I started by stamping and embossing the images from the Holiday Haul, Christmas Time Cats, Christmas Time Dogs and Newton's Christmas Tree stamp sets!! I stamped with Versa Fine Black Onyx Ink and embossed with WoW Clear Gloss Embossing Powder onto white cardstock!! Then I colored the images with Copic markers!!

Green: YG00, YG13 & YG25

Red: R00, R14 & R37
Turquoise: BG00, BG45 & BG49

Pink: R00

Then I die cut the images out using the coordinating dies for Holiday Haul, Christmas Time Cats, Christmas Time Dogs and Newton's Christmas Tree die sets!! I then added some white gel pen highlights and some back glaze pen to the noses and then added some Glitter Nuvo Drops and some Ranger Glossy Accents for some sparkle and shine!! I LOVE how all of these things bring the images to LIFE!!

Next, I created the background I die cut some white cardstock using the Basic Frames Die Set!! Then I inked the background with some Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink after masking off the bottom of the card panel with some masking tape. I then masked the sky and inked the ground with some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink. I wanted to add some snow falling to the background, so I stamped and embossed the sentiment from the Christmas Greeting Stamp Set and then I added some Salvaged Patina Distress Spritz and some Picket Fence Distress Paint Splatters for the falling snow. I also applied some liquid adhesive to the ground and added some Distress Rock Candy Glitter for the snow!! SQUEAL!! I LOVE how it looks just like real glittering snow!!

Next, I adhered the images to the background panel using some foam tape for some dimension!! I added the extra present, candy cane and ornament images to help to set the scene even more and I LOVE these little images for that reason! They can be used in so many different ways!! 




Lastly, I die cut the scalloped frame using the Frames & Flags Die Set and die cut it from some Bright Basics Paper!! I adhered the card panel and then added some foam tape for some dimension before adhering it to a white cardstock A2 card-base for some dimension!!

I hope this card gets you EXCITED for some Christmas in July creations and combining some of your FAVORITE images to create some festive scenes!!

THANKS SO MUCH for stopping by today!
I hope you have a FABULOUS Weekend!

Hula Hoop Newton Card and Video by Jennifer Jackson

Have a HOOPY Birthday!

Hello! Jen here today and I'm sharing a fun card I created by pairing our  adorable new Hula Hoop Newton with a fun circle background. 

For this cards I used the following products:

Hula Hoop Newton Stamp Set

Hula Hoop Newton Die Set

Birthday Party Paper Pack

Circle Frames Die Set

Banner Duo Die Set

This card was so fun to make. First I colored the image of Newton swirling in the hula hoop using alcohol markers in shades of orange. I colored the hula hoop lime green to match with the papers I planned on using from our Birthday Party Paper Pack. 

Next I created that fun background of circles. I knew I wanted to create hoop shapes but I didn't have a die that created that exact shape. So I used TWO dies from my Circle Frames Die Set, nesting them inside each other when I cut them out. To see how I did this you can watch the video below.  

I had so much fun with this technique! Once I had the layout figured out I created a second card, almost identical. On this card I choose a different piece of patterned paper, a different color blue for the die cut hoops and then I colored the kitty differently. It's so easy to mix things up just a little and create a bunch of cards once you have a plan! 

Here's a picture of the two cards together:

I hope you enjoyed these cards and that I've inspired you to try to find ways to use your dies to create new shapes! 

Have a wonderful crafty day!

Happy Summer-ween Card by Amanda Wilcox

A Perfect Summer-ween Card

Hi friends! This is Amanda from Twiddler's Nook. I've got a fun summerween card to share with all of you spooky lovers out there! Any excuse to pull out my Halloween goodies is a good day and now that we're past 4th of July, it's all fair game for me.

This card features:
Jack-O'-Lantern Stencil Set
Newton's Boo-tiful Night Stamp Set
Newton's Boo-tiful Night Die Set
A7 Frames & Banners Die Set
Newton's Happy Meowr Stamp Set
Oval Frames Die Set

Today I started by creating my stenciled background. I inked up pink and orange pumpkins using the Jack-o'-lantern stencil set on peach cardstock. After stenciling, I splattered the panel with pearl watercolor for some texture and sparkles.

 

Next, I stamped and colored my image from Newton's Boo-tiful Night with copic markers. I used the coordinating die to cut it out. Then stamped and heat embossed a sentiment from the same stamp set on a banner from the A7 Frames & Banners die set. To alter the sentiment I stamped "summer" from Newton's Happy Meowr in orange ink and trimmed it out with scissors, gluing the two together.

Then, I die cut the smallest scalloped oval in the Oval Frames die set from vellum cardstock and started assembling everything together. I glued the stenciled panel to a card base, then popped the Newton image and sentiment strip up on the vellum oval with foam squares. Finally, I hid another layer of foam squares on the back of the oval behind the image/sentiment banner and popped that up on the card front. 

For finishing touches, I added glossy accents to the jack-o-lantern faces, the crow beak and Newton's nose.

I hope you enjoyed today's summerween fun! I'd love to know if you celebrate at all. My daughter and I have at least one movie night during the summer watching our favorite Halloween movies with themed treats galore.

Cheers to Summer Card by Donna Idlet

 

Happy Summer Card!

Today we are sharing a perfect summer card by Donna!

This card features:
Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set
Newton's Happy Meowr Die Set
Card Layout 4 Die Set
Seaside Paper Pack
Basic Frames Die Set

Hello Crafty Friends!
It’s Donna here I’m sharing a fun summer-themed card featuring Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set! I wanted this card to have a cool coastal feel, so I paired the adorable image with papers from the Seaside Paper Pack and created a bold geometric background using Card Layout 4 Die Set.

The different patterned papers come together beautifully, adding lots of interest while keeping the soft blue color palette perfect for summer. I love how the turtle, fish, and dotted patterns complement sweet Newton as he relaxes with a refreshing drink in his fishbowl—definitely living his best summer life!

For the sentiment, I chose “Cheers to Summer!” from the Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set. I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder and die-cut it from the Basic Frames Die Set.

 

To finish the card, I added a few sparkling sequins around Newton for a touch of shimmer and tucked in a few seashells from the Newton’s Happy Meowr Stamp Set to complete the beachy vibe.

Thank you for stopping by, please come back again for more inspiration!

We Go Together Like Movies and Popcorn Card by Diane Morales

Blockbuster Summer!
Today we are sharing a fun and patriotic card by Diane!

This card features:
Newton's Movie Night Stamp Set
Newton's Movie Night Die Set
Fireworks Paper Pack
Frames & Tags Die Set

Hello Newton’s Nook Fans!
Sharing with you today another fun summer card.

With summer here that means it is also time for summer movies. A movie-themed card is a perfect way to present movie tickets as a gift. To start this card I created a card base out of red card stock. To create my card base and card front I chose the large zig-zag frame from Frames and Tags Die Set. For the card front I selected paper from Fireworks Paper Pad. I also cut out the frame from Frames and Tags Die Set with white cardstock. Next, I stamped and colored my image from Newton's Movie Night Stamp Set. I used the coordinating die from Newton's Movie Night to cut out my image.

Then, I assembled all the pieces to complete my card.
I always love the extras that come with a stamp set.

I made sure to stamp out plenty of extra popcorn and stars to place on my card. To put this card together first I stamped my sentiment in the square of the upper right corner.

Next, I placed my stamped image. The popcorn pieces came next. For some of the popcorn pieces I used foam dots to add dimension.

For a finishing touch I used the stars that are included in the stamp set.

This was such a fun card to create. I am going to love giving this one as a gift with movie tickets.
Thanks for taking the time to check out my movie themed card!
