Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Newton’s Costume Party

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Newton’s Costume Party published on 28 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Newton’s Costume Party

Welcome to the last day of the September release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  I know you have been waiting for it so here it is…NEWTON!  In costumes!  Oh my goodness, this set could not be even a little cuter!

Trick or Treat by Jen Timko | Newton's Costume Party Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Copic ColoringSeriously…if you love Halloween, you will just fall in love with this set.  An adorable Newton with costumes of all kinds.  The hardest part for today’s post was choosing which one to start with!  I thought that the little bee was hilarious (and I always think little kids dressed like bees are too sweet for words).  Jen and Jeff have made this set perfect for quick cards too.  All you have to do is stamp and cut out the images.  Easy layering for fast and fun cards!  I did just that.  I stamped the bee suit and the wings, plus the kitty and cut them out with the matching dies.  I did some quick Copic coloring and then dug through my stash of patterned papers to find some that matched.  I thought this yellow striped paper was perfect behind my little kitty bee.  Oh, and take a closer look a the coloring.

Trick or Treat Close Up by Jen Timko | Newton's Costume Party Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Copic Coloring, Wink of StellaI added a little bit of Wink of Stella to the wings.  Because every bee needs shimmery wings, don’t you think?  Now I get to play with the rest of the costumes.  You are sure to want to do the same!  And now for the part you always love!!

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release AND Freshly Made Sketches

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release AND Freshly Made Sketches published on 27 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs September Release AND Freshly Made Sketches

Welcome to day 3 of the September release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  Hold on because I have A LOT to share with you today.  First of all, Newton’s Nook Designs has two (yes TWO) sets to share today.  And then, well, it is Wednesday so it is also Freshly Made Sketches day.  I did a little multi-tasking so that I could keep everything to one post.  Are you ready??

FMS304 by Jen Timko | Beautiful Bones Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Black Glitter Embossing Powder by WOW!, Sugar SkullFirst up is this marvelous new set called Beautiful Bones.  These images are simply awesome and if you love sugar skulls, this set is going to blow you away.  I also used the fun sketch from Freshly Made Sketches designed by the sweet and talented Amy O’Neill.  This sketch was a natural to combine with the NND set!!  I lined up the images using my Misti (makes is super simple to make sure they are straight).  Once I knew the placement, I put some Bristol paper under the images (uninked) and figured out where I wanted the watercoloring to be.  I used my Zig Clean Color Markers and added the bright colors…super fast and so striking with the set.  Next I stamped in Versafine Onyx Black.  I added some Wow brand Black Glitter Embossing Power and heat embossed.  You should see how cool the glitter looks in person!  I pulled a sentiment from Beautiful Plumage and stamped/embossed it too.  I added some extra splatters and then some rhinestones (colored with a Sharpie) for a little more sparkle.  The perfect card to send out to some family members who live in Mexico and have fun with Day of the Dead celebrations.No Bones About It by Jen Timko | Spooky Skeletons Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Chibitronics, Chibi Card, Xray card, Studio Katia Dotted Shaker TagFor the next set called Spooky Skeletons, I created a card to look like an X-ray.  Now, I would love to say that the X-ray was all my idea but sadly, no.  My oldest son saw the stamp set when I first got it and told me “that would make a cool X-ray…can you do that?”  Why yes I can!!  I used Chibitronics and two white lights from the kit to backlight this image.  I stamped the kitty skeleton on vellum and put that layer underneath another vellum piece surrounded by the cute tag.  I helps conceal the Chibi tape and still let’s you see the lights easily.  Want to see it lit up??  Of course you do!  My trusty assistant (my oldest) helped me by pushing the ribbon on the tag.  For some reason the lights seem way brighter in the video but it has a distinctly X-ray look in person.  He LOVED it so mission accomplished!

I hope you enjoy all of today’s products.  Remember that there are matching dies with the stamps too!  And on to someone getting to win!

Would you like to win the “Beautiful Bones” or “Spooky Skeletons” Stamp Set?

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Creepy Cameos

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Creepy Cameos published on 14 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Creepy Cameos

Welcome to day 2 of the September release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  Are you ready for a little bit of Halloween??  I thought that might be a yes!  You are in luck because today we are featuring a new stamp set called Creepy Cameos.  It has its own coordinating die set but there is also an additional frame die that is awesome called, simply, Cameo Die.

So don’t fall over from shock.  Do you see all that distressing??  Did you know I still knew how to do this, haha?!  Well, admittedly, I wasn’t sure either.  Let’s face it, clean is kind of where I go these days but somehow my first vision with this set was all about vintage and shabby.  So out came Distress Ink and my old distressing tool (pretty impressed that I even found it) and off I went.  I took a reinker and dyed some vanilla ribbon the purple color, then added in some black ink too.  My fingers “may” have been purple for the rest of the day.  The real fun came with the frame.  Choosing which image to feature was a tough one.  But this “bride of Frankenstein” was too awesome to ignore!  I cut two of the frames with the Cameo Die from an old Halloween designer paper and stacked them so that I could curl one up on the edges for dimension.  I sponged around the image (cut with the set’s coordinating dies) and put her up on some Dimensionals.  Just imagine all the things you can do with these frames and fun cameos!  I added the sentiment from the set onto a DSP sheet that I inked and distressed.  I did laugh that even in my distressing, this has a clean vibe to it.  Ah well, it was fun to get creative with a style a little outside my box.  I encourage you to do the same when you can!!  And now for the fun part

STAMPtember – Loads of Thanks

STAMPtember – Loads of Thanks published on 6 Comments on STAMPtember – Loads of Thanks

We are in the middle of the Newton’s Nook Designs release week so what better time to share the newest STAMPtember set from Simon Says Stamp?!!  Yes, today we celebrate the collaboration with Simon Says Stamp and Newton’s Nook Designs so you have to know how happy that makes me!  Two fabulous companies!Fall Thanks by Jen Timko | Loads of Thanks Stamp Set by Simon Says Stamp and Newton's Nook Designs, STAMPtember, Falling Leaves Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs, Chameleon Color Tops, Chameleon Pens

This sweet stamp set comes with our little dog friend pushing a wheel barrow and LOTS of options for filling it.  I thought it would be fun to add in the bunny and leaves, which gave me the perfect excuse to use the new Falling Leaves Stencil that NND revealed yesterday (and available on Friday, Sept. 15th).  I stamped the bunny and then masked to add the wheelbarrow in a way that makes the leaves kind of spill over.  Isn’t it cute?!  Then, using my Chameleon Pens and Color Tops, I colored the images.  I love how I can get a real fall leaf feel with the shading from these Color Tops!  I wanted the focus to stay on the image but the embossing paste with the stencil adds just the right amount of interest behind our little friends.  Gotta say, these are a perfect go-together.  Remember, this STAMPtember release is only available directly from Simon Says Stamp (and conveniently enough, they will have the new stencil a SSS on Friday once it goes “live”).  If all that wasn’t enough, there is a matching die set for the images too.  Good luck holding onto your paycheck!  STAMPtember is fun time of year but oh so dangerous for the budget!  *smile*Thanks for stopping in to see my take on the new release.  Make sure you go over to the Simon blog to see all the inspiration there.  See you back in a little while for Day 2 of the NND September release.

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Shades of Autumn and Falling Leaves

Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Shades of Autumn and Falling Leaves published on 29 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs September Release – Shades of Autumn and Falling Leaves

Welcome to day 1 of the September release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  Fall is definitely in the air and Newton’s Nook is ready!  We are starting off with a beautiful set called Shades of Autumn and a brand new stencil, Falling Leaves.  Both are fabulous!

Give Thanks by Jen Timko | Shades of Autumn Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Cross Stitched Dies, Distress Oxide InkThe detail on these images is really special and I wanted to make sure I showed the stamp detail as much as possible.  I thought that using the Distress Oxide Ink would do just that.  The ink is a bit thicker than some of the dye inks and grabs onto the stamp differently.  And then you have the added benefit of how it moves with water.  So I stamped the leaves and then spritzed with some water to get the ink run just a little.  Then I added some additional splatters with the ink and water mixed together.  The sentiment from the the set is such a nice size and fit perfectly with the leaves.  I cut out the panel with Cross-Stitched Rectangles Dies and the mounted on a base of Audrey Blue card stock cut with the same.  There are more fun leaves in this set and I can’t wait to play some more with them.  Of course, there are coordinating dies that makes your layering super easy.  And this stencil is GORGEOUS…perfect for all of your fall projects!  And now for the part you always love!!

Rainy Day

Rainy Day published on 2 Comments on Rainy Day

Rainy Day by Jen Timko | Newton's Rainy Day Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook, Chameleon Pens, Chameleon Color TopsToday is my day to share a project on the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog and given the news from Texas, my inspiration for this isn’t too hard to guess.  I thought that Newton’s Rainy Day was the perfect set for creating a card right now.

As soon as I pulled out this image with the big umbrella, I thought that my new Chameleon Color Tops would be fun to use.  And yep, was I right!  The shading on each panel was created by starting with a base color pen and then infusing with another color.  So my Fuchsia (PK5) pen was infused with Mellow Yellow (YO2) and what a cool effect, don’t you think?!  Same with the Turquoise (BG3) (infused with Mellow Yellow).  For the duck I used Mellow Yellow infused with Tangerine (OR3).  The kitty is Neutral Gray (NG4).

I combined “regular” Chameleon use with the Color Tops on this and it is amazing how much fun it was to experiment with color options.  Once I finished coloring, I was looking for just the right background when this one virtually jumped out at me.  Um, yeah…the ombré yellow from the Color Theory DSP matched perfectly!  I created a little frame and added some sequins and left most of the focus on this adorable image and its bright colors.  I hope you like my Newton’s extra this month.  So glad you stopped in to see me.  Back tomorrow with the latest from Freshly Made Sketches.  Until then, have a great day!

Newton’s Nook Designs and Chibitronics Inspiration Week plus a Giveaway

Newton’s Nook Designs and Chibitronics Inspiration Week plus a Giveaway published on 17 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs and Chibitronics Inspiration Week plus a Giveaway

This week Newton’s Nook Designs and Chibitronics are partnering for a fabulous inspiration week! All week long both design teams will be sharing ways to light up your cards using Chibi lights with Newton’s Nook Designs stamps!  This is a match just made to work together since so many of the NND sets have features that are perfect for lighting up.

Always Be Brave by Jen Timko | Knight's Quest Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Chibitronics, Light Up Card, Chibi LightsAs soon as I heard about the collaboration, my first thought was this dragon from Knight’s Quest.  I just knew that somehow he had to have “real” fire!  I started by coloring the images with Copic Markers (I have colors listed in my YouTube video).  I cut the hills using the Land Borders Dies (NND) and stitched rectangles dies (SSS).  My base is the new Tranquil Tide card stock (a Stampin’ Up In Color) that is sponged with Night of Navy ink.  The hills are Night of Navy and Smoky Slate (SU).  I put one of the red lights behind the fire and yellow lights behind the windows to create this awesome interactive card.  Want to see it lit?!

Always Be Brave Lit Up by Jen Timko | Knight's Quest Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Chibitronics, Chibi LightsIt is so awesome in person too!  I created a short video to show you a few more specifics on how I created the circuit and the “switch” for this.  Things I learned along the way….Think of a fun place for the switch so that it is easy for the recipient, make sure you press the copper tape on really well (I used a bone folder), check your circuits before gluing stuff down (I may have checked a few too many time, haha).  The kit comes with great directions on building your circuits.  Mine is a pretty basic parallel circuit.  Here is my video so you can see the rest:

 

And here is the link right to YouTube:  Knight’s Quest Light Up Card

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Autumn Newton

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Autumn Newton published on 28 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Autumn Newton

Welcome to the last of the August release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  I’m sure you have been waiting to see what Newton would be up to this month and we finally get to share!  He is getting ready for Fall!!  I knew I loved that kitty!

Pile of Fun by Jen Timko | Autumn Newton by Newton's Nook Designs, Zig Clean Color Markers, Fall Cat Card, Calico CatI have been getting a little push back from a certain calico I know that there have not been any Kate’s in my Newton release repertoire lately.  I tried to tell her that calico orange is difficult to match with other colors, especially in spring and summer palettes.  I was rewarded with a sprinkling of kitty glitter (cat fur) all over everything to prove the error of my ways.  Thankfully, “calico” matches fall perfectly so here she is.  Kate playing in the leaves!!  After stamping in Versafine Onyx Black ink, I colored the image on the Bristol paper using my Zig Clean Color Markers.  I used a couple of shades of each color to mimic the shading on the leaves we get in our yard every autumn.  To created the card, I used a sheet from my old This and That books from SU.  These were smash styled scrapbooks that have awesome prints.  In a recent crafty cleanup, I found one of the books and removed all the pages that were unused “just in case”.  I totally LOVE it as a layer here!!  I put some corrugated kraft paper underneath and added a little twine under Kate (Newton).  Now I’m all ready to start feeling a little of the crisp cool air of autumn in Virginia (my favorite season here!).  And you know the deal by now….you can win this set for free (it really is a great part of release week!).

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Knight’s Quest

Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Knight’s Quest published on 19 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs August Release – Knight’s Quest

Welcome to day 3 of the August release from Newton’s Nook Designs (this is post 2 for today, keep scrolling if looking for Freshly Made Sketches).  You definitely needed something to go with the princess and what better than this new little knight in Knight’s Quest?!

Hear Ye Hear Ye by Jen Timko | Knight's Quest Stamp by Newton's Nook Designs, Magic Slider Card, Zig Clean Color MarkersI took a bit of a break from all the girly pink to create this fun magic slider card.  I had never made one of these are they are cool to make!  (and disclaimer…almost impossible to photograph!!)  I stamped the images using my Misti onto Strathmore Bristol paper using Versafine Onyx Black Ink.  Then I stamped it again on a window sheet using Stazon (make sure you clean your stamps immediately but not using the Stazon cleaner since it will damage photopolymer stamps).  I colored the image on the Bristol paper using my Zig Clean Color Markers.  My slider was created using the Sea Borders Dies to give a little place to pull.  I used some retired DSP from SU as the frame for our brave fellow and added the little arrow from the set to show that the panel should be pulled.  Want to see it in action?!

You can also see it on the direct link here:  Magic Slider Card

I wanted to finish the announcement idea so I finished the inside of the card with an actual announcement from the set.  Just a quick stamp and color of the trumpet and this sentiment is adorable.  Hear Ye (inside) by Jen TimkoI love the idea of this card for a little boy who loves knights, don’t you?!  Just so great to have a set that is perfect for little boys (and big ones since mine were obsessed with playing around with the slider).  And you can get the set free for yourself!

Welcome to day 2 of the August release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  If you enjoyed the magic of yesterday’s reveal, you are sure to love today’s stamp set called Once Upon a Princess.  And what a beautiful princess she is!

If The Crown Fits by Jen Timko | Once Upon a Princess Stamp and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Copic ColoringI rarely work in so much pink but, you know, sometimes you just have to go all in!  I colored our little beauty using shades of pink and purple to create a dress worthy of her highness.  Then I played around with castle colors to make one any of us would love to have.  I seem to have an obsession with shaker cards lately and this pack of pink sequins and beads was the perfect filler for my super girly card.  I have the perfect recipient and mind and she LOVES princesses.  And this just happens to look a little like her.  Isn’t it awesome when you find a stamp set that you know is sure to bring a smile?!!  And you can get the set free for yourself!
