Brand NEW Neat & Tangled Inspiration!
Hi friends! TGIF! Are you ready for some sweet inspiration using brand new Neat and Tangled stamps and dies?! We are delighted to share this assortment of inspiration using NEW designs from Neat and Tangled by the amazing Cheiron Brandon! Read on enjoy!
Hi there crafty friends! This is Cheiron from Neat and Tangled and I am thrilled to show you some projects that I have made using stamps and dies from the April Release. There are new 4 stamp and die sets, 1 new cover plate die, 1 new stencil and a brand new sequin mix that are releasing today.
My first project uses the Have Courage stamp and die set. There are beautiful images in this set that can be stamped and layered and wonderful sentiments to send to anyone who could use a bit of courage. For my card, I stamped the gingko leaves in a pattern and loosely colored them in with Mission Gold watercolors. Once they were dry, I added a wash of Daniel Smith Sodalite Genuine watercolor to create my background along with some black, white and gold splatter. To complete the card, I stamped and embossed the I believe In You sentiment in white using Hero Arts White Embossing Powder.
The Making Magic set is just too cute. For this card, I’ve paired the magician and his lovely assistant together. I created the magical “air” with a bit of masking and ink blending surrounded by a pattern of tiny stamped stars.
There are so many possibilities with the Inlaid Squares Cover Plate. For this simple card, I used a piece of colorful patterned paper underneath the cover plate and added the inside squares from the die cut back in. I also used a sentiment from the Have Courage set cut into a heart.
I love all of the positive sentiments in the new Happiness stamp and die set. For this card, I did a bit of ink smooshing with Distress Oxides along with stamping of the tiny hearts over the panel in the same colors. I die cut the die from black and white and inlaid the letters into the black cardstock for a simple and uplifting card.
For the last card, a super simple combo of ink blending and Copic coloring of one of the sweet animal images from the Mommy, Daddy and Me set. Once it was colored I stamped the sentiment underneath and cut out the panel with a stitched rectangle die. I love all these cute critters and their little ones.
I hope you enjoyed this look at our April release. We hope that you love all these new and exciting products as much as we do!! Thanks to Simon Says Stamp for letting us share the excitement with you today!

Monthly Mail Art with Kristina Werner – April 2018
Hello, all! Kristina here with another Monthly Mail Art! This month I created a monochromatic envelope design using the Even More Spring Flowers stamp set!
I started out the design by drawing a large banner shape by hand on Bristol Smooth paper and protecting the area with masking paper. Then I stamped flowers and leaves from the Even More Spring Flowers stamp set around the banner. After removing the masking paper, I was left with a banner shape in the middle of flowers.
To watercolor the envelope, I used only one Zig Clean Color Real Brush marker in the color black. I wanted the colorful postage stamps to stand out, so I kept the stamped area monochromatic.
I trimmed down the watercolored piece to the exact size of a black envelope and then adhered it to the envelope. To protect the design, I applied Distress Micro Glaze.
I hope you enjoyed the video! Thanks for stopping by!

No Line Watercoloring with Smiling Set
Happy Thursday, friends! Please welcome back special guest Channin Pelletier to our blog! She’s sharing a completely adorable NEW card inspiration using a brand new stamp set from Waffle Flower Crafts! Please watch the video for more info, and enjoy!
Hello everyone! It’s Channin here and I am so excited to be back at Simon Says! In today’s video today I’m creating a sweet card with the new Smiling Stamp Set from Waffle Flower Craft’s April Release! This adorable set, illustrated by Flora Waycott, is perfect for coloring and I just adore these two kitties with their sweet expressions!
WATCH THE VIDEO:
First, I die cut an A2 panel out of watercolor paper using the largest die from the Lacy Layers Die set. Next, using a MISTI I stamped one of the kitties and a sentiment from the Smiling Stamp Set on the panel. I stamped the cat in Distress Ink Antique Linen, a light colored water-based ink perfect for no-line coloring, and the sentiment in Versafine Onyx Black, a waterproof ink.
Next, I smooshed various Distress Inks onto a sheet of plastic which I use like a palette and then painted the images and the background with the watered down inks. Once finished I set the panel aside to dry and then stamped the largest flower on a scrap of watercolored paper in some more Antique Linen, watercolored it and then fussy cut it out once it was dry. To finish up the card, I adhered the panel to an A2 top-folding card
base (4.25” x 11”, scored & folded at 5.5”) with Tombow Mono Multi Liquid Glue and then attached the flower with foam tape.
I hope you enjoyed today’s video and card, thanks so much for stopping by!
