Next, she created a fun bookmark for the images to layer onto. She cut out the bookmark in blue and white using our Bookmark Die Set. She added waves onto the blue bookmark using our Waves Stencil with white texture paste. So fun! She then added on the sentiment from the Tides of Love Stamp Set onto a circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set and ink blended to match the seashells. A bit of ribbon and twine were used the tie the bookmarks together.

This fun creation could be tied onto a gift, using the white layer to write a message or the recipients name, and then the recipient would have a bookmark to use after the gift was opened! What a fun idea!

Turtle-y Awesome!

This awesome underwater card created by Samantha is turtle-y awesome!

To create this beautiful card she started coloring a trio of turtles that she stamped using our Tides of Love Stamp Set. This set is perfect for Valentine cards since all the under sea creatures have hearts in their designs, but today Samantha uses just the turtles to create a fun card that could be sent any time of year! the cute colored turtles were cut out using the coordinating Tides of Love Die Set before she added them to the card.

For the card, she created an underwater scene for the turtles to swim in. She ink blended a background with blue on top and brown on bottom to represent an underwater scene. Water and paint splatters along the bottom help it look like sand. Then she used our Sunscape Stencil some white texture paste to create rays of light! She cut the panel out using our Frames & Flags Die Set to give it fun scalloped edge and then added on the trio of turtles! Doesn't it look amazing? She added the sentiment, embossed in white on a black banner (also cut out using the Frames & Flags Die Set). A few water droplet embellishments give this card a perfect finishing touch!

 You light up my Life Card by Ellen Haxelmans | Holiday Lights Stamp Set, Heart Frames Die Set, Lights Strings Stencil Set, Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates and Banner Duo Die Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Light up some Love!

Today Ellen shares how to stretch your supplies and create a love themed card using holiday stamps and stencils! 

For her card base she a beautiful colored background panel using distress inks in shades of pink and red.  Then she used Light Strings Stencil Set to add a fun lightbulb pattern. This stencil includes two layers and she inked the layer that has just the strings and lightbulb bases with a dark red distress ink. Then she used the second layer of the stencil (that has the lightbulb tops) and added foil using transfer gel to give the bulbs a bit of fun shimmer! She cut the panel down to fit inside the scallop edged frame from our Frames & Flags Die Set

For her main image she used the lightbulb from our Holiday Lights Stamp Set. To create a love theme with the lightbulb she added a heart to the center with a yellow glow around it. The bulb was cut out with the coordinating Holiday Lights Die Set. She then layered the bulb over a vellum heart that was cut out using our Heart Frames Die Set

To add to the Love theme, she used the sentiment "you light up my life" from the Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plate. She used a hot foil machine to foil the sentiment in gold onto red cardstock and then cut it out using the Banner Duo Die Set

Isn't this a fun way to stretch those holiday stamps and stencils to create a fun love themed project? We hope this has inspired you to take a look at your holiday sets and see if they can be stretched to use for different occassions!
