and sooooo versatile!

I had so much fun with this new die!! wow!

first, I stamped and colored the images from Newton Celebrates with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then die cut with the coordinating dies once dry! I also added some details with a white gel pen, too.

I used the new Fractured Card Layout Die Set and used it to die cut out from white cardstock and a piece of that beautiful paper from the new Natural Basics Paper Pad. I then used Salvaged Patina on the patterned paper to add a hint of blue of the beige.
I used Distress Inks in Mowed Lawn, Twisted Citron and Pine Needles for the pieces in white cardstock.
I attached them to the card front, and then used some white embossing paste and the Cascading Stars Stencil to add some texture!

I heat embossed the sentiments in white onto some light beige cardstock that were die cut with the Speech Bubbles Die Set.

have a beep-boop blast!

hello and happy Monday!
it's the start of a new week, and I'm kicking it off with a fun card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

so fun, right?
I used the super fun and festive Fireworks Stencil! I used Distress Inks in lots of rainbow colors with the stencil, then I removed the stencil and used the same colors around the fireworks! then I placed the stencil back on top and used some sparkly embossing paste around the insides of the fireworks! such a fun little touch!

I stamped and colored the images from Love Bots with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! and of course they had to be colored with rainbow colors, too! it's a party! ha!

to create the sentiment I combined phrase from Newton's 4th of July with the 'beep boop' that was die cut with the Essential Alphabet Die Set!
so fun!

be sure to check out the card on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, too!
enjoy!

pop, fizz, clink!

well hello there!
and join me as I celebrate my birthday! today I have this fun card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog, and it's all my favorite things! lol!

cool drinks, rainbow colors and teal! lol!
I used the super fun Cocktail Mixer stamps and dies for my card! they were colored in with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers!

I used Distress Oxide Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Mermaid Lagoon and Chipped Sapphire to ink blend the background. then I used the Sunscape Stencil to add some rays and details to the background!

I also splattered some ink color and white acrylic ink on the background...because: fizz!! lol!

then I heat embossed the sentiment onto a black Speech Bubble and popped it up!
be sure to check the card out on the Newton's Nook blog, too!

Newton's Nook Designs May Release - Years of Cheers

for my first card, i was totally channeling the gold theme (like most of my teamies! ha!)

i used some gorgeous gold-ish diagonal striped patterned paper and also spritzed that with some gold color shine! then i heat embossed the sentiment with gold on the doily!

i colored the champagne glasses with copics and added some messy stitching around the sentiment, and top of the card. 
i love the layers and splatters on this wedding or anniversary card!

my 2nd card was really FUN (and a little messy!) to make!

i used mustard seed to add some watercolor to my card base. and once it was dry, i flicked some water on to add the 'bubbles' of champagne! :)

i heat embossed the glasses in white and then created this adorable little banner for the sentiment! 

i heat embossed on some woodgrain paper, and added some soft pink pleating with tissue paper. i also decorated that paper clip by stitching some pink ribbon on top!

a happy celebration

i have been mighty crafty this weekend! and let me tell you, it feels great! i even wish i could have gotten more done! :)

today's card was made in honor kim huges over at paper smooches - who was married on saturday! the design team did a blog hop for her, and i decided to join in on the celebration too! i used the color inspiration from the challenge this week at off the wall craftiness: pink, yellow and green! very spring-y! and since a lot a lot of weddings happen in the spring, i thought it fit!

so here it is:

of course i made my felt circle embellishments, are you sick of those yet?? :) i also embossed the sentiment (paper smooches of course!) and popped it up for some more dimension! i used my circle punch to make the scalloped edges and then added some green ribbon under the felt thing-ys! :)

it's a pretty simple card, but i like it! it's cheery, bright and happy! all the things a marriage should be, right? :)

more posts to come this week!

enjoy!
