ABNH Week Continues: Love You

Hi friends,

Katie here to share a card I made in honor of Neat and Tangled and A Blog Named Hero's collaboration week.

Some of my very favorite sets by the talented folks at Hero Arts are their background sets.  For my collaboration card, I paired Hero Art's Zig Zag background stamp with a few of my favorites from Neat and Tangled.

On Aquamarine cardstock, I stamped Hero Arts Zig Zag background with Hero Arts Ink in Tide Pool. The tag from Swirly Twirly Tags was stamped in Butter Bar on White cardstock.  The heart from Just Thinking of You was stamped in Pale Tomato ink and the sentiment from My Heart Sings was stamped in Soft Granite.

I trimmed out the tag and mounted it to the card with a bit of foam adhesive.  A clip and some yellow and white twine added the finishing touches.

I hope you have enjoyed all the Neat and Tangled-Hero Arts creations that we have shared so far this week!   I think these stamps work together wonderfully! Don't forget to check in with A Blog Named Hero for even more inspiration!

Thanks for stopping by!

ABNH Week - You Are My Light Card

Hello everyone! Nina here to share a card using both Hero Arts and Neat and Tangled products for our collaboration week with A Blog Named Hero!

I was thrilled to see Danielle come up with this cool Sunburst stamp. I immediately wanted to pair it with the Starburst Background stamp by Hero Arts. 

Inspired by Pamela's card here, I cut the starburst (red) out and mounted it to card with some foam adhesive. I used the Lemon Sequins from Neat and Tangled store to emphasize the dimension.

Don't forget to check out A Blog Named Hero for more inspiration! Happy crafting!

ABNH Collaboration Cards

Hi Jean here to share two cards for this week's collaboration between A Blog Named Hero and Neat + Tangled.

There were absolutely dozens of card ideas floating around in my head, as the stamps from these two companies work so well together.

For my first card, I stamped and heat embossed the birds from My Heart Sings and colored them with distress inks - Salty Ocean and Squeezed Lemonade. I stamped the sentiment from Fancy Basics and added a few gemstones.

I took a decidedly more casual approach for my second card. That's the great thing about these companies - they're stylistically versatile!

I repeatedly stamped one of the On the Border stamps with Archival Ink in Aquamarine. I created a panel onto which I stamped the stars from Sparkle and Shine along with a sentiment from Year Round Sentiments.

A Blog Named Hero + Neat and Tangled!

Hello friends!

I am so excited to announce that Neat and Tangled will be doing a week long collaboration with our friends over at  A Blog Named Hero starting TODAY! Yay!  Now be sure to head over to ABNH each day this week to see all of the amazing projects they have for you!

So, warning, I made a card for today and it's Christmas. You probably want to punch me, but I'm sort of in Christmas mode here at Neat and Tangled getting ready for future releases so that's where I went with this card :)

I paired up the dotted strip from Neat and Tangled's On the Strip 2 with Hero Arts' Miracle of the Holidays, to finish it off I added a nice old chunky button and some sparkly twine! This was pretty simple and could be easily mass produced for the holidays!

There will be projects here and at ABNH each day this week showcasing Neat and Tangled and Hero Arts -  they just pair up so nicely! There is a giveaway over on the ABNH blog so be sure to head over!

See you tomorrow!

Kindness is good for the soul

Hello!

Katie Gehring here to share a card I created using A Lot to Say and Kindness Matters.
 
I stamped A Lot to Say's word bubble on white cardstock and trimmed inside the stamped line.  Next, I stamped the sentiment from Kindness Matters and adhered the bubble to a panel of cardstock.  I stamped A Lot to Say's word bubble again in coordinating ink directly onto the panel, offset a bit from where I adhered the trimmed speech bubble.

I stamped the Circle Heart and Be Kind from Kindness Matters onto white cardstock and punched them out using 5/8" and 7/8" circle punches.  A few random sequins add a finishing touch.

I love finding ways to get different looks from my stamps and this offset frame was super simple to do! Well, that's all for me today.  I hope you have a great weekend!

Thanks for stopping by!

Seize the Birthday Sponsor + Card

Hello friends, Danielle here!

I am happy to announce that Neat and Tangled is sponsoring the next challenge over at Seize the Birthday! If you aren't familiar with this challenge blog it's really neat! It's aim is to help you get birthday cards done for both him and her!

Here is the current challenge sketch, this week it's for "her"

And here is my take at the sketch

 I am pretty bad with sketches, so I went for a pretty literal interpretation :) I die cut the stars and then stamped them with Sunburst, and used the sentiment from Sketchy Cupcakes. I also chose a nice feminine color combo of yellow, teal and pink.

I do hope you'll join in the challenge - a Neat and Tangled stamp set of choice is up for grabs!
