Christmas Wreath with Yoonsun

Happy Friday all!  We are glad to be welcoming our guest designer, Yoonsun Hur, back to the blog today, but sad that this is her last post for us this month.  It's been a pleasure and today's card will definitely make you smile!  Here's Yoonsun:

Hello crafty friends, TGIF! It’s Yoonsun here and I am back with my last card as a guest designer with Neat & Tangled this month. Time really flies!!

For my card today, I used the adorable Beary Merry & Into the Woods stamp sets. I love these cute sets so much!!




I created my own Christmas wreath using these two sets. First I placed a circle die on an A2 sized watercolour paper panel, traced a circle very lightly with a pencil. I then stamped leaves from the Into the Woods set along the circle line with black pigment ink. I coloured the stamped leaves with Mowed Lawn & Peacock Feathers Distress inks and water brush. Next, I stamped acorns, ginger bread, candy canes on a separate watercolour paper with black pigment ink, watercoloured them with Distress markers, and then fussy cut them. 

I stamped the sentiment and other cute images from the Beary Merry set under the wreath image using black pigment ink, watercoloured the images with Distress markers as well. Once the panel was dry, I mounted the panel on white care base using double-sided tape first, and then decorated the wreath with the acorns, ginger bread, candy canes using foam tape.  

Thank you so much once again for inviting me to be this month guest designer. I really hope you guys like my Christmas cards. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Merry & Bright Leaves with Yoonsun Hur

TGIF!  Today our October guest designer, Yoonsun Hur, is back with us showing us how you can stretch your fall sets to cover other occasions.  Take a look:

Hello crafty friends, Yoonsun here and I am happy to be sharing another Christmas card using the Maple Thanks stamp set and the Merry and Bright Nice and Neat die. Maple Thanks is technically an autumn set, but we can also use it for Christmas projects too. Why not?


Before stamping, I tore the top & bottom part of the watercolor panel. I then stamped maple leaves from the Maple Thanks set onto the panel using Antique Linen Distress ink, and coloured the stamped leaves with some Distress markers: (Red) Candied Apple, (Green) Crushed Olive & Lucky Clover. The background was coloured with Tumbled Glass Distress ink and a wet paint brush.

Once the panel was dry, I heat embossed the maple leaf images over each of the 4 coloured leaves in white – I didn’t do white heat embossing before coloring on purpose. I just wanted to make snow-covered leaves.

For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Merry & Bright” from kraft card stock five times, and then stacked them up using a fine tip glue pen. Finally, I mounted the background panel on a side-folded kraft card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment die cuts using foam tape.




Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

Introducing October Guest Designer - Yoonsun Hur

Happy Friday!  We are so excited to be welcoming Yoonsun Hur as our guest designer this month.  Yoonsun is an old N&T friend and we are always thrilled when she can be with us.  Here's a bit about Yoonsun:

Hello Everyone! I'm Yoonsun Hur a South Korean-born Australian and I currently live in Sydney with my gorgeous husband. I love being creative!! I really love making cards with various and awesome stuff. I have been working as a Graphic designer since 2000 and this career has helped me in many ways when designing cards. I endlessly want to make various attempts and share my creativity with you.

Today I want to share with you my fun Christmas card with so adorable Beary Merry Stamp Set and the Merry and Bright Nice and Neat Die.




I started by stamping cute polar bear and candy cane from the Beary Merry set on watercolor paper using black pigment ink. I then watercolored and fussy cut them. You can use the matching dies to cut stamped images. It is so much easier than use scissors. ;)



For the snowy night background, I ink blended on watercolor paper panel with Mermaid Lagoon, Faded Jean, Seedless Preserves, Black Soot Distress inks and mini blending tool, and then added white ink splatters all around the panel. For the sentiment, I die cut the word “Merry & Bright” from white card stock fine times, and then stacked them up using glue pen.



Once the panel was completely dry, I mounted it on white card base using double-sided tape first, and then added the sentiment die cut and the polar bear holding a candy cane on the card front using foam tape.



I had a great time with this adorable stamps & dies!

That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!

For my first card today, I made my own pattern background with the small flowers from the set. 

1)I randomly stamped flowers on the purple cardstock using VersaMark Embossing ink and clear heat embossed
2)For the sentiment panel, I stamped this beautiful handwritten sentiment with VersaMark Embossing ink, gold heat embossed. I then used distress inks - Mustard Seed, Dried Marigold, Picked Raspberry- to add colour the around the sentiment
3)I mounted the sentiment panel on the card using dimensional foam tape
4)Machine stitches and some sequins were the finishing touches

And my second card:

I love Danielle's gorgeous handwritten sentiments, like this My Favorite stamp. Seriously! And YES! my dear crafty friends, you are my most favourite :D

Like the first card, I made my own pattern background with the small flowers from DalaHorse stamp set. 

1)I stamped the small flowers on the watercolour panel using grey pigment ink here and there. Once dry, I coloured the centre of the stamped panel with Peerless watercolours
2)For the sentiment, I stamped it with VersaMark Embossing ink, heat embossed with Liquid Platinum Embossing Powder and then fussy cut it
3)I mounted the stamped panel on the lime green cardstock first and then affixed the sentiment in the middle of the stamped panel using dimensional foam tape

April Guest Designer: Yoonsun Hur!

Hello friends! Today I am here to introduce you to our April guest designer, Yoonsun Hur.  I first spotted Yoonsun over on Instagram, where I saw her sharing photos of her cards using Neat and Tangled. I was so blown away! And wait till you see her cards for today!!

_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _

Hello crafty friends, TGIF! I am guest designing with Neat and Tangled this month. I am SO excited and happy to be a part of the amazing team!! I love Danielle's bold design and there are oh-so-talented designers here!

Today I want to show you my 2 cards with March released Dala Horse Stamp Set. Oh my... I am so in love with the set that Miriam designed. Seriously, it is really beautiful stamp set!! 

To create the card:
1) I stamped horse and other images on the watercolour panel using Distress Ink Antique Linen for no-line watercolouring
2) I coloured them with Distress markers -Dala horse: Festive Berries, Barn Door, Pumice Stone, Salty Ocean, Peacock Feathers, Mustard Seed, Chipped Sapphire, Aged Mahogany / blossoms: Worn Lipstick, Squeezed Lemonade, Seedless Preserves, Mowed Lawn, Brushed Corduroy, Broken China, Evergreen Bough / background: Pumice Stone
3)For the sentiments, I stamped it on the black cardstock using VersaMark Embossing ink, white heat embossed and adhered it over the watercoloured panel using dimensional foam tape
4)To finish it off, I added the clear sequins here and there. 

My second card with the set: 

For this card, I used matching die with the stamp set. The size of the Dala Horse die is a perfect as a focal point in card.

To create the card:
1) I drew the pencil line on the watercolour paper a bit bigger than actual size of the largest Dala horse die and then blended with Distress ink Peacock Feathers, Stormy Sky using mini blending tool. 2) Once completely dry, I randomly stamped mini blossoms using VersaMark Embossing ink and white heat embossed.
3) I spritzed a bit of fresh water on the stamped image for getting watercolour stains, dry it using heat tool and then die cut the Dala horse from the stamped paper. 
4) For the background panel, I stamped mini blossoms on the white cardstock with grey pigment ink here and there and watercoloured in the middle of the stamped panel with Distress ink Mustard Seed using paint brush. 
5) Using vellum paper, I covered whole area of the stamped background and machine stitched on the top, mounted it to the yellow cardstock. 
6) To finish it off, I positioned the Dala horse, sentiment banner on the custom background panel, adhered them in place using dimensional foam tape, added mixed clear sequins.

I had a great time with this beautiful stamp & die set!

That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful weekend!!
