Entry for the Inky Paws Challenge #110 for Newton's Nook Designs

Hello everyone, it's been a few months since I've done any papercrafting/blogging.  I really have missed sharing with you, but sometimes life is that way. I've been going through some personal things and I struggled to feel creative.  I know that everyone goes through hardships and it's really ok to step away if needed for our own peace of mind. Thankfully my stamps and dies were waiting for me and I truly enjoyed creating this card!

While I am missing designing cards so, so much..I've decided that for now, it's better for me to craft for the personal fun of it. So I hope you'll continue to follow my blog and leave a comment whenever you're so inclined.

With that all said, I thought I'd share with you one of a few cards I made this week with a personal favorite winter stamp set from the Newton's Nook Designs line.  I decided to enter the Inky Paws Challenge which is a color challenge this time.  I'll post links below in case you'd like to join me.

Thanks so much for stopping by!  In friendship ~ Amanda

Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog - Guesting!

 Hi everyone, I'm here again for my second and final Guest spot in October on the Coffee Loving Cardmakers Blog.  I sure have enjoyed making a few projects and sharing them with you!

Today I'm showing off a new image by Stamping Bella, Teeny Tiny Townie Hot Chocolate Stamp  set that I picked up in the Butterfly Reflections Ink online store.  I instantly fell for this super cute elf tucked behind the marshmallows floating in this great big mug!  It was a fun little image to color up.  I found the perfect sentiment in the Lawn Fawn set, Thanks A Latte.

The scalloped stitched die is from the Frames and Flags Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs.

Thanks for joining me here today, I hope you've enjoyed my project and are inspired to create some fun coffee/tea/cocoa themed cards too!

Newton's Nook Designs’ 5 Year Celebration - Day 3

Hi everyone, welcome to day 3, omgoodness this week is moving along quickly!  Today we've got 2 new stamps that coordinate perfectly with the dies from the Frames & Flags die set and the Framework Die set.

The first being the new Sharks stamp.  I took out my trusty Tombow Dual Brush tip markers and colored all these happy smiling sharks!  Or, do you think they all may be hungry?  I diecut the using the largest postage die from the Framework set.  Then mounted on some turquoise cardstock.  

I'm adding my sentiment to the inside of the card as I didn't want to cover any of these toothy friends!

My second card is the Flamingo stamp, and I just had this idea to color them all different rainbow colors.  Again I used my Tombow markers and just had fun! I cut the image out using the largest scallop from the Frames and Flags die set, then mounted on purple cardstock!

So that's it for day 3, make sure to keep scrolling for your chance to win a store g/c!

Newton's Nook Designs Tiki Time

Hi everyone, happy Friday!  Wow, it's been a whirlwind week for me.  Last night my son graduated high school..he's my one and only.  So it's bittersweet, but I couldn't be more proud!

So it's time to kick my heels up and party a little with a card I made using the soon to be retired Tiki Time Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies  I adore this set, it's just so much fun. Make sure to pick Tiki Time up before it's gone!

I started by die cutting my outer rectangle in yellow cardstock.  I stenciled it in a tone on tone look with yellow ink using Floral Lace Stencil  I also added flowers, greenery and a toucan from the Toucan Party and coordinating dies set around my Tiki drinks!  Last I added a banner from Frames and Flags dies and sentiment stamped in Versafine Onyx!

Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy your weekend!

Newton's Nook Designs April Release - Day 4

Hello!  Wow, can you believe that we've already made it to day 4 of the Newton's Nook Designs April Reveals???  That means that tomorrow, all these new goodies that we've been showing you all week will be on sale in the store!

For my first card, I started by stenciling over a light green polka dot paper with the new Floral Lace Stencil to create this vibrant background!  I colored up the floral image from "Little Lilies" which is brand new and added a kitty from Newton's Costume Party to sit under the flowers.  And oops, a little lily bloom accidentally fell on the kitties head!  Lastly I added a sentiment from the Lily set on one of the banners fromFrames and Flags Die Setand mounted it at the top!

For my second card I stamped out this sweet sentiment/main image from "April Showers" on the Fancy Edges Tag Die Set and then cut another tag out from the orange polka dot paper and offset the tags together.  I cut a rounded rectangle from the Frames and Flags Die Set and this sweet umbrella from the Umbrella Pals set.  Lastly I tied some twine and added some glitter enamel drops to the scene.  This card was super easy and I think turned out really pretty!

Deer Friend Newton's Nook Designs

Hello, I hope everyone is doing well!  Today I'm on the Newton's Nook Designs blog with a card I've made using this sweet stamp/die set called Deer Friend. This set was part of the January release, and one of my new favorites!

Deer Friend Stamps

Deer Friend Dies

I drew my inspiration from the weather, it's been a bit gloomy and rainy lately.  I really love days like that.  I listen to podcasts and drink hot tea while coloring up these sweet little Newton's images!  So I brought out the grey inks and cardstock!

I used Zig pens to color the deer and flowers and the background was inked with Hickory Smoke Distress ink.

I white heat embossed the sentiment on a dark grey banner and then arranged all my images on the panel/scalloped background from the Frames and Flags Die Set

Thanks for stopping by, I love hearing from you, so don't hesitate to leave a comment!
