{Neat & Tangled} September Release Week: Day 1


Hi, everyone! I'm so thrilled to be rejoining the Neat & Tangled Design Team for this release!! It's Day 1 of Neat & Tangled's September Release and, today, the design team is featuring the Booed or Pumpkin Everything stamp sets. Pumpkin Everything is the You're So Neat Incentive Program set for September/October and it's yours free with every qualifying $60 purchase! It will also be available for purchase when the September release goes live on Friday.


I stamped Pumpkin Everything in black archival ink on watercolour cardstock, then used distress inks to paint the pumpkin and smoosh ink on the edges. The stamped heart and Xs are from the Hand Stitched stamp set.


The patterned papers are from Amy Tangerine's Rise & Shine 6x6 paper pad and the die cut hearts are a new product which will be showcased on Thursday. ;)


There's a HUGE GIVEAWAY! Be sure to leave a comment on the Neat & Tangled Blog for your chance to win the entire release!

All release products will be available for purchase on Friday and I'll be updating my links at that time. See you again tomorrow!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

{Paper Smooches} Kibitzing Two and Kibitzing Icons


I love that there are now Hanukkah dies in the Paper Smooches collection! Today's card showcases the new Kibitzing Two stamp set and coordinating Kibitzing Icons dies. If you already own the retiring 3x4 sets, Kibitzing Sampler and Kibitzing Icons stamp sets, you can simply purchase the new Kibitzing Icons dies for the images in the original 3x4 stamp set.


I watercoloured the dreidels after heat embossing them with gold tinsel embossing powder. Then I used the Stitched Flourishes and Stitched Flourishes 2 dies on the card base to give the dreidels their twirling movement. To finish, I flecked a wet brush with black watercolour paint on the background and added black enamel dots and blue and gold sequins to embellish the background.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
