Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Day 4

Hello Everyone,

We have reached the last day of the May Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs but we saved the sweetest for last. There cannot be any releases without a new Newton set, right? Today we are showcasing Newton’s Hanging Basket which comes with a coordinating die set,

All new products will be available on 19/05/2023.

For my card I stamped and coloured the sweet image using Copic markers and cut it out with its coordinating die. I imagined a real swinging card so I poked a hole on the nail using a pokey tool and an old mouse pad.

I die cut a scalloped rectangle from patterned paper and a smaller rounded rectangle from vellum using the Frames and Flags die set. The patterned paper is from the Cat’s Life paper pad. I poked a hole also on these two layers an attached the hanging basket to it with a tiny brad. This way it can really swing!

I stamped a sentiment on the bottom of the vellum with Black Staz-on ink and embellished the scene with a bunch of die cut leaves.

As a finishing touch I added clear shimmer to the heart the cat is holding and covered it with glossy accents. I popped up the whole panel with thin foam tape on a green mat before adhering it to a white card base.

Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Day 2

Hello Everyone,

It is Day 2 of the May Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs. We continue with a super cute set called Succulent Garden which comes with a coordinating die set. There is a new stencil this month called Trailing Leaves.

All new products will be available on 19/05/2023.

For my card I decided to stamp all the succulents on white, Copic friendly cardstock randomly and coloured them with Copic markers. I was really just playing with different greens and combined them with a touch of pink or yellow for a fun look. Then I took my favourite die from Framework to cut the panel down and adhered it to a kraft card base.

I white heat embossed a sentiment on a piece of black cardstock and cut it out with a banner die from Frames and Flags. I used 3D foam squares to pop it up.

As a finishing touch I added a few teeny tiny clear sequins in-between the plants. I love how much a few embellishments add to a card!

Get well soon, friend! – Heffy Doodle

Hello Everyone,

I am back today with another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. As you may know, Lesley has just had a surgery and she is at home recovering. I wanted to make a cute card specifically for her to cheer her up in these hard days. I mixed and matched a few stamps and dies from the latest release, let me guide you through the process.

First I stamped and coloured the images from the Two by Two Zoo animals stamp set using Copic markers. Then I die cut everything out with their coordinating dies.

While I was at die cutting I also cut a cute label with the Showtime frames from green cardstock and a set of white letters using the Moxie Alphabet dies. I spelled “friend” and adhered it on the top of the label with liquid glue. I stamped another sentiment under it from the Get well greetings stamp set.

For the background I chose a striped pattern paper from the Spring Breeze paper pad and added a slightly smaller vellum layer over it before adhering the green label. I popped up the coloured images with 3D foam squares and finished the card with a few sequins from the Enchanted Moss Sparkle Mix. I also used a black glaze pen on the eyes of the critters.

I wish you enjoyed my card today and share with us in our Facebook group if I inspired you. Follow me on Instagram if you like my cards, your support means so much to me! Thank you!

See you soon,

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 2

Hello Everyone,

Welcome back to the March Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs! On day 2 we are focusing on 2 new and adorable small sets: Rainy Day Doxy stamp/die set and for Newton fans the Newton’s Umbrella stamp/die set.

All new supplies will be available on 24/03/2023.

CARD 1

For my first card I started with stamping the images from the Newton’s Umbrella stamp set and coloured them with Copic markers. The colours I used are the following:

• cat: E44, E43, E42, E40, E01
• umbrella: B29, B26, B24, B23, B21, V09, V17, V15, RV17, RV55, RV52

I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. While I was die cutting, I cut a few white clouds with the Sky Scene Builder die set and a piece of watercolour cardstock using the Frames and Flags die set to create a rainy background. For this I used the Raindrops stencil with some Distress Mica Spray: Shiny Bauble and Winter Frost. It literally took me 20 seconds to create this pretty rainy panel! I am addicted to sprays these days!

I chose a pretty patterned paper from the new Spring Blooms paper pad and cut it down with the scalloped rectangle die from Frames and Flags. I also die cut a black circle with Circle Frames and also a Speech Bubble so I could white heat emboss the sentiments on them.

I assembled the card using 3D foam squares under the kitty so he pops off with his cute umbrella. As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen on the umbrella to match the sparkly raindrops.

CARD 2

As always I started with stamping and colouring the images from the Rainy Day Doxie stamp set using Copic markers. The colours used are:

• dog: E49, E47, E57, E55, YG09, YG06, YG11
• umbrella: Y38, Y17, Y15, Y13, Y11

After die cutting all images with the coordinating dies I also cut some elements to build a garden scene: Fence from woodgrain cardstock, grass with the Land Border dies, cloudy background with a die from Framework using pattered paper from Springtime paper pad. I also cut a green postage edge mat with my favourite die from Framework and assembled the scene.

I stamped the sentiment on a white stitched banner which I cut with the Frames and Flags die set.

I popped up the dog with 3D foam squares and used some Raining Rhinestones from Trinity Stamps as embellishment. I emphasized the eye and nose of the dog with a black glaze pen and used glossy accents on the handle of the umbrella and the raincoat buttons.

Heffy Doodle New Release Reveals – Day 2

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to participate in the Heffy Doodle new release reveals! This release is huge and full of crafty goodness. Check out the Heffy Doodle blog for all the details.

For my card I used the cute Be Hoppy stamp and die set along with the new Ripple Waves stencil and Jumbo Jump for Joy sentiment die. All new products will be available on 7th March!

First I stamped and coloured the little frogs from Be Hoppy using Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. The colours I used are:

• frogs: YG09, YG05, YG01, Y21, Y000
• leaves: G19, G17, G03
• flowers: RV17, RV14, RV13, RV11

Then I die cut the Jump for joy sentiment from green cardstock 4 times and the shadow from black cardstock. On the top layer I did some quick ink blending with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide ink for a gradient look. Then I adhered all layers together and backed it with its shadow.

I wanted to keep the card simple so on a white card base I used the new Ripple Waves stencil with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxid ink without paying attention to even blending. Therefore in some places the pattern is darker and in some it is lighter. So cool! Before removing the stencil, I added clear shimmer mist to the background, which adds a subtle sparkle to the waves.

After assembling the card I stamped an extra sentiment under the die cut one from the Be Hoppy stamp set and embellished the car with Enchanted Moss Sparkle Mix.

I wish you enjoyed today’s reveals and will come back tomorrow for more fun! And don’t forget that every preorder after 28/02 gets a freebie!

See you,

Sweet encouragement – Heffy Doodle

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. My kids are super busy with exams at school as they are closing the first term in elementary schools these days. They need all types of encouragement and I thought that the Pencil Heart die is a perfect choice for some little lunch box notes. Let me show you how I made these cuties.

First I die cut the pencils and the shadow die from white cardstock. I used a bunch of alcohol markers to add colours to the pencils. I used my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers this time: PL4, PL2, HB1, PV1, BP2 for the purple one and TB6, TB3, BT6, BT2, JG3 for the blue version.

I used Heffy Memo Tape to hold the little pieces in place while I was colouring and adhered them to the shadow using a waxy jewel picker and liquid glue.

I found the best sentiment in the Fluffy Puffy Unicorns stamp set, I heat embossed it on black cardstock with white embossing powder and cut it down with a paper trimmer.

To fit in my kids lunchbox, I kept it small and adhered the pencil hearts on a white stitched circle. I wanted a colourful background for my own message so I die cut the same die from coloured cardstock and backed the little notes with them. It is sturdier and looks prettier this way.

I finished them off by adding a few seuins from the Royal Mist and Covesea Sparkle Mixes.

I hope you enjoyed today’s Perfect Combo and will check back later for more inspiration. If you like my cards, please make sure to follow me on Instagram where I also share my happy creations! Thank you!

See you soon,

Newton’s Nook Designs January Release – Day 4

While I was at die cutting I also cut a scalloped circle with the Circle Frames die set from patterned paper. I also cut another piece of patterned paper for the background, matted it with red cardstock. I added 3 thin teal striped before popping up the circle and the kitties. I love how the Love and Woofs and Love and Meows papers can be mixed and matched.

For the sentiment I die cut a gray banner with a Banner Trio die and white heat embossed the text on it.

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the noses.

Newton’s Nook Designs January Release – Day 3

Hello Everyone,

We are halfway through the January Release reveals with Newton’s Nook Designs. Today we are showcasing the adorable Never Enough Dogs stamp/die set.

All new designs will be available on 20th January.

For my card I stamped and coloured the image using Copic markers: E49, E47, E44, E43, E42, E41, E59, E57, E55, E53, E51, E39, E37, E35, W9, W7, W5, W3, W2, W00, E11, E01, E000, YG06, YG23, E18, BG11. I die cut it with its coordinating die,

For the background I chose patterned paper from the Love and Chocolate paper pad and cut it with the scalloped rectangle die from Frames and Flags. The sentiment I stamped on a stitched white banner which I die cut with the Banner Trio dies. I decided to decorate it with some thinner colourful banners which I cut with the A7 Frames and Banners and Frames and Flags die sets. I love dimensional die cuts, it looks so cool!

After popping up the image and banners with 3D foam squares, I decided to add an extra sentiment on a Speech Bubble, it makes it more playful I think.

As a finishing touch I added some little die cut images, used glossy accents on the noses and hearts and emphasized the dogs’ eyes with a black glaze pen.

Rainbow sweetness – Heffy Doodle

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to another edition of my Perfect Combos series for Heffy Doodle. I love the Jumbo sentiment dies and I am obsessed with rainbow so I created a fun card which fits both of my obsessions. It is so cheery, would make anyone smile on a dull day, don’t you think?

I started with the background this time: on a kraft cardbase I used the Sprinkled with fun stencil with Distress Oxide inks. For the first layer I applied Mustard Seed, then rotated the stencil and added Picked Raspberry, rotated again and finished it with Peacock Feathers. I cleaned the stencil in-between to avoid the colours mixing.

Then I die cut the You are so sweet Jumbo Sentiment from white cardstock and did some ink blending on it with the same colours. I love that with only 3 colours you get a full rainbow. I cut the shadow from black cardstock and adhered it to the card base.

I wanted some colourful macarons as embellishment so I stamped the one in Sweet stuff 5 times and used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers to colour them: GB4, CT3, CT2, CT1, OR3, OR2, OR1, OR05, MG4, MG3, MG2, MG1, GT3, JG5, AB3, AB2, AB1, AG4, AG3, AG2, AG1. I cut them out with the coordinating die and popped them up in front of the sentiment using 3D foam squares.

As a finishing touch I used Nuvo Crystal drops on the top of the letters and also on the cookies. It is really sparkly like a sugar coat!

I wish you got inspired by this sweet rainbow creation. Don’t forget to show us what you create in our Facebook group, we love to see your cards!

See you soon,

Zsofi

Sending you sunshine – Pretty Pink Posh

Hello Everyone,

In Hungary we have such a beautiful Autumn weather with lots of sunshine. I thought I would wrap some in a form of a card and send it to you, to cheer you up. I used some cute stamps from the latest release of Pretty Pink Posh, mixing them with some of their older dies.

First I stamped and coloured the cute mouse couple from Mouse Friends and also the sunflowers from Potted Sunflowers. I used Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers: BG5, BG3, BG1, BG05, FS7, FS6, FS4, EB5, EB3, EB1, CG3, CG2, CG05, GB4, CT3, CT2, CT1. I cut them out with their coordinating dies.

I also die cut a Stitched Hexagon from Lime cardstock and a Scalloped Hexagon from yellow, and used 3D foam squares to layer them on top of each other tiny offset. I placed the sunflowers and mice in the middle using dimensional tape.

As I wanted to keep this card simple, I simply stamped a sentiment on the bottom with green ink, the with Versamark so I could clear heat emboss it.

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the eyes and sunflowers and also glossy accents on the middle of the sunflowers.

I hope you enjoyed this cheery card and I made you smile. Enjoy your weekend and see you soon,

Zsofi
