2022 Fall/ Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

Hello and welcome!

Today I’m playing along with Fall/Winter Coffee Lovers Blog Hop featuring a couple of amazing stamps and dies from Newton’s Nook Designs.

There are going to be TONS of fun prizes – including a $25 store credit from Newton’s Nook Designs! You can head over to the Coffee Lovers Blog for more details on how to play along! 

Key Ingredients:

• Newton’s Mug Stamp Set
• Newton’s Mug Die Set
• Newton’s Candy Cane Stamp Set
• Newton’s Candy Cane Die Set
• Newton’s Christmas Kittens Stamp Set
• Newton’s Christmas Kitties Die Set
• Snowfall Stencil

Step By Step Instructions:

• Die cut from Strathmore Bristol paper all the elements you need using the coordinating Newton’s Mug Die Set, Newton’s Candy Cane Die Set and Newton’s Christmas Kitties Die Set. I used on this project and Sizzix Big Shot Die Cutting machine. Save the negative parts of the dies.
• Stamp the outline illustration from Newton’s Mug Stamp Set,  Newton’s Candy Cane Stamp Set and Newton’s Christmas Kittens Stamp Set with  VersaFine Onyx Black pigment ink, using the negative parts of the dies for a perfect alignment inside the stamping positioning tool.
• Color the stamps with water based markers. I used on this card ZIG CLEAN COLOUR REAL BRUSH MARKERS: 
  • 025 Pink
  • 027 Dark Pink
  • 028 Pale Pink
  • 201 Pink Haze
  • 202 Peach Pink
  • 050 Yellow
  • 052 Bright Yellow
  • 055 Pale Yellow
  • 060 Brown
  • 061 Light Brown
  • 070 Orange
  • 072 Beige
  • 091 Cool Gray 2
• Trim and score an extended A2 size card base (5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″) from Neenah Solar White paper.
• Trim a 4 1/2″ x 3 1/4″ rectangle from a Bristol paper since it’s a bit smoother than Neenah Solar White.
• Ink it with Distress Oxide inks, using the blending brushes to achieve a soft and smooth transition between the colors:
  • Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide;
  • Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide;
  • Dried Marigold Distress Oxide ink;
  • Tattered Rose Distress Oxide ink.
• Secure Snowfall Stencil on the inked background and spread a white dimensional paste all across with a palette knife. Let the embossing paste air dry.
• Arrange and glue in place all the elements on the card base, by popping some on a foam tape for a fun dimensional look.
• Finish with a couple of clear sparkling sequins adhered with Distress Collage Medium Matte.

Hope you enjoyed this cute coffee thanks card today! Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous day!
