Newton's Nook Designs & Wow Embossing Powder Inspiration Week - Day 3 with Tatiana & Jennifer

Newton's Nook Designs and WOW embossing powders are collaborating all week long to offer you inspiration using their products together! Both design teams will be sharing fun ways to use embossing powders on your projects using WOW embossing powders paired with Newton's Nook Designs stamps! 

Today we are featuring projects by Tatiana and Jennifer! 

First up we are sharing a fun ghost card by Tatiana: 

This adorable ghost card by Tatiana is perfect for a cheerful Halloween greeting! She used our Ghosts Stencil and applied Versamark ink over it. Then she used the White Puff embossing powder from WOW! to embossing the ghosts. This powder gives the ghosts a bit of texture too! She used our Boo Hoo Stamp Set for all the little thought bubbles, stamping them with a slow drying ink so she could add Neutral Ultra Shimmer embossing powder from WOW! to the sentiments for a bit of extra sparkle. She cut the thought bubbles out using the coordinating Boo Hoo Die Set. She also added googly eyes onto the ghosts for more fun. 

Here's a close-up so you can see the texture and sparkle from the embossing powders:

 Next, we have gorgeous duo of sparkly winter cards by Jennifer (owner of Newton's Nook Designs):

For her first card, she stamped the silhouettes of two ice skaters from our Winter Memories Stamp Set using Versamark ink. She embossed them using Fool's Gold embossing powder from Wow! Embossing Powders. She also stamped the trees with Versamark ink and embossed them using Green Glitz embossing powder from WOW! She cut the images out using the coordinating Winter Memories Die Set  and then used the images to create a winter scene, adding in a hill using our Land Borders Die Set. She also created a skating pond for them using the image from the Winter Memories Stamp Set with Versamark ink and embossing it with Sparkling Snow embossing powder from WOW! For the background she cut out the postage edged panel using our Framework Die Set. To finish the card she added the sentiment onto the kraft colored sky using  Opaque Bright White embossing powder from WOW!

For her second card Jennifer created a fun winter scene featuring the deer from our Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set. She stamped the deer using Versamark ink and then embossed them using Fool's Gold embossing powder from WOW! She cut the deer out using the coordinating Serene Silhouettes Die Set to add to her card. The snowy hills were cut from white paper using our Land Borders Die Set. In the background she added a cluster of birch trees from the Serene Silhouettes Stamp Set, embossing them using Sparkling Snow embossing powder from WOW! She added the vellum banner using our Frames & Flags Die Set and added the "noel" sentiment to it from our Sentiments of the Season Stamp Set. The sentiment was embossed using  Red Glitz  embossing powder from WOW!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Day 4 - Jessica Frost-Ballas

Welcome to day four 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 9th (with some give-aways, of course!) So make sure you come back and visit us every day!

Today's Featured guest is
Jessica Frost-Ballas

For those who may not know me, my name is Jessica and I blog over at All the Sparkle! I live in the Shenandoah Valley of Virginia with my incredibly supportive husband (just don't show him my ink pad stash!), two adorable shelties, a crazy tortoiseshell cat, and a senior dutch bunny. I am a professional musician by day and a papercrafter by night (or really early morning)! I enjoy creating cards for my friends and family and I can often be found watercoloring a few images or embossing a sentiment in-between lessons and gigs! I love experimenting with new techniques and mediums and I usually can’t resist adding a little extra sparkle to all of my cards and projects!

Here's what Jessica created

A trio of gorgeous winter scene cards with our Serene Silhouettes stamp set! 

The first card features the birch trees and a sweet little bunny couple from our Serene Silhouettes stamp set under and pink to purple ombré sky! So stunning! 

For her second card she switched it up to sparkly silver deer and birch trees from the Serene Silhouettes stamp set. This card has such a lovely clam feeling to it and the sparkle really adds a touch of elegance! 

Her third card using the Serene Silhouettes stamp set features the fox couple in gold sparkle! The yellow to red ombré sky really gives this card a gorgeous pop of color! What a wonderful winter sunset! 

Make sure you head over to All the Sparkle to get more details on these three amazing cards!
