Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge #44


Hello crafty friends! The next Newton's Nook Inky Paws Challenge is now live! The challenge is a color challenge. When I see a color challenge I'm always tempted to pull out my solid stamps. It's so easy to add large pops of color. Here I used the Party Pops stamp set to make a card that will hopefully usher us into some warm summer weather ahead. Head on over to the Inky Paws challenge blog for full details and to hear about how you can win.

Ocean Critter Series Day 3: Create a Smile and Alcohol Inks

Image
Hello crafty friends! Today is the third day in a week long series at  my YouTube channel  where I will be sharing cards and projects featuring ocean critters. I will also be having a small giveaway for those who leave comments on my videos. I will be using a variety of different ocean critters including today's octopus from Create a Smile Stamps . I am combining him with their fabulous dies . For my background I'm using Ranger Alcohol Inks on Bazzil vellum . I have a full description of the project in my video tutorial below. This card is also for the Create a Smile monthly challenge . This month the theme is Blue. This is perfect for summer and my critter series.

The inspiration for this card was the new Pop Out die . I thought it would be fun to hide a shaker behind this interactive card element. I really wanted to use some of the new Halloween stuff as well. So I decided to create a Halloween shaker card that would be a bit simple looking at first and open to a fun surprise.

Coffee and Snowflake Card with Newton's Nook Designs

Hello crafty friends! Today I have a card for Newton's Nook Designs and the Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop . Today's card started with a clear plan and then went really off track for a bit but turned out in a way I love. In the video I talk a little about that struggle we all go through as cardmakers sometimes when things just aren't turning out the way we'd like. Check out the video for some more details. I also wanted to let you know this is my last official post as part of the Newton's Nook Design Team. I have enjoyed my time with Newton's Nook tremendously and I'm lucky to be able to continue working with them in a new capacity next year. I will be involved with the new Inky Paws challenge blog.
