Hello winter (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome back to day 3 of Neat and Tangled's October release week. Today, we're showing off a set designed by Danielle, called Hello Winter.

I couldn't help but pair the sentiment set with a few cute critters.

My first card features our new yeti on a calm winter day:

hello winter! (Neat and Tangled release week)


Since most of the card was kept white, I gave the yeti (from Get Yeti) some color. I used copic markers W00, W1, and W3 to color his fur.

I inlaid a peaceful nature scene in the distance: snow capped mountains and the little log cabin (also from Get Yeti.)

The sentiment from Hello Winter is my fave. I personally hate blizzards, but there is something so beautiful about a white, sunny winter day.

My next card uses the bigger sentiment block from the set:

hello winter! (Neat and Tangled release week)


I stamped it 3 times in a row, and trimmed out the strip. The fox (from Schoolhouse) holding the Santa mug (from Beary Merry) is as cozy as all of the winter words.

I softened the edges of the white strip by sponging on some soft brown ink and popped it up over a woodgrained card base.

I hope you like them! Visit the NT blog this morning to see more - CLICK!

  2. Both of your cards are beautiful. I love the aging look that you gave the first card, it came out great! For the second card the fox just pops right out, I like how you used an older stamp as well. Beautifully done

  5. Both of your cards are so cute! The Yeti looks great with the main sentiments from this set! I also love how you used the words describing winter for the background of your second card. I recognized the fox from the Schoolhouse set and the Santa mug from Beary Merry immediately! It's always great to see how "old" sets we already own can be put together with newer ones to create fabulous cards! Thank you!
