All the new stamps and coordinating dies will be available for purchase tomorrow, February 17th. You also have a chance to win each stamp set during release week so check out the details I have indicated at the end of this blog post.
For today’s post, I have created a birthday card, showcasing the new stamp set called Newton Loves Cake and Newton Loves Cake coordinating dies.
I started out by stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock, with my memento tuxedo black ink. I colored the images with my Copic markers and die-cut them using the coordinating dies.
I die-cut my card panel and distressed the background using my favorite distress inks – Spun Sugar and Shaded Lilac. For the second card, I used Spun Sugar and Evergreen Bough. I wanted to use some soft pastel colors for these two birthday cards.
To finish the design, I die-cut a rectangle frame to create a window, adding the banner to the frame. I stamped my sentiment and adhered the 3 silver stars. I also used my white gel pen to add some white dots to the card, making it look more whimsical.
Here’s the first card:
And here’s the second card I designed with the same concept but different shape and colors. I wanted to really show off this stamp set by creating more than one sample for you. The possibilities are endless using this stamp set!
What do you guys think? I hope you like the birthday cards. This Newton Loves Cake stamp set and coordinating dies will be available for purchase on Friday, February 17, at 8:00 a.m. CST.
