For Day 3, we are showcasing the following Hot Foil Plates –> Confetti, Paw Prints and Birthday Sentiments.

I opted for a cute mini slimline card to showcase the Confetti Hot Foil Plate. My Gemini Foil Press Machine gave up on me so I was only able to make one card, boohoo!

After hot foiling the background, I adhered some gold and black card stock behind to give it more dimension. I also used the same gold card stock to trim two strips and adhered both pieces on the foreground with liquid glue.

Next, adhering the focal panel on a mini slimline card base with liquid glue; and used some gold gel pen to add some lines and dots for added interest.

I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that I foiled using the Birthday Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and foam-mounting it onto the card for added dimension.

For Day 2, we are showcasing the Birthday Barks Stamp Set + Coordinating Dies and Birthday Woofs Paper Pad.

I first trimmed some Bristol smooth white card stock measuring 5 1/4 by 4 inches and used the Slimline Masking Circles Stencil to create the colorful circles with different colors of dye inks. I added some interest to the circles by using some white gel pen and drew some dots and squigglies. I also used some black marker to add more dots to the background.

Next, I stamped the images using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink on some white card stock and colored the images in with alcohol markers. I used the coordinating die to cut them all out

The background panel was adhered to some black card stock and added to a white top-folding notecard. I used the flag dies from the Frames & Flags Die set to die cut a few pattern paper from the Birthday Woofs Paper Pad and adhered to the card, then foam-mounted the focal image for added dimension.

I finished the card design by adding the sentiment that was heat-embossed on some black card stock. Here’s another look:

NND July Release Day 1 – Newton’s Birthday Delight and Birthday Meows Paper Pad + Giveaway

| marialrussell

Hello and Welcome to the Newton’s Nook July Release and 10-year Birthday Celebration. I am so excited to show off the new products by Newton’s Nook Designs.  You also have a chance to win the stamp set being revealed each day so please read through til the end of the blog post to find out more info.  [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.

For Day 1 of the reveals, we are showcasing the amazing Newton’s Birthday Delight Stamp Set with Coordinating Die Set and Birthday Meow’s Paper Pad.

I started by adhering the Birthday Meow’s Paper on some A2-size notecard. I trimmed some Bristol Smooth White Card Stock measuring 5 x 3 3/4 inches and used Distress Inks and blending brushes to ink-blend this panel.

I stamped the images on some Neenah solar white card stock and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. I colored the images in using Copic markers.

Next, I pressed the Aged Mahogany Distress ink on the acrylic block and added some water; I then used my watercolor brush to add splatters to the ink-blended panel. This created more texture to the background. I die-cut the grass panel using the Land Border Die and the Birthday Meow’s Paper Pad and adhered on the panel. I also added the colored images to the foreground with liquid glue.

I adhered the focal panel with some black card stock and trimmed it closed to the size of the panel to ground the images, and added to the card.

The last thing to do is add the sentiment that I heat-embossed on some black card stock and die-cut using the circle die from the Frames Squared Die Set. Here’s another look:
