Neat & Tangled Release {A Lot to Say}

 

Welcome back to the last day of the January release for Neat & Tangled Stamps!  Today we are showing off the sweetest little stamp......it's called A Lot to Say.  I just love the concept of this stamp and so glad I have it in my stash now!

I used the fun chalkboard technique because well, no doubt you've seen it done and it's just fantastic!  I will definitely be doing it more often!  Here I've paired the speech bubble stamp with a border from On the Strip and a sentiment from Kindness Matters.  I think this sentiment makes a FABULOUS thank you card! 
 



My next card uses A Lot to Say and a sentiment from Swirly Twirly Tags using a trendy color combination.  I was just telling my friend Laurie that I have um.....several boxes of wood veneers and hadn't used them yet.  So Laurie, I opened a box and used some!  LOL

 

 Make sure you stop by the Neat & Tangled blog for more inspiration and at your chance at winning this stamp set!

WELCOME!  Wahoo.....release day for Neat & Tangled Stamps!  Today's set may look a little familiar to you as it was previously a freebie digi image from the Little Tangles Challenge blog!  (which if you have Neat & Tangled stamps......go check this out.  Free stamp set up for grabs!)  This month.....Danielle's made it into a cute stamp set!  Now, I have to admit......I didn't use the tags from the set on my card.  I just couldn't get past that adorable little birdie!  So, I kept it simple and clean but adding a tiny snippet of some yummy twine from Timeless Twine......Strawberry Cupcake!

 

 Now you need to go visit the Neat & Tangled blog for inspiration from the rest of the Design Team AND for your chance at winning this stamp set! 

Don't forget the challenge blog.....Little Tangles!  A new challenge just started and it's one I love.....clean & simple.

Fresh Squeezed Stamps Release {You Said It, Sister}

 

Welcome back to more goodness from Fresh Squeezed Stamps!  Today I am sharing a card made with a new set called:  You Said It, Sister.  What a fabulous set with great sentiments and a polka dot border stamp!  You can NEVER go wrong with polka dots!

 

 

I went with a neon chalkboard look........I used some hot pink embossing powder to heat emboss 3 of the sentiments from this set onto black cardstock.  Stamping the polka dot border across the bottom, I then smeared white ink all over and on the edges.  I kinda like the look!

 

 Now it's time to head over to the Fresh Squeezed Stamps blog for more inspiration from the DT and your chance at winning this set!  Don't be afraid of the rafflecopter thing.....it's harmless!

BE Inspired #18

 

Just a quick post here to share a card I made tonight for the BE Inspired challenge over at The Alley Way Stamps.  I've had this challenge on my radar since it came out and finally had time to play along tonight but I only had time to photograph and link up.  Here is the beautiful inspiration photo:

 

 

 

I used Jolly Holiday set from TAWS......so many cute cute images in this set!  I masked off a framed area and embossed the snowflakes and sentiment in white.  Love the look!

 

 

Thanks for all the sweet congratulations for my new ventures in 2013!  I can't wait to get started!
I'm also entering this into the Simon Says Stamp Challenge this week for NEW SOMETHING.  For me, this is a NEW stamp set!
