Inky Paws Challenge #165 - Sketch Challenge Reminder Post

 Hi everyone!  This is a reminder post for Inky Paws Challenge #165 - Sketch Challenge.  You have until Friday, January 28th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!

To start my card I cut a piece of blue cardstock to 6 1/2" x 5" for my cardbase.  For the layers, I cut a piece of silver glitter cardstock to 4 3/4" x 3 1/4", and a piece of smooth white cardstock to 4 1/4" x 2 3/4" on which I blended Distress Oxide Inks Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, and Blueprint Sketch.  I then splattered my ink blended piece with white paint and set it aside to dry.  I used the stitched fishtail banner from the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a piece of silver glitter cardstock.  

After the white paint on my ink blended piece had dried, I stamped these absolutely gorgeous snowflakes from the Beautiful Blizzard Stamp Set and white embossed.  I used the stitched fishtail banner from the Banner Trio Die Set to cut a blue banner on which I white heat embossed the sentiment.  I cut the banner down using the same die for a better fit on my card, then white heat embossed the edges.

With all of the pieces ready, I assembled my card layering the cardstock and popping up the sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension!  

Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!

Clarence & Clarice Valentine Card

 Hi everyone!  Today I am sharing a Valentine card I created using the new Clarence & Clarice - Love Stamp Set by The Rabbit Hole Designs!

For this card I used the Valentine Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flamingo, and Candied Apple to create a background.  I then splattered the background with gold watercolor paint.

I love these adorable images of Clarence & Clarice from the new Clarence & Clarice - Love Stamp Set and couldn't wait to use them!  I stamped them out on Copic friendly white paper, colored them with my markers, and cut them out with their coordinating dies.  

I assembled my card using pink cardstock for the base, and foam tape to pop up Clarence & Clarice for some dimension!

For finishing touches on this card I added white gel pen accents and glitter to the heart!  Thank you and I hope you enjoyed my card today!

Coffee and Gingerbread Cards

  Hi All!  I'm over on the Pawsome Stamps blog today with these two CAS cards I created by combining the Coffee Besties and Gingerbread Lane Stamp Sets!

To start these cards I cut two A2 cardbases, one red glitter cardbase, and one teal cardbase.  I then die cut two white background pieces.  

I stamped out the images I wanted to use from the Coffee Besties Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers, and cut them out with the coordinating die set.  I then stamped out the adorable gingerbread girl and boy, and a candy cane, from the Gingerbread Lane Stamp Set, colored them, and cut them out with their coordinating dies.  I white heat embossed a snowflake from the Gingerbread Lane Stamp Set onto the pink coffee cup, and replaced the straw in the polka dot coffee cup with a candy cane!

I die cut two dark gray cardstock banners on which I white heat embossed the sentiments, one from the Gingerbread Lane Stamp Set, and one from the Coffee Besties Stamp Set.  

I assembled my cards, adhering the white backgrounds to the cardbases, and then adhering the images and sentiment banners to my cards with foam tape for dimension!

For finishing touches on these cards I added white gel pen accents, glitter with a glitter pen, glossy accents, and a few sparkling sequins from the Peppermint and Sparkling Mint Sequin Mixes!  I hope you enjoyed my cards today!  Don't forget to head on over to the Pawsome Stamps online shop to pick up your Coffee Besties and Gingerbread Lane Stamp Sets today!

Inky Paws Challenge #165 - Sketch Challenge

To start my card I cut a piece of smooth white cardstock to 6 1/2" x 5" on which I blended Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina, Kitsch Flamingo, and Shaded Lilac.  I then splattered white paint on my ink blended panel.  After the paint had dried, I used the Snowfall Stencil with glitter paste to create a sparkling snowy background!

For the layers, I cut a piece of teal cardstock to 4 3/4" x 3 1/4", and a piece of white glitter cardstock to 4 1/4" x 2 3/4".  I used the stitched fishtail banner from the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a piece of white glitter cardstock.  

Next, I stamped this super cute image from the Snow Angel Puppy Stamp Set, colored it with Copic markers, and cut it out with the coordinating die.  I also stamped the bird from the Festive Fawns Stamp Set, colored it, and cut it out with the coordinating die as well.  

I used the smallest banner die in the Frames and Flags Die Set to cut a piece of teal cardstock on which I white heat embossed the sentiment from the Snow Angel Puppy Stamp Set.  

With all of the pieces ready, I assembled my card layering the cardstock and popping up the pup, bird, and sentiment with foam tape for some dimension! 

For finishing touches on this card I added accents with a white gel pen, and glossy accents to the pup's nose and bird's beak!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Sketch Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!

Inky Paws Challenge #164 - Color Challenge Reminder Post

 Hi everyone!  This is an Inky Paws Challenge reminder post!  It is a Color Challenge.  The colors are Candy Red, Cream, Cocoa Brown, and Pewter Gray.  You have until Friday, January 14th to get your entries in and have a chance to win a $20 store credit to Newton's Nook Designs online shop!

I decided to create two bookmarks because I thought these colors were perfect for a vintage book look!  I started by die cutting the two bookmarks out of cream color cardstock using the new Bookmark Die Set. I then inked the edges of the bookmarks with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  

Next, I stamped these super cute images from the new All Booked Up Stamp Set, colored them with Copic markers and cut them out with the coordinating die set.  

I die cut the paw and the sentiment using the Bookmark Die Set, and inked both with Vintage Photo Distress Oxide Ink.  

I adhered my images and sentiment directly onto the bookmarks, and finished them with brown and cream ribbon!

For finishing touches on my images I added accents with a white gel pen, and glossy accents to their cute little noses!  Now it's time to get your paws inky creating a project for the Color Challenge using your Newton's Nook Designs products.  Be sure to link up to the Inky Paws Challenge!  Hope to see you there!
