Newton's Nook Designs July Release- Beach Party!

Hi!  Welcome to day two of Newton's Nook Designs July release!  They are debuting another adorable stamp set- Beach Party!!  I love this set soooo much!!  Here is what I made:

I seriously can't stop smiling when I see this cute hula bunny!  She was so fun to color.  You should see the rest of the set- there's a Winston image in it too!!
I colored the hula bunny, surf board, and flowers with Copic markers and cut out around them.  I created a white card base and then cut a piece of watercolor paper to fit in the center.  I stamped the waves border with Versamark and heat embossed it with white powder over the watercolor paper.  Then I watercolored over it using Pool Party and Soft Sky residual ink.
Once the watercoloring was dry, I added the panel to my card front and then added the rest of the images.  I stamped the sentiment on a vellum label and added that as well.

Seriously cute!!  I just love this set!

Waffle Flower Challenge- Hello Friend Card

Hi!  Hope you're having a good day!  I have a new card to share inspired by the current Waffle Flower Challenge.  This time I chose to play along with the technique challenge:

Here is the card I made:

I made a pattern in banner form using the Flower Circle set.  I started with a light blue card base and stamped the different sized circles with various shades of turquoise and blue.  I added white in there, too- heat embossing the smaller circle image.
Once my circles were all stamped, I used my machine to sew a banner string in there to connect all the circles.  I added the epoxy dots next to add a little dimension.
The sentiment has also been heat embossed using white embossing powder.

This was such a fun card to make!  I love how the stitching really ties it all together.  I also love how the white embossing turned out.  

I hope you have a chance to play along with the Waffle Flower Challenge this month!  Cute Waffle Flower stamps and dies are up for grabs if you do!!  Pop over to the Waffle Flower blog to check it out and to see what the rest of the design team created!

Newton's Nook Designs July Reveal- Newton's Day Dream

Hello!  I am so excited for Newton's Nook Designs newest release- these stamps are SOOO cute!!  I can't get enough of them!  Today we are showing off the new mini set featuring Newton- Newton's Daydream.  He's sleeping the day away like any good cat :)  Here is what I made:

I thought this one would be fun to watercolor!  I stamped Newton out onto the watercolor paper and colored him in using residual ink from my ink pads as well as a watercolor palette.  The colors I chose came from the fun background papers I used by Bella Blvd.  I gave him stripes like my kitty Momo has :)

This stamp set just makes me smile!  I'm sure you will too when you see it!

A Slice of Happiness Card

Hi!  I have a fun card to share with you today featuring the cute Sweet Summer set by Newton's Nook Design:

I stamped and colored the watermelon image with Copic markers.  Then I cut out around it.  I created a bright robin's egg blue card base and added a panel of white cardstock to the center of the top.  I added the striped patterned paper next- it's from the Take Note 6x6 pad by Doodlebug Designs.  I stamped my sentiment on the white panel and added a stitched sticker by SRM along the edge of the patterned paper.  I also added a bit of black twine and finished it in a bow.  I added my watermelon last, using pop dots for dimension.

It's so fun and bright!  Perfect for the summer :)  I hope you all enjoy the 4th!  :)

Newton's Nook Designs

Hello!  I have fun news to share today- Newton's Nook Designs is announcing their new design team and I'm staying on for another term!  I'm so excited to create with this season's releases and get to know all these great girls:

I am such a fan of Newton's Nook Designs fun stamps- I couldn't be happier! :)  I made a card to share with one of my NND stamp sets, Wild Child:

I'm in love with this set's baby animals with their mamas!  It just makes me smile!  I stamped them onto two different shades of brown cardstock and added some shading with my Copic markers.  I fussy cut the baby out of the lighter color and pieced him in over the darker mama bear.  Then I cut out around both of them leaving just a bit of an edge.

I paired these cute little bears with papers from My Mind's Eye Now and Then Izzy 6x6 pad and my favorite tag die by Reverse Confetti.

Thanks for popping by here today!  Don't forget to visit the Newton's Nook Designs blog to learn a little more about the fabulous team this term!  I can't wait to see what they have in store for us!
