Newton’s Nook Designs January Release: It’s a Plan and Newton Makes a Plan

Hello and welcome to day one of Newton’s Nook Designs January Release!  Today we are featuring two new stamps sets, It’s a Plan and Newton Makes a Plan.

While these sets were designed for planners, I used them to create a fun shaker card.

I stamped those adorable kitties from Newton Makes a Plan with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, colored them with Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies.  Using Your Next Stamp’s So Many Squares Panel Die, I die-cut the frame for my shaker.  I used an Xacto knife and ruler to trim off two of the vertical pieces to create the long rectangular opening.

After trimming white cardstock the same size as the frame, I lightly marked where the openings would be and ink-blended with Abandoned Coral Distress Ink.  I stamped “celebrate” from Birthday Essentials and some sentiments from It’s a Plan in Versafine Smokey Gray ink.  I also stamped a few hearts from It’s a Plan with Memento Tuxedo Black and colored them with Copics.

I backed the frame with clear acetate and two layers of foam tape.  After filling four of the openings with clear seed beads, I covered the frame with my ink-blended panel.  I adhered the panel to a white card and attached the kitties to the acetate.  Onto a strip of black cardstock, I white heat-embossed another sentiment from Birthday Essentials and popped it up with foam tape.
