Interactive Newton Card by June Guest Designer Megan Quinn




Hi everyone and happy Monday! I am back again this week guest designing for Newton’s Nook and I am so excited that you stopped in today to see what we have in store for you! Today, I am sharing a card that I created using Newton’s Summer Vacation Stamp Set and Newton Scoots By Stamp Set stamp sets.

I began by stamping the hilarious cat image with little Newton peering into the fish bowl. I thought that it would be fun to make this into an interactive card by putting Newton’s head onto a slider mechanism so that he could get a closer look into the fish bowl (and the fish inside). I stamped this image several times, colored them with Copic markers, and fussy cut the parts of Newton that I needed for each layer. I then used a craft knife to cut the inside of the fish bowl away and backed the rim of the bowl with acetate. I cut the pebbles and seaweed from the bottom of the aquarium and the fish image out next. To make these pieces stick to the inside of the fish bowl, I put the images into my sticker maker face down so that the adhesive would be on the front of the image. I put the fish, pebbles, and seaweed on the back of the acetate where they would line up with the original fish bowl image underneath. I was careful to add foam adhesive to the back of the fish bowl only on the edges and where Newton’s head would not come into contact with the foam adhesive. I then fussy cut Newton’s front paw out and adhered that to the side of the fish bowl with liquid glue and foam tape as well.

To create the background, I used Salty Ocean Distress Oxide Ink and blended the ink onto a white piece of cardstock. I then flicked water droplets onto the background and blotted it dry with a clean paper towel. I added some patterned paper at the bottom of the front panel to create a table for the fish bowl and little Newton to sit upon. I adhered Newton’s head onto the slider mechanism. Lastly, I adhered the front panel to a card base that I had layered with a contrasting piece of cardstock to add a pop of color.

I hope that my card has inspired you to look at your stamps in a new and different way! I have one more card to share with you, so please come back next Monday.

 Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
