Tangled up in Christmas: Day 10

 

 

Hi everyone!  I'm here with Day 10 of Tangled up in Christmas!  My very CAS card is for all of you with a sweet tooth!  :)
 

Here I've used several of the "sweet" images from the Neat & Tangled stamp set, Sweet Home.  I've colored them in with Copics R27/R29.  I don't know about you, but this time of year for me is just crazy.  When it comes to holiday cards, it must be simple.  This one would be easily mass produced!  But I did have to add some glitter to the tops of the gum drops......I couldn't resist!  :)

 

Have you checked out, Little Tangles, the new challenge blog for those that love Neat & Tangled stamps?  The next challenge is up and runs until Sunday, December 16 at11:59 EST to enter your HOLIDAY creation!

 



How about you?  Are you done with your holiday cards?  Try CAS......you can do it!

Happy Holidays!!!

Cloud 9 Blog Hop {December}

 

Hi everyone!  I have a very CAS card to share today for the Cloud 9 Blog Hop! 

I was very lucky to be one of the guest designers this month! Yay! 

 

This month's inspiration photos were amazing........snowflakes, nordic images, gingham, etc.

I had such a hard time and couldn't decide what inspired me the most! So I went with the snowflakes and nordic theme!  Wplus9 has a wonderfully perfect set for this......Fair Isle Backgrounds.

 

 Here are the gorgeous inspiration photos for this month........

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!!!

You are............

 

Hi everyone!  I'm glad to be back crafting after the week I "took off"!  :) 

I hope you took advantage of the sale at Neat & Tangled stamps over the weekend and snagged some of your favorites!

 

Today, I'm sharing a simple, simple card with you.  Using the word stamps from Kindness Matters, I created a sweet sentiment panel adding in some of the heart stamps as well. 

 

 

I also used another set, Little Tangles, for stamping my own Chevron paper and then die cutting it with an arrow die.  I love that I can highlight certain words in my sentiment this way!

 

 

That's all from me today!  Enjoy and I'll be back later this week with some very inspiring posts to spark your creativity this season!
