Neat & Tangled: Moxie Fab "Stamp" of Approval

 

***Please scroll down for my 12 Kits of Christmas post........there is a chance at blog candy!***

 

 

Did you see the BIG news yesterday?  Neat & Tangled got Moxie Fab's "Stamp" of Approval yesterday over on the Moxie Fab World blog!  Woot, woot!!

 

In celebration of this news, the DT has put together some fabulous tags to spark your creativity this holiday season!  I hope you checked out the Neat & Tangled blog yesterday because there were tags showcased there. 

 

I've used the adorable Elves at Work for my tags.  The base of the tags is one of the Stitched Mats: Rectangles from Lil' Inker Designs.  I stamped the elves onto kraft and left them uncolored for something different since I knew I would add some scrap holiday paper I had on my desk.  Then using the Do Not Open stamp, I've stamped twice and pieced my sentiment back together.  Now I know you all have eyelets in your crafty stash, right?  It was fun to get them out and use them again! 

 

 I should mention that there is some **cute** digital stamps being offered over in the Neat & Tangled store that Danielle released for this BIG news!

 

Thanks for stopping by and have a great week!!!

 

 



Neat & Tangled October Release {Elves at Work}

Welcome to another day of release goodies from Neat & Tangled!  You are going to be so inspired by today's set......I can hardly stand it!  The holidays around my house are always so special as my kids still BELIEVE.  I don't know when this will change or if they already suspect but I'm hoping it lasts a few more years.  So one of their favorite holiday movies to watch is Elf.  Yes, it's totally funny and I love it!  So can you guess what today's set is all about??

When I first saw this set, I immediately had some ideas but the one I kept going back to perfect was some postcards.  If you follow my blog, then you know that I make mini cards to put in my kids' mailboxes (that I decorated years ago) and place them at their seat at the table on the morning of the holiday.  They LOVE this and look forward to the holidays (not just Christmas).

So here I've used the new Elves at Work stamp set.  O. M. G.  How stinkin' cute are these elves???  Danielle included a girl AND a boy elf!  Perfect for my postcards.  I started by making a frame with the Stitched Mats: Rectangles dies.  Stamping a couple of sneak peak images here, I paired them with the girl elf and the boy elf. 

I've colored my Elves with various Copics and fussy cut them out.  Yep.....I did that.  :)  I applied some white Enamel Accents to the tops of the hat and shoes.  Gives it just a bit of dimension.  Here is a photo of both postcards together.



Now, I couldn't let the inside go undone so I stamped another sneak peek image that coordinated with my postcard perfectly!!

Don't forget to head over to the Neat & Tangled blog to enter today's giveaway--the winner will receive a stamp set of choice!!! The new release stamp sets will be available for purchase at the Neat & Tangled store on Friday, October 5 at 8am, EST.   here tomorrow for another new stamp set that I've heard you all can't wait to see!
