Neat & Tangled Release Week

I’m so excited to be part of the design team for Neat & Tangled Stamps, featuring hand-drawn, heart-warming images and sentiments by Danielle Walls. The stamps are made from high-quality, clear photopolymer.

I had a lot of fun working with the Hey Cookie and Sweet Home stamp sets. I didn’t actually bake gingerbread as I prepared my cards, but I did buy gingerbread cookies to get into a holiday frame of mind!

For my first card, I envisioned a cup of hot cocoa and a peppermint stick with my color choices of cocoa brown, red and white. The white embossed images stand out crisply on the cardstock. I put a grommet through the top of the stamped house and added silver cord.

I enjoy paper piecing, and for my second card using the Sweet Home set, I created a scene primarily using Echo Park patterned papers. I love this house so much I want to move in!

The Hey Cookie people are simply adorable. I stamped and embossed the pair onto cocoa cardstock and added them to a die cut tag. Those are Pepperidge Farm gingerbread people inside the box, wink.

  1. Gorgeous creations Jean, and those stamp sets are so cute, especially those little Hey Cookie people. Love that you were inspired by hot cocoa and peppermint stick for the first card. I especially like the machine stitching on the second card, and the papers are beautiful.

  2. Jean! So awesome. I love the simplicity of your first card, and the silver cord is the perfect touch with the embossing. Your paper pieced card ROCKS and the cookie box…TOO CUTE! Such great projects!

  3. I like how you made the house into an orament on the COCOA card!
    Great ideas on the other projects too!
