Hello crafty friends, TGIF!
Welcome to the Newton’s Nook Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!! If you arrived here from Kay Miller’s blog you are on the right track!

My card today features the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set and the Snow Globe Shaker die set.
To create the card, I stamped town from the Snow Globe Scenes set on watercolour paper in VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, coloured it with Hero Arts Watercolor Wheel, and then fussy cut it out. I then placed it inside the Snow Globe with some tiny snowflakes & clear sequins. For the snowy night background, I heat embossed santa sleigh from the Snow Globe Scenes set on watercolour panel with white embossing powder, and then ink blending on the panel using Chipped Sapphire, Seedless Preserves Distress inks. I added white ink splatters all over the panel. Once the background panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added shaker snow globe using foam tape.

Newton’s Nook Deck The Halls With Inky Paws

Posted on December 7, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends! I am so thrilled to be the featured guest for Newton’s Nook Designs today!

For my cards today, I am featuring an adorable Holiday Foliage stencil along with the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set.
To create the card, I cut kraft card stock to 3″ x 4.5″ using rectangle panel die. I then placed the Holiday Foliage stencil over the kraft panel, and then applied the white embossing paste using palette knife. I added the clear glitter to the embossing paste while they’re still wet.
Before mounting the main panel, I stamped small Christmas images from the Snow Globe Scenes set on top-folded card base using Memento Desert Sand dye ink. I decorated the card base with red check ribbon & jingle bells, and then mounted the kraft panel using foam tape. For the sentiment, I used the Snow Globe Scenes stamp set.

For my second card, I used the Holiday Foliage stencil in a fun way. I tried to create a no-line watercoloured card with this stencil.
I used mini round ink blending tool to colour the images with Antique Linen Distress ink first.
I then coloured each inked image with several Distress inks and water brush: Festive Berries, Mowed Lawn, Evergreen Bough, Rusty Hinge, Crushed Olive, Vintage Photo.
Ta-Da! I am very pleased with the outcome!!

Be sure to check out the Newton’s Nook Blog this week for lots of fun holiday inspiration, and I’ll be back on Friday with another Christmas project for the Blog hop!

Thank you so much for stopping by. Happy crafting!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!

SSS DieCember 2017 Release

Posted on December 1, 2017 by Yoonsun Hur

Hello crafty friends!
It’s December, the festive mood is in full swing, and we have the perfect Christmas themed dies – Simon Says Stamp DieCember® Release!!

Today I am featuring so beautiful Evergreen Circle die along with other SSS products.
It is a clean and simple Christmas shaker card. I die cut the Evergreen Circle from an A2 sized white paper panel, then adhered the acetate behind the frame using double-sided tape. For the snowy night scene behind the circle window, I ink blended the panel with Chipped Sapphire Distress ink and mini ink blending tool, and then added white ink splatters all over the panel.
I die cut snowflakes from watercolour paper using the SSS Kate Snowflake & Stitched Flakes dies, coloured them lightly with Pumice Stone Distress ink. For the sentiment, I used the SSS Big Scripty Greetings Holiday stamp set.

Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Keep smiling and be blessed! God bless you all!
