Sweet Treats Blog Hop with Newton’s Nook Designs

Hello and welcome to Newton’s Nook Designs 5th Annual Sweet Treats Blog Hop!  The Newton’s Nook Designs Team is hopping along today to share some great Sweet Treats – just in time for Valentine’s Day!  Make sure you scroll down to the bottom of this post to see the whole list and hop along and comment for a chance to win.

For my project I decided to use those adorable owls from Love Owl-ways to create a tag for a Valentine treat jar.  After stamping them with Memento Tuxedo Black ink, I colored them with Copics and cut them out with the coordinating dies.

For the main tag, I die-cut the Fancy Edges Tag Die twice – once from Bristol Smooth paper and another from white cardstock.  I inked up the Bristol one with Abandoned Coral and Festive Berries distress ink, laid down the Tumbling Hearts Stencil, and blended on more Festive Berries.  After flicking on some water and blotting it dry, I added the white topper also die-cut with the Fancy Edges Tag Die.  Once everything was good and dry, I white heat-embossed that fun sentiment from Love Owl-ways and popped up the owls with foam tape.  I adhered the plain white tag to the back (I’m a messy inker, and it helps hide that fact!).

I die-cut two more tags from kraft paper and embossed them with a wood-grain folder.  After layering the two kraft tags together, I adhered them behind the ink-blended one at an angle.  I filled a jar with some red hots (I love how they play off that fun sentiment!) and added my tag with some trim from my stash.  I couldn’t leave the lid plain, so I die-cut a circle from some heart paper and adhered it before sealing the jar.

    Actually, I had to comment again, because I really love how you did the background on that tag – I’m just learning and am very interested in the different techniques used by artists like yourself to achieve these great backgrounds. I’m pinning this one to my “Techniques” board, I really love it!
