National Coffee Day Blog Hop with Newton’s Nook Designs

Happy National Coffee Day! Today the Newton’s Nook Design Team is hosting a blog hop to celebrate! You can visit all the Design Team Member’s blogs and leave comments for a chance to win! You can also visit the Coffee Loving Cardmakers blog today for another big blog hop and a chance to win more prizes!

Here is what I created:

New just released Slothy Coffee stamp set was so perfect to play with. I die cut using the coordinating Slothy Coffee Die Set the cute sloth in the coffee cup from Strathmore Bristol paper, aligned the negative part of the die cut into a stamping positioning tool and stamped the image with VersaFine Onyx Black ink since it’s waterproof. The fall twist to the card gave some pumpkins from Harvest Tails and a few falling leaves from Newton’s Cornucopia stamp and die sets. All the stamped elements were colored with Tombow and Zig markers which exact list I’m leaving here:

TOMBOW MARKERS: n.090, n.126, n.885, n.912, n.946, n.990, n.991, n.992.
ZIG CLEAN COLOUR REAL BRUSH MARKERS: n.41 Light Green, n.50 Yellow, n.52 Bright Yellow, n.70 Orange, n.71 Flesh Colour.

The background was made from a watercolor paper trimmed slightly smaller than an A2 size card base. I added some water washes with regular watercolors using the same color range and I used previously on the stamps. Finally the sentiment from the same Slothy Coffee set was simply stamped on the watercolor panel and all the elements were assembled with a bit of dimension.

STAMPtember Exclusive Set from Newton’s Nook Designs

You can purchase the new Hello Beautiful Stamp Set and coordinating die sets today at Simon Says Stamp. Remember, these items are ONLY available through Simon Says Stamp while supplies last!

I’m also sharing a project with you using this fun new design! Plus I have a VIDEO tutorial for you today! So be sure to scroll down towards the bottom of this post!!!

My card turned out almost one layer and was made with a little bit of masking technique. I used Fabriano Artistico Hot Pressed Extra White paper for the watercolor scene along with some watercolors from my personalized palette that contains Winsor & Newton, Daniel Smith and Schmincke brands.

The stamping was done with VersaFine Onyx Black ink since it’s crisp and waterproof.

Creating this birthday scene, I added a few fun birthday from Newton’s Nook Designs Playful Pandas stamp set and more I prepared the coordinating envelope using the same Hello Beautiful stamp set and some simple stamping.

And now I’m leaving you with a video tutorial!

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release and Giveaway – Day 3 – Harvest Tails

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of the Newton’s Nook Designs September Release!

All the new September products will be available for purchase on Friday, September 14th at Newton’s Nook Designs online store and other craft retailers!

You know that I’m fond of cute kitties, kitty stamps and dies, but the adorable critters from new Harvest Tails stamp set have completely stolen my heart! This set definitely became one of my favorites! Besides the cute critters, it filled with super clever small stamps so useful for adding autumn feeling to the projects or building the cutest fall scenes. In case you’re interested, Harvest Tails stamp set comes with the coordinating dies.

Giveaway alert!! NND is giving new Harvest Tails stamp sets away to a lucky winner so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

Here’s what I came up with working with Harvest Tails stamp set and Harvest Tails Die Set.

To start, I prepared three crates with a climbing raccoon and some autumn pumpkins and apples. This is where the coordinating dies come super handy and save lots of time. First I made a super quick die cutting using Harvest Tails Die Set and Neenah Solar White paper, then aligned the negative part of the die cut elements into a stamping positioning tool and quickly stamped the coordinating images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. Next I spent some time coloring everything with copic markers.

These are all the colors used on the card: YR00-YR02-YR04-YR07-YR09; R22-R24-R29; Y11-Y15-Y17; YG01-YG05; E30-E33-E35-E37; raccoon C0-C1-C3-C7 plus R000-R30.

Working on the background, I masked the card base edges and blended from the bottom right corner a super light blue ink. Finally I popped all the elements on a foam tape along with a heat embossed sentiment from the same Harvest Tails set and finished with a coat of Wink of Stella Clear Glitter pen.

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

Here’s how to win:

2018 SugarPea Designs Fall Release: Day3

 

Hello and welcome to Day 3 of the SugarPea Designs Fall Product Release!
I hope you’re enjoying Sweet Peeks from the Design Team! All the new products will be available for purchase starting this Friday, August 24th at 6 PM EST in the SPD Store.

And don’t forget to enter the GIVEAWAYS!  All you need to do is leave a comment for your chance to win.

**Please note that links to our store for these new products will not go LIVE until 6PM EST on August 24th.**

Today I’m so happy to introduce you two new and absolutely adorable Bewitched and Darling Dragons stamp sets filled with lots of incredibly cute images. Both sets come with the coordinating Bewitched and Darling Dragons SugarCuts. Plus there’s an extra amazing new die set called Hocus Pocus.


My first card features Darling Dragons stamp set and Darling Dragons SugarCut.

I started with Strathmore Bristol paper, VersaFine Onyx black ink and Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers. Once die cut and stamped some images from Darling Dragons sets, I made a super simple watercoloring.

In case you’re interested, here’s the complete list of all Zig markers I used on this card: n.36 Light Blue – n.41 Light Green – n.51 Lemon Yellow – n.52 Bright Yellow – n.83 Lilac – n.61 Light Brown.

Next I took a piece of the watercolor cardstock from Tim Holtz, masked a triangle shape with a sticky tape and added Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink plus a few blue shades: Tumbled Glass and Mermaid Lagoon. I framed the inked piece using a scalloped die from Card Front Element Builder and popped it on an A2 size white card base. Finally I heat embossed the sentiment from the same Darling Dragons stamp set, arranged all the stamps and adhered them with a bit of dimension.

Next comes super adorable Bewitched stamp set and the coordinating Bewitched SugarCuts. Working on this project I switched to Neenah Solar White paper and Memento Tuxedo Black ink since my intention was to color the images with copic markers.

Here’re all the colors used here: skin E50-E51-E53-E55-R20; hair Y32-YR21-YR24-YR27; RV21-RV23-RV25-RV29; B21-B24-B26; YG93-YG95-YG97; BG11-BG23; YR12-YR16; C00-C1-C3; E30-E33; R00-R24-R29.

For the card front I used the same scalloped frame from Card Front Element Builder and Distress cardstock from Tim Holtz along with a light yellow and blue inks and an ink blending tool. Before stamping the sentiment from Bewitched stamp set, I flicked a few water droplets on the background and finally assemble everything with a bit of dimension and shimmer.

2018 SugarPea Designs Fall Release: Day 1

Hello and welcome to Day 1 of our SugarPea Designs Fall Product Release!

I hope you’ll join SPD Design Team over the next 5 days because we’ll be sharing Sweet Peeks for the products that will be available for purchase starting this Friday, August 24th at 6 PM EST in the SPD Store.

Each day will be full of inspiration, and as always, you’ll have a shot at winning one of FIVE GIVEAWAYS!  All you need to do is leave a comment for your chance to win.

**Please note that links to our store for these new products will not go LIVE until 6PM EST on August 24th.**

Today’s Introductions include… To The Moon & Back and To Infinity & Beyond stamp sets, SugarCut To Infinity & Beyond and Star Dust.

My first card features two super fun and cute new products: To The Moon & Back stamp set and SugarCut Star Dust.

To start, I stamped with VersaFine Onyx black ink since it’s waterproof the big image from To The Moon & Back stamp set using a watercolor paper. Then I made a simple watercoloring with regular watercolors and stamped aside the matching sentiment. Next came a watercolor galaxy background that was cut to a 3½” by 4½” rectangle and ran back and force in the die cutting machine with new SugarCut Star Dust. The die cut starts immediately transformed the watercolor background into a beautiful starry night sky. Assembling all the elements I popped some of them on foam tape for a bit of dimension.

Next comes so adorable To Infinity & Beyond stamp sets filled with incredibly cute stamps and fantastic sentiments.

As always I started with the coordinating SugarCut To Infinity & Beyond and Strathmore Bristol paper die cutting an astronaut dog and a few planets. Next I aligned the negative part of the cuts into a stamping positioning tool and stamped the images from To Infinity & Beyond set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. Finally all the elements were colored with Zig Clean Colour Real Brush markers.

Here’s the complete list of all Zig markers I used here: n.36 Light Blue – n.45 Pale Green – n.47 May Green – n.51 Lemon Yellow – n.83 Lilac – n.61 Light Brown – n.62 Dark Brown – n.64 Oatmeal.

Creating the background for the first card, I ended up with an extra piece of a galaxy background and decided to play around the same layout. I heat embossed the sentiment using the same To Infinity & Beyond stamp sets and finally adhered everything to the card base with a bit of dimension.

Would you like to win the To Infinity & Beyond stamp set?  Leave a comment sharing what occasion you create cards for most. It’s that easy! You have all week to comment! Winners will be announced on Sunday, August 26th.
