Gilding Flakes with Oak Leaf and Landscape Duo Stencil


Hello everyone,  It's Bibi Cameron here and I'm glad to share a new post with you today with a couple of ideas to create easy paper-craft projects using Oak Leaf stamp set and Oak Leaf die and Landscape Duo Simply Stencil.

 I had so many ideas when I got the Landscape Duo Simply Stencil in my hands. I was a bit intrigued too and I wanted to try several things with them. 

I was experimenting a little bit and I understood that you can use these stencils to create amazing colorful geometrical backgrounds just by overlapping them in different ways and adding different inks, mousses, spray  paints or you can even heat emboss a nice background by using the stencil with clear Versamark Ink and embossing powders... Perhaps you could also go further and have some fun building seasonal scenes with mountains and a sky, or try to mix and match the stencils with Landscape Textures stamp set. The Sky's the limit!

So when I was experimenting with the Landscape Duo Stencil all my attention went into using the stencils to create metallic paper using Gilding Flakes and I had a terrific time doing this...  it is so relaxing! I hope you don't mind I invite my toddler  Emma to join me and she also applied the flakes but she insisted she wanted to use the Ballon Duo Stencil instead so that's what we did in the video here!


I made a couple of tags/ toppers to embellish a treat bag,  a present, a box and I also made a card using the same design elements.

Below a few pictures of the quick and easy  projects in the video



That's all.

I hope you enjoy the projects, the video and to be able to inspire you to give this technique a try!

Happy Crafting

Hugs from Michelle Short


It's the last Friday of the month, which unfortunately means we're saying goodbye to Michelle Short, this month's guest designer.  We have so enjoyed having her here and we know you have too.  She created the sweetest card for us today:

Hello there, Michelle here and I am back with my last card as a guest designer with Neat & Tangled this month. My card today uses the super cute Better Together Stamp set and coordinating Nice & Neat Dies.

I stamped the girl holding the owl and the bear using black ink. The images were then coloured using Copic Markers. I die cut them using the Better Together Nice and Neat Dies and then set them aside.



I die-cut a stitched square from white cardstock and then die-cut a circle inside. I took a piece of patterned paper and stamped the hugs sentiment on to it using black ink. This piece was added to a white square card base and then the frame piece added on top with foam tape. The girl and bear were then added to the card with foam tape. To finish off, I added a glitter pen to the girl’s bow and then a little jewel to the centre of it.

A big thank you goes to Miriam and Danielle for having me guest with them this month. I have loved it! I hope you have a great day!

Oak Leaf Card Opposites | Nancy Damiano


Crisp air, pumpkin spice everything and cozy sweaters - it's that time of the year! What better way to celebrate the season than to create a handful of Fall cards with a token of gratitude. Let's take a closer look at the Oak Leaf stamp and steel die set and how we can create traditional and nontraditional greetings with the same set.
This is our traditionally colored Fall card. The background was created with a wash of Fired Brick, Spiced Marmalade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide inks. The steel Oak Leaf die was used to cut an intricate white leaf for the center of the card. A vellum banner grounds the sentiment and a sprinkle of sequins adds movement to the card. I wrapped some twine around the card a few times to lend to the fall feel.

This is the complete opposite of our traditional card. The bold colors are eclectic, bold and fun. Two intricate leaves were cut in hot pink and white and layered in the center of the card. To fill in the white leaf, bits of cardstock were used to back the design and give it a stained glass look. The design is very similar to the traditional card with the sprinkle of sequins and banner sentiment, yet it has such a different feel.



And there you have it - two totally different looks with the same Oak Leaf stamp set. Color can make all the difference in the world!

Distress Oxide Scene with Kelly Latevola

Hello Crafters! 

How's your Autumn going? 
Mine's been 90 degrees everyday and I live in Ohio. 
It's like an Autumn miracle and I love it! 

I'm sucking in every bit of sunshine I can get before the snow starts flying around here. 
Since it's been so beautiful here I was inspired to see what I could do to create a fall inspired card. 


I combined an older set and some of our brand new products to create this bright fall card. 
I love the foxes for Christmas but I thought maybe they'd like to cuddly in the sunshine. I mean, who doesn't like to lay in the sunshine right?!


The background scenery was created with Distress Oxides and our new Landscapes Duo Stencils make it super easy to build up that hilly background. 

You can see the entire card come to life in the video below. 


I really love how those Distress Oxides create such a soft background. The colors really melt right into each other! Speaking of colors, how cool is it to be able to achieve different looks by just changing up one or two colors? 
That trick has saved  card more times than I can count haha



Those sky colors still have me swooning. You'll probably be seeing that combination a lot more from me! 

Thanks so much for stopping by!
