Hello Honey Bear Card by June Guest Designer Simone Naoum

Today we have our first post from our June Guest Designer, Simone Naoum! We are thrilled to have Simone designing with us this month! Her amazing clean and simple cards are sure to inspire you! We can't wait to share what she creates with our stamps! Keep reading to find out more about Simone today and to check out her first project below!

Hello, everyone! I'm so excited to announce that I am a guest designer for Newton's Nook Designs
My name is Simone Naoum, and I live in Perth, Western Australia with my hubby, our identical twin girls and our fluffy little kitty cat. I originally grew up in a small country town a few hours south of Perth, and will always be a country girl at heart.

My girls are now in kindergarten so in between housework and before school pick-up I like to sneak into my craft room and get stamping.

I have always had a love for cute stationary and paper products from a young age, (which soon turned into a patterned paper obsession) which lead me into card making and stamping! 10 years on and I still love pretty papers but I am now obsessed with rubber stamping and creating cards. My style is definitely clean and simple, as I love lots of clean white space, along with paper piecing and adding in a few fun embellishments.

Hello Everyone

I'm so excited to finally be able to share with you all today, that I am the guest designer for the month of June at Newton's Nook Designs!

This was a bit of hard secret to keep quiet for a while, as I just love working with their sweet stamp sets! For today's card I used the adorable Winston's Honeybees stamp set to create a sweet paper pieced honey bear card.

I started this card by stamping the bear and bee images onto some plain white cardstock and again onto various pattered papers. I then used my Silhouette Cameo machine and the pixscan mat to cut out the images that were stamped onto plain white cardstock. Next I fussy cut all the elements from the patterned papers and paper pieced them all together onto the white cardstock images.

Before sticking the images down onto my card base, I arranged them where I wanted them to go and stamped on my sentiment and the dotted heart trail for the bee. Finally I stuck down Winston and the bees with some adhesive foam, before embellishing the card with some yellow sequins and a black enamel dot.

I absolute love this cute little stamp set! Aren't Winston and those bees just cute?! I hope you enjoyed my first card for Newton's Nook Designs?  I'll be back again next Monday with another one for you all!

Thank you for stopping by.
- Simone

Newton's Nook Designs & Studio Katia Co-Hop!

Welcome to the Summer Fun Collaboration Blog hop with Newton's Nook Designs and Studio Katia! Both teams are celebrating the start of summer with fun and colorful cards using stamps from Newton's Nook Designs and dies and embellishments from Studio Katia. There's prizes too! Both companies have a prize to give away too so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!

Here's what I created:

I started out using the Stitched Loops Die from Studio Katia. I love the three little circles in a row an it reminded me of port holes on a ship so I decided to go with a sea theme and grabbed our Shark Bites Stamp Set to create my card.

I created a shaker card, using the Stitched Loops Die from Studio Katia to cut out a window in the center of a piece of bright blue cardstock. I also cut it out in black to create the inner frame. Before assembling my shaker, I stamped little tiny fish all over it from the Shark Bites Stamp Set. I also stamped the little shark silhouette from that set to put behind the window. I filled the shaker with sequins using the Summer Fusion sequin mix from Studio Katia. I love the bright colors in this mix! Then I added a shark in front of the shaker using the shark image from the Shark Bites Stamp Set and coloring him with copics. I also added the "Feel like grabbing a bite?" sentiment into a little circle (this circle was the innermost cut that comes out when you use the Stitched Loops Die from Studio Katia). I finished the card off with a little strip of heart patterned washi tape and a bright yellow cardstock base! 

I hope you enjoyed this project! The next stop on the hop is Olga.

Scootin' By Card by Larissa Heskett

Sweet Scooter Slider!

Today we have a gorgeous summer scene card created by Larissa! She created a slider card using the sweet image of the kitty on the scooter from the Newton Scoots By stamp set and trimmed him out using the coordinating Newton Scoots By Die Set so she could have him scoot across the card on a little slider track! She added layers of grass using the Land Borders Die Set with little bunches of flowers from the Versatile Vases stamp set peeking through to create a fun flowery scene! To create that lovely sky created a mask, cutting out her own stencil using clouds from our Sky Borders Die Set so she could ink up layers of clouds! Then for a finishing touch she used the little butterflies and bird from the Newton's Birdbath stamp set! What an amazing combination of images! Oh, and aren't those little googly eyes on the kitty so fun!?
