Joyful Holiday Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Joyful Holiday Friends

Today Tatiana has created a beautiful holiday card featuring the forest friends from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set. 

For this fun card she stamped and colored the image of the deer and bunny peeking around the snowman from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set. She used fun pastel colors, giving the snowman an adorable pink hat! Then she cut the image out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set. She then cut a pair of tall thin trees using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to nestle beside the cute image. She added some ink blending to the trees and a bit of snow too. 

She layered the images onto a tag that was die cut from a pice of light blue gingham paper from our Spring Blooms Paper Pad using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She also added a layer of vellum over the patterned paper to soften the look.  She also added the word "joy" and a few snowflakes, die cut using shapes from our Snow Globe Shaker Die Set.

For her card base, she created a soft and sparkly snow background, using our Snowfall Stencil with a mix of white, clear and teal texture pastes. What a gorgeous effect!

Have you started working on holiday cards yet? We hope this card by Tatiana has inspired you!

A Woodland Christmas Greeting by Jennifer Jackson

Merry Christmas!

Hello! Jen here today with a lovely Christmas card with a woodsy feel! Perfect for the nature lover!

To create this card I started by stamping the image of the deer wearing the holiday wreath from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set. I colored the image with copic markers and then cut it out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set. 

Next, I created a scene for the little deer to sit in. I used our Evergreens Stencil with brown ink over a kraft colored cardstock to create a fun tone on tone forest of trees. I then used our Frames & Flags Die Set to cut the tree panel and give it that nice stitched edge with rounded corners.  I then cut out a snowy hill using our Land Borders Die Set with white cardstock. I cut it again with the same stitched rectangle from  the Frames & Flags Die Set so I could line up the stitched edging. Doesn't this make a cozy scene for the deer to sit in? 

I added the sentiment "Merry Christmas" from the Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set along the top of the scene. Then I added created a panel with a fun red pattern using our Houndstooth Stencil with brown ink over a red cardstock piece. This really adds to the fun and festive feeling. The finishing touch is a piece of green twine to match the wreath!

I hope you have enjoyed this card today and are inspired to mix and match your stamps and stencils to create unique holiday scenes!

Oh Deer, Christmas Card by Andrea Shell

Oh, Deer!

Oh Deer! Christmas will be here soon, are you ready? The cute deer on this card by Andrea are ready to send adorable holiday greetings today! She created this darling card using the sweet deer from two different stamp sets. The deer pulling all the gifts on a sled is from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set and the duo of deer on the left are from our Deer Friend Stamp Set. These cuties work perfectly together. She colored all the images and cut them out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set and Deer Friend Die Set. Then she created a fun long format card to showcase this lovely winter scene. She started with a pink sky and added a snowy hill along the bottom using our Land Borders Die Set. Then she added trees that were cut out using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set. She cut the trees out of white paper and then hand colored in the green, leaving portions of the white to look like snow! What a fabulous idea!

Here is a are some close ups so you can see the details and coloring:

Thank you, Andrea, for this sweet deer card today! To see more fun creations by Andrea, you can visit her over at her blog, Blissfully Scrappy too!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Day 3 - Chari Moss

Welcome to day three of our Deck the Halls with Inky Paws week! 

Each day this week we will have a new awesome featured guest and then a BIG blog hop on Friday, December 6th (with some give-aways, of course!) So make sure you come back and visit us every day!

Today's Featured guest is Chari Moss

Hi my name is Chari Moss and I live in the mountains of NC. I work as an architect by day and get crafty in the evenings. I like bright and happy designs with lots of color and enjoy creating scenes with cute stamped images.

Here's what Chari created:

Chari created an amazing tall tri-folding winter scene that will melt your heart! She used the adorable deer images from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set. She colored the sweet deer pulling the gifts and the deer wearing a wreath in festive colors. She also added a bit of shimmer to the red berries. Behind the deer she a created a winter forest, adding trees that were stenciled using our Evergreen Stencil. She added a bit of glitter to the edges of the stenciled branches too for an extra special touch. 

Here is how the tri-fold card opens:

Once you open the right side, you see just the scene with the deer and wreath. Isn't it cool how she cut around the stenciled trees to make a fun folded shape?

Then you can fold the other side open:

This reveals a new scene that was hidden by the other layers! In this center scene she used the image of the deer peeking around the snowman at the bunny from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set. How adorable is that!?

We hope this fun project will inspire you to think of new and creative ways to fold cards and create scenes! 

Thanks so much, Chari for being our guest today! She will be back for our Deck the Halls with Inky Paws blog hop on Friday, December 6th. Until then, you can visit her at her blog, Mossy Made to read more about her adorable projects and say hello!

Tomorrow we will have special Guest Barbara from Barbara's Paper Pursuits

so make sure you take some time to come back and visit us again! 

Festive Fawns Card by November Guest Designer Amanda Wilcox

Welcome back to my second week of guest designing for Newton's Nook. Thank you for stopping by. Today I'm sharing this sweet, soft card featuring Festive Fawns Stamp Set and dies and the Snowfall Stencil.  

This card was inspired by a quilt my coworker is sewing and I loved the color palette so much I had to make a card using it. I started by coloring and die cutting my fawn image. Then stenciled the snowflakes with pink using a blender brush. For that perfect green I ended up ink blending a piece of cardstock and die cutting the circle from that. That looked too plain so I took the snowflake image from the stamp set and stamped it in a darker green all over the circle.

Assembly was simple, popping my snowflake panel up with foam tape on a white card base and adding the green ribbon and bow. Then also popping up the circle with foam tape and the fawn with foam squares. When everything was where I wanted it, I stamped my sentiment in the same pink as the snowflakes in the upper right corner of the card.

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the fawn's nose, holly berries, and stripes and dots of packages. I added white gel pen detail around the image and finished with a scattering of pink jelly hearts around the background.

I love the images in the Festive Fawns Stamp Set. They are the perfect size to stand alone on a card but also small enough to put together or even mix with other stamp sets. And they are so fun to color!

I appreciate you sharing your time with me. Have a fabulous day!

Deer Holiday Wishes Card by Zsofia Molnar

Deer Holiday Wishes!

Today Zsofia created a sweet holiday scene, filled with fun and festive details! She started by coloring the image of the fawn peeking around the deer at the bunny from our new Festive Fawns Stamp Set. The image was cut out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set. Then she created an adorable background scene using trees that were die cut using our Forest Scene Builder Die Set. She also added a hill that was cut from sparkly paper with our Land Borders Die Set. The whole scene was nestled inside a stitched square that was cut out using our Frames Squared Die Set. She also used the scalloped square from the Frames Squared Die Set for the purple scalloped frame.  Underneath the framed scene she added the sentiment, also from our Festive Fawns Stamp Set.

Zsofia added extra amazing details to this scene too! She added bits of snow to the tree branches and the brim of the snowman's hat using a puffy embossing powder. She used glossy accents to add some dimension and shine to the carrot, berries, buttons and noses. Last, she used a clear simmer pen to add extra sparkle to the scarf and hat! Everything is so gorgeous!

Here are a couple of close up photos so you can see the incredible details:

Sweet Deer and Wreath Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Such a "Deer" Noel Card!

Today we have a lovely deer themed Holiday card by Tatiana. She used the sweet image of the deer wearing a holiday wreath from our new Festive Fawns Stamp Set. She colored the image of the deer and the little bird, also from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set and cut them out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set. For her card she continued on the wreath theme and created a wreath using branches that she die cut using our Pines & Holly Die Set in two shades of green. She arranged them in a circle on her card and added the deer and bird in the corner. She added the "noel" sentiment  on the opposite side of the wreath as the fawn, using a die cut from the Main Street Christmas Die Set. The background of the card also featured some snowflakes in white from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set. Such a sweet pairing! A baker's twine bow and some sparkly berries on the wreath give the perfect finishing touch!

Here's a close up so you can see all the fun sparkle on the nose of the fawn and the berries on the wreath!

Thank you for the adorable Holiday inspiration today, Tatiana! If you like this project you can see more of Tatiana's work over on her blog, Tatiana Craft and Art.

Holiday Wishes for a Deer Friend Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Deer Friends Card!

Today Ellen has combined several fun products to create an adorable winter scene! This scene features the image of the deer peeking around the snowman from our new Festive Fawns Stamp Set. She colored this sweet image and cut it out using the coordinating Festive Fawns Die Set. To make a fun scene she paired it with the little row of houses from our Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set in the background. She added to the winter theme with layers of snowy hills cut out using our Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Set. The sparkly sky was created using sparkly embossing paste with our Starfield Stencil. Then she framed the whole thing using  he postage edge from our Framework Die Set.

Ellen is a genius at creating scenes! Do you like to create scenes but don't know where to start? See her tips below on how she created this one!

Tips on creating this scene!

Below we have some tips from Ellen on how she created a fun winter scene!

1. Color your images as you like. I used images from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set and Snow Globe Scenes Stamp Set. Here I used Zig Markers, these are watercolor markers. They help you to have more control over your watercoloring. The images were cut out using their coordinating die sets.
2. Then you can make your background. First I watercolored my background with Holbein Watercolors. Secondly I also added Glitz Glitter Gell in white by using the Starfield Stencil.
3. When everything is dry you can put your card together. I used the biggest frame from the Framework Die Set and added snow hills by cutting borders with the Land Borders Die Set and Sea Borders Die Set.

There are so many fun ways to combine our products for creative scenes! We love hearing the process on how Ellen created this!
