Today is my day to share a project on the Newton’s Nook Designs Blog. I had not pulled out these fun little cacti to color in a while and I thought they might be perfect for a post today. So Cuppa Cactus it is!
I colored the image using Copics and tried to use colors that had a bit of a southwest feel to them. I decided that the “sticking by me” sentiment was perfect (from the Cultivated Cacti set). I took a piece of the Wood Textures DSP (SU) and added some splatters of white craft ink then used a doily to ground the cactus. I found this ribbon in my stash that matched the blue perfectly that I thought was a fun extra detail. Finally, I added this sentiment and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.
I hope you like this fun card today. Thanks so much for stopping in and I’ll see you soon!

Today is Day 3 of the release from Newton’s Nook Designs. I’m super excited that we have not one but TWO sets to share (and matching dies!). Yeah….this is awesome!!!I’m starting with a card that I created for the release but also for the Freshly Made Sketches challenge this week. Our hostess is the lovely and amazing Cécile Ribon and she created this fun and clever sketch! I loved using it to show off the Cuppa Cactus stamp set.
I colored these adorable images using my Chameleon Pens. These are such fun to color!!! I sponged some stitched circles with Distress Ink in the coordinating colors and they are perfect to show off these fun image, don’t you think?! I stamped the “caution” sentiment to follow the sketch and then put the actual caution inside the card. *smile*Super cute, right?? All of you coffee fans will totally need this one. Not sure how to take it but my boys commented about this being perfect for me when I showed them the card. Hmmmm…..
This second card used the Cultivated Cacti set and I had such fun with it. I love that you can stamp quickly with solid image stamps and get such a cute little scene! I did a mix and match of inks and colors to created my scene. And oh, this sentiment (and the others in the set)….such fun little puns! While I think these are hard cards to make, having a stamp that says exactly what you need it to is invaluable. And, you can get the set for free!
