cherry blossom congratulations

hi there!
today I have this card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

my bestie asked for a wedding card for a wedding she's going to, and since I didn't have any in my stash (it's not really my vibe...I don't think I'm the kind of crafter to make serious occasion cards! lol! I'm more of the funny, punny and cutesy kind! lol)

I started by stamping the images from the Cherry Blossoms stamp set. then I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color them in. I splattered some white acrylic ink on top. and once it was all dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

for the background, I used one of the arches from the new Arched Frames die set and some white woodgrain cardstock. I used foam tape to pop up the border and then added some texture with the Trailing Leaves Stencil and white embossing paste. 
I arranged the images around the arch and leaves, then splattered some black ink around the images, too.

I heat embossed the sentiment from Heartfelt Roses in black onto some vellum. and then used the Banner Trio Die Set. the card was finished off with some clear drops!

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

purr-fectly autumn!

hello!
today I have a purr-fectly sweet and fun fall-themed card to share!
its' also up on the Newton's Nook blog, so be sure to check it out there, as well!

I started by die cutting out all of my images!
I used the Cat Builder Die Set and die cut my kitty from various greys in my stash. I also added a sweet little lilac collar! I even added a cute little circle of darker grey around one eye, one ear and two paws! love how you can customize this sweet guy!

next up, I die cut out a million leaves from the Autumn Leaves die set! lol! ok, not a million, but I went to town! I used lots of colors in various shades of pinks and yellows. then I added some shading to each leaf with coordinating Distress Ink colors. 

for the card, I used a warm greige colored cardstock. then I used the largest arch from the new Arched Frames Die Set. I popped up the outside with foam tape. then I layered the leaves around the arch and splattered some white acrylic ink around!

to finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment in white onto grey cardstock and then die cut it out with the banner from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. 

thanks so much and be sure to check this out up on the Newton's Nook blog, too!
enjoy!

autumn leaves and cozy reads!

hello!
today I have a fun, cozy card for any autumn or book lover! (which is me! lol)
this card is up on the Newton's Nook blog! 

I started by stamping the images from the Puppy's Reading List and Autumn Reads stamp sets.
then I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the images in. I added some white gel pen details to the images. and once everything was dry, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them out. 

for the background, I did lots of ink blending in a simple rainbow palette using a bunch of Distress Inks. to add a little more detail and texture, I used some white embossing paste and the Falling Leaves Stencil. I love that subtle touch to the background since everything else is so bold and saturated!

I stamped the sentiment onto the book, which I think fits just perfectly! ha! to finished the card, I popped up the puppy image with foam tape! 

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

welcome sweet baby card

hello!
today I'm so happy to share this sweet baby card up on the Newton's Nook Designs blog!

I started by stamping the images from the Lovable Laundry set. I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using pinks and yellows. I added some details with a white gel pen and then used the Stitched Onesie Die Set to die cut out the images. 

To create the background, I searched through the paper packs and picked a few pink and yellow papers from Fireworks Paper Pack, Halloween Party Paper Pack and Spring Blooms Paper Pack. Then I used the Card Layout 5 Die Set and die cut out the papers to create this quilt-inspired background.
I popped up each of the triangles with foam tape.

Next, I used the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and die cut a tag using vellum. I also used some medium grey cardstock for the tag and sentiment. I heat embossed the sentiment in white and then fussy cut out the sentiment.
I finished by popping up the onesies and sentiment on top of the vellum tag.
