Newton's Nook Challenge: "Sanding" You a sunny smile Kitten on the Beach Slimline Card

Newton's Nook Challenge: "Sanding" You a sunny smile Kitten on the Beach Slimline Card

Hello everyone! The merry month of May is almost over, spring is almost gone and summer is almost here! We hope you enjoy the last of spring and have a wonderful summer!

Let the crafting continue....we had a super fun week and weekend of crafting! I finally got some cards done for Newton's Nook Inky Paws monthly challenge! It is my first time joining and I am so excited.  This month is was a sketch challenge and I loved it. I wanted to do more but alas, I ran out of time so I just did the 4 cards! I could spend all day every day crafting but that pesky thing called work gets in the way! haha! Well I hope you enjoy this card!

Here is one of the cards:

I loved coloring and creating with this adorable kitten stamp set! It is already getting hot in Idaho, tomorrow is going to be over 90 degrees! Bring on the water and A/C! For this card I really wanted to do a slimline card and I loved how it turned out! 

Products I used to create this card:

  • Newton's Nook Kitten Beach stamp and coordinating die set
  • Newton's Nook Springtime Designer 6x6 paper pad
  • Altenew Cool Summer Night Enamel Dots
  • Lawn Fawn Glitter Cardstock in Spring
  • Stitched circle dies
  • Simon Says Stamp Black ink pad
  • Tim Holtz Distress Mermaid Lagoon ink cube
  • Various colored cardstock from personal crafting stash
  • Various colored fine line markers and colored pencils
  • Purple spongy acetate found in personal crafting stash (I thought it added a fun beach/ocean themed type texture) 

Here are some more photos to show some close-up details of the card and the products I used to create this card:

Happy crafting to you all! We hope you feel inspired to create something and try something new!
