I’m sooooooo excited joining today the Design Team and the featured guests for the Newton’s Nook Designs Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!!

Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole link list – there are many awesome blogs for you to visit today! Plus you can comment for your chance to win a prize too! Details at the end of this post!

Today just to stay on topic I decided to put up some happy holidays lights on my card and play more with small, but super cute Holiday Lights stamp set. To start, I die cut a bunch of small lights using the coordinating Holiday Lights Die Set on Neenah Solar White paper. When you have to make multiple images the coordinating dies comes so handy and saves a lot of time! Since the light bulbs are such a simple shape, I decided to make no-line coloring with copic markers because it’s fun and allows you also to practice and try different color combos.

I stamped the light bulbs from Holiday Lights set with a light dye ink using my MISTI tool and the negative part of the die and finally colored all the lights with copic markers. Working on the background, I inked Gingham pattern with a very light gray ink and stamped in the center the matching sentiment from the same Holiday Lights stamp set. I traced two curved lines with a black marker to use as the light strings. Assembling the card, I popped all the colored elements on a foam tape for a fun dimensional look and added a generous coat of a clear shimmer pen.

As always I’m leaving you the complete list of all the colors used on this project: COPIC T1- T3; V0000-V01-V04; RV00-RV10-RV02; RV21-RV23-RV25; R02-R05; Y00-Y11-Y15; G00-G02-G03; B0000-B00-B01-B02; YG00-YG01-YG13; YR00-YR02-YR04; BG10-BG11-BG13; BG0000-BG000-BG10-BG23; B21-B24-BG70.

Newton’s Nook Designs’ November Reveal and Giveaway – Day 4 – Frosty Folks

November 14, 2019November 14, 2019 Tatiana27 Comments

Hello and welcome to the final day of the Newton’s Nook November release! Thanks so much for hopping along this week!

All the new November products will be available for purchase on Friday, November 15th at Newton’s Nook Designs online store and other craft retailers!

The last day has reserved us more super adorable snowmen in new Frosty Folks stamp set. In case you’re interested there’s the coordinating Frosty Folks Die Set too.

Giveaway alert!! NND is giving away Frosty Folks stamp set to a lucky winners so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

And here’s what I came up today! I started with Neenah Solar White paper and Frosty Folks Die Set to get the folks’ shape. Next I stamped the snowmen from Frosty Folks stamp set with MFT Black Hybrid ink and colored the whole image with copic markers.

These are all the colored used on the project: B21-B24; BG10-BG11-BG15; R22-R24-R29; V01-V04-V06; Y00-Y11-Y15; T0-T1-T3-T5; RV10-RV02-RV04; R20; YR000-YR02-YR04.

I prepared a regular A2 size card base and noticed that the snowmen image was quite big. So I decided to use it a central element and add a clean and simple background by stamping light gray snowflakes on the background from Frosty Folks and Newton’s Toboggan stamp sets. Then I grounded the folks by adding a die cut snow slope from Land Borders Die Set. Last but not least I stamped the matching sentiment, popped the frosty folks on a foam tape and added a generous coat of clear shimmer on all the accessories.

Would you like to win the “Frosty Folks” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

I loooooove snowmen so much as I love coloring! That’s why I decided to leave the layout very simple and keep the main focus on the amazing image. I also came up with a creative way of using Snowmen Party stamp set by stamping it twice on Neenah Solar White paper die cut to 5 ½” x 4 ¼” size. The center of the card front was left blank so that I can add the heat embossed sentiment once finished with coloring.

The whole image (snowmen and the background) was colored with copic markers. As Always, I leaving here the complete list of the colors used on this project: COPIC BG10-BG11-BG13; YR000-YR02-YR04; YG00-YG01-YG05; T0-T1; R22-R24-R27; Y00-Y11-Y15; RV10; B21-B24; V01-V04-V06.

Thanks A Latte Card (ft. Newton’s Nook Designs)

November 5, 2019 Tatiana5 Comments

Hello and welcome!

I’ve popped in with a fall coffee themed card made for the Fall/ Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop!!!

My today’s choice was on amazing Pumpkin Latte stamp set from Newton’s Nook Designs. To start, I die cut a lady holding pumpkin spice latte and a few autumn leaves using the coordinating Pumpkin Latte Die Set. I worked on Neenah solar white paper and stamped the open images from the stamp set with MFT Black Hybrid ink. Finally I proceeded with coloring using copic markers.

In case you’re wondering, here’s the complete list of all the colors used on this project: G40-G43-YG41; R01-R05-R08; Y21-YR23-YR24; E51-E53-E55-E57; BV0000-BV01-BV02.

A kraft card base was embellished with tone on tone stamping and a few white splotches. I used Simon Hurley’s Grrr! Dye ink and a white gouache. I also prepared a tag die cut from vellum with Fancy Edges Tag Die Set where I heat embossed a thanks sentiment from the same Pumpkin Latte stamp set. Finally I assembled all the elements together with a bit of dimension and some matching sequins.

That’s all for today! Hope you like this sweet card! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fantastic day!

October 4, 2019October 4, 2019 Tatiana1 Comment

Hello and welcome!

Today I have an extra special post to share with you! It’s all about 10th Annual Caring Hearts Card Drive hosted by super talented Vera Yates! The purpose of this card drive is to collect handmade holiday cards for the elderly that live in nursing homes or live alone. Please check Vera’s blog for all the details and how you can participate!

As a part of Caring Hearts Card Drive SugarPea Designs is excited to release a very special stamp set today!!!

This special stamp set is called Christmas Cheer and has been almost a year in the making. Please note that SugarPea Designs will be donating 20% of all proceeds from the sale of the Christmas Cheer stamp sets to the Alzheimers Association.

And here’s what I came up with for you today! To start, I stamped some cuties from Christmas Cheer stamp set, colored them with copic markers and fussy cut leaving a little white edge around.

The background was framed with a dotted rectangle large enough to cover a whole A2 size card front die cut from Card Front Element Builder II set. I also die cut a circle window inside using Zig Zag Stitched Circles SugarCut and snow hill using a stitched line die from Card Front Element Builder set. The blue sky behind the critters was inked directly on the card base using Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink and the Falling Snow effect was added through the stencil with a plain white embossing paste. Finally I assembled all the elements together with a bit of dimension and finished with a generous coat of Spectrum Noir Crystal Clear Shimmer pen.
