Snow Fun with Mindy Eggen!

Welcome everyone! Mindy Eggen here with you today and I have some inspiration to share using the Snow Fun stamp set from Neat & Tangled. This is small 3" x 4" stamp set with lots of images to create a scene for your holiday card making.

I started by creating a mask using a standard circle die and Masking Magic. I adhered my mask to a piece of Neenah Solar White card stock measuring 4 1/4" x 5 1/2" and ink blended Shaded Lilac, Peacock Feathers and Twisted Citron Distress Oxides. I used Life Changing Blender Brushes for a soft blend.

Once my ink was dry, I stamped the snowflakes in embossing ink using a small acrylic block. Then sprinkled on Silver Embossing Powder and heat set.

My images are stamped in copic friendly ink and colored with copic markers. You can fussy cut or use the coordinating die to cut out the images.

I lined up my images temporarily and stamped the sentiment at the bottom using Black Ink. I made sure to move my images before stamping so I don't risk getting ink on them.

After I stamped the sentiment, I attached my images with liquid glue.

I love changing up colors to more of a non-traditional scene. I think it adds a little bit of interest to the card.

Hope you enjoyed today's inspiration!

Snow One Like You with Keeway

Hey there! It's Keeway and I'm thrilled to be here to send over some winter inspirations for your holiday cardmaking and the Stay Cool set is just perfect to help us out today!
I started by stamping a few images from the stamp set in dark brown hybrid ink and colored them with copic markers. Then I die cut the images out with the coordinating dies. I added the fish to the end of the fish line and used a thin copic multiliner to connect it to the fish's mouth.

To frame this little scene, I die cut a circle out of an A2 sized white card stock, offset to the right side. I used the snowflake image from the Stay Cool stamp set and Snow Fun stamp set to create a stamped pattern background.

For the background I laid behind the frame, I ink blended Peacock Feathers, Cracked Pistachio, and Tumbled Glass distress oxide inks. I also die cut a snow drift and blended the edge with Tumbled Glass distress oxide ink. I stamped the image of the hole onto this piece and colored it with copic markers.

I stamped the sentiment from the Snow Fun stamp set in Versamark ink onto kraft card stock, and heat embossed it in white. I used the fishtail banner die in the Triangle box to partial die cut the shape around the sentiment. I added this banner, the eskimo, and the penguin to the card with foam squares to finish it up!

Thanks for joining me today, and see you next month!

8 easy projects with Neat and Tangled November release by Bibi

Hello from Scotland! Is Bibi Cameron here and today I have eight quick and easy Christmas projects to share with you using almost all the products from Neat and Tangled November 2018 release.

Watch the video to see how I made them...

So the first  you will see in the video is how easy peasy is to use  the Penguin Treat Holder 

Depending on how you glue the little arms of the penguin you can fit on them different treats ... even a small tool to send to a crafty friend. 

I'm also crazy about Craft Perfect mirror cardstock. It is great for everything: for die cutting, embossing, heat embossing and to apply alcohol ink blending techniques as well.

You can find Craft Perfect glossy mirror cardstock and satin mirror cardstock on the market and both provide an awesome look and feel to your projects... This paper is perfect for the season.

So I added heat embossed banners on mirror cardstock, I also die cut a whole panel out of satin mirror cardstock and I used mirror cardstock for the Triangle Box below.

I also embossed the mirror cardstock and also standard cardstock using Fa La La Stencil and an embossing mat as an extra decorative element. 

I also did easy ink blending backgrounds to build small scenes on the cards below.

Using Memento black ink, I stamped images from three of four stamp sets in the Neat and Tangled November release and I added colours with Copics.

Distress Oxide inks used for the background: Tumbled Glass,  Blueprint Sketch, seedless preserves

Distress inks used: Fossilised Ambar,  Worn Lipstick and Spiced Marmalade.

Distress Oxide Inks used on the background: Salty Ocean and Lucky Clover.

Distress Oxide inks used for the background: Tumbled Glass,  Blueprint Sketch, seedless preserves.

That's all for today.

Happy crafting

Stay cool! with Elena.

Hi there!

Elena here, with a card that features a set from our newest release, Stay Cool.

I started out by coloring the images that I wanted to feature: the little kid on the polar bear, and the ice-fishing kid. I colored their parkas and mittens in a neutral light brown (using copic markers E30, E31, and E33.)

I added warmth to the polar bear using light grey markers (W3, W1 and W00,) but I was very light-handed with the coloring. I left most of his body uncolored and just gave shadows where I thought they would be.

The ice-fisher found a present instead of a fish, and I also added a tiny snowman from Snow Fun as an extra cold-weather friend. I die-cut the COOL sentiment and colored it using a light blue marker (B0000.)

For the background, I used a piece of Altenew's Nebula washi tape, and also grounded the image using a piece of their Golden Edge washi tape. I added some white enamel snow dots to the night-sky background to finish things off.

I hope you like it! Thanks for stopping by!

♥.
