Newton's Kitchen Card by Samantha Mann

All you KNEAD is Love! 

Know someone who loves to bake? This adorable kitchen themed card by Samantha would be perfect to send them for Valentine's Day!

This sweet card features two kitties helping create some dough from our Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set. She colored both the kitties in shades of gray and added fun details, like pink cheeks! She also added the chef's hat to the kitty on top! So cute! She cut the images out using the coordinating Newton's Kitchen Die Set. 

For her background she used our Gingham Stencil with shades of blue distress inks to create a fun kitchen themed look. Doesn't it remind you of a tablecloth or napkin? Then she layered the kitties on top and added the sentient "All you KNEAD is love" embossed in white on a black speech bubble from our Speech Bubbles Die Set. 

This card would be great for Valentine's Day or to send smiles any time of year!

Baking Kitty Card by Jennifer Jackson

Life is what you BAKE it!

Hello! Jen here today with cat that is sure to satisfy your sweet tooth! 

Today Newton is heading to the kitchen to bake up some yummies on our Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set. Isn't that kitty cute with the big mixing bowl? I colored the image with colored pencils and then cut it out using the coordinating Newton's Kitchen Die Set. 

For the card base, I choose a teal colored cardstock and then layered a kraft colored paper over the top, leaving the teal around the edge. I then chose 3 patterns from our Love & Chocolate Paper Pad, including cupcakes since I was imagining that's what Newton was baking! I layered strips of the paper along the center of the card, adding a line of white cotton twine too. I then cut a fun decorative square from our white cardstock using our Frames Squared Die Set. I added the sentiment, "Life is what you BAKE it!" from our Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set along the top and layered the kitty image underneath. 

This card was so fun to create and will be purr-fect for sending to a friend who loves to bake!

Hope you enjoyed this project today! 

Apple Baking Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Apple-solutely Wonderful!

Today Ellen has created an adorable apple themed card that is sure to make you smile!

This fun card features our new Autumn Apples Stamp Set, Fall Harvest Stamp Set along with the baking kitty from our Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set and the baking accessories from our Made from Scratch Stamp Set! What a fun combo of images! 

For the card base, she uses our A7 Frames & Banners Die Set to create the frames on the card. Scroll down for a few details from Ellen! 

Here are some tips from Ellen on how she created this adorable card:

• (Left photo above): I started by cutting the card base, folding it and stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder (using a heat tool and Versamark ink)
  
  
• (center photo above): Next I die cut a few elements from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. The inside rectangles I die cut twice. Then I colored the first batch in a yellow orange. From the second batch of rectangles I cut them into hills using the Land Borders Die Set.
  
  
•  (right photo above): Next I did color all the illustrations from the Autumn Apples Stamp Set, Fall Harvest Stamp Set, Newton's Kitchen Stamp Set and Made from Scratch Stamp Set with my Copic markers.
  
  COPIC COLOR SWATCH:
  Red: R89, r39, R29, R27, R24
  Light Green: YG67, YG63, G29,
  Green: G09, G07, G05, G03, G02

Birthday BBQ Card by Ellen Haxelmans

Birthday BBQ!

Today Ellen is sharing how to celebrate a birthday with fun BBQ! This unique birthday greeting is sure to make the recipient smile! 

For this food filled birthday card, Ellen looked through all of her stamps with food themes and chose a fun combination of images. She stamped and colored the grill, burger, hot dog and grilling tool from the Dad’s BBQ Stamp Set, cutting them out with the coordinating Dad’s BBQ Die Set. Then She added in the kitty with the full belly and the turkey leg from our Newton’s Thanksgiving Stamp Set, cutting those images out with their coordinating Newton’s Thanksgiving Die Set as well. She added a chefs hat to the kitty, stamping it from the Newton’s Kitchen Stamp Set and cutting it out with the Newton’s Kitchen Die Set. What a fun pairing of food themed goodies! 

For her card base she created a square card and layered a green rounded corner square and red scalloped square onto the card using our Frames Squared Die Set. Inside the smaller square she created her scene, adding hills  and grass using our Land Borders Die Set. She also added fun rays to the sky using the Sunscape Stencil with blue ink.  

To make this into a birthday card, she added "Happy Birthday" from the Dad’s BBQ Stamp Set, embossing it in white onto a red banner that was cut out using the little banner from the A7 Frames & Banners Die Set. You can make almost any card into a birthday card just by adding a birthday sentiment!
