Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Day 4

May 18, 2023May 16, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 8 Comments

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 3

May 17, 2023May 16, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 13 Comments

Hello Everyone,

We are halfway through the May Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs but we still have some super cute new sets to show. Today is all about birds: Birdhouse Greetings has the most adorable images and it comes with a coordinating die set, There is also a new Birdhouse Line Stencil which allows you to create stunning quick cards.

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

CARD 1

For my first card I stamped and coloured a bunch of birdhouses from Birdhouse Greetings using Copic markers. I really enjoyed just sitting and colouring, I can totally relax this way. I cut everything out with their coordinating dies.

Then I did a quick ink blending on a white card base with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink and added a to of splatters: water droplets, white and black paint and some diluted Tumbled Glass ink. I love the texture it gives. I also die cut grass from light green cardstock with a Land Border die and added a bit of shading with Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink.

The sentiments I white heat embossed on black cardstock and just fussy cut them out with my scissors. After assembling the scene, I simply adhered the sentiments on the die cut images.

I used the small birds and butterflies as embellishments to enrich the scene. I used a white gel pen to add highlights and a black glaze pen to emphasize the eyes. I also used a clear shimmer pen on the wings and a drop of glossy accents on the bodies of the butterflies.

CARD 2

For my second card I used the Birdhouse Line stencil with Gathered Twigs distress oxide ink first and then added a layer of Transparent gloss paste over it. I set it aside to dry. When it wasn’t sticky any more, I added the second layer with Peacock Feathers and Blueprint Sketch.

For the birds I used Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze in Sapphire Macaw colour. I love the texture and pearlescent shine.

After it was all dry, I cut the panel down and added a blue violet mat to it. The sentiment I stamped with turquoise ink from the Cozy Camper stamp set.

Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Day 2

May 16, 2023May 16, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 12 Comments

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!

Newton’s Nook Designs May Release – Day 1

May 15, 2023May 16, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 14 Comments

Hello Everyone,

I am so excited to be part of the new release reveals of Newton’s Nook Designs! Today we are showcasing a brand new line of hot foil products! YAY! Look at all those details! So pretty!

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

For my card I wanted to incorporate all the new hot foiling products so first time ever in my life, I used the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot foil machine with gold foil on these awesome new dies. I chose Hammermill 100lb white cardstock as I heard it is giving the best results and I was not disappointed. All my foiling turned out beautiful! I used the coordinating dies to cut all the fireflies, jar and sentiment.

Then I created an inked background: on a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock I ink blended Blueprint Sketch, Chipped Sapphire ad Black Sooth Distress Oxide inks. I added some water splatters and also diluted gold paint splatters. I used a Land border die to cut the grass and blended it with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide inks. I added some diluted ink splatters to this piece too, I just love the look!

I used Mustard Seed Distress Oxide ink to add colour to the little bugs and the middle of the jar too. On the outer edge of the jar I used Blueprint Sketch, to match the night sky. I used the same gold paint for the top of the jar as for the splatters and black paint for the bodies of the fireflies. I made the wings shimmery with a clear shimmer pen.

I assembled the scene and popped up the white sentiment strip with the beautiful gold foiled sentiment on it using 3D foam squares.

It’s your special day – Newton’s Nook Designs

April 25, 2023April 25, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 1 Comment

Hello Everyone,

I am back today with a set of floral cards which can fit any occasion. When I first saw the Spring Blooms paper pad from Newtons Nook Designs I wanted to pair the pretty florals with their coordinating stamps (released earlier).

So I started stamping the Dainty Daisies and Daffodils stamps with Versafine Onyx black ink on Bristol Smooth cardstock and clear heat embossed the images. Then I used my Tombow Dual Tip markers and a waterbrush to paint them. When everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to cut them out.

I selected the matching papers from the Spring Blooms paper pad and cut them out with a Framework die. I added a colorful mat for each. I used the same die set to cut 3 frames for each card from coloured cardstock: I layered them on top of each other for a dimensional look and backed it with a thick vellum (you can double up the normal vellum too for a similar look). I popped up the flowers on the vellum with 3D foam squares.

I white heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and adhered it to the bottom of the frames before mounting the focal panels on the backgrounds.

As a finishing touch I added a few clear gems which looks like water droplets. I love how it enhances the freshness of this design. I also used glossy accents in the middle of the daisies. Both shouting Spring, don’t you think?

I hope you liked my cards and will pop in again soon for more inpiration.

Until next time, take care and see you soon!

Mother’s Day Florals – Newton’s Nook Designs

March 29, 2023March 29, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 1 Comment

Hello Everyone,

I am back today with a pretty card for Mother’s Day using the new Spring Blooms Oval stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs.

First I stamped and coloured the beautiful image using Copic markers. I love these flowers so much, I got in Spring mood simply by colouring them! The colours I used are: R39, R46, R27, R24, R22, R32, R21, R20, YR08, YR09, YR16, Y38, Y35, Y15, Y08, Y11, YG67, YG65, YG61, B0000.

Then I took the scalloped oval die from Oval Frames to cut the image out and while I was die cutting I also cut a bit bigger oval from green cardstock.

For the background I chose patterned paper from the Spring Blooms paper pad and assembled the card.

The sentiment is from the Mom and Day stamp set, I stamped it on a pretty peach banner which I have cut with the A7 Frames and Banner die set, I also added a thin black fishtail banner on each side as decoration. I popped it up on top of the flowers using 3D foam squares.

As a finishing touch I used a bit of clear shimmer on the daffodils, and a black glaze pen on the flower centers.

I wish you enjoyed my card today and got inspired. These oval stamps are so versatile and perfect when you just want to sit and colour. Check out their other designs too!

See you soon,

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 4

March 23, 2023March 23, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 8 Comments

Hello Everyone,

We have reached the last day of the new release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs and I must tell you, the Fabulous Fungus stamp/die set is my favourite this month. Perfect for guy cards and has a lot of punny sentiments.

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

I started with stamping and colouring all the different mushrooms with Copic markers. The colours I used are: E49, E47, E44, E43, E41, E40, E89, E87, E84, E81, E59, E57, E55, E53, E51, E50, E39, E37, E35, E33, E31, E30, E19, E99, E15, E79, E77, E74, W4, W1, W00. Some I die cut, but the ret looked so good together that I simply cut a scalloped stitched rectangle out of it to be my focal panel. I used the Frames Squared die set.

I also die cut a scalloped circle from vellum and a smaller circle from dark brown cardstock to hold part of the sentiment which I white heat embossed on the top of it. The die set I used is called Circle Frames.

Another sentiment I stamped on kraft cardstock and cut it out with a thin banner die from A7 frames and Banners die set. I assembled the card using a kraft card base. I used 3D foam squares in between the layers to make it really dimensional and stamped a third sentiment on the bottom part of the card.

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 3

March 22, 2023March 22, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 11 Comments

Hello Everyone,

We are halfway through the new release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs and we are going floral today as we showcase the Spring Blooms Oval stamp set. It perfectly matches the previously released Oval Frames dies.

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

I wanted an elegant tone-on-tone background for my floral card so I started with stenciling. I used the new Quatrefoil stencil on grey cardstock with Picket Fence Studios Paper Glaze Polar. It is a magical silver, very elegant and beautiful when it is dry.

While it was drying I stamped the Spring Blooms stamp on alcohol friendly cardstock and coloured the florals with Copic markers. Here is a full list of the colours I used:

tulips: RV25, RV43, RV21, G28, YG17, YG25
crocus: BV13, BV01
daffodils: YR04, Y38, Y15, Y11, Y000
mini flower: YR09, YR04, Y38, Y000

Then I cut around the image with my scissors and ran a black Memento marker around the edges to hide any imperfections. Then I used the Oval Frames dies to cut a scalloped light purple oval as a mat for the pretty florals.

The sentiment I white heat embossed on a blue violet die cut which I created with a die from Framework. It fits perfectly in the middle of the image!

As a finishing touch I used a black glaze pen and glossy accents on some parts of the flowers t make them pop.

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 2

March 21, 2023March 22, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 14 Comments

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.

GIVEAWAY

Would you like to win the “Newton’s Umbrella” Stamp Set or the “Rainy Day Doxie” Stamp Set? We will choose ONE lucky winner for each stamp set! Here’s how to win: Comment on the NND blog and Design Team blogs (see list below)! The winner will be chosen at random from the collective reveal posts.

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Day 1

March 20, 2023March 20, 2023 ~ safsafdesign ~ 14 Comments

Hello Everyone,

Welcome to Day 1 of the March Release reveals at Newton’s Nook Designs! This is a super cute release focusing on Spring with some fresh and unique designs. Today our team showcases the Spring Haul stamp/die set, 2 new stencils and a pretty paper pad.

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

CARD 1

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

car: YG67, YG17, YG25, BG23, BG10, C3, C1, C0, T9, T7, T5, T1
watering can: C3, C1, C0
blanket: BG49, BG13, BG11
pots: E57, E55, E53
flowers: RV09, RV06, RV04, RV02, Y15, Y11, YR7, Y38, G28, YG67

I used the coordinating dies to cut them all out. While I was die cutting, I cut a white postage edge rectangle with the Framework die and a piece of grass with a Land Border die. I cut down a light blue cardstock to fit inside the white rectangle and did a little ink blending on the edges for a bit of shading. I used Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink with a blending brush.

I stamped a sentiment on the top right corner and assembled the scene.

I used 3D foam squares to pop up the car. I gave the scene a thin teal mat before I adhered it to the white background. For the card base I chose kraft this time. The tiny butterflies and bees make the perfect embellishment!

As a finishing touch I used a clear shimmer pen and glossy accents.

CARD 2

I love clean and simple stenciled cards and the new Spring Garden Line stencil will cover you for all occasions! I created 2 cards to show you 2 different designs but the variety is endless just by changing up the colours and sentiment.

I used Distress Oxide inks for the stenciling: Mowed Lawn, Kitch Flamingo and Mustard Seed. The sentiments are from the Mom and Dad and Dainty Daisies stamp sets.

As a touch of extra, I used a tin strip of gold glitter cardstock for both designs. It makes a huge difference!
