Ready, Set, Snow Card by Andrea Shell

Ready, Set, Snow!!

Do you love to play in the snow? The cute pup on this card by Andrea is ready to head out and play on a snowy day! She created this adorable card using the dog wearing a scarf and ice skates from our Winter Woofs Stamp Set. She colored the image and cut it out with the coordinating Winter Woofs Die Set. She created a lovely winter setting for him using our Land Borders Die Set for the snowy hill and our Petite Snow Stencil with glittery paste for the sparkly snowy sky. The whole scene was nestled into the stitched rectangle that was cut out using the shape from our Frames & Flags Die Set. She added the sentiment "ready, set, snow" embossed in white on a black speech bubble from our Speech Bubbles Die Set. The finishing touch is a stripe of red checked pattern in the background that was created using our Gingham Stencil and coordinates so perfectly with the red and black on the doggies scarf!

Here is a close up so you can see the lovely sparkle on that snowy sky:

First up we are sharing a spooky Halloween card by Nakaba: 

Nakaba created this amazing monochromatic scene that is perfect for a spooky Halloween greeting! She created that awesome sky full of fuzzy bats using our Flying Bats Stencil with Deco Foil Transfer Gel. Once the gel was dry, she added the flock using Deco Foil Flock Transfer Sheets in Black Velvet from Therm O Web with a laminator. This adds such a fun fuzzy texture to the bats! 

Under the sky, she stamped the trio of costumed critters from our Halloween Trio Stamp Set. She colored them using just shades of black pencil for a fun and spooky effect! She also added the "happy Halloween" Sentiment underneath them using glow in the dark embossing powder. 

Here is a photo of the how the sentiment looks in the dark:

To create the fun winter scene, she made a snowy sky she using the Pixie Spray from Therm O Web to keep the Petite Snow Stencil in place and spread on Deco Foil Transfer Gel with the Stencil Pal. Once the gel was dry, she added the flock using Flock Transfer Sheets in White Latte from Therm O Web with a laminator. She used our Land Borders Die Set to cut out a hill and added a bit of gilttery snow to the hill using Glitz Glitter Gel in White from Therm O Web  She also used our Forest Scene Builder Die Set to add trees to the background, adding a bit of Glitz Glitter Gel in White to them too. The whole scene was framed using the scallop edge from our Frames & Flags Die Set.  She also used the flag from the Frames & Flags Die Set to hold the sentiment.

She colored the image of the kitty in the witch boot from the set and cut it out using the coordinating Witchy Newton Die Set. She mounted the kitty on a tag that was cut out using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. She added the "Happy meow-oween" Sentiment along the bottom of the tag using our Newton's Perfect Pumpkin Stamp Set.

For the fun background she used our Argyle Stencil Set. She used the Pixie Spray from Therm O Web to keep her stencils in place while she used them.

Beautiful Tags by October Guest Designer Bobbi Lemanski

Hi there! It’s Bobbi again. Today is my last post as the Guest Designer for Newton’s Nook Designs (sad face). I’ve really had fun sharing my creations with you. Since today is my last day, I thought it was only appropriate to leave by “tagging” the next guest designer and you. Tag you’re it! It’s time to get creative and get those holiday gifts, cards and tags done before you run out of time. I’ve been working on a few myself and wanted to share them with you….

Stag Tags for the Holidays

There’s something about antlers that I find interesting and pretty. In fact, I have two on my mantel and I’m not even a hunter nor an outdoorsy, nature girl. Of course, my deer heads are more of the modern type - white and from Target! I think these tags celebrate the beauty of nature around us. 

For the two deer tags, I used Adventure Awaits (I love that artistic deer head), Winter Memories (for the trees)  and Splendid Stags and Pines and Holly dies. For the backgrounds, I created two wood-looking backgrounds using my ruler and Copic Markers to mimic rustic boards and shiplap. I also used the “Season’s Greetings” sentiment from the new set, Ornamental Wishes. By the way, one of these deer heads is on SALE right now, and (hint) awaiting and adventure with you, too! It’s a retiring set so snag this stag before it’s gone!

The gray tag background uses the Serene Stripes Stencil. When I turned the stencil 90 degrees and used embossing paste on it for high contrast, I saw these strong vertical lines reminding me of thin birch or pine tree trunks in the woods. I added a few pine branches from the Pines and Holly set (a must for your stash) to create the tree-like images along with a sentiment from Sentiments of the Season. A little pine cone covered in Liquid Applique adorns the sentiment band. 

These designs could easily be used for a greeting card or for Thanksgiving table place cards, too. For gifting, I plan to use them with kraft and/or a red/black buffalo plaid wrap for the holidays 

Traditional Toppers Keep the Winter Memories Alive

The Winter Memories stamp set and dies are the star of the show for these traditional tags. The set’s silhouettes are so pretty. Combining them with softer, subtle colors of pinks, blues and greens makes for a beautiful and stunning contrast. 

For the first card, I created a larger shaker tag using circle dies. Shaker cards are a snap if you use the Double Sided Adhesive Foam available at Newton’s Nook Designs. To cover the outer edges of the foam on the sides of the shaker, I add double sided tape in the same width and rolled in glitter to cover. It not only finishes the edge, but it sparkles, too!  The background uses the new Evergreen Stencil with white embossing paste for dimensional snow-covered trees. I used the ornament topper from the new Ornament Shaker Die set to transform the circle shaker into an ornament. The other two coordinating tags in the same colors use many of the same sets and dies on other tags.  

Let’s Get Lit with Some Merry and Bright! 

The next set of tags are merry, bright and perfect for any age!  Kids may especially enjoy their interactive features. The slider, shaker, and sliding window add to the fun! Did  you notice that I used the new Petite Snow Stencil with white embossing paste on three of the tag bases? LOVE it!  

I used these Newton’s Nook Designs products to complete the tags:  Winter Woofs, Frozen Fellowship, Fleece Navidad (and dies)  and Cups of Cocoa and dies along with others already mentioned. Here’s a side view of the window slider card. You can see the inside sentiment, the stamped snowflakes and the ornament topper I used for the pull tab!  

To finish the tags, I like to cut the tag back panel in a fun accent color like pink or green to cover any bleeding from my Copic coloring from the front panel. It also makes the tag more durable under the tree, too. 

A big THANKS to Jen and Samantha for this wonderful opportunity to guest design for Newton! I love Newton’s Nook Designs and I had so much fun sharing my creations with everyone.  Thanks to all who visited and shared the kind comments with me. Happy Holidays everyone!

Now tag, you’re it!

All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to add fun foils and more to your cards using Therm O Web products with Newton's Nook Designs stamps! There are prizes too! Read all the way to the end of this post to find out how you can win! 

Today we are featuring projects by Larissa and Ellen! 

 First we have two amazing foiled cards by Larissa:

For first card, Larissa created a festive Holiday card! She used our Holiday Foliage Stencil and the Deco Foil Transfer Gel from Therm O Web. Once the transfer gel was dry, she added on the Deco Foil by Therm O Web and heat set it with a laminator! What a gorgeous background! For her image she used the cute corgi pup on a sled from our Winter Woofs Stamp Set, coloring him with fun bright colors and adding in a candy cane and Santa hat using our Ornamental Newton Stamp Set and Die Set. What a fun little scene! 

For her second card, Larissa used the new Designer Toner Sheets (Polka Dots) and some teal Deco Foil by Therm O Web to create a fun clear panel polka dotted front for her shaker window!  She heat set the foil using a laminator and then created a shaker oval window. In front of the shaker she added some grass using our Land Borders Die Set to set the scene and added a few clouds above it using our Cloudy Sky Stencil. For her main image she stamped and colored that cute kitty sharing his umbrella from our Newton's Rainy Day Stamp Set. She colored the image in such amazing fun bright colors and trimmed it out with the coordinating Newton's Rainy Day Die Set to add onto her card! So beautiful! She also used our Frames & Flags Die Set to create the scallop edged black background panel.

Next we have two sweet Easter treats by Ellen: 

For her first project, Ellen created a card with a fun scene using several of our stamp sets and Deco Foil by Therm O Web. She cut out the word "meow" from our Newton Unwinds Die Set and then used the Deco Foil Adhesive Pen from Therm O Web over it. She added the Deco Foil from Therm O Web over it, heat setting with a laminator.

To create the scene, she inked a pink and purple background panel and layered it over the scallop edged panel that was cut using our Frames & Flags Die Set. Then she added in waves using the Sea Borders Die Set and grass using the Land Borders Die Set.  The cattails are from the Winston's Lake House Stamp set. and the little butterflies are from Bitty Bunnies stamp set. She also added in a tiny leaf from the Deer Friend Stamp Set. For the kitty holding the egg she used the kitty image from the Sending Hugs Stamp Set. She trimmed the image out with the coordinating Sending Hugs Die Set which also trims out the arms so the kitty can hold something. She put cute little egg inside his arms from the Newton's Easter Basket Stamp Set! So cute! She also added the "sending smiles" sentiment from the Sending Hugs Stamp Set below her little tube of jelly beans! 

For her Second project, Ellen used the new Designer Toner Sheets (Floral Sketch) and some pink Deco Foil by Therm O Web to create a fun clear panel tag.  She heat set the foil using a laminator and then cut out the tag using our Fancy Edges Tag Die Set. For her image she chose the kitty wearing bunny ears in a basket from our Newton's Easter Basket Stamp Set and colored it using copic markers. She cut it out using the coordinating die set and added it to her tag. She also added in a leaf and branch from the Deer Friend Stamp Set and a butterfly from the Bitty Bunnies stamp set! How adorable!
