I have two cards using the same papers but for different occasions. 

I started by selecting the purple striped paper from the Halloween Meows paper pad and the green hounds tooth paper from the Canine Christmas paper pads. I used the scallop-edge frame die from the Framework die set on both papers.  I then stacked them together and cut my diagonal strips. I then cut two white pieces using the same die.  I alternated the papers on one of the white scalloped pieces.  I then used the other pieces and repeated the process. For the Halloween card, I placed the striped frames on a white scalloped layer (Frames & Flags die set) and stamped the sentiment on a banner using the same die set  I proceeded to color the Bride of Frankenstein in shades of purple and green with just a splash of orange.  

I took the second striped, scalloped piece and wrapped some jute twine around it before adhering it to a white card base.  I then colored some mum blooms from the Chrysanthemum stamp set and popped it up with some 3D foam tape.  I used a sentiment from the Fall Roundabout stamp set. I love how both cards turned out.  I also loved not wasting any of the pattern paper and seeing how to use the combination of papers for two different occasions.  

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the challenge sketch!

I have a fun Halloween card!

My first instinct for this sketch was to use pattern paper, but I wanted to challenge myself to try something different.  Therefore I pulled out the Ghosts stencil and some tape for masking.  I placed tape over the stencil at a diagonal and used distress ink.  I continued to do this using different colored inks to create the stripes.  I die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Framework die set. I place it on a larger scallop-edge layer (Frames & Flags die set) using paper from the Halloween Woofs paper pad. I changed the oval to a circle and used a die from the Circle Frames die set to create the black circle.  I used one of my favorite images from the Franken-Newton stamp set, and colored him in green, purple, and orange.  I added the Halloween sentiment on a couple of banners and then I put a little bat (Count Newton stamp set) for an extra touch!

Hugs,

I have a beautiful autumn card using these beautiful colors!

I started by distressing a turquoise background die cut using the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set. I then found the plaid paper that matched the challenge colors wonderfully.  This paper is from the Autumn paper pad. I loved the sunflower arrangement from the Fall Harvest stamp set, so I combined it with the sunflower image from the Paw-tumn Newton stamp set.  Don't they coordinate amazingly?  I then added the gold foil sentiment (Autumn Greetings Hot Foil Plates) on a little banner.  The total effect is a gorgeous autumn card!

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the summer theme with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

I have a fun birthday card for you this week. 

I used Fossilized Amber, Carved Pumpkin, and Peacock Feather Distress Oxide inks to distress my background with the Confetti stencil. I then use the scallop-edged die from the Frames & Flags die set.  I wrap the orange & white twine around it.  I adhered it to the white card base.  I then add the darling the triple scoop of ice cream cone from the Newton's Birthday Delights stamp set.  I added some Glossy Accents for added dimension.  I popped it up with dimension tape.  I used the Bright Sentiments Hot Foil Plates for the sentiment.  A few sequins were added for extra sparkle.

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use this super fun sketch!

I have a super fun card that will get you in the mood for a pumpkin-spiced latte!

Can you believe fall is just around the corner?

I really like using the papers to make the stripes for this challenge.  For this card, I used the Autumn paper pad.  I love the colors of teal, orange, and brown together.  Then there are those delicious-looking mugs of coffee with whipped cream.  I just couldn't resist cutting the paper into stripes and pairing it with some orange gingham.  Once I got all the stripes adhered to a piece of card stock, I used the postage-edged die from the  Framework die set.  I added some jute twine and to create the bow.  I added a piece of burlap paper to give the card some more texture and a country-feel before adding the latte-lovin' lady from the umpkin Latte stamp set. There is a coordinating die set for this stamp set; however, I used my Scan 'N Cut instead.  I pulled out some gold foil to create the sentiment using the newly released Autumn Greetings Hot Foil Plates.  I love how this turned out.  

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the summer theme with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

I have a beautiful card this week.

I started using the Quatrefoil stencil for my background. I think this stencil gives cards such an elegant touch.  I then added a black panel with gold trim above and below it.  I then stamped a lot of succulents from the Succulent Garden stamp set and cut using my Scan 'N Cut machine.  I colored them with my Copic markers.  I did some research, and I was surprised with the range of colors that succulents come. I arranged them in three groups and popped a few up with 3D tape.  I stamped the sentiment on a banner that was die cut using a die from the Frames & Flags die set. A couple of jewels for some bling.  I love how the black creates an elegant, dramatic touch.  

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use the summer theme with your Newton's Nook Designs' products!

I have a fun card this week.

I was searching through my NND stamps to find a set I haven't used in a while.  When I saw these stockings, I thought the sketch could easily be converted into a mantle on which to hang them. So I found some wood grained paper and anchored it with some Kraft card stock.  I then hung my trio of stockings from the Holiday Stockings stamp set and cut using dies from the Stylish Stockings die set using gold brads.  I actually used colored pencils to shade them versus markers.  The mantle wouldn't be complete without some boughs of holly, so I pulled out the Pines & Holly die set and cut a few boughs and added some red dots for holly. For my sentiment, I cut a banner using a die from the Frames & Flags die set and stamped the sentiment which is from the Newton's Christmas Kittens stamp set.

Now it's your turn! I can't wait to see how you use this super fun sketch!

I used the challenge colors for a playful summer scene complete with the little puppies from the Beach Barks stamp set. I paired them with papers from the Summertime paper pad. Using the scallop-edged oval from the Oval Frames die set, I created a little swimming pool using the blue bubbly paper, again from the Summertime paper pad. I completed the card with a summer sentiment from the Seashell Roundabout stamp set.

I have a fun card this week.

For my card, I used the Palm Tree Line stencil with distress inks.  I love the red and pink striped trunks! then I added some distressing in green and then in blue. I kept the edging "rough" for a more abstract look.  Then I added some pink and red striped paper from the Love & Chocolate paper pad. I added the sentiment from the Summer Moments stamp set on a stitched circle with a large blue circle framing. To do this, I used the Circle Frames die set.

Ready for some summer camping?  I recently sold my travel trailer and have been missing it a bit, so I decided to create a little camping scene.  I made some shadowy mountains in the background using distress ink and the (Mountains stencil. I then added the beach and water.  I used distress inks, but I decided to give it a more abstract look by not using any more stencils.  I then added the vintage station wagon.  (My hubby has fond family vacation memories in an old wagon!) This cute car is from the Beach Bound stamp set. I added a color coordinated trailer and a signature pink flamingo from the Cozy Campers stamp set.  I used my Scan 'n Cut to cut these images out.  (There are coordinating die sets available.)  The whole scene was cut using the rounded rectangular die from the Frames & Flags die set. I added the sentiment from the Newton's Summer Vacation stamp set.

Now it's your turn to use the challenge theme with your NND products!

I can't wait to see what you create!
