Newton's Nook Designs Inky Paws Challenge - Theme ChallengeLucky Dog Stamp and Die Set, Framework Die Set, A Cat's Life Paper Pad by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnookdesigns #newtonsnook #nnd #handmade

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock using the frame die from the Framework Die Set.  I then used the same die to cut green glitter cardstock to create a sparkling frame to use around my image.  I then stamped the smaller images, and sentiment, from the Lucky Dog Stamp Set on the white cardstock to create a festive background!

Next, I stamped this super cute puppy image and hat from the Lucky Dog Stamp Set.  I colored the images with copic markers, then cut them out using the coordinating die set.

I assembled my card using a green glitter cardbase.  I used the large postage stamp die from the Framework Die Set to cut out the paw print pattern paper from A Cat's Life Paper Pad.  I popped up the green glitter frame and pup with foam tape for some dimension!

Thank you so much

  Hi everyone!  I'm up on the Pawsome Stamps blog today sharing this card I created using the Mandala Stamp Set!  This card is so easy to make, and comes out so beautifully!

Mandala Stamp Set and Mint Chip Sequin Mix by Pawsome Stamps #pawsomestamps #handmade

To start this card I die cut a piece of smooth white cardstock, stamped the mandala image, and gold heat embossed.

I blended on Distress Oxide Inks Salvaged Patina, Peacock Feathers, Prize Ribbon, and Black Soot.  I then wiped the ink off of the embossed image.  I splattered gold watercolor paint onto the panel and set it aside to dry.

Next, I die cut a black sentiment banner, stamped the sentiment, which is from the Mandala Stamp Set, and gold heat embossed.

I assembled my card using black cardstock for the base, and adhered the sentiment banner with foam tape for some dimension!

To start this card I die cut the large fishtail banner from smooth white cardstock.  I used the Quatrefoil Stencil with Distress Oxide Ink Salvaged Patina to create the wallpaper, and blended on Weathered Wood to create the floor.  

Next, I stamped this image of Newton from the Naughty Newton Stamp Set, colored him with copic markers, and cut him out using the coordinating die set.  I stamped the table and vase images from the Cozy Home Stamp Set, colored them, and cut them out with their coordinating die set.  The mouse is from the Welcome New Cat Stamp Set which has a coordinating die set as well!

I stamped the sentiment, which is from the Naughty Newton Stamp Set, directly onto the background in black pigment ink.  

I assembled my card, measuring 6.5" x 5", using a gray cardbase.  The blue paw print pattern paper is from A Cat's Life Paper Pad and measures 6" x 4.5".  The mouse pattern paper is from the same paper pad and measures 2"x 4.5".  I adhered Newton to the card with foam tape for some dimension, and before adhering the other images, I cut the vase into pieces to make it look like it broke when it hit the floor!
