Shaker Card Duo by Ellen Haxelmans

Shaker Card Duo!

Today we are sharing a duo of Holiday shaker cards by Ellen!

To create this duo of shakers she used both our Ornament Shaker Die Set and Snow Globe Shaker Die Set. She cut the shapes out in fun bright pastels and made them into shakers filled with glittery sparkle. She added the words joy and wish to the fronts of the shakers along with some snowflake shapes, all die cut using the extra shapes from the Snow Globe Shaker Die Set. She also adds a bow to the front of the snow globe, die cut using our Pines & Holly Die Set.  

In the background of each shaker she adds more sparkle by using our Confetti Hot Foil Plate to foil silver confetti! For more fun, she covers each of the card bases with patterened paper using our  Love & Chocolate Paper Pad!

What a gorgeous set of cards, filled with fun pops of color and sparkle!

Christmas Ornament Shaker Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Christmas Ornament Card

Today Ellen created a wonderful Christmas Ornament card that features a combination of cutting dies and papers from Newton's Nook Designs! 

For the main image Ellen created an ornament using our Ornament Shaker Die Set. She cut the shaker frame from black cardstock and the top from glittery silver cardstock. Then she cut the background using the pretty print of a holiday street from our Christmas Time Paper Pad! She filled the shaker window with shimmery sequins to add a fun holiday sparkle! A bit of blue ribbon from through the top of the ornament ties in perfectly with the blue sky on the paper!

For her card base she chose a light blue, matching the ribbon and sky. Then she added a panel of argyle printed paper from our Canine Christmas Paper Pad. She framed it with a die cut scalloped frame, cut out using our Frames & Flags Die Set and black cardstock. 

The finishing touch is the word "Christmas" across the bottom. This was die cut from sparkly silver paper using our Holiday Greetings Die Set. 

Isn't it wonderful how everything coordinates perfectly together!? We love the festive feeling the sparkle adds to this card! To see more creations by Ellen, you can visit her over at her blog Crafty Ellen!

Feeling Slothy Card by Amy Tsuruta

Feeling Slothy?

With holiday season just around the corner it's easy to get overwhelmed. If you are feeling a bit slothy about that to do list, a little coffee might help! Today we have the perfect card to inspire you by Amy!  This card features that cute sleepy sloth from our Slothy Coffee Stamp Set! She added on a mug of coffee too, stamping it from our Newton Loves Coffee Stamp Set. So fun! She colored the images in neutral shades, adding pastel purple and mint for a lovely soft color palette. She cut the image out using the coordinating Slothy Christmas Die Set to layer onto her card. 

For the card base she created layers of purple and mint using our Framework Die Set. On the inner scalloped layer she also added a coffee cup pattern using our Mugs Stencil. Doesn't it go perfectly with the theme? Behind the sloth she added a vellum scalloped circle, cut out using our Circle Frames Die Set and on top she added the sentiment, stamped onto a shape that was cut out with our Ornament Shaker Die Set. Isn't it fun how this ornament shape doubles as a speech bubble!? 

This card would be a perfect addition to the Coffee Lovers blog Hop, going on this week! You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog to find out how you can link up your card to play along -- There are a TON of prizes, including one from us at Newton's Nook Designs.

She created a fun cold scene for them, adding some gifts in the lower corner using the Santa Paws Newton Stamp Set and the coordinating Die Set. Do you think they're crossing the water to grab their gifts!? She also added some snowflakes in the sky and attached stockings to the trees in the background using the little die cut confetti shapes from our Ornament Shaker Die Set. What a fun idea!

Merry Everything Card by Tatiana Trafimovich

Merry Everything! 

Have you started on your Christmas cards yet? Today we have a gorgeous ornament card by Tatiana that will help put you in a holiday mood! She used our Ornamental Shaker Die Set to create a mask for the two ornament shapes. She layered our Snowfall Stencil over the mask and used deco foil transfer gel from Therm O Web on it. Once the gel was dry she add the blue flock by layering it over the top of the stenciled pattern and sending it through a heat laminator. This gives the ornaments a fun textured look and feels fuzzy too! She added the silver ornament tops, using glitter paper with our Ornamental Shaker Die Set. In the corner she added the "Merry Everything" sentiment from our Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set, embossed with silver embossing powder.

Here's a video by Tatiana showing you how she created this beautiful card:

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

The flock creates a soft fuzzy texture on all those spooky ghosts! She also used our  Framework Die Set to create the orange postage edged frame for the ghosts.

For the ghost in the circle,  she masked off one ghost from our Ghosts Stencil and used a combination of  Glitz Glitter Gel in White and Metallix Gel in White Pearl to create a custom sparkly gel. Isn't the ghost so cute popping out of the sentiment? The "good vibes" sentiment is from our Tropical Fringe Stamp Set and was embossed using glow-in-the-dark embossing powder. The circle was mounted onto a stitched circle that was cut out using the Frames Squared Die Set.
