Newton's Nook Designs February Release- Tweet Talk

Hello and welcome to day two of Newton's Nook Designs February release!  Today the team is showcasing the adorable Tweek Talk set:

Tweet Talk is a great little set- It has birdhouses and birds and cute sentiments.  You are able to hang the birdhouses, set them on top of poles, or leave them plain.  I love all the options!

I started by stamping the three birdhouses from the Tweet Talk set in a row on a naturals white panel.  Next, I stamped the poles.  I colored them all using my Prismacolor pencils- the colors were taken from this fun patterned paper by My Mind's Eye.  When I was done, I matted it in red cardstock and added it to my card front.  I stamped the sentiment onto smokey gray cardstock and added some enamel dots to finish it off.

I can't wait to use this again!  I have a few ideas in my head and I'm wishing I had added the birds in somewhere here!  lol!

Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party: Winged Wishes

Welcome to day 3 of Newton's Nook Designs Launch Party!!

Today's release is Winged Wishes and what a great set it is!  It features two cute birds that hold the sentiments and other images between them.  It's a really fun concept and I loved creating with this set!

I started by stamping my sentiments and bird onto white cardstock and punching out a large circle around it.  I stamped the birds again onto light blue patterned paper and fussy cut them out.  I pieced one over the bird on the circle.  Next, I created a blue cardbase and decorated the bottom with the fun patterns from the Pebbles Inc. Family Ties line.  I added the twine and the circle using foam adhesive dots.  I stamped the bird one more time onto the card front and added the second patterned bird over it.

There are so many things you could do with this set!  Newton's Nook Designs will be giving it away this week- here are the details:

Little Birdie Projects for SRM Stickers

Good Morning!

Today I'm excited to share that I'm guest designing for SRM Stickers!  I used some of my favorite products from their current line to create a trio of fun, bird themed projects!  Here is a little peek:

I created three projects for them using their amazing stickers, glassine envelopes, and tubes.  My favorites are the Stickers By the Dozen Sheets because so many come on one sheet!   The 'Thank You' seen above is a great example- it is the perfect size and I love the fonts!  I am also in love with their glassine envelopes and clear pillow boxes.  They add a special touch when giving out goodies to my friends and family!

Please pop on over to the SRM Stickers blog to check out my projects!  Susan is also giving away some of the goodies she sent me to use so be sure to leave a comment there for your chance to win!!

It has been so much fun creating for SRM Stickers and I am so thankful for the opportunity!  Thanks again Susan! :)

Springtime Card

We are starting spring break today!  And, we had snow overnight... what is up with that!  I had planned on taking the girls out to the zoo and to see the cherry blossoms this week but it is cold and pretty dreary out.  More like a winter break lol!  We will have to revise our plans I think...

I am still in a springtime state of mind, even if it's cold out, so today I have a cute spring inspired card to share with you:

I've used the cute For the Birds set by Stampin' Up! for this card.  I think those little birds are so cute!  I stamped them using Jet Black Staz On ink and then watercolored them using my ink pads and a water pen.  The patterned papers are from the new Tea For Two DSP pack aslo by Stampin' Up!  The baker's twine is by The Twinery- this deep gray is their Stone color.

I created a little trio of cards using this set and will share the other two later this week!  These little birds really grew on me! :)

Well, I hope you are off to a great start this week!  We will be enjoying our week off, even if it's a little colder then normal around here this time of year! :)

Thanks for stopping by!
