Neat and Tangled Birthday Blog Hop (VIDEO + GIVEAWAYS!)

6 Aug

Good morning!  I am so excited to help Neat and Tangled celebrate their 6th birthday this week and I decided to go back to “my roots” and create a shaker gift box card!  I first discovered Neat and Tangled for their sequins in 2014 and might have purchased over 30 types of sequins that day! 😉 So it feels appropriate to use sequins in today’s creation!  I made a video sharing how to create this card and you can watch it below or at my Youtube channel here!

I pulled my inspiration from the Neat and Tangled Party Mix sequins and blended coordinating distress inks onto Strathmore Bristol cardstock before die-cutting it with the Gift Box die!

I blended the same distress inks onto another piece of bristol cardstock and die-cut a diamond panel using the Gift Box Add-On dies.  I stamped the fun design on the panel and then stamped the sentiment on a piece of acetate.  I adhered the acetate behind the diamond panel and then created my shaker card with glitter and the Party Mix sequins!  It’s the perfect size for presenting a gift card or even a little yummy treat!

And that’s it!

To celebrate Neat and Tangled‘s 6th birthday they’re giving away one $100 gift card and two $50 gift cards!  The winners will be chosen from comments left on all the blogs over the entire week!  You should have arrived from Laura and today I’m the last stop!  If this if your first stop here’s a list of all the stops on the hop:

  • Neat and Tangled Blog
  • Laura Bassen
  • Jessica Frost-Ballas –> You are here!

Thanks so much for stopping by, have a fantastic day, and enjoy the hop!

❤️❤️❤️ My friend @lstein0 is a miracle worker! Rogue is very much NOT a cuddly lap cat. She’s happy to come to you when she wants attention but she never wants to lay next to us. Until she discovered the soft and comfy blanket Lisa crocheted for me...and she loves it enough that she’s willing to share it with me and actually rest her head on my leg! 😱😱😱 Also pictured, a VERY jealous Gambit as that is usually where he lays. 😂 #tortiesofinstagram #torties
