Newton's Nook Designs: Inky Paws Challenge #1

Hey there! There's a new card challenge over at Newton's Nook Designs! Have you checked it out today? If not, head on over to see what their design team has cooked up for everyone! As for me, I wanted to join in of course! :)

Here's a sketch for the first challenge. When I saw it I knew I wanted to see Newton on it! I was also inspired by this image from Pinterest and wanted to combine the two. I could imagine a kitty playing around with the plant.

So for my card, I stamped the sleeping kitties from Newton's Antics and colored them in with Copic markers. Then I adhered them onto a circle die cut. I added the dots because it looked too white to me. lol. And I also think it adds a little bit more interest and shade to the overall image.

I adhered the circle over a gray piece of cardstock. I decorated it with some branches and flowers. The branches are from Memory Box. The little flowers are from Winged Wishes. YES, I did fussy each and every flower you see here. I have no idea how I did that! I must have been in a daze. lol!

I hope I was able to combine the sketch and my inspiration picture well. It's almost the weekend! So if you have some inky time on your hands, please join us over at Newton's Nook Designs! :) Thanks for stopping by today! I'll see you again soon! :)

Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party - Day 4

Hello! AGAIN! lol! It's my 3rd post for today, so make sure to check out the first 2 just below! :) Welcome back!!! You made it to the last day of Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party. Today, we're featuring Campfire Tails.

For my first card I made a little campfire scene, complete with a tent! I stamped in the images from the set and colored them in with Copic markers. For the tent, I just cut out a triangle and made flaps for the entrance. I also colored it in with Copic markers. As you can see it's a very rough coloring which I did on purpose.

The background was made by using a blending tool with some dye ink. Then I stamped some stars with a white pigment ink. It's very bright and clear in person, not sure why it didn't come out well in the pictures. :(

For my second card, I made another campfire scene. I made it using my favorite image from the set. The cute little raccoon! Doesn't he look like a little bandit eating chips?! So adorable! :) I stamped in the images, colored them with Copic markers and fussy cut them.

I added the die cut tree to complete my scene. And I stamped my sentiment on a strip of vellum paper.

Whew! It's a full day of posts! I hope you had fun! Did you enjoy the reveals? Everything will be available this Friday, July 19th. For more inspiration please head on over to the other participants' blogs. Don't forget to leave a message as you go for a chance to win this set! Thanks for stopping by today!

Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party - Day 3

Welcome to Day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party! It's been a fun 2 days filled with inspiration. I hope you're ready for more! Today, we're featuring Winged Wishes. This is my favorite set and I'm so excited to share it with you all! :)

For my first card, I die cut some clouds to hang my banner on. I stamped my banner straight onto the kraft cardstock as well as on some patterned paper. Then I fussy cut each one and adhered onto the base cardstock.

I also added a strip of cream cardstock that I colored with my Inktense pencils to make a sky background. I then stamped the baby clothes hanging as well as the birds carrying them. I did it again on a separate piece of cardstock, colored it in with Inktense pencils, fussy cut them and adhered them. I'm happy to say that I enjoy using the pencils! Of course there's no replacing Copic markers, but this is just a cheaper alternative where you can get a few more colors. You just color in your image lightly, then use a water brush to spread out the color.

Lastly, I sewed the cardstock piece onto my base. I also stamped the sentiment and tied some baker's twine around it.

For my second card, I guess you can tell what my favorite image is in the set. I used the baby clothes line again. This time, I made it look like they were hanging in the clouds. :)

Again, I added a few clouds. Some of the baby clothes were colored in with Inktense pencils, while the others were paper pieced.

There you go! Would you like to win this adorable set? All you have to do is to leave comments on each of the participants' blogs! Easy right?! For more details on the prizes, head on over to Newton's Nook Designs! I'll be back again tomorrow for one more round of reveals! Thanks for stopping by today! See you again! :)

Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party - Day 2

Hi there! Welcome back to the Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party! It's Day 2 of the festivities and I hope you are all having fun! We have another fun set to introduce today, this one Just Say Cheese. It's an adorable set that I can see used in cheese parties! So cute!!!

For my first card, I wanted to make a little cheese card! So I die cut different sized circles randomly on some cream cardstock. Doesn't it look like cheese already?! :) I stamped in the little mouse on the cheese, colored it in and fussy cut it. I also stamped in a sentiment right under.

For my second card, I cut out some rays and adhered it onto some kraft cardstock. Then I stamped in the sentiment and little speech bubble on the side and attached the grate that I colored and fussy cut beside it.

That's it for me! NND is giving out prizes to some lucky winners! All you have to do is leave a comment on all the participants' blogs! You can check out the details on Newton's Nook Designs blog!

Please come back tomorrow for more! Make sure to head on over to the other launch party participants!

Newton's Nook Designs Launch - Day 1

Hi there! I've had these little cuties under wraps for a weeks now. I'm so happy to be a part of the launch of a wonderful new stamp company...Newton's Nook Designs! You are in for a few days of adorable!!!

I was excited and nervous when Jennifer asked me to be a part of Newton's Nook Designs. I haven't dabbled enough in cute and graphic stamps, so you can imagine how nervous I was. But after seeing the entire first release, and working with the stamp sets first hand, I just absolutely loved the adorable images!!! So I agreed to try it on for size and guest design for now! I really hope you'll like what I have for you these next few days!!!

Today we're introducing Newton's Antics. I am a cat lover and so I absolutely love this set! For my first card, I tried my hand at paper piecing. I don't do it often, but I find that these images look wonderful paper pieced. I kept things clean and simple! I adhered my paper pieced image over an oval piece of patterned paper. And since it was clean and simple, I used foam tape just to add some dimension to my card. I stamped my sentiment on a little banner that I created and tucked it under Newton. :)

For my second card, I have a little something more up my alley. I did some background stamping. You'll be seeing more of the cute little hear strings in another release day, but for now I just used it as a cute little background. I added the cute little paws here and there too.

Then I added a little circle where I stamped my sentiment, then adhered another paper pieced Newton over it. I also inked the edges of my cardstock with some pink distress ink. I was trying to make a masculine cat-lover card for my first card and a feminine cat-lover card for my second card! ;)
