Hi there! Welcome to the fourth day of the June Neat & Tangled release countdown! All of the new products will be available in the Neat & Tangled Store on Friday June 9th at 8:00 am EST!
Today I have a card to share with a really neat new die called Exploding Blocks! So many ways you could use this one!
I was so excited about this card, because I thought it would be perfect for a guy. And seriously, I have almost zero guy cards! I really struggle with cards that don't include cute animals or abundant flowers :) So for this one, I blended Distress inks for my background to created a graduated ombre effect, then sprinkled with water.
I cut the Exploding Blocks Cover Plate out of white card stock and adhered that over my inked panel. The triangles under the sentiment are cut out with the Triangle Pattern Builder dies and layered to create some interest. The sentiment was white embossed on black card stock and cut out with a banner die from the Scalloped Dies set. They were all adhered with foam tape.
Don't forget - there is a giveaway every day this week of the set(s) being featured that day, and a $25 gift certificate up for grabs at the end of the week. Comment on all of the design team blogs all week for a chance to win. Winners will be announced on the Neat & Tangled Blog Friday at 7:30am EST!
Thanks so much for stopping by!
