I Be-Leaf in You Tag by Diane Morales

Spring Encouragement Tag!

Today we are sharing a happy spring tag by Diane!

This tag features:
Newton’s Hanging Basket Stamp Set
Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set
Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad
Essential Tags Die Set
Circle Frames Die Set

I started creating this tag by first stamping and coloring the images from Newton’s Hanging Basket.
I wanted the green on the leaves to stand out on the tag, and to do this I used several shades of green Alcohol markers. Some uncolored white area was left on the leaves to make the leaves look more like a philodendron plant. I also stamped out the heart and plenty of extra leaves for adding on to the tag later. After cutting all of my images out with the coordinating die, I turned my attention to creating the tag.

I thumbed through the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad and chose this orange stripe paper. This paper made the image pop and I knew it was going to be a winner!

I used the largest tag from the Essential Tags Die Set to die cut out my chosen paper.

To create a place for my sentiment I used the 2-inch circle from the Circle Frames Die Set. I embossed my sentiment with white embossing powder.

Now that all of the pieces are ready it is time to assemble my tag. I started my glue down by placing the sentiment circle in the lower left part of the tag.

Next, I placed my image at an angle above the sentiment circle. I decided on 2 hearts to the upper left part of the tag. Then I layered on all the extra leaves to give the image dimension.

To finish this tag, I defined the edge of the tag with a bright yellow marker.

I hope you enjoyed my take on this fun, spring tag featuring Newton’s Hanging Basket.
Thanks so much for stopping by.

Apple Branch Card by Samantha Mann

Creating an Apple Tree Branch

Today we are sharing a gorgeous apple card by Samantha featuring our Autumn Apples Stamp Set and our Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set

She created the gorgeous branch of apples using the apple image from the Autumn Apples Stamp Set. She stamped and colored the apple multiple times and cut the image out using the coordinating Autumn Apples Die Set. To create the branch she used the branch of blooms from our Cherry Blossoms Die Set. She stamped and colored this branch multiple times so that she had enough to span across her card. She cut the images out using the coordinating Cherry Blossoms Stamp Set. She then arranged the apples and the floral branches across her card to create the look of a loaded down apple branch! So cool! 

She wanted a few more little leaves so she used the tiny leaf stamp from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set, coloring the images and cutting them out using the coordinating Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set. She added the little leaves onto the branch and then spritzed it all with a bit of white paint for a bit of texture. 

She layered everything over a beautiful smoky background that she had created with alcohol inks. The apples really pop over the black!

We love the way Samantha mixed and matched the stamps together to create a unique and beautiful card!

I Be-Leaf in You Card by Samantha Mann

Be-LEAF in You!

Today Samantha pairs our Lattice Die Set and Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set to create an adorable card that is perfect for sending encouragement!

First she colored that naughty kitty getting into trouble from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set. She adds pink cheeks and stripes to the kitty for fun detail and trims it out using the Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set. 

For her card background she first stenciled a green panel using our Petite Flowers Stencil. She creates a tone on tone look, using green ink over a light green paper. This ties in with the plant theme so perfectly! 

Over the top she layers a fun panel that was created using our Lattice Die Set. Before cutting it out she inked the panel with shades of brown distress ink and brown and white splatters to add more fun detail!

This card is perfect for sending encouragement. Plus, that naughty kitty is sure to make someone smile!

Hang in There Card by Farhana Sarker

Hanging out with Newton

Today we're we're hanging out with Newton on this fun card by Farhana.

She started by stamping the cute kitty peeking out from the plant from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set. She colored the image using copic markers and trimmed it out using the coordinating Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set.  She then layered the image over a stitched circle that was cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set.

For her card, she created a background panel filled with leaves using our Trailing Leaves Stencil. She cut another stitched circle, this time from white and added the sentiment into the center. Then she layered the first circle over the top, adding a fold so that you can open it to reveal the message. 

This is such a fun and unique card layout! This card would be perfect for sending get well wishes or just to let someone know you are thinking of them. 

We hope you are inspired by this card layout and try to create a card like this of your own!

Plant-astic Kitty Card by Zsofia Molnar

Plant-astic Kitties!

Today Zsofia a fun plant themed card featuring our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set! 

For this card she started by stamping the image of the kitty in the basket from our Newton's Hanging Basket Stamp Set. She stamped the image twice and colored the leaves and baskets the same but gave the kitties different colors. So cute! She cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Hanging Basket Die Set. 

For her card she created a slimline card layout. She used the scallop edged die from our Slimline Frames & Portholes Die Set for the bright teal panel. Then she used the die with three windows from our Slimline Frames & Windows Die Set to cut a yellow-green frame and layered that over the top. She placed a kitty on each side, leaving the center for the sentiment. For the sentiment she chose to use the "you're Plant-astic" from our  Succulent Garden Stamp Set. What a great combination! 

Here are close-ups of both sides of the card so you can see the lovely coloring on those kitties:

We hope you have enjoyed this fun card by Zsofia today!
