Neat and Tangled March Release Day Four | Little Monster

Hey there, welcome to the day three of the  March Neat and Tangled release. On the final day of the release, I have monsters! My favorite set from this release includes a tiny birthday monster for all of your celebrations.


To create this card begin with a white cardstock card base with a circle die window cut out of it. Next, use Copic markers to color the monster, balloons and title in bold colors. Layer the monster and balloons in the center of the die cut circle, using foam tape to pop up some of the elements. Use black Versafine ink to stamp the subtitle and layer the "monster" title just underneath.

Neat and Tangled March Release Day 3 | Friendly Floral

Hey there, welcome to the day three of the  March Neat and Tangled releaseToday I have a brand new spring set, Friendly Florals and it's a beauty!



To create this card begin with a white cardstock background and black Versafine ink to randomly stamp a variety of the floral icons all over the background. Next, add a strip of patterned paper at the top of the card followed by a coordinating thinner strip of coral cardstock. Stamp a handful of the florals and color with Copic markers. Layer a cluster of the stamped images at the left side of the card. Stamp a sentiment on a die cut flag and tuck into the floral cluster.

Ink Blended Ombre + Sunny Studio Stamps

I love ric rac and sunsets, so you could say this card is a little mix of those two loves. The stitched steel die is from Sunny Studios Stamp. The die gave me nice, sharp edges and was perfect for creating a little stack of textured goodness!



I started by ink blending a strip of white cardstock with Distress Inks in Fossilized Amber and Abandoned Coral. Then I used the largest Ric Rac Border  die repeatedly to create a beautiful ombre range. Next, a small shaker box was created with the Scalloped Circles Steel Die. The kitty is from the Purrfect Birthday stamp set and was colored with Copic markers. Last, a sentiment from the same set was stamped in black ink.



The ric rac border shape adds a pop of bold color and design to this birthday greeting. The tiny stitching detail adds a warm touch of handmade goodness!

Neat and Tangled March Release Day 2 | No Words Watercolor Card

Hey there, welcome to the day two of the  March Neat and Tangled releaseThe next stamp set up is called No Words for those times when you need a card for the difficult and sad times in life. It's a great way to send a hug in an envelope to those you love and are thinking about.



To create this card begin with watercolor paper and a die cut heart. Use Distress Ink in Peacock Blue to add a splash a color to the heart. Next, use Copic markers to color a floral spray. A beautiful script sentiment in black finishes off this clean card design. nk.
