Newton's Nook Designs Winston Takes Flight

Hi crafty friends! I have a fun one-layer scene card to share with you featuring Newton’s Nook Designs’ Winston Takes Flight.

I created a simple one-layer card by stamping out the images, which luckily did not overlap. Next, I created masks and ink blended the background with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink in the center and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink around the edges. I splattered the background with white paint and colored the images with my Copic Markers.

Copic Color Combinations

Bear: E44, E43, E42, E41
Plane: R39, R29, R24, C5, C3, C1
Yellow: Y38, Y06
Black: W5, W7
Mountains: E79, E77, E74, E71
White: C1, C0, White Gel Pen

When my card panel was complete, I used a stitched rectangle die to die cut the panel to A2 size. For the sentiment, I used Versafine Onyx Black ink and set it with black embossing powder.

I am so excited about this challenge and I hope you like my take on a one-layer challenge. Thank you so much for stopping by; until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Newton's Nook Designs Peony Blooms

Happy Wednesday, crafty friends! I hope your week is fantastic so far and only gets better as we near the weekend. I have a simple card to share featuring Peony Blooms by Newton’s Nook Designs.

This is a fantastic set of beautiful florals to take center stage on my card for a special friend. I stamped the images out several times then used my Copic Markers to color them in. I am not a huge fan of yellow, except for flowers. So naturally, these had to be yellow.

After coloring the images, I used my ScanNCut to cut them out.

Copic Color Combinations

Yellow: Y00, Y04, Y08, Y18, Y38
Green: YG00, YG03, YG17, YG67

Working on the background, I trimmed a piece of smooth cardstock to an A7 size (5 x 7) panel, and ink blended the background. I used Spun Sugar Distress Oxide in the center, then blended outward with Kitsch Flamingo Distress Oxide ink and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink at the edges. I splattered the panel with diluted white acrylic paint and pink ink to give my card a little texture.

Next, I stamped the sentiment and added a thin frame die-cut from black cardstock to frame the Peony Blooms to finish this card. And lastly, I arranged the images in the lower portion of the card with foam adhesive and added a few clear drops by Studio Katia.

Newton’s Nook Designs Winter Birds | Copic Coloring

Posted on January 13, 2022January 25, 2022 by pixiedonna

Newton's Nook Winter Birds

Hey crafty friends! I hope you are keeping warm where ever you are. I’m in Florida and for us Floridians – 60’s is cold. Although it could just be me, but, this girl definitely misses the warm weather. Today’s card uses Winter Birds by Newton’s Nook Designs and is inspired by the current color challenge at Inky Paws.

I love cardinals, their spectacular red color is a symbol of absolute beauty. After stamping the images with Copic-friendly ink, I used my Copic Markers to color the images.

Copic Color Combinations

Cardinal: R39, R29, R27, R24, R17, R14, W7
Berries: C5, C4, C2

I struggled with the background quite a lot before settling on using a piece of patterned paper. I matted the cream music sheet piece of patterned paper to an A2-sized brown cardstock. Interestingly enough, the combination worked.

Newton's Nook Winter Birds

Next, I used the small berry image to create a wreath surrounding the little cardinal and adhered those on a piece of vellum. I attached the cardinal to the center of the wreath with foam adhesive and centered a sentiment strip at the bottom.

It’s a simple card, with a vintage feel and very unlike me. But I absolutely love the way the card came together. I hope you do too! As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Newton’s Nook Designs Deer Friends | Christmas Tag | Copic Coloring

Posted on December 14, 2021December 16, 2021 by pixiedonna

Newton's Nook Designs Deer Friends

Hey crafty friends! I am back with another Christmas-inspired tag featuring Newton’s Nook Designs’ Deer Friend. I shared a tag last week featuring the same stamp, read the post here.

For this tag, I used a blue palette by ink blending a piece of Bristol smooth cardstock with Tumbled Glass and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide inks. For a little texture to the background, I added splatters with diluted white acrylic paint and set it aside to dry.

I previously stamped and colored the image with Copic markers using the color combination below.

Copic Marker Combination

Deer: E39, E37, E35, E33, R22, R21, R20
face: E33, E31, E30
Red: R39, R27, R24

Newton's Nook Designs Deer Friends

When the tag was dry, I stamped the sentiment using black ink. Next, I created a snowy hill by die-cutting a piece of white cardstock then adhered the images using glue dots or liquid adhesive.

Once again, this tag was inspired by the current Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge.

As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Newton’s Nook Designs Deer Friends | Christmas Tag | Copic Coloring

Posted on December 10, 2021December 12, 2021 by pixiedonna

Newton's Nook Designs Deer Friends

Hey crafty friends! As we near Christmas Celebrations and begin exchanging gifts, creating handmade gifts tags is the perfect finishing touch to add.

For this tag, I used Newton’s Nook Designs’ Deer Friends stamp set, Fox Hollow stamp set, and tag dies by Sizzix.

To begin my tag, I first stamped several images of the deer from the Deer Friends stamp set, and the evergreen trees from the Fox Hollow stamp set. Then, I used my Copic Markers to color in all of the images.

Copic Marker Combination

Deer: E39, E37, E35, E33, R22, R21, R20
Light: E33, E31, E30
Tree: G28, YG67, YG63, YG03

After coloring, I used my ScanNCut to cut the images out leaving a small border. I knew I wanted to have more of the ink blended background visible so I opted to use a large tag die-cut. My tags are die-cut from Bristol smooth cardstock using Sizzix Framelits Tag Dies.

The sky is ink blended with Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink at the top and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide ink toward the bottom of the tag. I added splatters to the background with diluted acrylic paint that mimics snow.

Once the tag was dry, I stamped the sentiment with black ink. I created a snowy hill from white cardstock and attached the images with glue dots.

To finish this tag, I fed a coordinating ribbon through the hole at top of the tag. This tag was inspired by the current Newton’s Nook Inky Paws Challenge. As always thank you so much for stopping by, until next time….sprinkle a little creativity on your day!

Hey crafty friends! Now that Thanksgiving is over, it is time to start making those Christmas cards. I am starting my Christmas card making with this adorable cat by Newton’s Nook Designs. This stamp is called Candy Cane and it is adorably festive for the occasion.

To begin, I stamped all of the images with Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto smooth cardstock. Using my Copic Markers, I colored all of the images.

Newton's Nook Candy Cane

After coloring the images, I used my ScanNCut to cut the images out leaving a small border.

Working on the background, I ink blended a piece of smooth cardstock using Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink. Next, I trimmed the panel into three pieces and matted the ink blended panels onto a piece of white A2-sized card front.

At this point, I was ready to assemble all of the elements onto a card base. I heat embossed a sentiment, added the images, and finished the card with a white frame.

Newton's Nook Designs Newton Dreams of Paris

Hey crafty friends! It has been a dream of mine to one day travel to Paris since I was in my early teens. I don’t know what happened, but I blinked and time flew by. I can still dream along with Newton’s Dreams of Paris stamp set by Newton’s Nook.

One of my favorite card designs is to create scenes and I thought this was a perfect stamp to create a French countryside scene with Newton and of course the Eiffel Tower. I began the card by stamping all of the images onto smooth white cardstock with Memento Tuxedo Black dye ink. Then I colored the images with Copic Markers using the color combinations listed below.

Copic Marker Combination

Black Cat: N7, N5, N3, N1, R32, R30

Newton's Nook Designs Newton Dreams of Paris

After coloring all of the images and using my ScanNCut to cut those out, I set them aside to work on the background. Using Distress Oxide ink in Tumbled Glass, I lightly inked up a piece of heavy-weight smooth cardstock. Next, I created the clouds using the Cloudy Sky Stencil and Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink. I trimmed the background panel using a stitched rectangle die and set it aside to work on the grassy hills.

With Mowed Lawn and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide inks, I ink blended a couple of strips of cardstock and die-cut them using the Stitched Hillside Borders die by Lawn Fawn. And finally, I created a speech bubble for the sentiment by modifying the cloud stamp image.

At this point, I had all of the elements and began adhering the images to create a fun Parisian Countryside scene with two of the most adorable cats!

For the background, I first ink blended an A2 sized panel with Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink then I added the Sky Stencil.
Using a palette knife I applied a matte metallic texture paste. As a result, it created a ton of contrast in the background.

I made a grassy hill panel by die-cutting a panel and ink blending it with Mowed Lawn and Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink
then I splattered the panel with water and blotted it dry with a clean paper towel.

To finish, I adhered the background panel to a white card base and also added all of the images with foam squares for some added dimension.

Newton’s Nook Designs Pot of Gold | Glitter Paste Stenciled Background

Posted on March 12, 2020April 13, 2020 by pixiedonna

Hi everyone, I have a quick card for St. Patrick’s Day featuring Newton’s Nook Designs Pot of Gold with a stenciled glitter paste.

Newton's Nook Pot of Gold

First, I began working on the background by applying the Bo Bunny Wasabi Green Glitter Paste through the Cloudy Sky
Stencil onto a piece of 110lb. Neenah Solar White cardstock. I applied a thin and an even layer of glitter paste across the
stencil with a palette knife and then left the background to completely dry. While the background was drying, I stamped
the images of Newton with Memento Tuxedo ink onto a piece of Neenah Solar White 80lb cardstock and colored them
in with Copic markers.

Copic Markers Combination

Cat: YR24, YR14, YR21, Y32, Y21 E08, R22, R20
Hat: C9, C7, C5, C3
Pot: C9, C7, C5, C3, C1
Gold: Y38, Y13
Green clover: G28, YG09, G02

NEwton's Nook Pot of Gold

Once the background was dry, I added dots of black Ranger Enamel Accents across the entire panel. I had to patiently wait again for the black enamel dots to dry before die cutting the panel with the scalloped rectangle die from the Frames and Flags Die Set.

To finish off this card, I stamped the sentiment with embossing ink and heat set it with white embossing powder on a piece of black cardstock. I added the focal point image onto foam squares and added a piece of vellum behind him to help the image stand apart from the background.
