Faux No Line Coloring + A Card & Gift Set + Neat & Tangled’s Birthday!

If the video does not display, please click here to watch on my YouTube channel or refresh the page.

Hello everyone! I am super excited to be back again with you, as it has been a little bit since I have been able to share a project with you. I’ve been in the middle of a big heat wave here in Maine, where we often don’t see this kind of high heat along the coast. Temperatures have been consistently in the upper 80s to mid 90s, with humidity and heat indexes reaching 100 (or higher). With all the humidty and heat in my studio, it has made creating much harder and slower!

Today’s project is a special one! If you have followed my creative journey for a while, you may remember I previously served as a Design Team member for Neat & Tangled. This company holds a dear place in my heart, as they are such a kind and caring group of crafters. When Danielle (the owner of Neat & Tangled) asked if I would guest in their 6th Birthday Celebration, I was so happy and honored to do so!

I used many of Neat & Tangled’s new, birthday release collection, including the Thanks So Much and Floral Frame stamp sets, along with the Gift Card Box and Gift Card Box Additions die sets. The Gift Card Box die set is really cute and super easy to use; don’t you just love how it looks, all decorated and pretty?

I hope you will watch the video at the top of this post to see how easy it is to put the Gift Card Box die together. Along with that, I will also show you how I made the card! There is a coordinating envelope too that was created in the same way as the card itself. This adorable card and matching box set would be perfect to give as a thank you, wedding, anniversary or birthday gift to someone special.

A HUGE happy birthday wish to Neat & Tangled, along with loads of thanks to my sweet and loving friends, Danielle and Miriam for having me as a special guest in their birthday celebration hop! Keep on reading for all the details on the weeklong mini-hops that are happening this week over at Neat & Tangled. I’m part of Day 3’s hop, so make sure you visit the other stops for more fun and inspiration!
