Oink stamp set

Farm-themed Cards with Newton’s Nook

| marialrussell

Hello Newton’s Nook fans!  Have you seen last week’s April release?  What was your favorite?  I am back today to share with you two farm-themed cards, showcasing the Oink stamp set and coordinating dies with the Moo stamp set and coordinating dies.

 

Here’s my first card:

NNDOink1A

 

I started out by stamping my images on Neenah solar white card stock and colored them in with Copic markers.  I used the coordinating dies to die-cut the images.  I inked up a Bristol smooth white card stock with some Broken China distress oxide inks to create the sky.  I die-cut the rest of the images that I needed and assembled the card.  Here’s a closer look:

I absolutely ADORE these little piggies.  I don’t know about you but I think pigs are extremely cute.  A crafty friend of mine has a pet pig and that pig is so smart it makes me want to have one as a pet.

For my second project, I did all those steps that I mentioned above.  However for my grass hill and trees, I inked up my Neenah solar white card stock with some freshly cut grass ink using some make-up brushes.  I really love how it turned out.

For my background, I inked up the background with Tumbled Glass and Spun Sugar distress oxide inks.  I also used the aged mahogany distress oxide inks to add the colorful speckles.  To create my clouds, I used the Cloudy Sky stencil by Newton’s Nook with some Peacock Feathers distress oxide ink.  Here’s a closer look:

The sentiment was stamped using Aged Mahogany distress oxide ink and “note to self”, next time wait for it to dry before adhering it to the card base.   I smudged the sentiment a little.  I didn’t want all of my efforts to be wasted so I am keeping the card as it is.  To finish the design, I used my Sakura white gel pen to add some dots and lines to the trees to give it a little dimension.  I do LOVE how both cards turned out (with the exception of my little boo-boo!).

I hope you like my cards.  The supplies I used are listed and linked below in case you are interested.  Thank you for stopping by my blog today and happy crafting!

NNDOink2A

Here’s how I made it:

  • stamp the balloon from the Fabulous Frenchies stamp set and die-cut with the coordinating die.
  • Ink up an A2 size piece of Bristol smooth white card stock with distress oxide inks.  I used Festive Berries and Candied Apple.
  • die-cut the grass with green patterned paper using the  grass die from the Land Border Die set by Newton’s Nook.
  • die-cut the Picket Fence and the Speech Bubble border using the Speech Bubble die set with some white card stock.
  • ink up some Bristol smooth white card stock with some Tumbled glass distress oxide ink.  Use the “birthday wishes” die to die-cut the sentiment.
  • use some white paint and smoosh them onto an acrylic block and splatter white paint all over the inked up background.
  • assemble the card.

Here’s a closer look:

NNDOink2B

I love, love, love this new stamp set.  I also used my Copic multi-liner pen to draw some eyelashes to the piggies.  I think they look cuter with eyelashes.  I finished my design by adding glossy accents to the balloon.  Here’s another look:
