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.

Fun and Easy Techniques With Stencils – Flock Transfer Sheets (ft. Newton’s Nook Designs and Therm O Web)

October 3, 2019October 3, 2019 TatianaLeave a comment

Hello and welcome!

I’m continuing my Mini Series about fun and easy techniques with stencils. In case you’ve missed, you can catch up the first tutorial here and the second one here.

Creating today’s card, I mixed and matched some amazing products from Newton’s Nook Designs with fabulous Flock Transfer Sheets from Therm O Web. Curious? Please check the video tutorial below to see the whole card making process.

I started with Neenah Solar White paper and the negative part of the mask die cut from Ornamental Shaker Die Set on a masking paper. I used Purple Tape to hold everything in place and spread Deco Foil Transfer Gel through Snowfall stencil. I let the pattern air dry and meanwhile inked an A2 size card base with Mermaid Lagoon Distress ink. Once the Transfer Gel was completely dry, I transferred the velvet texture from Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheet in Blue Diamond color to the snowflake pattern by sending it three times trough the hot laminator.

The sentiment from NND Sentiments Of The Season stamp set was heat embossed with a Fine Silver Embossing Powder from Ranger. I slightly trimmed the ornamental panel, popped it on the card base with a foam tape. I glued the ornamental tops with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid adhesive and finished with the matching silver bows.

That’s all for today! Hope you liked this tutorial and a fun velvet texture I added to this holiday project! As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Fun and Easy Techniques With Stencils – Texture and Shine for Newton’s Nook Designs and Therm O Web Inspiration Week

September 18, 2019September 18, 2019 Tatiana1 Comment

Hello and welcome!

This week Newton’s Nook Designs and Therm O Web are partnering for fabulous Fall, Halloween and Christmas inspiration! All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to use Therm O Web products with Newton’s Nook Designs stamps!

And here’s what I came up with! I kept everything really clean and simple today, but ended up with a bit of gorgeous texture and shine by using a Gina K Gold Glitz Glitter Gel from TOW and amazing Snowfall stencil from NND.

Please check the video tutorial below to see the whole card making process.

I started with a blue A2 size card base (I used Soft Navy color cardstock from Simon Says Stamp). Next I taped well both the card base and the Snowfall stencil with Purple Tape to my work surface and proceeded spreading the Gold Glitz Glitter Gel with the Stencil Pal.

I set aside the card base and let it air dry really well. Meanwhile I prepared a big heat embossed sentiment inside the stitched frame die cut from Frames Squared Die Set. The sentiment comes with Ornamental Wishes set and I chose a matching fine gold embossing powder from Ranger for heat embossing. I placed a gold thread in the center of the card front and then glued the vellum panel with Zots Bling Minuscule Tiny Chiquitos Clear Adhesive Dots since they are transparent and mess free. Finally I decided to add a special message inside by heat embossing again a “SPARKLE” message from NND Sentiments Of The Season stamp set.

There are more amazing projects today over on the Therm O Web blog so pop over there for more inspiration!

And now it’s time for prizes! Would you like to win a $25 store credit Therm O Web or to Newton’s Nook Designs? Both companies will be giving away a prize this week! Visit the Newton’s Nook Designs blog and the Therm O Web Blog to enter for a chance to win!

Holiday Card Series 2018 With Rubber Stamps From Purple Onion Designs

December 21, 2018 Tatiana2 Comments

Hello and welcome!!!
I’m so happy you’ve joined me today and so impatient to share last cards from my Holiday Card Series 2018! Thanks soooooo much for all your love and support! May your holiday season be wonderful, peaceful and filled with love!!!

This year I had a chance to make a little collaboration with Purple Onion Designs and used for the first time their unmounted deeply etched red rubber stamps. I was really impressed by the quality of their products and even though I used a regular acrylic block for stamping instead of a usual stamping poisoning tool, I managed to achieve good impressions on the paper both with Memento Tuxedo Black and VersaFine Onyx Black inks. I haven’t had on hand the accessories necessary to mount this type of stamps, but simply used a bit of non-permanent runner tape on the regular acrylic block as I needed something to stick the stamps to their surface.

My first card is turned out as a soft winter scene colored with watercolor markers and Distress inks. I used a snowman and a few scene building stamps from Purple Onion Designs, stamped them with VersaFine Onyx Black ink on a Strathmore Bristol paper and then fussy cut with small sharp scissors leaving a little white edge around.

Here’s the complete list of all the colors used:
Tombow Markers n.090, n.126, n.452, n.623, n.673, n.723, n.991, n.946, n.977;
Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Markers n.50 Yellow, n.70 Orange, n.80 Violet.

I had no problems to get a very good impression with a copic friendly inks too although the stamp lines on this cute fox from Purple Onion Designs are so tiny. Even the bold sentiment worked so well! Besides I just love this style of bubble speech!

And here’s the complete list of all the copic markers used on this card: YR21-YR15-YR68; YG00-YG21-YG23; W00-W1-W2-W3; C00-C2-C3.

Since I wanted to keep the main focus on the fox and coloring, I opted for a soft tone-on-tone background using a few shades of blue Distress inks and a Snowfall stencil from Newton’s Nook Designs.

Last but definitely not least, we have a fun Christmas stockings. I stamped a few on Strathmore Bristol paper, the same I used on my first card, using the same VersaFine Onyx Black ink.

The color choice was on a traditional holiday reds and greens. I used:

Tombow Markers n.N15, n.126, n.885;
Zig Clean Colour Real Brush Marker n.29 Geranium Red.

I like to get creative with the supplies and think out of boxes and so Snow Fort stamp was looking for me like the bricks on the fireplace. I inked it partially with a brown dye ink and stamped here and there creating the background on this project!!!

As always thanks so much for stopping by!

Holiday Card Series 2018 – Joyful Tidings

December 19, 2018December 19, 2018 TatianaLeave a comment

Joyful Tidings #handmade card by Tatiana Trafimovich #tatianacraftandart - Poinsettia Blooms stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

Hello and welcome!!!
I’m so happy you’ve joined me today and even more excited to be on the Newton’s Nook Designs blog sharing another holiday card with beautiful poinsettias!

Joyful Tidings #handmade card by Tatiana Trafimovich #tatianacraftandart - Poinsettia Blooms stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook

To start I took Neenah Solar White paper and die cut a bunch of small elements from Poinsettia Blooms Die Set. Then helping myself with a stamping positioning tool for a quick stamping, I added the outlines on the die cuts using the matching Poinsettia Blooms stamp set and a copic friendly black ink. Next I proceeded with coloring using copic markers as you guessed!

In case we’re wondering, here’re all the exact copic markers I used on this card: YG21-YG93-YG95-YG97; YG17-YG67-G28; G09; R22-R24-R27-R29-R39.

Creating the background, I played with a fun Argyle Stencil Set. I used three different tones of Distress green inks: Twisted Citron, Crushed Olive, Peeled Paint and shifted both layers of Argyle Stencil a few times to achieve a full pattern. I also added a few water droplet and colorful splashes on top for more interest. The sentiment from Winter Memories stamp set was simply heat embossed on a piece of a red cardstock with a white embossing paste. Finally I arranged all the elements on regular A2 size card base and adhered with a bit of dimension.

As always thanks so much for stopping by!
