Newton’s Nook - A Christmas Hello

Newton’s Nook has a great sketch challenge out this week. And I have enjoyed playing along to create some fun cards. This card is my take on the sketch to create this Christmas Hello. I really need to get working on my Christmas cards if I am to have enough for this season which will soon be upon us. 


I’m never sure about those mischievous little kittens in this stamp set. But this little guy makes for a great card I think. 

I will be entering this in the following challenge. 






Newton’s Nook - A Bushel of Thanks

Such a fun card to create. And I have to say the most fun was having my daughter help me in the designing. That orange pumpkin behind the kitten in the pot was all her idea. I have to say I really like how her creative mind works. 


Card creating is such a fun past time and I love that I can now share this craft with my talented daughter. She has such an eye for colour and placement. What a fun evening of creating. 


I will enter this card in the Newton’s Nook current challenge. 

Lawn Fawn Stitched Leaf Card

Today’s card looks just like it did the day I made it. It was a beautiful fall day with the darker blue sky filled with clouds. And all the amazing colours of leaves everywhere. 


Doing the stitching with the embroidery hoop die is definitely a new favourite of mine. And how cute are those little mice! 
I will be joining the fun weekly challenge for the Lawn Fawnatics. 


Newton’s Nook - Happy Fall Y’all

I have been enjoying spending time in my craft room again. This time I pulled out my Newton’ Nook stamps and started creating some items for the current NN challenge. This weeks challenge is a sketch to follow. 
This Happy Fall Y’all card was the product of my time in my craft room. 


Colouring the cute bucket and pairing it with the floral topper was so much fun. I then matched my pen colours to some paper for the stripes. 
I am really happy with how this all turned out. 

I will be playing along with the challenge.

Lawn Fawn Happy Fall

This is a fun little card that I created to play along with the weekly Lawn Fawnatics challenge. 
My new favourite from Lawn Fawn are the embroidery hoop die and all the fantastic stitching guides. 


This cute leaf took me just half an hour to stitch up while I was watching some tv. I love embroidery and now I can incorporate it into card making and scraping.

Hibiscus Hello Card

I love making 1 card but then actually creating 2 with the leftover and negative pieces. I posted the other card I created with similar pieces a few days back. 



The hibiscus stamp and stencil set was our new set that my mom and I played with while enjoying our time at the cabin with all the kids this summer. And of course now with the girls teenagers who are also crafters they enjoy joining us at the table in the evening to Stamp and ink blend with those amazing Pink fresh stencil sets. 
By the end of the summer we have lots of stamped inked and die cut creations ready to use on upcoming cards and layouts. 

I will be entering this in the monthly challenge at Pink Fresh Studio.

Lots of Layers Layout

This layout has lots of layers including a hidden journal tag. This is my creation for the September Pink Fresh Studio monthly challenge. 


Using vellum, metallic paper, ink stenciled designs, sentiment pieces,  and embossing all work together to create this piece. Oh and of course lots of foam tape because … you know - dimension! 


Of course I had to include hot foil pieces - I do love those little butterflies! 





And if I haven’t said it yet here it comes - I just love Pink Fresh Studio ink stencil sets. I love playing with the many different color combos. 

What a great time I had putting this page together for the challenge.

Sunshine card

Today I am sharing a sunflower card. Sometimes I like to have cards with no sentiment on the outside so I can use them for any occasion. 
This card uses the amazing sunflower washi tape from Pink Fresh Studio. 


This card is layered with Pink Fresh Studio products. Including the washi tape, foil butterflies,  and the die cut gold leaf stem. All this layered goodness is over top of the diamond background die cut which was cut from the blue paper that was used with the cover plate. 
I am very happy with how this all turned out.
