Neat & Tangled January Release Day 1 & Giveaways

Happy New Year!

We're kicking the new year off right away at Neat & Tangled with our January release.  Today we're showing off two of my new products the Maze die and A-Mazing stamp set.

This one was really fun to design, so much fun I ended up making three cards to share.  Take a look:

The first card is pretty simple, I used the die to create an enclosed channel.  If you had a little ball/bead you could use it in there, I opted to go with a sequin.

I cut the maze five times.  Four were adhered together and then to my patterned paper base.  I dropped the little red sequin in, and then adhered a piece of transparency over top of the maze. 



The final die cut was stamped with the sentiment and then adhered on top.



This next card is more interactive.  The channels are set far enough apart so that it can be used a bit like a spinner, although because there are so many corners it sometimes needs help moving through the channels.  My girls had fun moving the little mouse through the maze though - it's perfect for kids!  You do have to cut your dimensional adhesive quite narrow and center it in the channels.



The little mouse is from the Kitty's Favorite Things stamp set.  Elena usually throws a little critter into her sets, so there are lots to choose from to use for the maze.  There is also a little heart included with the maze die as well as a small circle that you can use as the base for whatever element you want to add to the maze.



My final card uses the maze a little differently, more like a bit of ephemera.  I paired it with some patterned paper as well as chipboard polaroid frame, and then added a couple of fish (one from Kitty's Favorite Things and the other from Mermazing).
