Fireworks Card by Samantha Mann

Celebrate!

Today we are celebrating  summer with a beautiful card by Samantha feauting our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set and Fireworks Stencil.

To create this fun celebratory card Samantha stamped and colored the image of cat with the sparrklers and the image of the cat in dog in a wagon of fireworks from our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set. She used watercolor marks in tones of brown and red with just a touch of blue. Aren't the pink cheeks on the pets so cute? 

For her card backgound she inked a panel of white cardstock using shades of blue. She started with the darkest color at the top and faded down to white about two thirds of the way down the panel. Then she used our Fireworks Stencil and white texture paste to add the fireworks over the top. This panel was then added to her white card base, leaving a small strip of white on either side. 

Last, she added the message. She die cut a small black banner from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. Then she embossed the word "celebrate" from the Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set in white onto the banner and layered it over the fireworks. 

What a fabulous way to celebrate summer!

Happy New Year Card by Amanda Wilcox

 

Happy New Year!

Have you finished your Christmas Cards and are ready to move on to the New Year? Or maybe you're planning on Sending our New Year's Cards instead?  Either way, today we have the purr-fect New Year's inspiration by Amanda!

This card features the cute image of Newton on a giant firework from our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set. Although this stamp set has a 4th of July theme, all you need to do is change the sentiment to stretch it's use for other occasions! Amanda colored the image in fun bright pastels and cut it out using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set. Then she created a coordinating background for the New Year theme using our Fireworks Stencil with fun bright pastels! 

She layered Newton onto the sky and added the "Happy New Year" sentiment from our Newton's New Year Stamp Set, stamped onto a circle that was die cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. She added a few sparkly stars and silver splatters for a finishing touch!

What a fun way to get more out of your products! We hope this creation has helped you to think about ways to use your holiday stamps in different ways! 

We hope you enjoyed this Happy New Year card today! To say hello to Amanda and see more details you can visit her over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Have a Blast Card by Samantha Mann

BEEP! BOOP! 

Today Samantha is back and having a BLAST featuring our featuring rainbow robots and fireworks for an amazing celebratory card! 

She starts out by stamping the robot, robot dog and robot cat from our Love Bots Stamp Set! She colors them in metallic grays and adds rainbow colors to each of them to add a bit of fun and whimsy! She also adds pink cheeks and white gel pen accents for finishing touches to her coloring! She cuts the images out using the coordinating Love Bots Die Set.

For the card background she creates rainbow sky filled with fireworks using our Fireworks Stencil. On top of the rainbow colors she adds a bit of sparkle using sparkly texture paste over the middles of each firework burst. Then she uses our Essential Alphabet Die Set to cut out the words "Beep Boop" from the center of the panel. She also embosses the words "Have a" and "blast" from our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set onto black cardstock. She stacks the words above and below the die cut letters to create a fun custom sentiment.  What an amazing idea!

We hope that you have enjoyed this card today by Samantha! Don't forget to look at your stamps and try mixing and matching words and images to stretch your stamps for different uses!

Celebrate with Newton!

Today are are getting in the mood for a summer celebration with this festive card by Tina! 

For her card today, Tina created a gorgeous sky filled with red and blue fireworks using our Fireworks Stencil, perfect for the 4th of July!

Next, she stamped and colored that cute image of newton riding a firecracker from our Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set. She colored the firecracker in red and blue to match the fireworks and made the kitty a neutral gray. The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set and layered on top of a scalloped circle that was cut using our Circle Frames Die Set. She also stamped some additional fireworks onto the circle using the Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set again. So adorable! 

For a sentiment she kept it simple, embossing the word "celebrate!" from the Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set onto a blue banner that was cut out using the little banner die from our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. 

For a bit more fun and sparkle she added some glittery stars and sparkly gems in the background. What a fun way to celebrate this summer!

Have a Blast Card by Zsofia Molnar

Have a Blast!

Today Zsofia is showing us how to have a blast with the Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set! Although this set has a 4th of July theme, there are images and sentiments in it that can be uses all year long! For her card today, Zsofia creates a fun celebratory card that would be perfect for a birthday, or to celebrate any special day! She colored the image of the kitty riding a rocket in red and blue. The image was cut out using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set. Then she layered it over a blue frame that was die cut out using our Framework Die Set. For the background, she used our Fireworks Stencil to create a fun sparkly red pattern with sparkly texture paste! So fun!  She also tucked the sentiment into the corner, adding it onto a little white banner that was cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set

Here is a close up so you can see all the lovely details. Don't you love all that sparkle!?

Find Your Happy Place Card by Samantha VanArnhem

Find your Happy Place!

Newton is definitely finding his happy place among the flowers on this adorable card by Samantha! 

To create this fun floral frame she used the big square image from our Floral Fringe Stamp Set. She added some light colors onto some of the flowers to give a soft pop of color and then cut the image out using the Frames Squared Die Set. She also cut a center circle out of the image using the same die set. 

Then, she stamped the kitty from our new Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set, but since she's only showing his face, you could really use almost any kitty set from our Newton Category. She colored the kitty with adorable gray stripes and cut the image out using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set. She placed the image inside the circle so just the kitty face pop up behind the flowers! How adorable! 

To finish her card, she added the "find your happy place" sentiment from the Newton's Birdhouse Stamp Set over the kitties head and mounted it onto a square card base. 

This card is sure to brighten someone's day!

Thanks, Sam, for the inspiration today! To say hello to her and see more of her beautiful creations you can visit Samantha over on her blog, Sam Van Designs!

Happy 4th of July!

Today we are celebrating the 4th of July with this beautiful card by Maria! 

To create this amazing celebratory scene she stamped and colored two images from our new Newton's 4th of July Stamp Set. She colored the kitties in puppies in neutral colors and added pops of color on their accessories! Don't you just love that teal colored wagon!? The images were cut out using the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set. 

For that incredible background she created a colorful sky using distress inks. Then she stenciled fireworks over the top using a metallic gold paste with our new Fireworks Stencil. The effect is so beautiful! Along the top and bottom she added white stitched edges using our Sea Borders Die Set. The finishing touch is the "Happy 4th of July" sentiment, embossed in white onto a banner that was die cut with our Frames & Flags Die Set. 

What a perfect way to celebrate! To see more beautiful projects by Maria you can visit her over at her blog, Maria Russell Designs and don't forget to subscribe to her YouTube channel too!

Celebrate! 4th of July Card by June Guest Designer Melissa Andrew

Hi ya everyone Melissa here today to share an adorable new release card made with Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set and the new Fireworks Stencil! Let’s get started!

I wanted simple for today’s card to showcase little Newton on his firecracker from the Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set. I started by stamping Newton in alcohol safe black ink and then coloring him with reds, blues and grays! I also fussy cut him, but you could use the coordinating Newton's 4th of July Die Set to cut him out much easier!

Next, I wanted to create a watercolor type background. I adhered watercolor paper to a board and used ink sprays to color a paper with reds and blues, adding water to thin out the color and allow it to spread on the paper.

After that panel dried, I cut it to 5.5 inch x 4.25 inch and adhered to an A2 card base. Next, I used the Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a white piece of paper to place on top. 

The largest die in this set cuts a stitched edge, so I taped off the edge and then used ink in red and blue with the Fireworks Stencil. I wanted a light and airy appearance.

However, this stencil works so fabulous in so many ways!  The ability to ink blend, then move your stencil slightly and add sparkle paste is so fun.  Also, sparkle paste on black paper for a night sky is also so beautiful.  I adore this stencil so much.

I adhered my firework layer to the card base and watercolor panel.  Last I stamped "celebrate" from the Newton’s 4th of July Stamp Set and then popped up little Newton with foam dots for a completed card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s simple creation using new products from Newton’s Nook Designs.  I will be back next Monday for my final card.
