I Just Plane Like You! Circular Easel Card by Amanda Wilcox

I Just Plane Like You!

Today Amanda has created a fun card featuring that cute bear driving an airplane from our Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. This set has several sentiments that fit inside the banner behind the plane and Amanda has chosen to use "I just PLANE like you!" She colored the cute bear in his plane with copic markers in fun shades of teal and salmon pink. So cute! To cut the images out she used the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set. Behind Winston, she created a sky using our new Petite Clouds Stencil with light blue flock. This adds such a fun fuzzy effect to those clouds!

For the card, she created a circular easel card using our Circle Frames Die Set. She simply cut the large scalloped circle out multiple times, adding folds so that when you open the card up, you can keep it in a standing position.

Here is a side view so you can see how it looks opened up:

The strip along the bottom is popped up using a dimensional so that it holds the card in place! She also added the "you are amazing" sentiment onto this strip using our Floral Roundabout Stamp Set.  

Here is a close-up of the coloring and the flocked background:

We hope you are inspired by this gorgeous card today! Have you ever tried to create an easel card? If you are inspired by this card by Amanda and create a card of your own, make sure to share it with us in our Newton's Nook Designs Create & Share Group on Facebook! We'd love to see it!

Happy Father's Day Card by May Guest Designer Jeannean Marshall

For the last week of my guest designer series, I'm flying in with Winston Takes Flight stamp set, making a fun Father's day card with a hidden sentiment. Additional sentiments on the card come from Papa Bear stamp set.

Interest is added by stenciling white pigment ink clouds onto the blue cover panel. After die cutting the slider track and plane banner into the sky panel, it is easy to stamp the banner outline and sentiment through it onto the card base. The image is colored with Copic markers, and Glossy accents on Winston's goggles adds an amusing touch.

This plane is the perfect size to hide the banner sentiment, giving Dad a fun surprise note!

It has been my absolute pleasure to play with Newton's Nook Designs' sweet images, and I hope I am able to inspire you to play also!

Thanks for having me and Happy Crafting!!

Crafty Hugs!!

Flying By to Say...Card by Amanda Wilcox

 

Flying by with a Birthday Greeting!

Today we have our first post by our newest Design Team member, Amanda! She is starting things out with an adorable birthday card featuring Winston, our cute bear, driving and airplane from our Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. She colored the plane in shades of red and blue and added accents with a white gel pen. The image was cut out using the Winston Takes Flight Die Set.

For the background sky she used the Frames & Flags Die Set to cut out a scallop edged panel. Then she added layers of clouds using Clouds Stencil to the sky. She added on some more clouds from the Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. A little pink birdie in the sky from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set completes the scene! 

Here is a close up of the airplane... love the glossy accents added on the glasses!

And here is another close up so you can see the added sparkle! So lovely!

We hope this project by Amanda made you smile today! To say hello to her and see more of her awesome creations you can visit Amanda over on her blog, Twiddler's Nook!

Flying By to Say...Card by Nakaba Rager

Flying By...

Get ready for sky high cuteness with this card by Naki! She created this adorable airplane scene using Winston driving an airplane from our Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. She stamped the image, using sparkly silver embossing powder on the edges and then colored it using pearly watercolors. She cut the image out using the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set and added it onto a wobbler so the plane wobbles in the sky on her card! For the background she added two layers of clouds using the Clouds Stencil along the top and the Sky Borders Die Set along the bottom, giving a nice dimension to the sky! She also added in some sparkly stars using our Cascading Stars Stencil along with some sparkly embossing paste! It's so cool how much sparkle and shine this card has!

Thank you for the fun sparkle today, Naki! If you like this project you can see more of Naki's work over on her blog, Notes from Naki. Stop by and say hello!

Happy Father's Day Fly By Card by Juliana Michaels

Happy Father's Day!

Do you have all of your Father's Day cards done and in the mail? Or are you still scrambling for ideas? This card by Juliana is too cute, and just perfect for the dad in your life! Winston steals the show here in his bright red plane against the gorgeous background made with the Cloudy Sky Stencil. The blue clouds are just perfect and I really love the texture and interest of her black frame! She used the Framework Die set to create some impressions onto black cardstock and the effect is incredible! The sentiment from Winston Takes Flight was combined with one from Papa Bear, and it really finishes off this perfect Father's Day card!

Coffee Gift set by Ellen Haxelmans

Adorable Coffee Gift Set

Today we have an a fun idea on how to make a gift special by Ellen. She created an adorable coffee card to go with a gift of coffee for a friend. She used the cute image of the bear, Winston, holding a coffee from our Sending Hugs Stamp Set. This stamp set is super cool because when you cut it out with the coordinating Sending Hugs Die Set it also cuts around the arms so the critters can hold the accessories in the set! She also embellished her coffee shaped card using our Tumbling Hearts Stencil with white embossing powder to create that cute heart background. She finished it off with the the sentiments "sending smiles" on the wrap and "hello" on the lid from our Sending Hugs Stamp Set. So cute!

She tucked it inside her box with the coffee gift and she also decorated the outside of the box to make this package feel extra special using the image of Winston in his airplane from the Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set! Wouldn't this be so fun to receive in the mail?

Flying by Kitty Card by Naki Rager

Flying by! 

Wow! The first week of 2018 has totally flown by! Can you believe it's Friday already!? Speaking of flying by, today we have an adorable card by Naki that fits that theme! She used that cute kitty floating in the sky with an umbrella from our Newton Dreams of London Stamp Set. She stamped the image in grey and colored in  the jacket and umbrella in soft tones of grey too, with just a pop of yellow on the scarf. This gives such a lovely rainy day feeling to the card! Then she trimmed it out with the coordinating Newton Dreams of London Die Set before adding it to her card. Then she added on a sentiment with the banner and "flying by" sentiment from the Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. She also added some clouds stamped in grey from that set and some die cut out using the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set. The soft tones of this card with the yellow accents are perfect for sharing a hello on a dreary rainy day!

Interactive Birthday Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Two scenes in one amazing card!

Today we have another awesome card by Ellen that showcases not one but TWO scenes with Winston! For the front panel of the card she created a sky scene using Winston driving his airplane from our Winston Takes Flight Stamp Set. She made him so cute in his little blue and yellow airplane with the "hello" banner trailing behind. She used the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set to trim him out and also added a fun cloudy skyline using the clouds from our Sky Borders Die Set. She also snuck in that cute little red bird from the Newton's Birdbath Stamp Set. 

In case you weren't wowed by that scene, you open the card to find this:

The inside panel of this card has a flap with another fun scene! I think Winston has flown out to his cabin and is now relaxing! She used the image of Winston in his Adirondack chair along with the cattails and cabin image from our new Winston's Lake House Stamp Set and trimmed them out with the coordinating Winston's Lake House Die Set. Then she also added in some big trees from the Fox Hollow Stamp Set and a  cute little frog from the Newton's Rainy Day Stamp Set! Isn't it fun how you can combine images from all the different sets to create scenes? She also used our Land Borders Die Set to add a hill and some grass and the  Sea Borders Die Set to add water along the bottom! These fun border dies are so awesome to use for scene building!

Flying By Card by Jennifer Jackson

Flying by...

Today I have a cheerful card to share using our Winston Takes Flight stamp set! I had so much fun coloring Winston in his little airplane! I chose to give him a bright yellow airplane and colored him with copic markers.  I made Winston grey and then added red accents to the plane and a red scarf to give the image a nice pop of color! I left part of the airplane white but added just a little light teal for an accent and then gave him teal goggles! I love how this turned out! Once I was done coloring the image, I cut it out using the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set. 

Then to make the card, I chose a bright yellow cardstock base and layered white over it. Then I decided Winston needed some sky to fly through so I stamped a strip of light teal paper with blue clouds and added it to the card. I also die-cut out some white clouds using the coordinating Winston Takes Flight Die Set and added them around the sky as well. The sentiments "flying by to say...
and "hello" were also from the Winston Takes Flight stamp set! And then the image of Winston was added on with some 3D foam squares. 

Hope you enjoyed this project today!
