i really dig you!

hello!
so excited to share the first (of many) cards up on the Newton's Nook blog for 2026!
what fun!
and this card is Valentine's Day themed! 

so sweet!
I just love these cute little construction vehicles!
I stamped and colored all of the images and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I used images from Love Quarry and Valentine Postage Sampler. 
I also added some details with a white gel pen. and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

I die cut out the frame with a warm pink tone of cardstock and white cardstock with the Frames & Tags die set. I used the white dies that were created from the windows and did some ink blending with Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Ink, then I added some texutre with white embossing paste and the Petite Hearts Stencil. 
I also die cut out the dirt piles from white cardstock using the Sky Borders die set. then I did lots of ink blending with Vintage Photo, Walnut Stain and Fossilized Amber. I also splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink on top. 

I love how easy it was to combine the images from both stamp sets! 
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto black cardstock. and adding just a sprinkling of black splatters in a few corners. 

be sure to check out this card up on the Newton's Nook blog!

enjoy!

happy Monday!
let's start this week off with a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

what a perfect way to kick off the new year!
time to celebrate!

this challenge has something for everyone!

I stamped and colored the images from Yappy Birthday, Yappy Birthday Add-on, Party Animal and Furry & Bright. I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color, and then, of course, added details with a white gel pen. once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

for the background, I did some ink blending with Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and Salvage Patina Distress Oxide Inks, about 1/2 way down the card front. then I splattered some of the ink color on top! 

 

I also did ink blending onto another piece of cardstock that was die cut with the Grassy Border. I used Distress Oxide Inks in Pine Needles, Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron.
I finished off the card by heat embossing the sentiment in white on the green grass.

what a fun birthday celebration and fun card, right?

Love You a Mole Lot!

hi there!
today I am excited to share that I have a card up on the Lawn Fawn blog! and that's not all, I also made a video for this card! what fun!

I was super excited to use the newest release for this card, and I had a BLAST coloring up these little moles!

see? eeeep! adorable!
I stamped the images from A Mole Lot of Love, Critter Conversation Hearts and Little Woodland Library and then colored them in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I also added some details with a white gel pen.
then I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out.

next, I worked on the main part of the card!
I die cut everything out of Vanilla Malt Cardstock with the Platform Pop-up dies. then I did lots of ink blending on top!
I used Fossilized Amber, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain to ink blend the dirt look. I also spent lots of time splattering! I splattered all of the same ink colors as well as white acrylic ink! LOVE that look!

I also die cut out some of the clouds from the Platform Pop-up Cloud Inserts, and did the same ink blending/splattering to make it look like more dirt piles! what a fun scene!

I couldn't resist adding almost ALL of the moles and worms that I could!
I also heat embossed part of the sentiment in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock.
be sure to check out the card up on the Lawn Fawn blog, and to watch the video!

hello!
today I have this funny card up on the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!
the current challenge is a mood board inspiration and it's SO sparkly and shiny and festive and fun!

I was inspired by the shiny, sparkly rainbow theme and used some fun foil on a black sky to add the fun on my card!
so fun!
I stamped and colored the images from Silly Goose and Cozy Cats Christmas Add-on with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. then I added some details with a white gel pen and die cut them out with their coordinating dies.

for the background, I used Black Licorice cardstock and then did lots of layers! the pine branches on the String of Lights Background Stencils were done with green flock. then I used rainbow foil for the lights and white embossing paste for the stings.

I also used the Knock Knock, Who's There? and Knock Knock, Who's There? Tree Add-on! the tree was die cut with Fog Cardstock. and then I die cut out some snowy banks from white cardstock with the Puffy Cloud Borders.

I finished the card off by heat embossing the sentiment in white onto vellum, and then I die cut it out with the Stitched Sentiment Banners. and then I splattered the white acrylic ink on top to finish off the snowy scene.

what a fun and exciting mood board!

I am in looooooove with this mood board and all of the sparkle, shine and rainbows!!

I did lots of die cutting and not one stamped image - crazy! lol
I started by die cutting the camera with the Magic Iris Camera Add-on from Black Licorice, Fog, and Narwhal cardstock.
I also die cut out the rim around the camera lens with the Magic Iris Camera Pull-tab Add-on from Black cardstock and then turned it into a shaker card! what fun!

 

I used the Stickles Glitter Gel - Dark Matter for the middle part of the camera! I LOOOOOOOVE that happy, bright color!
for the shaker part, I used various sizes and colors of sequins in my stash. then I also added some sequins to the glitter part of the camera.

I also die cut out the Scripty Cheers die to add to the festive spirit!
the sentiment is from Yeti or Not and was heat embossed in gold to add to the gold foil in the paper on the card base, which is from the All the Sparkles Petite Paper Pack.

I needed to make a card for a friend this holiday season with a fun nod to drinks this season, and I just LOVE this set! the puns are my favorite and it's such a fun spin on the holiday spirit! lol!

I stamped all of the images from Christmas Cocktails and then used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in!

for the background, I did some ink blending with Picked Raspberry, Abandoned Coral and Dried Marigold Distress Inks. then I used the Plaid Stencil Set and some white embossing paste to add some texture! plus I love the look of plaid for holiday cards! I think it adds a warm and cozy vibe!


the sentiment was heat embossed in white onto black cardstock then fussy cut it out! I also popped it up with foam tape. then I splattered some black ink at the bottom of the card, too!

for some reason, it was a struggle!

this challenge has something for everyone!

first things first, I didn't color any stamped images for this card! crazy!
but those cure cups from the Lovely Latte set were too cute to pass up!
I die cut out the cups using papers from the Sherbet Pack Cardstock and the Black Licorice cardstock.

I also used Picked Raspberry and Mowed Lawn for the edges of the cups to add some subtle shading.
then I die cut out some of the leaves from the Stitched Poinsettia set using vellum to layer behind the cups and add some festiveness.

 

for the background, I used the Simple Stripes: Diagonal for the background by using both white cardstock and Fog cardstock.
and finally, the sentiment is from Love You a Latte. it was heat embossed in white onto Black Licorice Cardstock and then I fussy cut it out.

I finished it off with a sprinkling of tiny black splatters!
