Thankful for Glitter

suzanne dahlberg, Thank You, thankful turkey 9.24.2013

Hi everyone! It's Suzanne here today with another glitter card - I hope you don't mind! This time I used a fall color scheme in American Crafts glitter tape, and the sentiment from Thankful Turkey. I cut the tape into the shape of a very long parallelogram, making the flat bottom edge run parallel to the top of the sentiment and dotted line...LOVE how this turned out. You get a lot of bang for your buck using some glitter and a great sentiment...can't wait to pop this one in the mail!

Have a great day!

Dreaming in glitter

dreams, suzanne dahlberg 8.27.2013

Hi!!! It's Suzanne here with a fun card that I made using a variety of glitter ribbon and Dreams - I chose some fun colors and glued them onto some cardstock before cutting the top edge with a die. I then stamped the sentiment in Versafine and added the panel of stripes to the front.

The effect of the glitter in real life is SO fun!

Thanks for stopping by!

Smile!

Hi everyone!

It's Suzanne here today with a fun card that I made using the smiley face from Kindness Matters. It was stamped on some oatmeal cardstock in dark orange ink and punched out using a circle punch. I thought it paired really well with this diecut sentiment panel and paper from American Crafts (I won't lie...the diecutting here sorta makes me wish I had a Cameo to make these myself!). I diecut the edge of the mint layer using a hills die since the shape reminded me of a smile.

Hugs!
Suzanne

Party Day with Neat and Tangled

crate paper, sketchy cupcakes, suzanne dahlberg 4.28.2013

Hey there! It's Suzanne here today with a fun scrappy card that I made using a sentiment from Sketchy Cupcakes along with Crate Paper's Party Day collection.

One of my favorite things to do with my sentiment stamps is reconfigure them to fit the space that I am stamping in. This stamp is actually designed with the words "Happy" and "Birthday" on separate lines, but you can see how I selectively inked the image to fit the words on this word window from the Party Day ephemera pack. I just love Danielle's handwritten font!

Thanks for stopping by! Have an awesome day,
Suzanne

Hey Sweets!

Just Thinking of You, On the Strip 2, sketchy cupcakes, suzanne dahlberg 3.25.2013

Hi everyone! It's Suzanne here today with a card that was inspired by Day 5 of the Online Card Classes' Pattern Play series. Last week there was a great video about how to use large patterns in 12x12 paper for cardmaking by cutting out parts of the pattern to make embellishments. That's what I did on my card today using the Full Bloom paper from Little Yellow Bicycle's Just Because collection:

I was also inspired by the awesome color combination in this pattern, so I used Hero Arts wet cement ink to stamp the dotted washi from On the Strip 2 along the bottom of the card, then adding the handcut flowers on top of it. Next, I stamped the bubbles from Just Thinking of You in Versamark, later adding the sentiment from Sketchy Cupcakes in Hero Arts navy ink:

I added some tiny pearls and crochet thread to embellish the card at the end. Have you tried this technique yet? I am one of the laziest crafters around and have to admit that cutting these flowers was pretty fast and easy!

Thanks for stopping by today,
Suzanne

Teeny Tiny Treat Bags Full of Love

kindness matters, suzanne dahlberg 1.22.2013

Hi everyone, it's Suzanne here today with a super cute and easy project for Valentine's Day: teeny tiny treat bags, using the heart stamp in Kindness Matters and the mini shopping bag die from Memory Box.

I thought these would be really cute to tuck into the kids' lunch boxes or to make for all kiddos in the class - you could put those little Sweetheart candies inside each one or just fill them up with a few chocolates instead. These are small enough that you don't have to worry about ruining anyone's appetite.

I stamped the heart image onto white cardstock in a variety of A Muse Studio ink colors, and used a circle die from Spellbinders to cut out the image. These were adhered to the bags, which were diecut from A Muse pebble cardstock - I chose this paper because at 80lbs. weight it's not so thick that it's impossible to fold and adhere the bags. The finishing touch was some tissue paper, which was diecut using a scalloped oval Spellbinders die.

Do you make lots of stuff like this for Valentine's Day?

Thanks for stopping by!

xoxo,
Suzanne

January 2013 Release Day 5: A Lot to Say

A Lot to Say, amy kolling, amy tsuruta, january 2013 release, laurie willison, mary dawn quirindongo, nina yang, pamela ho, suzanne dahlberg 1.11.2013

Well, here we are, day 5 of release week! I'm so sad it's over already! *sniffle, sniffe* *wipes tears from eyes* Sheesh, seems like it was just Monday! Thank you so much for all of your lovely comments and excitement, it truly is contagious!

While I'm sad that release week is wrapping up, I am excited because all 5 sets are available for purchase in the Neat & Tangled shop! Now I get to see you work your magic! AND I still have one stamp you haven't "officially"seen yet!

It's called A Lot to Say, and it's A LOT of fun :) Who doesn't love a big old speech bubble?

You can obviously fill it with words, but also images, scenes, use it as a background...the sky is the limit! I love how Suzanne covered up the bottom part so it just looks like a rounded card, and Pamela amazed me with how she did some fancy stampin' to make it a different size! OH, do you Project Life? Because guess what? It fits perfectly on a 3x4 insert :) I could go on and on, but instead I will leave you with even more amazing projects to wrap up this week!

January Release Week Day 3: On the Strip!

amy tsuruta, chari moss, january 2013 release, katie gehring, laurie willison, nina yang, On the Strip, suzanne dahlberg 1.09.2013

I'm back again today with another fun 4x6 set. This one is called On the Strip and it's one of those everyday essential sets. You could use this in a million and one different ways! The stamps measure just over 5 1/2" so they are perfectly designed for your standard card base, no need to worry about getting full coverage!
