Newton's Nook Designs - Happy Surf Day!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring Newton's Perfect Wave Stamp Set and Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set.  I think this card is adorable with the beach scene of the kitty going surfing.  

Here is how I created my card:

My card is an A2 card measuring 4 1/4 x 5 1/2. I die cut the top panel with a stitched rectangle die and ink blended the background using the Retro Sun & Palms Stencil Set. I then die cut the bottom part of the card with the Land Borders die set. I used the rectangle die to die cut it so the edges would look the same. I used a alcohol marker to make dots on the panel to look like sand. I stamped and colored the image from the Newton's Perfect Wave with copic markers and die cut it with the Newton's Perfect Wave Die Set.

I hope you enjoyed my card, I really had fun creating it.  Please come back again soon!

Newton's Nook Designs - Happy Bark Day!

Hello everyone!

I am here with Newton's Nook Designs featuring the Heartfelt Woofs Stamp Set, Dog Silhouettes Die and A Dog's Life Paper Pad. I had so much fun creating this card. I love mixing pattern paper and this card was really fun to create.

I started by trimming down three sheets of patterned paper from A Dog’s Life Paper Pad, I positioned the paper where I wanted it and adhered it to a piece of black cardstock measuring 4 x 5 1/4. Next I die cut the Dog Silhouettes Dies that I wanted to use, I die cut the scalloped circle from the Circle Frame Die Set from white card stock and adhered the dogs using foam tape. I then heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder from the Heartfelt Woofs stamp set and die cut it using the Banner Trio Die Set.
