Gold foiled cards with Sveta

Hello dear friends!

Sveta is here and I prepared for you two cards with gold foil. It's a new technique to me and I wanted to share with you the results of my first experience.

To get this effect you will need to have embossing ink, bond embossing powder, foil and iron/laminator. As this technique gives a little bit distressed look I went with solid stamp of a cloud from the Creepy Cute Shadows and Sentiments stamp set for the card with the girl and stripes made with washi tape masking.

The first idea that came to me after creating the striped background was a nautical themed card, so I chose the Sailmates stamp set for this one. I often like to keep my projects to two or three colors, so in addition to my white-gold background, I added only navy blue and red.

For my second card I went with a classic black & gold combination, and I love how it turned out! I left my girl from the Life is Beautiful stamp set black & white, coloring her with black and grey watercolor brush pens.  The hello sentiment is from the Everyday labels stamp set.

 Hope you enjoyed today's cards of mine and will be inspired to try it!

Trick or treat!

Hello there!

Mayuri here to share a halloween themed card today - I used some images from the Creepy Cute and Creep Cute Shadows and Sentiments sets to create this shaker card ;-)

I began by sponging some Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed Distress Inks on to a card base and then sprinkling with water to create some interest. I set this aside to dry while I worked on the shaker element.

I then die-cut a circle from some black cardstock, which was slightly smaller than the card base. I adhered a piece of clear packaging from some stamp sets over the aperture and then lined the edges of the circle with some foam tape. This creates the space to hold the Spooktacular sequins.

I dropped the sequins on to the Distress Inked area of the card base before foam mounting the black panel. The sequins are sealed between the aperture and the card base, and the foam tape stops them from falling out.

The bat was heat embossed in white on some black cardstock and fussy cut out. The sentiment was stamped on some orange patterned paper - I also stamped the banner image around the sentiment, and trimmed that out too. These were then foam mounted to the card.

Finally, I sprinkled a few more sequins from the Spooktacular mix on to the card front ;-)

Thanks for stopping by!

Happy Halloween Card plus video

Hi everyone! This is Yana and today I'd like to share I fun Halloween Card using the newest Creepy Cute and Creepy Cute Shadow and Sentiments stamp sets along with a few black and white sequins from the Spooktacular Halloween Sequin Mix.

I think these are the coolest Halloween stamps ever simply because there are outline and identical solid images. I've used the outline and the solid images to quickly color my bats and my spiders in grey.

I did a bunch of simple masking for this card and I'm also sharing a video showing you how I keep track of the order in which I need to stamp my images with the help of a little mask trick. 

You can watch my video here or on Neat & Tangled Youtube channel:

Release After Party Day 3!

Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday!

Sometimes circumstances are such that we have to change something in our schedule. Three of our designers living outside of the United States received their September release sets too late to join in with the normal Release fun. But fear not! We didn't want you to miss out on what they would have created, so we have decided to arrange a Release After Party!

Today is the last 'After Party', and taking you into the night and partying with you in style is Taheerah! I've five cards to share with you, each created using the *awesome* stamps from the September release!


My first card features the fantastic Be Full set. With that fantastic font and layout I just had to go with a chalkboard look and create a card full of Autumnal colours!

 I stamped the sentiment with white pigment ink first then overstamped with orange dye ink to create an orange chalk effect!

My second card uses the Turkey Talk set. I used a scrap piece of paper that I'd used to mop up ink and spills before as it had the most awesome blend of colours and shimmer!

I stamped my turkey right over the top, and mounted him over a panel of patterned paper stamped repeatedly with the 'Gobble Gobble' sentiment - and of course I had to use the speech bubble, stamped on cork to say that sentiment 'straight from the turkey's beak'!

Moving on, my third card features the wonderful My Plate Is Full set!

I stamped the heart repeatedly to create my own patterned paper, overstamping some of the hearts with various mists to add some shimmer and a secondary colour! I combined several of the sentiments in this set to create a custom greeting!

Next up - a combo of Creepy Cute and Creepy Cute Shadows And Sentiments! I loved stamping those adorable bats onto patterned paper and pairing them up with other patterned papers for the sentiment strips and background!

I love the extra little detail of the washi tape underneath each of the sentiments!

And finally, to wrap things up, my final card features the beyond-awesome Origami Map set.

I swiped inkpads and sprayed with mists for my panel, and loved stretching my stamps by using one of the arrow stamps to create a banner for the aeroplane to fly my sentiment!

Well, that officially wraps up the Release After Party! I hope you've had a great time seeing all the amazing cards the DT girls have come up with, and we'll be back before you know it with another release! *wink* Thanks so much for stopping by!

Release After Party Day 2

Hello crafty friends,

Christine here!
It's my pleasure to  bring you more inspiration using the October release stamps. Just like Anna told you  yesterday the international girls celebrate a fabulous release-after-party with you.

I have five cards to share with you today:

I instantly fell in love with Origami Map! It screams for watercolor, but I wanted to challenge my self not to use a emboss-resist technique! So this map ist mostly grey and twi countries/sport are colored in aqua. One got a pin-needle, the other one a heart. Mapping can be so much fun!

 Living in Germany we don't really celebrate thanksgiving or Halloween, so I don't have a lot of  pumpkins in my stamp collection. This one is pretty cool with it's super bold lines. It's from the Be Full set.

The next card is VERY graphic. I used the plate from My plate is full to draw attention to the sentiment and used forks, knifes and spoons in light colors to have a nice background.

As I said - thanksgiving isn't popular over here ;) So I used the turkey for a Good luck/Hello card using some washi with sentiments and just let the turkey from Turkey Talk gobble ;) Isn't he cute?

 Next up maybe my favorite card. I used the skull from Creepy Cute (a set beyond cuteness!!!) with some spiders and Creepy Cute Shadows and Sentiments. There is a bow in that set, but I created another bow made of bones. (Maybe that's hard to see). I just puffy heart love the bad to the bone sentiment!

Another card that's more cute than creepy is this one: a CAS one layer card using the bat from Creepy Cute.

Hope you enjoyed this little inspiration-parade. If you haven't ordered your stamps so far - you should - they're adorable!

Thanks for stopping by and taking the time to check this post!

Release After Party Day 1

Hello, dear friends! Sometimes circumstances are such that we have to change something in our schedule, but we tried to make it so that you get even more satisfaction of meetings with our stamps! Three of our designer living outside of the United States received their October releases sets too late. And in honor of this we have decided to arrange for you Release After Party!

Today with you Anna, and I'll show you five of my cards made ​​using the brand new stamps. And the first of them - this is a cute card with clouds, which I did, using sets of Creepy cute and Creepy cute shadows and sentiments. I stamped clouds with blue watercolor and than added a clouds silhouettes with black inks, and one cloud has eyes and a smile. So cute! And color splashes and clear sequins and accents.

The second card is made of Be Full set. I love, how stamps lay in the package, so I decided to use this "sketch" (phrase as a center element, pumpkin on the bottom and leaves on the sides). I stamped, colored and cut elements, made white embossing on an orange cardstock. Simple and elegant!

And next card is my favorite of all! I'm absolutely in love with this Origami Map set! Absolutely fabulous idea! I made white embossing of map and colored it with the watercolors, so relax!

It's a long time I have an idea to make something crazy with stamps, for example.. to curve a stamp! I cut a strip of black cardstock with two circle dies, than curved a sentiment stamp as with the same radius as a cardstock has and made an embossing. Looks great!

Turkey Talk is small but too cute set :) But I decided to create something different. I stamped a strip of sentiments with different colors and added some accents.

And the last card for today is this one with using of My plate is full set. I made this one layered card:

I hope, you had a great time today! We will wait you next two days too! Don't miss a lot of inspiration from our designers.
