Neat & Tangled November Release, Day 3

Hello, hello!

It’s the third day of the Neat & Tangled November release, and we are showcasing another fabulous stamp set!

Day 3 is for the Stay Cool stamp set – here’s my card:

I knew I wanted a textured background for the cute little character from the set to sit against and found one from my stash of inky background panels – I had used the Parquet stencil to swipe through some embossing paste onto a panel of white cardstock and added a bit of colour for interest before trimming it down to slightly smaller than my card base and adhering it straight down.

I then stamped the little character onto another piece of white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink and coloured her in with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush pens. I used the co-ordinating die to die-cut her out along with the little fish from the set.

I freehand drew a snow hill onto another piece of white cardstock and cut it out. I used Tumbled Glass Distress Ink to add a bit of colour along the top of the hill and then stamped a couple of sentiments from the set. I coloured in the ‘COOL’ again with my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens before foam mounting to the card front.

I then foam mounted the little girl and fish to the card front to finish off!

Hello there!

I’m over at the Neat & Tangled blog today to sharing a card using a stencil, a die and a stamp set!

I began by creating a colourful background using the Cubic stencil and some ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I simple laid the stencil down onto a piece of white cardstock, coloured through the stencil and onto the card with the brush pens, and then liberally spritzed with water!

Too much water can result in a muddy mess, but not enough water means the colours don’t blend – either way, add the amount of water you feel most comfortable with! I removed the stencil and the heat set the panel quickly before trimming it down to the size of my card base.

I adhered the panel straight down to my card based and moved onto the sentiment. I die-cut the diamond shape using the diamond shaped die from Gift Card Box Die Additions and then stamped a sentiment from the Thanks So Much set. I brushed some gold ink all the way around the edges of the die-cut piece before foam mounting to the card front.

To finish, I embellished with a mixture of sequins.

Thanks for stopping by!

Neat & Tangled October Release, Day 1: Nativity Play

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the start of October release week for Neat & Tangled!

Day 1 is for a couple of cute stamp and die sets, that will be great for creating Christmas nativity scenes – Nativity Play and Angel Wings. Here’s my card:

I began by stamping the various characters from Nativity Play onto a panel of white cardstock, with Versafine Onyx Black ink, and then roughly adding colour with my ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens.

I filled in any gaps with some of the smaller stamps from the set and added a few gold watercolour ink splats for interest. I trimmed to panel down to slightly smaller than my card base and mounted it to the card front.

To finish, I added some copper stickles.

Hello!

Hello there!

I’m over at the Neat & Tangled blog today to sharing a card using the Thanks So Much and Floral Frame stamp sets!

This card was so simple to create, and used one stamp from each set. I took the outline diamond shape from Thanks So Much and stamped it repeatedly with Versamark ink onto a panel of white cardstock. I sprinkled with white embossing powder and heat set.

I then took one of the smaller images from the set and stamped in the corners of the diamond shapes, again with Versamark ink and heat set in white.

I grabbed my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Pens and scribbled roughly with rainbow colours inside each of the embossed areas. I then spritzed the panel with water and watched the colours beautifully bleed into one another, and again heat set.

I trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than my card base and foam mounted to the card front. I stamped a sentiment from the Floral Frame set onto a strip of black card stock, heat embossed in white, trimmed down and foam mounted to the card front.

To finish, I adhered some gold sequins.

Life!

Hello there!

I’m over at the Neat & Tangled blog today to sharing a card using the  Life’s a Game stamp set and co-ordinating dies!

 

There’s so many ways you could go with this set, but I wanted to go clean and simple! So I die-cut the main sentiment ‘LIFE’ out of some white cardstock and set all the pieces aside. I took the die-cut panel and stamped the supporting sentiment and tiny gaming images with Versafine Onyx Black ink.

I then took another panel of white cardstock and swiped some colour using the ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens, starting with a pink and finishing with a blue. I used a bit of water to blend the colours together and then adhered the panel to my cardbase.

I then simply foam mounted the die-cut piece onto the card base, allowing the colour gradient to peek through the aperture.

I also foam mounted the letters back into place onto the card base, and finished by adding various sequins.

Neat & Tangled June Release, Day 1: So Fly

Hello everyone!

Welcome to the start of June release week for Neat & Tangled!

Day 1 is for the cutest stamp set – So Fly – here’s my card:

I began by creating a really loose watercolour sky on a piece of white cardstock, flicking a few gold paint splats and heat setting before trimming it down and foam mounting to a card base.

I then stamped the cute image of the giraffe and elephant onto another piece of white cardstock with Versafine Onyx Black ink, and coloured them in with ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I stamped the little dotted line on the left hand side of my sky panel to suggest where the aeroplane would have travelled and then foam mounted the die-cut piece to the card front.

I stamped a sentiment from the set onto a strip of black cardstock with Versamark, sprinkling with white embossing powder and heat setting.

I tucked the sentiment in behind the critters and foam mounted in place.

Neat & Tangled May Release, Day 2: Paint Night

Hello again!

Time to showcase some more goodies from the Neat & Tangled May Release!

Day 2 is for the Paint stamp set – there are some really cute images for colouring and some charming sentiments to go with them. Here’s my card:

I began by creating the colourful background, which uses a new stencil from the May release. I simple spritzed some water onto a watercolour panel, laid the stencil down on top and dropped various shades of Brusho powder. I added another quick spritz of water so that the colour would travel and then heat set the panel.

I trimmed the panel down to slightly smaller than my card base and then foam mounted it to the card front.

I stamped one of the images from the set with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto a piece of white cardstock and coloured it in using ZIG Clean Color Real Brush Pens. I fussy-cut the image out and foam mounted it to the card front.

To finish off, I added some sequins from various Neat and Tangled mixes.
