Newton's Nook Designs January Release - Love Bites Stamp Set + coordinating Die and Tumbling Hearts Stencil

**this is my 2nd post of the day! to see my Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog post scroll down, or click here!**

hello again!

welcome to the start of Newton's Nook Designs January release!

and oh my gosh you guys...this release is so completely amazing! I'm in LOVE with each new set, and I can't wait for you all to see it, too!
today we're focusing on Love Bites Stamp Set + coordinating Die and Tumbling Hearts Stencil!
you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, ofaz course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on January 19th, right here!

to share the FUN that is this stamp set and stencil combo, I created a trio of tags!

all of the images were stamped and die cut out! I colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers and then added some highlights and details with my white gel pen! you know I love that!

I used the Starfield Stencil to go with the toast and jam image (my favorite!!!!) and used Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Mustard Seed to add color!

The muffin images were paired with the Waves Stencil and Wilted Violet and Seedless Preserves Distress Inks, and lastly the new Tumbled Hearts Stencil was used with the cute little olives and martini glass (from Cocktail Mixer) along with Abandoned Coral and Worn Lipstick Distress Inks!

All of the tags were cut with the Fancy Edges Tag Die set! LOVE the unique-ness! and to finish off my tags, I heat embossed the coordinating sentiments!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #21 - Mood Board

yahooo! it's time for a NEW challenge over at the Lawn Fawnatics Challenge blog!

this is perhaps the pretties winter mood board ever!

i was completely inspired by the glistening snow, the hearts and the glitter!!!

eek! i just love it!!!
the narwhal is from the Critters in the Arctic set, and he's SO SWEET! I love him! I colored him and the hearts from Push Here with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, then fussy cut them out!
the title was created by using the Harold's ABCs stamps and Cole's ABCs dies! LOVE them! I die cut the 'narly' word 6 times and layered them all on top of each other for some height!

the background was created by using some Heidi Swapp Reactive Paint, which I painted onto the background of a white piece of cardstock. then I sprinkled on glitter in white and silver, but not on all of it. once it was dry completely, I put a piece of silver foil on top and ran it through my laminator! so it gradually changes from white glitter to silver glitter to silver foil! LOVE how it looks!!

oh, i really can't WAIT for you to play along! you could win a $25 gift certificate to Lawn Fawn!!!!
enjoy!

Reverse Confetti January 2018 Release Countdown - Day 3

hi!
as one of the Reverse Confetti's Fetti Friends this month I'm stoked to share the day 3 sneak peak of the January release!

sooooo exciting! I'm in LOVE with these products this month!! how lucky am I?!
today we're showcasing the wonderful Kindess Cards stamps/die and Something Wonderful stamps/die sets!

i am super excited to share my scrapbook layout with you using these products! I know, I know, you're here for cards! but sometimes I make scrapbook layouts, too! and with the papers from the new Forever My Love 6x6 paper pad, I couldn't resist making one! ha!

so adorable, right?
my little Menn actually both looked and smiled for this photo!! what?! it was a summer's day miracle, I tell you! ha!

I used the papers from the new 6x6 paper pad to layer behind my photo. and I also tore some of the edges and look!! you can see some of the papers peeking out there, too! (that's my favorite part of the layout!)

I used gesso to mute out some of the striped paper from my stash, and then Distress Inks in Cracked Pistachio, Hickory Smoke and a mix of Worn Lipstick/Dried Marigold as watercolor behind my photo cluster! then some white embossing paste and a polka dotted stencil on top of that to finish off the mixed media action!

lastly, I used the heart shaped die to die cut out hearts from the patterned paper and some vellum. I stitched together the vellum hearts on top of the paper hearts and then added them like embellishments to my layout! the title is from the stamp set too! I used black ink to do part of the title and then a combination of Blueprint Sketch and Cracked Pistachio Distress Inks for the 'amazing' part of the title! which I then die cut out five times and layered together to add some height!

ok!
so be sure to leave a comment on ALL of the sneak peak posts for each designer! there is a $15 gift certificate to one blog commenter and also one to one Facebook commenter! comments will close at noon CST on January 7th and the winner will be announced at 5pm that day on the Reverse Confetti blog and Facebook page! you can get all of the details on the Reverse Confetti blog!
