1 stamp - 2 ways! IPC #256

Hi friends!

We are half way through September ~ can you believe it!

It feels like we are time warping through this year!

Today I am sharing another card for

the Newton's Nook Designs IPC Design Team

with a FUN inspiration photo for the month of September.

Create however it inspires you -

from the fall vibes to the darling black cat, the color palette, etc.

You can see a funny spoof here!

For this week, I made a spooky cornfield!

I did a self challenge to take a spring-ish stamp set and turned it

into an autumn one & am smitten with how this turned out!

Here's what I did:

I started with a card base using the Frames & Flags die set

and added it to the card base - made with a corner rounder, trimmer cut

cardstock. Using the Cloud Stencil, I did a light ombre cloud

blend and colored, die cut and popped up the Spring Heights cats.

For added drama, I used fall colors and added flowers from Aloha

Newton and the pumpkins from Pumpkin Tails .

The sentiment is also from that set and die cut with Basic Frames.

Finally, I added the bats from Just Batty to complete the spooky

cornfield harvest look!

Toe beans in the sand! IPC #252

Hi friends!

We're back from vacay!

We had SO MUCH FUN +

it's hard to come back to reality after a week of bliss! :)

Speaking of serene beaches and blissful days,

here's Newton with the May IPC sketch for week 3.

You still have time to play along!

And here's the sketch!

I took a little creative liberty with this sketch ~

remember you can flip them,

make them horizontal, etc!

I took the middle broad ban and dropped it to the bottom

using the Sea Borders die set and the Seaside Paper 6 x 6 pad.

Instead of the larger vertical rectangle, I used the

Circle Frames die set and created a rising sun!

Finally, Newton is the final square and the banner is the row of shells.

I made this for my beautiful daughter

who made our amazing trip happen!

We have memories that will live on forever <3

Inky Paws Challenge - Week 4!

Happy Monday!

It's week 4 of the Newton's Nook Designs

Inky Paws Challenge.

Here is the color inspiration photo:

Earlier this month, I created a card using small scraps

of cardstock and these are the continued leftovers!

I really love trying to find a use for the pieces

instead of throwing them away

so this was a definitely a creative process.

I glued the strips together onto white cardstock

and then stamped Dainty Daisies clear stamp

onto the cardstock with white ink.

I die cut it out using the coordinating die

including a second 'branch' which I tucked behind.

I popped it up on a vellum circle die cut and classic back and white card,

die cut with the Basic Frames die set.

I got back from a trip and ended up sick

(nothing like a souvenier!)

so I added a quick sentiment to turn this into a Get Well Card.

The sentiment stamp is from Naughty Newton.

Here is the card the extra strips were from 🠋
