Vibrant Winter Scenes by Ellen Haxelmans

Vibrant Winter Scenes!

Today Ellen has created a duo of vibrant winter themed cards using sets from our Retirement Sale Category! There are several holiday and winter designs in our retiring sale that are only available while supplies last so it's a great time to get a jump start on your holiday cards for next year and receive a discount on the products!

Her first card features the snowboarding moose from our retiring Moose Mountain Stamp Set:

This card features a gorgeous orange and yellow background that was stenciled using inks with our Snowfall Stencil. She also used our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Sets to cut white snow.  and added black tree silhouettes using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set. The whole scene was cut out with our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it a scalloped edge. 

Her second card features the sweet llama with gifts on his back from our retiring Llama Delivery Stamp Set:

For this card she created a square layout using our Frames Squared Die Set to create the layers. She added stars to the sky using our Cascading Stars Stencil. Stars and a cloud were die cut using our Sky Scene Builder Die Set. She also added snowy hills using our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Sets.

Here are instructions from Ellen for creating these cards:

• (Left photo above): I stamped the images using Llama Delivery Stamp Set and the Moose Mountain Stamp Set and colored them with copic markers. Colors listed below:
  
  LLAMA:
  Red: R27, R24, R22
  Green: YG05, YG03, YG01
  Teal: BG13, BG11, BG10
  Blue: B00, B02
  White: E43, E41, E40
  Grey: C9, C7, C5
  
  MOOSE:
  Blue: Bg09, BG07, BG05 + BG13, BG11, BG10
  Yellow: Y14, Y12, YR02
  Orange: YR09, YR07, YR20
  Red: R39, R29, R27, R24
  Grey: W4, W3, W1
  Black: 100, C9, C7
  Brown: E29, E27, E25, E23
  
  
• (Center photo above): I colored the backgrounds with ink and went over them with a stencil and the same ink. This creates a pretty tone on tone background.
  
  
• (Right photo above): At the last step I die cut some trees and clouds form the Sky scene builder and Forest scene builder die set.

Meow's it Going? Slimline Card by Amanda Wilcox

Meows it Going?

What is better than receiving a happy hello in the mail? Today we're sharing a card by Amanda that would certainly make someone smile if they found it in their mailbox!

For this adorable card, Amanda features the trio of kitties playing outdoors from our Captivated Kittens Stamp Set. She stamped and colored each image using gorgeous spring tones and giving each kitty a different fur color. Then she cut the trio out using the coordinating Captivated Kittens Die Set. 

For the card base, she choose to create a slimline card to give room to showcase all three images! She inked the card base with the fun pattern from our Basketweave Stencil. Then she used our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set to cut a frame. This is perfect because it has three square windows and each kitty gets his own little scene. Inside each window frame she used our Clouds Stencil and Hills & Grass Stencil to create the little scenes. Then she assembled it all together, using dimensional adhesives to give the images some height. 

For the sentiment, she used our Speech Bubbles Die Set to cut a speech bubble and stamped "Meow's it going" inside. So adorable! 

Here are a few close-ups so you can see each little kitties square:

We hope this project by Amanda has made you smile! To say hello to Amanda and see more details you can visit her over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Seas the Day Card by Maria Russell

SEAS the day!

Today Maria has created a fun underwater greeting that will inspire you to SEAS the day! 

For this fun card she combined two sets from our Retirement Sale. First, she used the cute manatee duo from our Manatee-rific Stamp Set. She stamped and colored them in neutral hues. Aren't they adorable? 

Next, she created an underwater scene for these friends. She started by masking off a circle and ink blending inside it. Then she added some bubbles and splashes, stamped using our retiring Tranquil Tides Stamp Set. On the lower right she added a couple of bold coral images, also stamped from our Tranquil Tides Stamp Set and cut out using the Tranquil Tides Die Set.  

The finishing touch is the sentiment "SEAS the DAY" stamped from the Tranquil Tides Stamp Set along with some pretty pearls. 

We hope you enjoyed this fun inspiration by Maria today!  You can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs to see more of her lovely work!

Note: The Manatee-rific Stamp Set and Tranquil Tides Stamp Set are part of our retiring sale and will only be available while supplies last so if you like these products, make sure you get it while you can and don't forget to see what else is retiring in our retiring sale category! 

Get Well Kitty Cards by Jennifer Jackson

Get Well Kitty Cards!

Hello! Jen here today. I realized that didn't have very many get well cards in my stash so I decided to make a few and today I'm sharing 3 sweet kitty themed cards that are purr-fect for sending get well wishes. 

I started by stamping images from our Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set. The kitty with the blanket and thermometer in his mouth is so cute, isn't he? I colored the image using alcohol markers. On the blanket I colored it green and then used the colorless blender to remove color for lighter stripes. I also added some darker green and blue to for several colors of stripes. This turned out so cute! I cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Sick Day Die Set and then mounted it on a white circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set. I added the sentiment "hope you're feline better soon!" from the Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set onto the circle. 

For the background I used yellow dot and green gingham patterned papers from our Autumn Paper Pad and added in the bright blue striped paper from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. The trio of prints is framed with a postage edged frame, die cut using our Framework Die Set.  A few sequins in coordinating colors finish off the card. 

I made a second card using the exact same image from the Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set. This time I colored the blanket blue with alcohol markers and used the same technique as above with the colorless blender to remove ink. This time I created dots. I also added in some dark blue and yellow dots too.  Again, I used the  coordinating Newton's Sick Day Die Set to cut out the image and a white circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set with the same sentiment as above. 

For the background I used the same yellow dot and green gingham patterned papers from our Autumn Paper Pad and added in the bright blue striped paper from our Coffee House Stories Paper Pad. Again, I used a postage edge frame that die cut using our Framework Die Set and a  few sequins in coordinating colors finish off the card. 

The last card I created uses a different stamp and layout. This time I used the image of the kitty with the bowl of soup from the Newton's Sick Day Stamp Set. 

I kept with a similar color theme as the other two cards, using blues and greens with a gray kitty. I cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's Sick Day Die Set. Then I cut out a decorative square using our Frames Squared Die Set. I used distress inks on the square to color it so that it matched the bowl. I also added the sentiment in the upper right corner of the decorative square shape. 

For this card I used our Bokeh Stencil Set to create a background of cheerful yellow dots. This set has two layers that can be combined for a bokeh effect but you can use just one of the layers by itself to create fun dots, which is what I did here. I added a bit of white cotton twine and then mounted it onto a green cardstock base to match the green on the soup bowl. 

I had so much fun creating this trio of get well cards. I hope they bring the recipients some cheer! I hope you enjoyed this inspiration today! 

Floral Get Well Card with Guest Designer Brennan Keane

Today we are sharing another post with our very special guest. We featuring the work of the young and talented Brennan Keane! Brennan is a big fan of creating cards featuring flowers and we are enjoying all his lovely floral cards over on instagram at bkd_creations! Today we are excited to share a card he created especially for our blog! Keep reading on to view his lovely project today!

 

Hello everyone again!
My name is Brennan and I am a 15 year old crafter from Boston!
This is my second guest design for Newton’s Nook and it has been an absolutely amazing experience! In almost all of my paper crafting creations, flowers are involved. For this guest design, I wanted to use one of the many flower stamps from Newton’s Nook. After looking through all of the great options, I decided on the Lovely Blooms stamp set! 

I first stamped out the larger of the flowers, the stem, and the large leaf. Instead of using my typical ink (which is distress ink in the color black soot) to stamp the flower, I used the VersaFine Clair ink pad in the color Nocturne.

I then covered the ink with clear embossing powder and heated it up. I then colored the flower with copic markers. I used RV10 as the base and then blended R81 on top to get the gradient. I used G24 for the leaf and stem and added Y15 for the centers of each flower. After everything was colored, I cut the images out with the coordinating dies and assembled the flower. I used liquid glue, but you could use whatever adhesive is your favorite! I just like the extra time the liquid glue gives me to adjust the pieces if needed.

To add interest to the card, I blended some of Catherine Pooler’s ink in the color Garden Party through the Serene Stripes Stencil. After the background was created, I stamped the Get Well Soon sentiment from the Daffodils Stamp Set (another one of my favorites)! While I don’t do this too often, I decided to pop up the card with foam squares. To put the finishing touch on this card, I added a few green embellishment gems and a black border to the card front before gluing it to the card base!

There you have it! I really hope you all enjoyed reading my second guest design. This experience working with Newton’s Nook has been absolutely amazing. Thank you for taking the time out of your day to read this post and as always, happy crafting!
