stop & slow down

amy tsuruta, falling flakes, Stop and Go 12.11.2014

Hello Neat & Tangled fans! It's Amy here with a special holiday giftie:

I realize that my tag doesn't scream 'holidays'....but I think something important to keep in mind with all the flurry of holiday activities is to Stop & Slow Down! Savor the moments!

I used the Stop and Go set:

I also used Falling Flakes:

I used watercolors to color my tag.

I have a certain someone that I'll be sending this little giftie to. I hope that it makes her take time for herself during these especially chaotic days!

Thanks so much for stopping by!!!

Hi everyone! This is Yana and today I have a fun scenic card to share with you. After Neat & Tangled releaser their first dies, those being the On the Corner and A lot to Say I immediately started playing with them.

I have already shared my first cards with you here and today I wanted to show you another card that I made using the new die. I also used a ton of stamps from Neat & Tangled and created a scene behind my street sign.

Hello friends! I'm here today with another gorgeous project from our May guest, Debby Hughes! I absolutely love this card - what a great use of Stop and Go!

Hi Debby here! I'm so happy to be guesting again this week. Last week my cards were all soft, organic and watercoloury (that's a real word right?). Well this week I'm going clean and graphic with the fabulous Stop and Go set. The stop signal is stamped and copic coloured and then I used two masks to get the red signal with heart inside. The first mask is a die cut heart from stamping mask paper and for the second I stamped the stop signal on the masking paper and carefully cut out the signal area. By placing the heart mask in the center of the signal area and then the other mask around the signal area I was left with an spot I could set to with some Barn Door distress ink and a mini blending tool :D I was so happy when I lifted the masks to see a perfect heart shaped stop signal!

I stamped the small 'stop' from the set in the center of the heart and then created the sentiment from a silver glitter die cut 'you' and more stamping to finish the sentiment. This set is great that way, lots of options for you to combine to make your own sentiments :) Finally I added some die cut silver glitter hearts and a few enamel dots before mounting the panel on a dark grey card base to bring in the same tones as the metal from the signal.

Thanks for joining me today and I look forward to being back next week with my final guest post :)

Dylusions, mayuri, Sparkle and Shine, Stop and Go, Watercolor 5.13.2014

Hello, hello! Mayuri here to share a card I've made using a couple of awesome Neat & Tangled sets!

©Candles in the Garden. Neat and Tangled DT post. Sparkle, shine and Thanks.

As you might have noticed, watercolour is all the rage at the moment, especially in the cardmaking world and I must admit, I'm still trying to get my head around it. So for this card, I began by drawing a circle on some watercolour paper and then filling it in with some masking fluid - the card was inspired by this pin, and I thought the concept would work perfectly with any of the Neat & Tangled sentiments!

Once the masking fluid was dry, I painted liberally all over the watercolour panel with water and then added droplets of Dylusions Ink Sprays, concentrating it around the outer edges of the circle.

I moved the panel around to encourage the ink to move around the page and create this cool watercolour look. When I was happy, I heat set it and then added a few inks splatters. Now, here's the bit that I was hoping would have worked brilliantly...when I went to remove the masking fluid, it seemed to peel away some of the paper too! Aghhh! I was determined to keep going, so I cut a circle out of another piece of watercolour paper and foam mounted it over the area where the masking fluid was. Is that what's known as card surgery?!!

I stamped the sentiment from the Stop and Go set some of the stars from the Sparkle and Shine set in Black Soot Distress Ink and then went over with some clear Wink of Stella. There's also a sprinkling of some black satin sequins...

Thanks for looking!

Stop and Go Blog Hop!

blog hop, danielle walls, Stop and Go 4.21.2014

Hello friends! Danielle here for a super fun blog hop to kick off your week! Today I am joined by Miriam Prantner and lots of awesomely talented friends to showcase another awesome set Miriam has designed for Neat and Tangled, Stop and Go!

And here is my card!

This card was super easy to make! I just stamped and paper pieced the different elements of the stop light. Then I got out my ruler to draw a line very lightly in pencil so I could be sure to get my sentiment straight (yay for me being patient and not just stamping haphazardly!). I stamped that and waited a good time for it to dry before very carefully erasing the pencil line. I popped up the stop light with some foam dimensional and called it a day!

Next on the hop is Miriam, so be sure to stop by and see what she has made! See the full list of participants below:

You Make My Heart Stop Card

Card, Just Thinking of You, Stop and Go, yana smakula, you + me 2.27.2014

Hello everyone! This is Yana sharing another video tutorial with you.

Lately I've been absolutely obsessed with the watercolour and I've been experimenting with different supplies and techniques to create a watercolour look. Today I'd like to share a quick video tutorial with you to show my way of doing a watercolour background.

I'm also showing a fun way to combine sentiment stamps from multiple sets to create one unique message.

To create the sentiment for this card I used stamps from the following sets:

I encourage you to try this tecnique with your stamps and see what you can come up with.
Thanks!
