Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Wedding Frills and Floral Lace

Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Wedding Frills and Floral Lace published on 29 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs April Release – Wedding Frills and Floral Lace

Welcome back for day 2 of the April Release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  Today we have a wonderfully elegant set that is perfect for another fixture of spring…weddings.  It is called Wedding Frills and it is gorgeous.  As if that were not enough, we are showcasing a new stencil called Floral Lace as well.

Happily Ever After by Jen Timko | Wedding Frills Stamp Set and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Frames and Flags Dies by Newton's Nook DesignsWhen I saw these gorgeous images, I immediately wanted to make them look like lace on a wedding dress.  Something about embossing white on kraft colored card stock does that!  I cut the image layer with the Frames and Flags Dies and then stamped the big flower and sentiment with Versamark Ink (I did this in steps to avoid causing smudges with the Versamark).  Using Wow! Bright White Embossing Powder, I heat embossed.  Then I stamped a few of the little flowers and did the same.  Using the coordinating Wedding Frills dies, I cut those out and popped them up.  Finally I added some pearls to go with my wedding flowers.  I love the elegant feel of this card!

Hello by Jen Timko | Floral Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs, Essential Alphabet Dies by Newton's Nook DesignsFor my second card I wanted something with a more spring-like feel.  I cannot even tell you how awesome this stencil is to use!  I taped it onto some Bristol Smooth card stock and then sponged on Distress Inks  to highlight the flowers and leaves.  I sponged a little bit more of the paper and then cut out my sentiment letters with the new Essential Alphabet Dies.  I just used a bit of foam tape to pop them up and make them stand out more.  Think of all the color combinations you can try!  I can’t wait to make more of them.

I hope you enjoy these!  What a day 2!!  I know you have lots of hopping to do so off to visit the rest of the team for you.  But first….a chance to win!!

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Birthday Essentials

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Birthday Essentials published on 28 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Birthday Essentials

Welcome back for the last day of the March Release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  For our final reveal I have what you are sure to see as a “work horse” stamp set…a wonderful sentiment set called Birthday Essentials.

Celebrate by Jen Timko | Birthday Essentials Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Magic Stamp by Clear Snap, Distress Oxide Ink by Tim HoltzSo I have a confession to make.  My name is Jennifer and I’m a sentiment hoarder.  I love sentiment sets.  I “collect” sentiment sets.  Having just the right ones for inside and outside the card is simply a quest so I hold on to them even as I let images go now and then.  So when a set that is all about birthdays comes along, you can bet that I’m doing a happy dance.  Another truth (because, hey it is just among friends)…I never seem to have enough masculine cards.  Perhaps it is because Kitty Kate and I are outnumbered.  Perhaps it is my obsession with cute images and all flowers.  But somehow, when it comes time to reach for a card for man, I don’t have the right one.  So I committed to making one (and I’ll be making a few more just like it).  I felt like I need a cool background so I used this fun Magic Stamp by Clearsnap.  It allows you to make your own background and just stamp.  I was playing with it on my trip to Kansas and the incredible Jen Shults (yes, I did just name drop) suggested I press it into some concrete on the sidewalk.  And I got this texture.  Cool!!  I inked it up with Distress Oxide Ink and just stamped onto watercolor paper, then spritzed with a little water.

Celebrate by Jen Timko closeup | Birthday Essentials Stamp by Newton's Nook Designs, Magic Stamp by Clear SnapThis big bold sentiment (which fits perfectly onto the Frames and Flags Die banner) becomes the focus and I have a fabulous, non-girly, no bling birthday card.  Yay!!!  And while this is super clean, the great script sentiment makes this still feel special.  Birthday Essentials for the win!!

I hope you like this card idea and I’m just sure you will love everything the team made for today.  Now one more time for this release…  A chance to win!!

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Uplifting Wishes Stamp and Balloon Shaker Die

Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Uplifting Wishes Stamp and Balloon Shaker Die published on 30 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs March Release – Uplifting Wishes Stamp and Balloon Shaker Die

Welcome back for day 2 of the March Release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  We are back with a pair that is sure to bring a smile.  Introducing the Uplifting Wishes Stamp Set and the coordinating Balloon Shaker Die.

Smile by Jen Timko | Uplifting Wishes Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Balloon Shaker Die by Newton's Nook Designs, 28 Lilac Lane SequinsIs there anyone that doesn’t love a shaker card?!  I think not!  I love the idea of a balloon shaker and today’s combination of products is fun for so many occasions.  I stamped this sentiment onto Shimmery White paper with Versafine Onyx Black ink and then cut it out using the outline balloon.  I cut another piece of the same white with the shaker border die.  I ran some of the double sided foam (NND) through with the shaker border die and the acetate (NND) through with the outline.  I ran some antistatic powder around the inside edge of the foam (to keep the sequins from sticking) and they put the whole thing together.  I think it takes longer to type up how to do it than to actually make this fun balloon!  Once my little shaker was together, all I had to do was put it on a fun background.  I used the Frames and Flags dies to layer these prints and tied on a little coordinating twine to finish the balloon before attaching it.

I hope you enjoy my card for today and I know you’ll enjoy the projects from the rest of the team.  Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week.  A chance to win!!

Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Bitty Bunnies

Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Bitty Bunnies published on 22 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs February Release – Bitty Bunnies


Welcome back for day 2 of the February Release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  Today I have a little cuteness overload for you.  I mean really, who can resist Bitty Bunnies?!

Ear-resistable by Jen Timko | Bitty Bunnies Stamp Set and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Frames and Flags Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Basket Weave Embossing Folder by Stampin' UpI really wanted to put the focus on this sweet little bunny but still have some neutral details to add to the card.  I started by coloring the bunny with my Copics and knew he would be super cute against this notecard (from SU’s Sale-a-bration).  I liked how the envelope had the light brown with speckles so I colored the bunny to coordinate, including the speckles.  I used a new embossing folder with the basket weave which is a nod to an Easter basket but I like that this doesn’t have to be an Easter card.  The Flags and Frames Dies were used for the stitched details and for the banner.  The bunnies, butterflies and flowers in this set all work to give you lovely little scene choices and you are sure to love coloring them.

Make sure you hop over to see all the bunny cards from our amazing DT at NND!  Such inspiration!  Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week.  A chance to win!!

Newton’s Nook Designs November Release – Cup of Cocoa and Frozen Fellowship

Newton’s Nook Designs November Release – Cup of Cocoa and Frozen Fellowship published on 56 Comments on Newton’s Nook Designs November Release – Cup of Cocoa and Frozen Fellowship

Welcome to day 1 of the November Release from Newton’s Nook Designs.  We have such fun products to show you this week and we are starting today with lots to share.  Two stamp sets and two new stand alone die sets….wow!

Everything Nice by Jen Timko | Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set and Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Snowfall Stencil by Newton's Nook Designs, Copic Coloring, Be Merry DSP by Stampin' UpOur first set I’m showing you is called Cup of Cocoa! ** Warning:  Triggers uncontrollable tendencies to run to the kitchen and make some cocoa immediately!! ** I used the Color Theory paper from Stampin’ Up and the Snowfall Stencil from Newton’ Nook as an embossing folder.  This is a great way to stretch your stencils and add fun details to a background.  I colored this adorable cup from the set to match the ombré paper.  Fun, right?!  The new Frames & Flags Dies create quick banners that layer wonderfully and all I had to do was add a sentiment from the stamp set.

Snow-one else by Jen Timko | Frozen Fellowship Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs, Frames & Flags Dies by Newton's Nook Designs, Zig Clean Color PensFor my second card, I get to show you Frozen Fellowship.  This is perfect for holiday cards but it continues to work into the rest of winter too!  The minute I saw this set, I knew exactly what I wanted to do.  I loved the idea of choosing one of the snowmen to stand out as unique and the used this fabulous sentiment.  Using my Zig Clean Color Markers, I colored all the snowmen in shade of gray.  Then chose this funny little guy at the bottom for full color (I confess that choosing which snowman to have color was the hard part, haha).  I used the new Frames & Flags Dies again here and you can see how awesome they are to create layers.

Yes, indeed, this is another amazing day 1.  And I did tell you there are two new stand alone dies.  The other one (which I will use later this week) is called the Fancy Edges Tag Die set and you are going to love it!  You can see all the features in the graphic below.  Now on to everyone’s favorite part of release week.  A chance to win!!
