Happy Tuesday everyone!
It’s day 2 of the theme week. Kristina here with a non traditional masculine card.
SUPPLIES:
Brush Stroke Stripes Clear Stamp Set
Happy Clear Stamp Set
Vintage Sheer Fusion
Clear Round Drops – Mix
Frosted Hearts
I’ve decided to create a gentle backdrop of a Brush Strokes Striped ombre. First I arranged all the stamps from the set on white paper (and penciled them on Misti). In turn, the ink applied to the stamps from light to dark, first mint colors, then pink. Ink mixed with each other and a smooth transition of color. Then I stamped sentiment Happy with VersaMark ink and made hot embossing with gold powder.
Trimmed the panel and using the foam tape adhered it to the cardbase. To finish the card I’ve added Vintage Sheer Fusion and Clear Round Drops – Mix and Frosted Hearts.
I used an non traditional color combination for the masculine card. I tried to make it subdued and not overwhelming.
Thank You all for stopping by!

Welcome to the Summer Fun Collaboration Blog hop with Newton’s Nook Designs and Studio Katia!
Both teams are celebrating the start of summer with fun and colorful cards using stamps from Newton’s Nook Designs and dies and embellishments from Studio Katia. There’s prizes too! Both companies have a prize to give away too so make sure you read all the way to the bottom of this post to see how to win!
Hello and Welcome to your last stop!
Erica here and for my card for this collaboration is quite simple as I wanted to keep the focus on the cute little critters from Newton’s Nook. I just adore that sweet little racoon holding a little heart, he’s so sweet! This set is called Sweetheart Tails and you can find it here.
I started out by cutting an A2 panel out of Copic friendly card stock, using the dotted rectangle die from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames creative die set. Then I stamped the little cuties with Memento Black Tuxedo ink using my Mini MISTI. These days I am unable to stamp anything at all without using my MISTI, it really has changed the way I craft and some people have said they balk at the price of one but I can not recommend it enough. It really is a complete game-changer!
Right, back to the card!
I coloured the images using my Copics and also added a few hearts between the cute little couple. I knew I wanted to use the sweet sentiments ‘You stole my heart’ and ‘You are foxy’, I thought I’d stamp them on the Stitched Duo Speech Bubble and place that above the couple, kinda like they are talking to each other. So corny I know, but I’m a real corny kind of gal, I can’t lie. Also, I didn’t want to make a card that was too flat so I also cut the speech bubble out of fun foam to pop it up and create dimension without making the card too fussy. Something I’m also guilty of doing from time to time…
I couldn’t resist adding a few little finishes to the card but I really, really, REALLY tried keeping is simple and not go overboard. A couple of Hearts embellishments and a little bit of glossy accents on the heart images were all the things I added. Anyone else surprised?? My husband actually said he likes this new minimalist things I’m trying, which is always inspiring! I mean, if a man (who hasn’t got much interest in anything creative) can appreciate it, it must be half ok, right?
Erica!
Katia here, I adore Newton so much! He’s such a cool cat!
For today’s card I had to create a shaker.
I’ve stamped newton on a watercolour paper and coloured it with Tombow markers.
To create a window I used the new creative dies, Dotted Ovals and Dotted Patterns Set 1. I used a handmade stencil to create the clouds and filled shaker with Sparkling Crystals, Light Blue Metallic Fusion, Crystal Clear Fusion, Crystal Clear Flowers and Iridescent Flowers Confetti.
Thank You, I hope you’ve enjoyed the hop! Have a happy weekend!

Hello Everyone!
Liliuska here and today I’d like to share with you a quick and simple watercolour resist card I made using beautiful Ranunculus Clear Stamp Set. I can’t tell you enough how beautiful and stunning this stamp set is!
I made a short video for you on this quick card. I also included another idea on how you can stamp it in colour to also have a quick card. Hope you enjoy the video.
SUPPLIES:
You’re So Ranunculus | Clear Stamp Set
You’re So Ranunculus | Coordinating Die Set
Have a wonderful day!

I used a total of eight images from that set, along with their coordinating dies. I used fun foam to pop up the candles and balloon since it was the easiest way to layer small areas. I stamped all of the images with black pigment ink and heat embossed with clear embossing powder, then used distress inks to colour everything. I used the Clear Round Drops Mix on the balloons.
My second card features the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set, Mini Thank You dies and Dotted Patterns Set 1 dies. I stamped the flowers with watermark ink and heat embossed with gold tinsel embossing powder. Then I watercoloured the image with distress inks.
After the panel dried, I dry embossed the largest frame using Dotted Patterns Set 1. You can see the details in the close-up photo below.
To create the sentiment, I watercoloured a die cut from Mini Thank You and layered it, first, with black cardstock and fun foam.
Aside from the tans and browns I used for the bear and cake, I used the same bright colours on both cards. The ranunculus card is busier and more saturated with colour and shine, while the birthday card is clear and simple in comparison. I love using the same colours on two very different cards to show versatility.
I hope you enjoyed today’s projects. Please visit my blog for a full supply list. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Hi crafty friends,
Svitlana is here today sharing a simple card made using newly released supplies.
SUPPLIES:
Brush Stroke Stripes Stamp Set
I used new Brush Stroke Stripes Stamp Set. I stamped the background onto a white panel using Distress Oxide inks.
And then sprayed it with water. I blotted water with a paper towel and let my panel to dry before stamping a sentiment in black using happy word from Happy Stamp Set.
The panel then was adhered onto a white card base. I white embossed the rest of the sentiment onto stripes of black cardstock and foam mounted them onto the panel.
Lastly I added several frosted hearts. I like their matte finish. I think they really match oxides especially.
Have a wonderful day!

Hello and welcome to our May Release Design Team Blog Hop. This release includes 5 new clear stamp sets, 2 new stand along die sets and introducing new coordinating die sets. Yay!
Erica here and for today’s card I decided to use the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set and the Matching die (you can also buy these in a stamp and die bundle) No surprise about using the flower stamp I’m guessing, considering what a flower lover I am.
