Newton's Nook Designs September Release - Newton’s Thanksgiving, Newton’s Cornucopia + coordinating Dies and Pumpkin Patch and Tree Rings Stencils

hi hi hi!

today is day 1 of Newton's Nook Designs September release!

I am super in love with this release!
these sets are so FUN and bringing the fall feeling! ha! today we're checking out Newton’s Thanksgiving, Newton’s Cornucopia + coordinating Dies and Pumpkin Patch and Tree Rings Stencils!
you can totally create a project life type spread, gift tags and, of course, cards! all of the new sets will be available for purchase on September 14th, right here!

my card features the Newton’s Cornucopia image and Pumpkin Patch stencil!

I colored in the images with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers, and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them out! 

the sentiment was heat embossed onto a strip of vellum over the frame from the Framework Die set!

to create the background, I used Ripe Persimmon and Dried marigold Distress Inks and ink blended the edges. then I used white embossing paste through the stencil! there's so much texture here, I love it!

my next two cards use the cute and FUN Newton's Thanksgiving stamp set! 

I stamped the smaller food images in a light grey ink in the background! then I popped up the images that I colored in with foam tape.

the banner was created with various cardstocks that I stitched on with my sewing machine! I finished off the card with some sequins.

my last card is just plain FUN.

I used the comfy chair from A Cozy Day in and with some intricate masking and redrawing of lines...I made it a chair for that stuffed cat! ha!

so fun, right?!

ha ha! I just love that stuffed cat...ready to eat pie all lounged out on the chair! this is like a scene straight out of my thanksgiving! ha!

of course the background was distress ink blended with Picked Raspberry and Mustard Seed. I know it's not your usual fall colors, but...oh well!

Create a Smile Stamps September 2018 Release

hello all!!
I'm sure you've been seeing the sneaks all week of the AWESOME Create a Smile Stamps release this month...seriously LOVE these sets!

here's a closer look at the cards I created with a few of the sets!
the first one is, what I predict to be the BEST SELLING STAMP SET EVER (ha ha ha!) Pure Poppies!

guys, I LOVE how this card came out...but even more than that...I LOVE what the team came up with! I knew there was NO WAY I could even begin to create as gorgeous designs as them, so I stuck with my own style, but I HIGHLY encourage you all to check out the rest of the cards with this stamp set...WORKS OF ART! wow!!

ok, for my card, I used Distress Oxide Inks to ink blend the background with Wilted Violet, Blueprint Sketch and Tumbled Glass! then for the bottom of my card, I used some white embossing paste and the Diagonal Grid Stencil! 

the sentiment is from the All About You stamp set!
I finished the card off by sprinkling water and colored ink over everything!

my second card features the new Radio Rock set!

LOOOVE it!
did someone say rainbow?! lol!! 
I heat embossed the music lines in white onto vellum, then I fussy cut around it! next, I stamped the sentiment and music notes on top!
I used Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color the image, and my new Altenew Watercolors to add the watercolor look behind the sheet music!

so bring, and so happy!
a few star sequins finished it off!!

my last card is my favorite, favorite, favorite!! and the stamp set is my new favorite EVER - Same Frequency!

eeeee! love it!
I used the Postage Edge Circle dies to create the shaped card! then I used Fossilized Amber, Mustard Seed and Vintage Photo Distress Inks to create the background!

I used the Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers to color in the images (with some Diamond Stickles Glitter!) and then fussy cut them out!
the robots are popped up, and the sentiment was heat embossing onto a strip of black cardstock!

so those are my cards!
be sure to check out the Create a Smile Stamps blog for more details on the release, and more importantly to see the other DT member's AMAZING cards...seriously...you're going to go gaga!! ha! then head over and place your order because...you know you want these!!! **heart eyes**
enjoy!

a little folk art fun

hello!
today I have a fun little card up on the Newton's Nook blog!

it's a little fall, and a little folk! lol!
I LOVE the Cottage Garden stamp set, and I decided to make my own folk art inspired patterned paper with it!
I'm totally crushing on that deep, rich blue color and I just LOVE how the white heat embossing pops against it!

I heat embossed the custom sentiment from Simply Relative onto a black strip of cardstock, then stamped the CUTE fox with some Distress Oxide inks!
I die cut that shape out 5 times and stacked them all together! 
I love the fall colors!! and I love how it's almost a masculine card, despite the flower images!
totally a new kind of card for me!
enjoy!

Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #36 - Fall Mood Board

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

this time, you've got an incredible mood board to spark your creativity! 

eeee! I'm so excited! I love **all** of these images!
and that top left image combined with that GORGEOUS happy fall scripty words...swoon! I was instantly in LOVE!

I used lots of Distress Oxide inks on this card!
for the background, I used Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio and Tumbled Glass.
for the leaves, I used Ripe Persimmon, Worn Lipstick, Spun Sugar, Fossilized Amber, Abandoned Coral and Picked Raspberry!

then I splattered lots of the same colors of ink over the all of the distressed areas!
those leaves are from the Stitched Leaves die set! LOVE them!

I created the sentiment by manipulating the phrases from the brand new Thanks a Latte stamp set!
so fun!
a sprinkle of clear sequins and that woodgrain washi just makes it!!

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