Wine Cards with the September Release by Kat Scrappiness

September 8, 2018September 6, 2018 | marialrussell

Hello Kat Scrappiness fans! Back today with some simple cards featuring the new Peacock Backdrop die, the Wine Not stamp set and the Wine Not Custom craft dies.

For my first card, I started out by die-cutting the Peacock Backdrop diesome Bristol smooth white card stock. I inked up this piece with some squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade and picked raspberry distress oxide inks with my mini ink blending tool. I set this piece aside to dry while I worked on die-cutting the Wine Not Custom craft dies. I used Neenah smooth white card stock to color the bottle with my Copic markers and used a silver card stock for the wine glass. I added glossy accents to make it look more realistic. I also die-cut a frame by using the double stitched rectangle die and the stitched rectangle die. Here’s the first card:

I adorned my card with some images from a stamp set by Newton’s Nook and also added the beautiful Champagne jewels. I love the new jewels collection from the shop. They are available in a variety of colors. Here’s another look:

For my second card, I die-cut the pieces again with some Neenah solar white card stock and colored the die-cut pieces with my Copic markers. I inked up an A2 size piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock with a stencil from my stash. I stamped the sentiment from the Wine Not stamp set. Here’s my second card:

To finish the design, I also added the cheers sentiment from my stash and the tiny bow is from a die-set by Lawn Fawn. Here’s another look:

For my third card, I wanted to create something simple just using the Wine Not stamp set. I die-cut a piece of some Neenah solar white card stock with the Stitched Fancy Scalloped rectangle die. I colored the images in with my Copic markers. To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment using Versafine Vintage Sepia ink.

I hope you like my cards today. Which one is your favorite? The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Don’t forget to use my coupon code “MARIA10” for 10% off your order at the shop. Have a nice day!

Happy Meow-oween & Pawsome Birthday

August 21, 2018August 21, 2018 | marialrussell

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! Are you ready for more inspiration from last week’s August release? For today’s projects, I am showcasing a LOT of Newton’s Nook products. I’m featuring the Halloween Trio stamp set and coordinating dies, Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and coordinating dies, with an older stamp set Newton’s Perfect Pumpkin. I also used the Land Border Dies, Sky Border dies with the Framework die set.

For my first card, I inked up my background with distress oxide inks —> Wilted Violet, Picked Raspberry and Fossilized Amber to create my night sky. I sprayed it with water using my distress sprayer and dabbed it with my paper towel.

I stamped my image on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the image with the coordinating die. I die-cut the grass with the land borders die on some black card stock, as well as the picket fence and the clouds, using the Sky Border dies. I adhered the die-cuts and the images on my colored background.

To finish my design I added the pumpkins, spider web and the spider with the black bats using the Newton’s Perfect Pumpkin stamp set. I also stamped the sentiment with versa mark ink and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Here’s the Happy Meow-oween card!

I added some white details to the pumpkins and the noses of the critters.

For my second card, I stamped my images on some white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I die-cut an A2 size smooth white card stock and dry-embossed it with the biggest die using the Framework die set. I cut the window using the smallest die of the same set. I covered the window with acetate and also added my foam adhesive to create the well for my shaker card. I used some white and purple star confetti as my shaker element and adhered this piece on my card base.

I inked up the bottom of my card front with some Antique Linen distress oxide ink and adhered my little Frenchies on my card. I also adhered the balloon and stamped my sentiment onto the card.

To finish my design I added glossy accents to the balloon and the little Frenchies to make their noses pop.

I hope you like my projects today. If you haven’t checked out the August stamp, dies and stencil release please visit Newton’s Nook Designs. The products I used are also listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day and happy crafting!

CAS-ual Fridays Stamps – Bushy Tailed and Fox Banner Fri-Dies

August 19, 2018August 17, 2018 | marialrussell

It is the third day of the August release by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and the design team is showcasing the Bushy Tailed stamp set and Fox Banner Fri-Dies. I don’t know about you but I just adore cute little critters to add to my handmade cards and scrapbook layouts. Here’s what they look like:

After stamping my images on some smooth white card stock, I colored them in with my alcohol markers. I couldn’t find the right color for my little fox but I think it turned out okay int he end. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

I inked up my background using my clouds and hills stencil with distress oxide inks and adhered my little critters on my card base. I finished my design by stamping the sentiment using my Misti stamping tool.

Isn’t the sentiment so true though? My friends and I came from different backgrounds but we are so lucky to have each other. I made a couple of these cards to send to my besties.

I love that all the sentiments fit on the banner stamp. This stamp set is so versatile the possibilities are endless!

I hope you like my card today. The August release stamps are available for purchase from August 17th. Please don’t forget to use my coupon code below when you place an order at the shop. Have a nice day and happy crafting!

It is the second day of the August release by CAS-ual Fridays Stamps and the design team is showcasing the Foxy stamp set. Wowza! This stamp set is just amazeballs! I wish I can draw images like these! It is just so elegant.

I stamped my image on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored it in with Copic markers. I felt that this stamp set is just so beautiful that it doesn’t really need anything around it! It just speaks for itself! This is why I chose a white on white background.

Don’t you just love this image? I think this stamp set will also be perfect to create a fall-themed card. Here’s a little close-up:

I die-cut an A2-size piece of colored vellum that I bought from the craft store. I specifically chose this design because I thought it would go perfectly well with the Unicorn image. I adhered this piece onto my card base and stamped my sentiment using Versa-mark ink and heat-embossed it with some white embossing powder. I adhered the Unicorn onto my card. Here’s my first card:

I just love the simplicity of this card and the way the sentiment popped on the background. Here’s a little close-up.

I used three new distress oxide inks for my pastel sky –> Spun Sugar, Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord. I adhered the scalloped frame from my stash and adhered the unicorn. To finish my design, I stamped the sentiment. Here’s my second card:

My friend is crazy about unicorns and she is going to love this birthday card. Here’s another look:

NND August Reveals – Day 2 – Fabulous Frenchies

August 15, 2018August 15, 2018 | marialrussell

It is the second day of the August reveals by Newton’s Nook Designs. I hope you were able to check out yesterday’s reveal. You 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. [Just a little important note: I know some of you had difficulties finding the comments section. If you would like to leave a comment to participate in the giveaway, the “comments section” will only be ever visible when a single post on Word Press is being viewed. Please click on this particular blog post and you will be able to leave a comment below. Thank you!]

For our projects today, the design team is showcasing the Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and coordinating dies.

I stamped my images on Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images with the coordinating dies. I always color more than one image so that when I need to use it for my project, I already have it colored and die-cut and all I have to do is think of a card design.

I inked up my background using my handmade stencil with Spun Sugar distress oxide ink. I wanted to create a different background for my card other than a blue sky. I also inked up the hill with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink. I die-cut a scalloped border and adhered it on my card. I also adhered my cute little Frenchie. Here’s my card:

I used black and white wash tape to decorate both sides of my card. I love the simplicity of this card. I’m not sure why the shirt looks blue on the photo but it is actually dark gray. It’s been raining so much in Florida and I haven’t had much luck taking bright photos lately and I apologize for that.

This stamp set is a must-have! I can’t wait to show you my other card using this stamp set next week.

Would you like to win the “Fabulous Frenchies” Stamp Set? This stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!
