it's time to start the EPIC Newton's Nook Designs May Release! 

today, the whole DT is showcasing the super sweet and classic Happy Little Thoughts Stamp Set + Coordinating Die!! i love love love this set! You can use this set in so many different ways, for so many different reasons!! 

you can totally use this to scrapbook, create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on May 20th, right here!

for my 1st project, i created a baby card!

I used some Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass and Peacock Feathers to create a soft blue background. then I stamped the 'twig' wreath in Vintage Photo a few times (rotating the stamp block as I did), to make it look like it could be a nest! :)

the super sweet sentiment was heat embossed in White on top, and then I added some enamel dots in a super fun lime green, like abstract leaves! finally, I added some texture with embossing paste and a striped stencil! 

for my second card, I seriously just wanted to have FUN and do some messy watercoloring! :)

I heat embossed the beautiful floral wreath in white and then used my Distress Markers to add color! I scribbled the marker onto my kraft mat, and then picked up the color with a damp water brush to add it to the card front! 

I couldn't resist adding a few splatters too...because...me!! another thing I couldn't resist with this beautiful and bright card...the bold, contrasting strip of washi!! I can't stop doing it! lol!
