Thank you for joining us on our LDRS Creative inspiration week blog hop!
Be ready for our Big, Big, BIG new collection! You can even see them in action with step-by-step projects by our amazing designers on their blogs and our own LDRS Creative Youtube channel (make sure you subscribe).
And the fun part? It’s already available in a local store near you! Don’t you just love going to your favorite retailer to treat yourself with the latest LDRS release?!
Each of our four days will feature a new theme featured in this fabulous release.
Day 4 is all about WINTER and CHRISTMAS!
After seeing the out-of-this-world release so far, let’s cheer altogether for more cuteness; with the Otterly Lovable Stamp (and its coordinating die set), Frozen Fun (again, with a coordinating die set), the amazing Cardinal Seasons – Petal Pusher Stamp and its coordinating Pusher die set, and finally, the adorable Candy Cane Lane set (with a die set, of course)!
Winners will be announced on the LDRS Creative inspiration blog and Instagram page on September 17, 2019.
I created a clean and simple card for today’s theme using the Cardinal seasons stamp set. On a piece of white cardstock I stamped the tree branch with Iced Tea ink and once more with Coffee Bean ink to make it slightly darker in some places. I used a stamp positioner and paid attention not to ink up the stamp perfectly to ensure some lighter and darker spots.
I also stamped the birdhouse the same way with the same inks. Then I filled the branch with the pine needles using Evergreen Hybrid ink.
The sentiment I heat embossed with gold embossing powder and matted the design with red cardstock.
For the background I chose a striped patterned paper from the Christmas Cottage paper pad. As embellishment I used Nuvo drops in red for the heart and gold to scatter around.

LDRS Creative New Release – Day 3

Day 3 is all about HALLOWEEN!
Nothing short of amazing, when you see the whimsical new stamp sets in store: Halloween High Jinks Stamps (cut out in no time with the coordinating die set), Happy Haunting Stamps (with a perfect coordinating die set here), and one of the new Petal Pusher sets, Pick of the Patch (and its die set)!
Winners will be announced on the LDRS Creative inspiration blog and Instagram page on September 17, 2019.
If you follow me you know how much I love creating scenes and play with cute stamps. I really enjoyed colouring the characters from the Halloween Hijinks, I stamped them on Bristol Smooth cardstock and coloured them with Arteza Real Brush markers. I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.
On another piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock I masked off a circle (By the light of the moon die) and I sponged Plum Crazy and Dark wash jeans Hybrid inks and added a little Raven on the edges.
After removing the mask, I went back on the circle with Snowy white ink to soften the edges of the moon.
I die cut grass (In the grass die) and a tree border (Up a tree die) from black cardstock. On the grass I added a bit of Snowy white ink for a spooky look.
I also die cut clouds from vellum (In a cloudy sky) and some stars (By the light of the moon) from silver glitter cardstock.
After assembling the night scene, I stamped the sentiment across the moon with Raven Hybrid ink. I used a black glaze pen on the eyes and pumpkins, and a bit of gold gel pen on the horn of the unicorn.

For the background i used a pretty patterned paper from the Sweater Weather paper pad. As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen on the nose and the shutters and added a drop of glossy accents to the vine leaves.

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Day 4
Hello Everyone,
We have reached the final day of the sneak peeks at the fa-boo-lous August release at Newton’s Nook Designs. Are you excited? I hope you liked the last three days and are ready for getting in spooky mood. Today we are showcasing 2 Halloween stamps with their coordinating dies and fun new stencil. All of these will be available tomorrow, 23/08!
CARD #1
For my first card I stamped and coloured the adorable dogs from Happy Howl-oween with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I stamped a bunch of extra candies for building a cute garden scene.
The next step was to create the night sky background. I used the Clouds stencil on Bristol Smooth cardstock and Wilted Violet Distress ink. When it was done, I die cut the panel with my favourite postage frame die from Frameworks.
I also die cut a Fence from woodgrain cardstock and grass with a Land border die from black cardstock. I applied a bit of white pigment ink on the grassy border for a spooky look.
After adhering the background a black cardbase and attaching the fence and grass, I placed the dogs temporarily where they would be. I felt I wanted the sky to be more Halloween-y so I pulled out the Flying Bats stencil and used mini blending brush to add a couple of bats around the dogs with Black Soot Distress ink.
I partial die cut some speech bubbles from white cardstock to match the sentiments and popped them and the dogs up with 3D foam squares. I scattered the candies in the grass all around.
As a finishing touch I added a bit of clear shimmer to the wizard costume and the candies and emphasized some details with glossy accents and a black glaze pen.
CARD #2
For my second card I coloured the Witchy Newton set with Copic markers and cut it out with its coordinating die. I cut a lime green and a slightly wider purple piece of cardstock, adhered them together and tore a piece of vellum which was tiny taller so I could wrap it around the coloured cardstock piece. I added strong tape on the back of the panel to secure the vellum.
I stamped the sentiment with black STAZ-ON ink and adhered the cut out image under it.
I embellished the vellum with tiny silver stars and added some clear shimmer to the boot and glossy accents on some of the details.
The background for the focal panel I created on a black scalloped rectangle (Frames and flags die set). I masked off the stitching parts with purple tape and applied Thermoweb Pearl metallix deco foil gel though the new Ghost stencil. I love the pearlescent shine after drying!
I mounted the assembled panel on a dark grey card base to match the spooky feel.

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Day 3
Hello Everyone,
I cannot believe that we are half way through the August release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs! After some coffee and some Fall images we are introducing cute mice playing outside enjoying autumn weather. Autumn mice is a playful and adorable set which comes with coordinating dies.
I started with colouring all the images in the set, I even coloured some extra leaves as I knew I would build some Fall scenes which needed plenty of leaves. When I had everything cut out I was already sure I will end up with more than just one card.
CARD #1
For my first scene I die cut the Lawn Fawn Leafy Tree Backdrop Landscape die 3 times from dark brown cardstock. I also cut some grass and hills with the land border dies from yellow and kraft cardstocks. To make the images pop I used the Lawn Fawn stitched clouds backdrop on aqua cardstock.
I assembled the scene on an A2 sized white card base and layered the tree frame.
The sentiment I stamped on a grey banner (Frames and flags die set) and tucked it under the last frame.
I added the images and adhered a couple of leaves on the tree and on the grass too. I added white gel pen highlights, emphasized the eyes and noses with a black glaze pen and added glossy accents on the scarf and stems of the pumpkins.
CARD #2
My next project is a 4 bar card, where I used a couple of patterned paper from Lawn Fawn as a background for my mini scene. I used the same scene building elements as on the A2 sized card just this time I made a 3 layered dimensional frame using the Framework die set.
I stamped another sentiment from the set with brown ink directly on the background and popped up the mini scene with 3D foam squares.
I covered the cap of the acorn with glossy accents and used a black glaze pen on the eyes and nose of the mouse.
TAG
And last but not least I created a little tag using the Fancy edges tag die set. I like to make my tags thicker by adding an extra piece on the back. In this way I ensure the pretty finished look also.
I used some sturdy twine and yet another gorgeous sentiment from the Autumn mice set.

Pink and Main August Release Sneak Peek 2
Hello everyone,
It is my second post today, if you are looking for my Newton’s Nook Designs August release Day 1 post, click here.
Now I am back with another sneak peek, this time at a wonderful sentiment set from the August release of Pink and Main. I created a pretty floral encouragement card. Who would not like to get one like this in the mail?
The new Going places stamp set is full of gorgeous sentiments which pair so well with the handwritten ones. I wanted to use the beautiful Thinking of you always stamp set with it, I felt it is a perfect match!
I started with stamping the florals on Bristol Sooth cardstock with Versafine Onyx black pigment ink and clear heat embossed it. You can skip the heat embossing part, I am just impatient to wait for the ink to dry and I love the raised shiny edges. It helps me with my colouring.
Before colouring I masked off the sentiment line with purple tape and applied Tumbled Glass Distress Ink with a small blending brush for a subtle background colour.
Then I used Tombow markers and a water brush to colour the flowers. I kept the colour family in the blue-green range. I also went back in certain areas with a clear shimmer pen to add some sparkle.
When it was dry, I stamped the sentiment with purple and blue inks and cut the panel down. I matted it with a Stitched Rectangle cut from blue cardstock and adhered it to a white top folding card base. I finished it off with a couple of iridescent jewels.
I hope you enjoyed today’s sneak peek at another gorgeous sentiment set. All new goodies will be available tomorrow, 20/08! Until next time, happy crafting!
