Inky Paws Challenge #138

12/7/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  It's still not too late to start your handmade holiday cards!  It's Monday and that means we have a new challenge to share with you at Inky Paws.  Challenge #138 is a sketch challenge.   Using the sketch from the image below, I hope you will be inspired to create a card featuring Newton's Nook products!
Picture
Here is the card I created inspired by this week's sketch:

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies (with clickable links) is located at the end of this post. 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I cut a 5" x 3 3/4" piece of white cardstock and mounted it to a 5 1/4" x 4" piece of lime green cardstock. I cut a 5" x 2" piece of green plaid paper to adhere to the left side of the card (resembling the sketch).  I die cut a large circle from red cardstock and heat embossed the sentiment "Fa-La-La-La-La" in white embossing powder.  I die cut a smaller circle from white cardstock and stamped the sentiment "meow to the world" in Garden Green ink.  I stamped the Caroling Newton image in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and used the coordinating Caroling Newton die to die cut it out.  I colored the image with Copic markers and then adhered the caroling cats to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  Lastly, I tied some green baker's twine around the card before adhering all layers down.

Inky Paws Challenge #136

11/16/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  Unfortunately ours was filled with garage cleaning, leaf cleanup and cooking, so there wasn't much fun or relaxing time to be had.  
Well, it's Monday and today I am sharing another card that I made for the 
Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge.  Week number two of Challenge #136 is continuing on with choosing your favorite NND stamp set!   Our challenges run for two weeks, thereby giving you more time to create, so I have designed a second card to share with you this week that was still inspired by the same image seen below:
Picture
In full disclosure, this week I selected the "Festive Fawns" stamp set as my favorite simply because the images were already colored leftover from another card I had made last year!  So, yes, this might be cheating just a little bit, but I'm all for "work smarter, not harder!"  : )
Picture

Card details: 

*A full supply list is located at the end of this post.

The base of this A2 sized card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  I created the background by using alcohol inks ink pink, coral and lemonade on Yupo paper.  I die cut four white birch trees using the Forest Scene Builder die set.  I adhered the trees to the background before cutting a snowbank from white cardstock using the Land Borders die set.  I stamped the sentiment in pink ink on the lower left side of the snowbank.  I stamped the critters from the Festive Fawns stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black in on white cardstock and colored the images using Copic markers.  I used the coordinating Festive Fawns dies to cut the images out.  I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Fall Peacock

10/22/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello friends and happy Thursday!  Today I am on the Birch Press Design blog sharing some fall inspiration.  I'm not even sure that "fall peacock's" are a thing, but I'm starting the movement. (I'm also side-Googling if any other peacock colors exist other than the blue-green hues we traditionally see). . . And if not, well, they do now!  Hey, it's 2020, stranger things have happened. . . 
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this A2 sized card is made from 80 lb. Neenah White Solar Smooth cardstock. This is my go-to white cardstock that I use for everything from card bases, die cutting, stamping and Copic coloring. The first 5 1/4" x 4" mat is a piece of miscellaneous woodgrain foil paper. I die cut a large white oval from white cardstock and adhered it to the center of the card using a Tombow Permanent Dot Runner.  Using the Regal Peacock Layering dies, I die cut the bottom layer (Layer D) from gold glitter cardstock. I die cut Layer C from cherry cardstock. I die cut Layer B from rust cardstock and finally Layer A was also cut from gold glitter cardstock. I also cut the body of the peacock from cherry cardstock. ​
Picture
I adhered all four layers of the Regal Peacock together using LineCo pH bookbinding glue. This glue is my preferred liquid glue and holds glitter paper together much better than a dot runner. I adhered the completed peacock to the center of the oval using foam adhesive for added dimension. Lastly, I stamped the sentiment on white cardstock (using the Christmas Ornament Labels stamp set) in cherry ink and die cut it using the coordinating die. I adhered the sentiment to the lower right side of the card using foam adhesive. ​

Hopefully I've convinced you that with a little imagination, peacocks can look beautiful in any color - even if it's not "real."
Thanks for visiting and have a wonderfully creative day!

Inky Paws Challenge #133

10/5/2020

0 Comments

 
Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  I spent a good portion of it in my craft room on Saturday celebrating World Cardmaking Day.  And by celebrating, I mean tackling my mile-long card deadline!  So really, my Saturday was more in honor of World Cardmaking Day considering there were no celebratory drinks or cupcakes involved!  And, because of Covid, I had to celebrate virtually with my friends on Instagram rather that our traditional in-person gathering. 

  Every Monday means it's time for another Inky
 Paws Challenge!  Our challenges run for two weeks, thus giving you more time to create.  So this week we are continuing along with our theme for Challenge #133.   I have designed a second card to share with you that was still inspired by the same image seen below:
Picture
Here is the slimline card I created inspired by the autumn theme challenge:
Picture

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post. 

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2."  Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  You can even now by slimline envelopes in a variety of colors to coordinate perfectly with your cards!  The base of this card is made from 80 lb. Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  Using a miscellaneous piece of woodgrain paper, I cut the mat to 8 1/4" x 3 1/4".  Using the Slimline Frames and Windows die set, I cut the frame out of white cardstock.  I lined the back of the frame with miscellaneous plaid/gingham papers.  
Picture
I stamped the images from the Autumn Mice stamp set in Memento Black ink on Neenah white cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating Autumn Mice dies.  I always add some highlights to my colored images with a Uniball white gel pen.  I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in orange ink on a thin strip of white cardstock, notched the left edge and adhered it to the top right of the card.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

*I will be taking my first official "vacation" of 2020, and, as such, will also be taking a much needed break from blogging.  I will return to regular posting on Monday, September 21st.  Be well friends and I'll see you when I return.

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit inside a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  Newton's Nook is now selling slimline envelopes in a variety of colors, so scoop them up now to send your cards out!  The base of this card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  Using the Slimline Portholes frames, I die cut the frame from Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  I then cut an 8" x 3" piece of white cardstock for the background to the mice.  Using the Land Border dies, I die cut the grassline from the same Blackberry Bliss cardstock.  I stamped the sentiment in the middle of the card in Blackberry Bliss ink.  I stamped the images from the Autumn Mice stamp set in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers.  I used the coordinating Autumn Mice dies to die cut the images out.  I adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Hello readers and welcome back from the weekend!  I hope you found a little time to do something crafty.  Today I am sharing another card that I made for the Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge.  Challenge #130 continues on with a theme challenge designed to inspire you.  Our challenges run for two weeks, thereby giving you more time to create, so I have designed a second card to share with you this week that was still inspired by the same image seen below:
Picture
Here is the card I created inspired by this week's "create a scene" theme: 
Picture

Card details: 

The base of this slimline card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock.  For the top sun part of the card, I ink sponged Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink onto a 3 1/4" x 3" piece of Bristol smooth paper.  Using the Sunscape Stencil, I applied more Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink over the sky to create the sun beams.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Tuxedo Black ink.  I used the Landborders Dies to cut the sand hills and grass from Crumb Cake cardstock and Old Olive cardstock.  I fussy cut the pond myself from Pool Party cardstock.  ​
Picture
I stamped all of the images from the Newton's Nook Winston's Lake House stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and colored them using Copic markers. I die cut the images using the coordinating Winston's Lake House dies. I began to adhere the colored images to the card with 3M foam adhesive (for added dimension) and created a scene.  I also stamped one camper and flamingoes from the Newton's Nook Cozy Camper stamp set.  I also cut this out using the coordinating Cozy Camper dies.  Lastly, I added a coat of Clear Wink of Stella to many of the images for added sparkle.   ​

Happy Hamsters

8/4/2020

1 Comment

 
Welcome August and a new release at Whimsy Stamps!  Before I get to today's "Happy Hamster's" card, let me tell you a sad little story about a not-so-happy hamster. . . the pet one I had when I was around 10 or 12 years old.  My poor little guy (or girl, maybe?  How do we even know the gender of a hamster?!) tragically died by choking on a piece of broccoli that I didn't cut small enough for him. Yup, I am a ruthless hamster
​ murderess. . . It's untimely death still haunts me to this day, so I wasn't sure to laugh or cry when I received this new stamp set from Whimsy!  Also, I'm pretty sure that I have always thought the word was "hamPster", so here's to learning something new today!
Picture

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

The base of this slimline card is made from Neenah Solar White 80 lb cardstock.  Using the new Birthday Slimline dies, I cut the frame from Crumb Cake cardstock.  I created an ink blended background on a 8" x 3" piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock.  I blended Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide ink on the top 1/3 of the card, Broken China Distress Oxide ink in the middle and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide ink on the lower 1/3 of the card.  I then spritzed the cardstock with water to develop those ink splotches.  I stamped the sentiment in the upper right corner in Bermuda Bay ink.  
Picture
I stamped the hamster images in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a piece of Neenah Solar White smooth cardstock.  I colored the images with Copic markers and then die cut them using the coordinating "Happy Hamsters" dies.  I adhered the die cut images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the images for added sparkle.

Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and do not require additional postage.  The base of this slimline card is made from Neenah Solar White Smooth cardstock. Using the Slimline Frames die, I cut the base from Crumb Cake cardstock.  I lined the scalloped frame with an 8" x 2 3/4" piece of white cardstock.  Using Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I randomly stamped ants from the Woodland Picnic stamp on the white cardstock.  I die cut three circles from red gingham paper and centered these on the card.  Using the same Woodland Picnic stamp set, I stamped the animal images in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock.  I colored them using Copic markers and die cut them using the coordinating Woodland Picnic dies.  I then adhered the images to the card using 3M foam adhesive for added dimension.  I stamped the sentiment in Memento Black ink on a thin strip of white cardstock and notched both ends before adhering over the center gingham circle.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to many of the images for added sparkle.

Bizzy Bees

7/31/2020

It's another fun "Bizzy Bees" card!  The latest hugely popular stamp set from Whimsy Stamps is back again today for another slimline card.  Not only is the "Bizzy Bees" stamp set super cute, it's coordinating "Bizzy Bees" paper pack is perfectly matched!
Picture

Card details: 

*A full list of supplies is located at the end of this post.

This slimline card measures 8 1/2" x 3 1/2".  Slimline cards are designed to fit into a regular #10 business sized envelope and require no additional postage.  The base of this slimline card is made from Basic Black cardstock.  Using the Slimline Card Builder Die, I cut the stitched mat from white cardstock.  I splattered some yellow ink all over this white background before adhering it to the card base.  Using the Hexagon dies, I die cut three pieces of pink paper from the "Bizzy Bees" paper pack and adhered them to the card lined up through the center of the card.  I stamped the bees in Memento Tuxedo black ink on white cardstock and colored them with Copic markers.  I then used my Brother Scan and Cut 2 Electronic Cutting machine to cut the images (in lieu of fussy cutting).  After cutting the images I adhered them to the card using 3M foam adhesive.  I stamped the sentiments in Memento Tuxedo Black ink on strips of white cardstock and adhered them beside the bees.  Lastly, I added a coat of clear Wink of Stella to the bees for added sparkle.

    • I do not do sponsored posts (where a company pays me to talk about a product).
    • I do not place ads on my blog.  Ever. I hate them and I know you do too!
    Whether gifted, or from my own supply, all recommendations are based on items I use and truly love, and think you will too.
