Winged Wishes Thank You Card by Danielle Pandeline

This thank-you card is so"tweet"!

Danielle Pandeline created this fun birthday card using the little birdies and banner from our Winged Wishes stamp set!  I love how colorful this card is and she didn't even color in the images. Just stamped them with fun colors and used some pretty striped paper. I also love the vellum strip of clouds! Such an adorable card!

Have you had a chance to check out the  Curtain Call Inspiration Challenge blog this week? We're currently sponsoring their challenge! The Curtain Call team has created some super sweet baby cards using our Winged Wishes set.  Plus, it's a challenge, so you can create your own project and enter to win a prize from Newton's Nook Designs!

I decided to play along again and created this fun minty baby card inspired by the photo:

For the background I sponged ink over a chevron stencil in shades of green/mint - I tried to make it ombre but it's very subtle. I colored stamped the baby clothes from our Winged Wishes set on vellum and colored them with colored pencils and overlaid it on the chevrons. Then I added some pretty lace and a yellow flag with the "hello baby" 

I've been adding everyones Winged Wishes cards to our Winged Wishes pinterest board too so make sure to follow that to see all the fun inspiration!

Here's some more about our two fabulous guest designers in their own words - Make sure to check out their blogs and say hello to them!

Elena Joldersma
The Red-Haired Girl

My name is Elena. I live in Ohio with my husband, son and furry daughter (our cat). I moved to USA about 8 years ago from Siberia, Russia.

Besides being mom and wife I like to crochet, knit, cross stitch, sew and cook and make cards. Making stuffed toys for kids, trying new recipes and sending handmade cards to my friends and family makes my heart happy. In a spare time I enjoy blogging. 

If you ask me what if my style in card making, I would say "anything cute". Now you can imagine how happy I was when Jennifer invited me to be a part of her team. Her stamps are so cute! I am looking forward to this month, and I know that you and I will both enjoy a wonderful company with Newton's Nook Designs!

Thank you Jennifer for believing in me and for giving me an opportunity to be creative with your company. :)

Jamie Greene

I am a 30 something mom of three amazing kids, I have been married half of my life and I LOVE to craft!  I am a designer for my LSS and have recently went back to work full time. When I am not working or spending time with my family you will find me crafting, reading, watching movies or shopping.  I love shopping for craft supplies as much as I enjoy creating:)

Hello Spring Card by Tessa Wise

Hello Spring!

Is it spring by you yet? Even though it's "officially" spring, it's certainly starting slow in the Midwest! However, I was excited to see a hint of green popping up in my flower beds -- the tulips are coming!

Since the tulips are starting to peek up it's very fitting that I get to share this lovely tulip card by Design Team member, Tessa Wise! She created this adorable spring card using the eggshell/tulip on our new mini Easter Scramble set! Isn't it so fun how this little set has so many possibilities? She used some fun watercolor techniques to color those little tulips! And I love the watercolored grass along the bottom!  Isn't it pretty? Tessa also used the "hello" sentiment from our Winged Wishes set to create the "hello spring" sentiment! What fun!  Thanks for the fun inspiration, Tessa! To see more of Tessa's amazing work, make sure you pop over to Tessa's blog, Crafty Girl Designs and say hello!

Another Winston Birthday Card by Taheerah Atchia

Winston in Triplicate! 

He he he... Three Winstons all in a row by Taheerah Atchia! Taheerah made this fun birthday card by stamping the bear from Winston's Birthday three times in a row and dressing him up with funny hats and such!  I love the simplicity of this - just simple black with an embossed thought bubble. What a fun birthday card!

Thanks, Taheerah, for making us smile today! To see more of her work, head over to Taheerah's Blog, Fill Your Paper with the Breathings of Your Heart!
