Final Farewell to Summer Collab- 4 Summer Cards August 9

My friend Teresa and I had so much fun with our last collab that we decided to do another one! For the month of August we are going to have a Final Farewell to Summer Collab each Wednesday! 

For my cards today I decided to use 4 summer digis from Krista Smith, 1 set of dies-MFT A2 Stitched Rectangle STAX set 1, the MFT Sand, Surf & Sky 6x6 paper pad and the MFT Itty Bitty Summer stamp set to create my cards.

I had so much fun coloring up these images!! I truly do love Krista Smith digis!! I'm so happy she has a shop now where anyone can buy her digis but the perks are great if you become a member of her Patreon! 

The cards are all very simple but they just let those images shine!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll come on over and watch my video each week and also head to Teresa's channel to see her video each week!

I thought it would be fun to use the Bokeh Stencil Set to create my background. I did the first layer in the challenge colors and then the second layer I added some stickles gel. What a pretty effect!

I stamped and colored up the Beach Barks stamp set and then cut the fun dogs out with the coordinating dies. I used the Frameworks dies to create a little frame for the dogs.

I used the Circle Frames dies to cut out a circle for the sentiment that I heat embossed in white. 

I finished off the card by adhering it all down and finishing off the inside. I almost forgot but then remembered to add glossy accents to the glasses, such a fun touch! and I added some glitter dots!

More Inspiration for Inky Paws Challenge #202- Summer Lovin'

I'm stopping by today with some more inspiration for the Inky Paws Challenge #202-Summer Lovin'! The challenge runs until July 21, 2023 at midnight CST! Lots of time for you to link up your Newton's Nook Summer Lovin' creations on the Inky Paws Challenge Blog for a chance to win $20 store credit at the Newton's Nook Shop!

To start my project I started by finding a sketch. I decided to check out the Inky Paws Challenge Blog as there are so many wonderful sketches there and decided to use the very first sketch they ever posted!! Check out the original post HERE!

Next I picked out my papers from the Summertime 6x6 Paper Pad. I pulled out some dies- Circle Frames Dies, Frames & Flags and Framework Dies- to cut out all the elements of the sketch.

I stamped my cute kitten from the Kitten Beach stamp set, colored it with copics and then die cut it out with the matching dies.

To finish the card I stamped the sentiment and assembled the card like the sketch. I have a video up sharing this card! You can see it HERE!

Grab your Newton's Nook crafty goodies and play along with the Inky Paws Challenge with us! Have an awesome day!

Inky Paws Challenge #202- Summer Lovin'

The new Inky Paws Challenge starts today, July 10, 2023 and goes through July 21, 2023 at midnight CST! Lots of time for you to link up your Newton's Nook Summer Lovin' creations on the Inky Paws Challenge Blog for a chance to win $20 store credit at the Newton's Nook Shop! Check out the Challenge Rules before you create your project!

I never thought of myself as a gardener but I am enjoying creating a flower garden and also a little hill with different flowers so when I think of summer, I think of pretty flowers with bees and butterflies. The Newton's Flower Garden stamp set and matching dies were perfect for my vision of flowers with some butterflies!

I stamped out my images, colored them with copics and then die cut them out using the matching dies. Once I had my images ready I started building the card using the Springtime 6x6 Paper Pad, Circle Frames Dies and Land Borders Dies. 

After I had my little scene built in the larger circle I stamped the sentiment and cut it out with a smaller circle. I really like the different sizes in the Circle Frames Die set!

I finished the card by stamping a few single flowers and die cut them out and using them as little accents!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you'll join us with your Summer Lovin' Newton's Nook creations at the Inky Paws Challenge! I have a video sharing this card! See it HERE!

I went with the summer theme and used the "What's the Scoop stamp set"! That crab in the floatie is just so fun!! I stamped my images, colored them with copics and then fussy cut them out. I thought a mini slimline would be a great card size for these images so I found some patterned paper and created my little floatie scene! To finish things off I added some glossy accents to the floaties to make them shine!! I do have a video sharing this card! You can see it HERE!(after 8:00 am CST)

Beach/Ocean/Summer ATC Swap

I was SO late with this swap due to the curveballs in May but I'm happy I finished these fun Beach/Ocean/Summer ATC cards!!

I also have to say I felt super trendy as this is the first time I "splattered" white paint onto my ATCs! LOL!! I do need a different paintbrush though.

I think the little octopi from the Kraftin' Kimmie Oceans of Love stamp set are just so cute! I created the background with the She Sells Seashells stencil from Kraftin' Kimmie and some distress oxide inks and Avery Elle Clear Shimmer Spray.

I hope my partners like these even though they are super duper late! 

Have a super day!
