the awesome Never Enough Books stamps and dies and also a new Bookmark II die set! Who could resist these cuties?

All new designs will be available on 19/04/2024.

For my card I stamped and coloured all the images from the stamp set using Copic markers. I used pastel colours, 2-3 shades of each colour family. I cut them all out with their coordinating dies.

Then I die cut a kraft banner using the Basic Frames die set and popped up the shelves in the middle with 3D foam squares. I also die cut a dark green zig zag rectangle using the Frames and Tags die set, adhered the banner on the left side and popped up the stack of books on the other side.

I white heat embossed a sentiment on the bottom of the panel and used the remaining images to make the scene complete.

I chose a polka dot pattern for the background from the Bright Basics paper pad.

As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen and glossy accents to emphasize some of the details. I also added some tiny pearls to the middle of the flowers.

Moo Birthday – Newton’s Nook Designs

April 9, 2024April 9, 2024 ~ safsafdesign ~ 1 Comment

Hello Everyone,

It is my turn on the Newton’s Nook Designs blog and as I am living in rural Australia now, my card for today was heavily inspired by the nature surrounding us. We see a lot of cows everywhere we go. So this cutie was born in my head, let me guide you through the process.

First I stamped and coloured the cow and hay from the Moo stamp set and the balloons from the Cycling friends stamp set using Copic markers and cut him out with its coordinating die.

Then I die cut a black banner with the new Basic Frames die set and added a bit of white pigment ink on the edges. I stamped a sentiment on a white Speech Bubble and assembled the scene on the banner.

For the background I chose a pretty gingham paper from the Bright Basics paper pad and cut it out with a die from Frames and Tags. Before mounting the focal panel on the background, I wrapped a natural twine around it and tied it in a little bow. I used 3D foam squares to adhere the images and embellished the scene with a few confetti from Pretty Pink Posh.
