For the last day of the reveals, the design team is showcasing the Newton’s Birdhouse stamp set and coordinating dies, with the Mother’s Day and Father’s Day minis tamp sets. Here’s what they look like:

Here’s my first card with the Newton’s Birdhouse stamp set:

Here’s how I made my card:

stamp and color the image with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice)
die-cut the image using the coordinating dies.
cut an A2 size of Bristol smooth white card stock and ink up the background with different distress oxide inks.
die-cut the picket fence with some white card stock. Cut the picket fence to create two small ones.
ink up another piece of some Bristol smooth white card stock using mowed lawn distress oxide inks.
use the grass border die to die-cut this piece.
use a stitched die to create the flying pattern for the bird.
use the little dots from the Tranquil Tides stamp set to stamp onto the background.
assembled the card.

Here’s a closer look:

I finished my design by adding some white dots on the birdhouse using my Sakura white gel pen.

For my second project, I created a one-layer card using the Mother’s Day mini stamp set and some images from the Cottage Garden stamp set, with some pastel-color inks.

I added glossy accents to the flower to give it a little shine and dimension. I love creating backgrounds using small stamp sets.

For my third project, I created another one-layer card using the Father’s Day stamp set and some images from the Tranquil Tides stamp set.

I really think the images on the Tranquil Tides stamp set went perfectly well with the Father’s Day mini stamp. I finished my design by adhering starfishes with some foam adhesive and adding glossy accents to the card.

That is all for this week! I hope you guys LOVE the projects that we’ve made for you using the new stamps, dies and stencils by Newton’s Nook Designs.

Best Day Ever with The Rabbit Hole Designs

April 7, 2019April 7, 2019 | marialrussell

Hello The Rabbit Hole Designs fans! I am so looking forward to seeing my children next sometime soon and this inspired me to create a card, showcasing the We are Family stamp set.

CARD RECIPE:

Stamp the images on smooth white card stock and color the images in with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
Die-cut the image with an electronic die-cutting machine or fussy cut with scissors. I used my Brother Scan N Cut 2.
Cut an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock and use the Drifts and Hills stencil to create the grassy hills with Mowed Lawn distress oxide ink.
Use the Winter Wonder background stencil to create the mountain with Pumice stone distress oxide ink. Cover this with painter’s tape to mask the background.
Use the Ray of Light stencil to add the sunrays with Fossilized Amber and Spiced Marmalade distress oxide inks.

Here’s what it looks like when the background is completely finished:

Use the distress sprayer to spritz some water on the colored background and dab it dry with some paper towel.
Adhere the colored background on an A2 size side-fold card base.
Adhere the colored images on the card with Nuvo liquid adhesive and some foam adhesive.
Die-cut the sentiment using the Best Day Ever fri-dies and adhere to the foreground with liquid glue.

Here’s a little close-up:

I absolutely ADORE this stamp set.

I hope you like my card today. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. I hope you all have a great day and Happy crafting!

Newton’s Nook Designs – Back to Basic Card-making with Embossing Folders

March 19, 2019March 19, 2019 | marialrussell

Hello Newton’s Nook fans! Were you able to check out last week’s March release? Which one was your favorite? I am back today for Newton’s Nook Designs sharing some simple, “back-to-basic” card-making designs using some cute embossing folders.

For my projects today, I am showcasing the Newton’s Birthday Trio stamp set and coordinating dies, Garden Mice stamp set and coordinating dies, Balloons Stencil and the Grass Border die with the Cats Border Embossing Folder and the Leafy Tree Trunk Embossing folder.

If you are a beginner in card-making and you don’t have a lot of dies to create scenes, you can always check out your local paper crafting stores and purchase some embossing folders. They are pretty inexpensive and will add some great dimension to your card.

Here’s my first card:

HOW I MADE THE CARD:

Stamp the images on smooth white card stock and color the images in with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
die-cut the image using the coordinating die
cut a piece of some 110 lb. card stock and use the Cats Border Embossing folder to dry-emboss the card stock.
use BG-0000 and R-00 Copic markers to lightly color the embossed images.
use the balloons stencil to ink up the background with distress oxide inks.
adhere the colored image using foam adhesive.

Here’s a closer look:

I think adding some color to the embossed images made them pop a little. I simply ADORE this Newton’s Birthday Trio stamp set! This card is perfect for any cat-lovers out there! Here’s another look:

For my second card, I used the Garden Mice stamp set and coordinating die, with the grass border die and the Leafy Tree Trunk Embossing folder. The clouds are from the Newton Scoots By stamp set.

HOW I MADE THE CARD:

Stamp the image on smooth white card stock and color the image in with Copic markers (or any coloring medium of your choice).
die-cut the image using the coordinating die
cut a piece of some 110 lb. card stock and use the Leafy Tree Trunk Embossing Folder to dry-emboss the card stock. Cut about a 1/4 inch using your paper trimmer.
cut a 1/4 inch piece of patterned paper and adhere to an A2 size card base.
Adhered the embossed card stock onto the card base.
using the grass border die, cut a piece of patterned paper to create the grass.
using the clouds from the Newton Scoots By stamp set, stamp a couple of clouds on the foreground.

I finished my design by adding some Champagne jewels on the card and Nuvo crystal drops on the butterfly.

It’s been awhile since I used my embossing folders and I really love both cards. Here’s another look:

I hope I have given you some inspiration today. Please visit Newton’s Nook Designs to purchase the stamps, dies and stencil that I used today. The supplies I used are listed and linked below. Have a wonderful day!

Adhere the colored images on the foreground.
Use Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink to stamp the sentiment “All you need is a little vitamin sea” with your MISTI stamping tool.
