We've Moved Cards with MFT & Newton's Nook

I've been meaning to post this one for some time, but moving is a lot of work!  Moving almost 5,000 miles over sea and land with 3 pets was almost unsurmountable.  But we made it!

I made a few cards right before I packed away all of my craft supplies so that I could share my new address with parents and grandparents.

Here are the cards I made:

Stamp set used:  "Happy Hummingbirds" by My Favorite Things.

Copics used:
B24, B26, B28
G14, G07, G17
Y02, Y15

Outlined with EK Success pen and added Wink of Stella for shimmer

Stamp set used: "Newton Loves Boxes" by Newtons Nook

C0, C1, C5, C7, T3, T5, E57, Y28, R20

Thank You Card with Newton's Nook - 2018

I needed a thank you card for my boss so I pulled out my my brand new Altenew watercolors to give them a whirl.

First I die cut a panel of watercolor paper with a Kat Scrappiness Wonky Wavy Stitched Rectangle,  Then I stamped and heat embossed the palm tree from Newton's Nook "Paradise Palms" and the Mahalo sentiment from MFT's "Polynesian Paradise".  I did a wet on wet technique to add some background color then let it dry overnight.

Valentine's Day Card with Avery Elle - 2018

When I saw this stamp set "Lava You" by Avery Elle, I knew that I needed to make a card with it.  This is a Valentine's Day card I made for my husband which was perfect since we live in the shadow of an active volcano.

Supplies used:

Stamps: "Lava You" by Avery Elle; "Paradise Palms" by Newton's Nook

Dies: Zig Zag Rectangle by Lawn Fawn; Inside & Out Stitched Squares by MFT

Christmas Card with Newton's Nook - 2017

I only made one Christmas card in 2017.  It didn't turn out quite what I had in mind, but I was happy enough to send it out.

This is the "Whispering Pines" stamp set by Newton's Nook.  I don't remember what I ink I used to stamp the trees, but a spritz of water was involved.  The faint snow drifts were created with the MFT "Drifts & Hills" stencil and Tumbled Glass Distress Ink.

Birthday Card with Newton's Nook

Aloha friends and thanks for visiting!

Today I am sharing a CAS (Clean And Simple) birthday card that I made using "Holding Happiness" by Newton's Nook.

Here are the steps I used to create this card:

• Stamped the girl with the balloons on Catherine Pooler Smooth White Cardstock with Gina K Amalgam Ink.
• Die cut using the corresponding die.
• Colored with Copic markers
• Added details with a white gel pen and some Wink of Stella
• Adhered her to the card base with Lawn Fawn glue
• Stamped the sentiment from the same set using Versafine

It was a little difficult leaving so much white space, but I love the end result!

Here are the Copic colors I used:

I am entering this card into a couple of fun challenges:

Thank you for stopping by!

Sympathy Card with Avery Elle - 2017

I used the Avery Elle "Floral Bouquet" to create this sympathy card.

This is a one layer card where I embossed the image in white embossing powder and the colored it up with my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers.  One complete it felt like it needed a little something extra.  So I used a small butterfly from Newton's Nook "Beautiful Wings and popped it on the card with a foam dot.
