Newton’s Nook & Xyron Inspiration Week Collaboration

June 26, 2018June 21, 2018 | marialrussell

This week Newton’s Nook Designs and Xyron are partnering for a very awesome inspiration week! Each day there is fresh inspiration using Newton’s Nook Designs products with Xyron adhesives on the NND blog and on the Xyron facebook page!

For my project today, I used the new Loveable Llama stamp set by NND, a Sizzix step-up die from my stash and my all-time favorite Xyron Mega Tape Runner.

I started out by die-cutting some white 110 lb. card stock using my Sizzix Basic Step-up dies.

I stamped my Llamas from Loveable Llamas stamp set on some Neenah solar white card stock, using memento tuxedo black ink. I colored them in with my Copic markers, and used the coordinating dies to die-cut the images.

I used a patterned paper from my stash to die-cut the pieces to decorate my step-up card and adhered them with my Xyron Mega Tape Runner. This is my favorite adhesive to use on my projects.

I adhered all of the images on the card and finished the design by stamping the sentiment on a banner strip die, and added the yellow bow. Here’s the card:

I really love how cheerful this card turned out. The cacti images from the stamp set went perfectly with the theme of this card.

For today’s project, the design team is showcasing Newton’s Kitchen stamp set with the coordinating dies. I absolutely ADORE this stamp set!

I stamped my images on some smooth white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. For every stamp release, I color images more than I need and save the ones I didn’t use for another project later on.

I wanted to create a cute scene for Chef Newton here so I die-cut some pieces of colored card stock using a die from my stash. I adhered the die-cut pieces onto my card stock, and added Chef Newton in the middle. Here is Newton’s bakeshop:

To finish my design, I added the giant cupcake and apple pie from the Love A La Carte stamp set (retired).

I stamped the sentiment on some die-cut panel and adhered it on my card. Here’s another look:

I have another card that I made using this set, but I also mixed it with the Made From Scratch stamp set, with the Frames and Flags die.

I absolutely LOVE mixing and matching stamp sets by Newton’s Nook. Here’s another look:

Newton’s Nook Designs June Release – Coffee & Wine and Wine A Little

June 20, 2018June 17, 2018 | marialrussell

It is the third day of the June reveals by Newton’s Nook Designs. Are you loving what you’re seeing so far? Don’t forget to check out the details I have indicated at the end of this blog post for a chance to win the stamp set being revealed each day. [Just a little important note: I know some of you had difficulties finding the comments section.

Today, the design team is showcasing two stamp sets – Wine A Little stamp set and coordinating dies with the Coffee & Wine stamp set. I LOVE WINE so of course I love both stamp sets! This may be my favorite thus far although it is really tough to pick a fave since they’re all AMAZING!

For my first card, I stamped the images from the Wine & Coffee stamp set on some Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I purposely didn’t stamp the middle of the card because I wanted the focal point to be the sentiment. If you read my Designer’s Nook series email this week, I did a similar design to my card but I love how this one turned out. Even though the focal point is the sentiment, I love the colored images on the background.

Isn’t it true that life is what happens between coffee and wine?

I added some highlights to the stamped images with my C1 Copic marker to give it more dimension. Here’s another look:

For my second card, I colored my background with another stencil from my stash. I dry-embossed the card stock with the Postage die from the Framework Die set.

I stamped the images on some smooth white card stock and colored them with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies. I adhered the images on my colored background panel.

I stamped the sentiment on a die-cut banner from the Frames and Flags die set. I die-cut the “Cheers” script sentiment using a die from the Cocktail Mixer coordinating dies.

Don’t you just love the gold details on the “Cheers” script sentiment?

It is so true that the best wines are the ones we drink with loved ones and friends. Here’s another look:

Would you like to win the “Wine A Little” or “Coffee and Wine” Stamp Set? Each stamp set will be given away to ONE lucky winner!

For our projects today, the design team is showcasing the Loveable Llamas stamp set and coordinating dies. I was super excited when I saw this stamp set because there are two Llamas in different poses and some accessories to dress them up. I LOVE THE SUNGLASSES! Here’s what the stamp set look like:

I started out by stamping my images on some smooth white card stock and colored them in with my Copic markers. I die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.

I wanted to add the cacti images from the Cultivated Cacti stamp set. I stamped them on some white card stock with green and pink inks. I added some dot details using the Faber Castell black pen.

I stamped the balloons from the Playful Pandas stamp set (revealed yesterday). I colored them in with my Copic markers, and added some white dots using my Sakura Gellyroll Pen. I adhered the Llama on top. Here’s the card:

I think the cacti images went perfectly well with the Llama. I also added some shadows under the Llama using my C2 and C0 Copic markers.

Here’s another look:

For my second card, I dry-embossed some white card stock using the new Serene Stripes stencil (revealed yesterday) with my embossing pad. I colored the background with some distress oxide inks.

Isn’t he adorable? I added the sunglasses and covered it with glossy accents to make it look realistic. He’s so groovy! Here’s a little close-up:
