Daddy and me (Neat and Tangled)

Hi there!

I'm here and on the Neat and Tangled blog this morning, with a card featuring our new Mommy Daddy and Me stamp set:

I used the image with the big bear and cub. I think it's sweet, how the cub's face is smushed in there a bit.

I started out by sponging a sky background for the bears to sit in front on, and gave them a ground to lay on using our Stitched Slopes die.

Once the bears were colored and cut out, I placed them onto their background and adhered everything to a cream-colored card base. I stamped the greeting directly onto the cream base and added a tiny heart to finish things off.



I like the simplicity of this card, especially to gift to dad. If it was for mom, I would probably add more, but this seemed like just enough for a "guy card."

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

Happiness (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

We're onto day 3 of this month's Neat and Tangled release week. Today, we're showing off a new set designed by Danielle, called Happiness. I paired it with the elephant and butterfly images from Mommy Daddy and Me to create this sweet card:

I illustrated the elephants to be looking at something together - the butterflies, the bubbles, the stars - you can create a fun scene with this two!

Happiness comes with a die that cuts out the word - you can use the oval with the letters cut out, or you could just use the letters, which is what I opted to do. I didn't want the bulk of the big oval die-cut on my card.



I love the butterflies fluttering all around the main sentiment!

There's more to see on the NT blog this morning - click! And don't forget to leave a comment before you go! At the end of the week, a winner is chosen from among all of the design team blog comments for a $25 gift certificate to the NT store.

mommy daddy and me (Neat and Tangled release week)

Hi there!

Welcome to day 2 of this month's Neat and Tangled release week. My first set of the month is being introduced today, and I am so excited for you to see it! Mommy Daddy And Me is a sweet collection of animals and their babies, and lends itself to creating Mother's and Father's day cards.

I decided to create a baby card for now, to show you a little something different:

I used the image of the baby mouse in his walnut bed, being tucked in under a canopy of leaves. I doubled up the branch image so they could be layered and wrapped around the focal image.



I placed the images onto a circle die-cut and layered that onto a sheet of baby blue gingham paper. I love that by just changing up the color of the baby mouse's blanket and the background paper, you could have a baby girl card instead.

The acorn mobile adds a sweet touch, hanging overhead, and the sentiment is from Itty Bitty Welcoming Committee.

I hope you like what you see so far! The rest of the images are on display on the Neat and Tangled blog this morning - click!

And don't forget to leave a comment on every post this week - there's a $25 gift card to the NT store up for grabs, which is picked randomly from all design team posts this week.
