Neat & Tangled is celebrating its third birthday! Woo hoo! I'm so happy for Danielle--she is such a sweet and talented lady. :) I'm honored to be hopping along with Neat & Tangled for a special blog hop to celebrate! :) Each day this week, there has been a short hop, and today's hop includes:
Jocelyn Olson <--That's me!
There is a mini release of two stamps and two dies. They are fab! Here's my first card:
Isn't the new Heart of Gold die wicked cool? I love it! My buddy Miriam designed the die and the corresponding Heart of Gold stamps. I die-cut the heart out of white-ish glitter cardstock and layered it over an extra background I made a few weeks ago.
I masked off part of the sentiment and heat embossed it in gold. Doesn't the heart look like a constellation? The die is very versatile.
Here's my second card:
The new little bear from the Happiest Birthday set is too cute! I Copic-colored and fussy cut him, and popped up the present to look like he's holding it. I layered him over a Studio Calico journaling card.
After staring at the card for a while, I decided it was missing something. Ever do that? I die-cut the stars from the new Seeing Stars die from linen vellum for another layer. I also added some of Lucy Abrams' fab Flamingo Shaker Mix--these are awesome! I may have added too much, but hey, that's how I roll....
As part of the hop, there is also a giveaway!
There are two gift certificates to the Neat and Tangled shop: 1) A $100 gift certificate; and 2) A $50 gift certificate. Winners will be chosen from comments the hop all week long. You can find each day's list on the Neat & Tangled blog.
Next on the hop is the incredibly talented Teri! I can't wait to see what she made.
Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!!

ReplyDeleteLovely heart of gold card! I love that splattered background and the embossed sentiment! I'll bit the heart is very sparkly in real life! Thanks so much for sharing these!
ReplyDeleteHi Jocelyn ~ Love, love, love the way you used the new dies in both of your cards. Clever use of the Heart of Gold as a constellation along with the blue (Distress ink?) background. Awesome thinking out of the box. The Happiest Birthday bear is absolutely adorable and I like that you not only added dimension by popping up the pieces but used the Seeing Stars die to add a vibrant element; it totally makes the card come alive! The sequins and Studio Calico journaling card look like a perfect match (and NEVER too many sequins!) and bring all of the elements together. Well done!
ReplyDeleteBlue background is so charming!!!
ReplyDeleteI love both of your cards, but I really like how you used the star die cut.
ReplyDeleteWOW - your first card took my breath away - it is stunning!! Love the white against that watercolored blue background!! Then your second card has such a happy, soft, awesomely floaty feeling to it - love it - so wonderful!! Love seeing your work using Neat & Tangled products!!!
