Joy Ornaments and Cable Knit Embossing

Hi all, I'm here with a fun wintery card to show you today!  I saw this stamp set, Joy Ornaments by Mama Elephant from their latest release and I had to have it.  I actually love coloring letters and I think this set is SO much fun because you have options to turn the O in JOY into snowflakes or ornaments!  Really cool, don't you think? I used the coordinating dies to cut my images out as well.

And how about that embossed background?  I'm in love with the new Cable Knit embossing folder in 6x6 by Sunny Studios! I loved the results when I took the kraft cardstock out, the embossing is just GORGEOUS!

I then took the scallop die from the Frameworks Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs and cut out a very light blue piece of cardstock. I cut out my letters and snowflake, Copic colored them and assembled on my cardfront. I added the sentiment up top AND these super cute  Winter Days Confetti by Pretty Pink Posh for a little added decoration!

Thanks for joining me today, make sure to stop by the Butterfly Reflections Ink and check out these fun products and MORE!

Newton's Nook Designs September Release - Day 4

Hi everyone and welcome to day 4, our final day of reveals at Newton's Nook Designs! Today I'm showing off a brand new sentiment stamp set, Thankful Thoughts. You can see an image of the set below.  In my first card, I've used one of the sentiments from this set.  Plus the raccoon image from Harvest Tails that we revealed yesterday.  I've also created my background using the other brand new stencil, Pumpkin Patch by distress inking over the stencil and adding a little paint splatter over the top. I tied some twine and foam popped my image over it.

On this release day, we're also showing you the brand new 2x3 sets, Slothy Coffee and Tea Rex. I chose to make a card using Slothy Coffee and used the Sunscape Stencil for the background and the postage die from the Framework Die set as the base. I love this sentiment and yes, I feel kind of Slothy every morning and really need my coffee!

Thanks for stopping and be sure to comment to WIN!!!

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 May Release - Day 4

Hello everyone and welcome to day 4 of the May reveals over at Newton's Nook Designs!  Today I've got 3 cards to share with you!  We're featuring 2 stamp/die sets today!

So for my first card I colored Newton in true Newton Orange Stripe Tabby.  Sometimes people ask me what my color combinations are when I Copic color.  I thought I'd snap a pic of the colors I used on this kitty, in case you'd like to try one for yourself!     

My second card I randomly stamped some of the donuts from Newton's Donut along with a sentiment.  I then added the Newton image die cut and copic colored from an older set, Newton Loves Coffee Because who doesn't love a good cup of coffee and donuts?!

For my last card, I Copic colored and die cut this cute image from Newton Loves Boxes.  I die cut a rounded rectangle from Frames and Flags Die set and mounted on my background turquoise polka dot paper. I love when I order from NND and my package comes tied up with this pretty orange and white twine.  I always save mine and I think it looks perfect on this card!

So that's it for the May reveals..don't forget all of these new products we've featured this week will be in store!  I certainly have enjoyed reading all your comments...make sure to keep scrolling and comment to win one of these sets!!

Hi everyone, day 3 of the Newton's Nook Designs May reveals and I'm here with a stamp/die set called, "Papa Bear".  This is a perfect stamp set for Father's Day coming up..or just an all around card for your favorite Dads!

Newton's Nook Designs May Release - Day 2

Hello and welcome to day 2 of the May reveals at Newton's Nook Designs.  Today we've got another A-mazing floral for you, called Peony Blooms with coordinating dies. For my top card here with the yellow flowers (are there any yellow peonies known in nature?  I'm guessing not, but I just was drawn to my yellow copics when I went to color this).  I love how this turned out, using 2 of the dies from the Framework set, pictured below, to create my frame. The background paper is by Echo Park called Here & Now.

For my second card, I attempted a technique new to me, where you stamp your images using distress ink and then a waterbrush to color the images, pulling color from your lines.  Admittedly, I need practice..however, my last flowers were better than the first few I colored, so I thought I'd show you!  This is a technique I plan to practice more. I die cut my panel and layered it on gold and berry cardstock.
