Neat & Tangled Recap

August 16, 2019August 16, 2019Leave a comment

Welcome everyone! Did you enjoy the inspiration all week featuring Neat & Tangled? I hope so! It’s a small but powerful release! Today I’m just recapping what I shared this week and ok…. I created one more card for you

Here’s a look at all the cards from the week. So many ways to use these sets and I STILL have more ideas!

For more information on each card you can visit the previous posts: Day 1 Inspiration, Day 2 Inspiration, Day 3 Inspiration, and Day 4 Inspiration.

Another item I had for the Grateful Heart stamp set was emboss resist. I stamped the image onto Bristol Smooth card stock with embossing ink. Then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I ink blended Fruit Punch and Strawberry Milkshake ink from Taylored Expressions using blending brushes. Since this is a dye-based ink, it does stain the white embossing powder a little but I think it adds some softness to the image.

Next I die cut the shape out of a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock and added foam tape and Acetate to create a window. I originally planned on making it a shaker card but didn’t have enough room, so I just left it as a window card.

I finished off with my sentiment heat embossed in white on Pitch Black card stock and a few of the gold enamel dots.

Thanks so much for joining us this week! Be sure to grab your August release!

CARD DETAILS

My card today may stand out at you but it’s really quite simple to create. I’m starting out with a piece of Cherry Red card stock from Gina K Designs. Using a comfort block, I randomly stamp my floral image from the Grateful Heart stamp set in Embossing Ink to create my own background. Then I heat emboss with Gold Embossing Powder.

Using blender brushes from Taylored Expressions, I ink blend Cherry Red Ink onto my card base. I start heavy around the edges and lighten up as I get towards the middle. I actually do not ink blend in the middle of the card. I wanted to leave a highlight area.

To really deepen the edges, I ink blend a little Chocolate Truffle. Check out that contrast!

To finish off the card, I heat embossed the sentiment from the Dream Big stamp in gold onto Pitch Black card stock. I also added a couple of the black enamel dots, also from this release.

Neat & Tangled Release Day 3 + GIVEAWAY

August 14, 2019August 14, 201918 Comments

Welcome back to Day 3 of inspiration for the Neat & Tangled release! I have another project to share using the gorgeous Grateful Heart stamp set. I really can’t get enough of this beauty!

GIVEAWAY

Be sure to head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to find out how to enter the giveaway for the entire release & a $25 gift certificate for the store.

CARD DETAILS

I’m going to start by creating my background. Using an acrylic block and Soft Stone ink, I’m going to randomly stamp the image onto Neenah Solar white card stock.

For my centerpiece, I randomly stamped the image again from Grateful Heart using Obsidian Ink from Gina K Designs. Then I colored with copic markers. I used RV09, RV14, R13, RV21, and RV11 for the flowers and YG17, YG25, and YG21 for the leaves.

After coloring the images, I used the Lovely Blossoms die to die cut out the shape. I think this adds such a unique touch to the card. I added foam behind my die cut piece and added to the card front.

To finish off the card, I stamped the sentiment in embossing ink onto Black card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. Then trimmed the sentiment down to a thin strip.

Neat & Tangled Release Day 2 + GIVEAWAY

August 13, 2019August 12, 201920 Comments

Welcome back everyone! I’m continuing to share inspiration from the Neat & Tangled release that became available for purchase on Monday. If you haven’t checked it out yet – head on over!

GIVEAWAY

You have a chance to win the entire release! Be sure to head over the Neat & Tangled blog for all the details.

CARD DETAILS

Now not that I’m dreaming of Christmas or snow but the new Delicate Dot background stamp makes the most perfect snow! I stamped the background in clear embossing ink onto a piece of Powder Blue card stock. Then heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I added a touch of ink blending around the edges using the Powder Blue ink from Gina K Designs with a Life Changing Blender Brush.

How adorable is this llama? It’s not new but it sure is cute! I stamped it in copic friendly ink and colored with copic markers. Then used the coordinating die to cut it out and add to my snowy background with foam squares. I hope you have the Fa La La stamp set in your stash because as I was gathering my links for my list below, I could not find it available anyway. Sorry about that!

This sentiment is also on the Fa La La stamp set. I just heat embossed it in white embossing powder onto Blue Denim card stock and trimmed into strips to add to my card front.

VIDEO DETAILS

I have a release video + card that you can view down below or HERE on my Youtube channel. I will show you each of the new products and make a card from start to finish.

I used all of the new products on my card today. I’m going to start it off by coloring my images from the NEW Grateful Heart stamp set, using my copic markers. I stamped the images in Obsidian Amalgam Ink from Gina K Designs onto Neenah Solar White card stock. The copic colors I used are RV69, RV66, & RV63.

Once colored, I used the coordinating die to die cut the images.

For my background, I’m stamping the NEW Delicate Dots stamp set onto White card stock using the Obsidian Amalgam Ink. This background will work so well with so many other images as well.

The sentiment is also from the Grateful Heart stamp set. I stamped it in clear ink onto Black card stock and heat embossed with white embossing powder.

I arranged my images onto my background and glued the flowers in the background to the card front with Lawn Fawn liquid glue. To add dimension to my card, I attached the large flower image with Gina K Designs foam squares.

My sentiment is also popped up with foam squares and I finished off the card by adding some of the NEW enamel dots. I don’t show them in the pictures above but I did add them to the card I recreated in the video.
