Newton’s Nook Designs - Happy Retro Birthday

Hello everyone!

I am sharing a cute retro rainbow birthday card.  If you love bold colors, a touch of retro flair, and adorable critters, this card checks all the boxes! Today’s card I am featuring the  Retro Mix Toner Front cards, Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set and die along with a couple of other fun products.

Here is how I created my card.

The background I used some foil from my stash to bring some shine to the background.  I used Newton’s Nook Designs Retro Mix Toner Front cards to achieve that bright, multicolor foil effect. 

To coordinate the sentiment, I also used the solid black toner sheet to foil and die cut the shadow layer of the “Happy Birthday” in a gorgeous purple. This ties everything together while still letting the background shine.

For dimension, I die cut the “Happy Birthday” sentiment multiple times from white card stock and stacked them. This gives that nice, chipboard-like thickness without adding bulk.

Next, I stamped and colored the adorable pups from the Dog Birthday Party Stamp Set, and die cut them from the coordinating die. I used pop dots to pop the dogs up slightly to sit right over the sentiment, creating a cohesive focal point.

To keep the background from overwhelming the design, I added a piece of vellum cut with the Basic Frames Die Set. This layer:

To finish off my card I added a few rhinestones from my stash. They catch the light beautifully and echo the sparkle of the foiled background without competing with it.

Retro Rubber Challenge Blog - Color Challenge

Hello everyone!

I am here with Retro Rubber Challenge blog and we have a new challenge, which is a color challenge. Be sure to stop over on the Retro Rubber Challenge blog to get more inspiration, the design team has some wonderful creations!

The rules to play along with Retro Rubber Challenge is very simple, make sure the stamp you use on your project is at least one year or older. For more details on the rules, you can find them over on Retro Rubber Challenge blog.

Here is my take on the challenge.

My card is an A2 card using the Newton’s Nook Designs Cherry Blossoms stamp set, which was released April 2024.  I stamped, die cut and colored the cherry blossoms with alcohol markers.  For the background, I die cut the arches from Taylored Expressions.  The white panel of the arch I embossed with TE Cherry Blossoms embossing folder.
