Into The Woods - Neat and Tangled party ensemble challenge
Hi!!
Neat and Tangled have always had challenges on their blog but this time around it was bigger and I couldn't help but jump in!
I have a thing for themed parties and in the past year I have thrown 4 and now I can add this one.
My theme for this one was camping; obviously, there is no actual camping! but let's pretend...
The banner
I die-cut 12 stitched banners from navy blue cardstock and blended the edges with blue and black ink and then splattered it with white paint.
I also cut out 12 banners from green cardstock (to keep the stitches throughout) and then used a forest border die to cut out...a forest?
When cutting out the trees, I made sure to have a continuous flow to the next banner.
I added the title -INTO THE WOODS- in white using letters from the Journaling Alpha dies.
Using rustic jute twine, I threaded the banner to complete it.
supplies used for banner:
- Lawn Fawn Blue Jay cardstock
- Lawn Fawn Noble Fir cardstock
- Lawn Fawn stitched banners die
- Lawn Fawn forest border die
- Neat and Tangled Journaling Alphas dies
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Forest Moss
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Chipped Sapphire
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Black Soot
The invitation card
I used a woodgrain notecard from Lawn Fawn and a patterned paper by Simple Stories called Under The Stars. Used a stitched rectangle die to cut out the starry paper to use it as a background for my scene.
The main stamp set I used for this party was the Little Bear set. It has this lovely tree and campfire which was perfect for my card. I coloured in with my spectrum noirs and backed it on some foam tape and added it on the hill.
Completed this card with white sequins.
here's a process video for this card:

Thank you frame and favours
At every party you have to have a frame and favours thanking your guests for attending.
I had this wooden frame and taking an A4 sheet of card, I used the Nesting Hexagon stencil to make a pattern in matching colour. Again, using the letter dies; I thanked my guests rather punnily.
Decorated the frame with the bear, a tree and green sequins.
The favours were a delight to make; inspired by paper bags, I used the goodie bag die from Lawn Fawn. The paper I used was Desert Storm by Neenah but you can use any kraft card.
supplies used for frame:
- Neat and Tangled Journaling Alphas
- Neat and Tangled Little Bear stamp set
- Neat and Tangled Frosted Pine sequins
- Neat and Tangled Little Bear stamp set
- Neat and Tangled Nesting Hexagon stencil
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Antique Linen
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Vintage Photo
- Tim Holtz Distress ink Tea Dye
- Spectrum noirs EB5 and True Black
I think it is fair to say that the marshmallows from the February release were a hit so it was a no-brainer to use them for this party because hello! Marshmallows and camping! 
So the favours were going to be marshmallow and twigs like what you would have by the campfire.
 |
| sorry for the glare. used a 4 x 6 cellophane bag to package the treats |
 |
| you stick the chocolate "twigs" into the marshmallows |
The twigs come in mint and orange flavours, here in the UK I bought them from Aldi, they're called Matchsticks.
supplies used for favours:
- Neat and Tangled S'more fun stamp set and dies
- Lawn Fawn Goodie bag die
- Neenah Desert Storm cardstock
- Spectrum Noir TN2, TN7, BG2 and blender
Food and drink labels
Took a dark blue 12 x 12 cardstock and cut a strip off and labelled it Lake Water - duh! Kids love that right?
 |
| More trees to embellish the label |
No party without food and no themed party without themed food; this is my favourite part. Being punny with food.
Cut out a window from a folded woodgrain notecard and backed it with white card. I used the pawprints and critters from the Little Bear stamp set to decorate the food labels. Here's what we had:
Chocolate mini rolls as "logs"
Chocolate cupcakes with marshmallow fluff and topped with oreo soil and a campfire
Dirt cups with gummy worms!
that's a wrap!
this was a great way to end the weekend, I had so much fun preparing this party and the kids had a blast! how real did those worms look?! thank you for visiting and reading this post! please feel free to ask me any questions about anything from this party.
