*NEW* August 2018 Neat & Tangled is HERE!
Hi friends! Happy Friday! Thanks for stopping by our blog today! Please give a huge welcome to special guest Cheiron Brandon showcasing the brand new and beautiful Neat & Tangled product release for August 2018! Read on and enjoy!
Hi there crafty friends! This is Cheiron from the Neat and Tangled Design Team, and I am thrilled to show you some projects that I have made using stamps and dies from the August release. This month is also Neat and Tangled’s 6thBirthday and there is a whole lot of fun going on! The August release is full of fun stamps, dies and a new sequin mix that will help you celebrate any occasion.
The first four products work perfectly together. First up there is the Thanks So Much Stamp set which would be perfect to create a card on its own, but can also be used with the Gift Card Box die (which is perfectly sized to hold a gift card or other tiny treasures), the Gift Card Box die additions, and the Build A Tag dies.
I’ve created a little set using them all, incorporating some of the alcohol ink panels that I had on my desk. There is a clean and simple card using the Thanks So Much Stamp Set and the Gift Card Box die additions. I’ve also made a gift card box with the Gift Card Box die, the Gift Card Box Die Additions and the Thanks So Much set. For the final part of this set, I’ve created a cute tag from the Build A Tag Dies and the Thanks so Much set. As you can see with these four items, there is so much creative possibility. I’ve added some of the Party Mix Sequins to give them all a festive touch.
If you love coloring and florals you will love the Floral Frame and the Floral Frame dies! I loved working with these and the stamps are perfect alone as a one layer card, but certainly, are brought to life with some die cutting and dimension.
For my card, I colored and cut the frame out and added foam tape to the floral part of the frame. I also colored and cut several of the single flower images and layered them on top of the image I had already colored to give more floral dimension. All of this was adhered to a black cardstock panel, then onto a card base where I had added a black and white striped border to make it pop.
I hope you have enjoyed this little peek at the newest release from Neat and Tangled. I’d love to hear which is your favorite!

Back to School Featuring Clearly Besotted!
Hello everyone, it’s Nina-Marie here with you today! With August already in full swing, this week’s tutorial seemed like the perfect time to break out the adorable, new Clearly Besotted stamp set, That’s Genius! Have you seen the cute critters in this set? I love their oversized glasses! While this set could be used in so many ways, I’ll be pairing it with the Clearly Besotted Bookworm stamps and creating a “back to school” card!
In the video below, I will show you how I watercolored these images and added extra details with simple brush strokes and techniques. Along with the images from the That’s Genius and Bookworm stamp sets, I also paired these critters up with some of our newest Simon exclusive sets! The fun, die cut background is from our popular, new Diamond Pattern background die; this die is perfect for adding great texture! Additionally, I used a couple of sentiments from our also-new, School Bus Messages set.
Tune in to the video to see all these pieces come together and create an adorable back to school card! These are perfect for giving to kids as a bit of encouragement on their first day of the 2018 school year! I hope you enjoyed today’s tutorial… I will be back again on Monday with more inspiration for you!
