Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 135!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

I have created quite a few cards with the lovely Humming Along set.  I just purchased the coordinating framelits, so I will be having more stamping fun with this gorgeous set!  For this card, I gold embossed the hummingbird image on watercolor paper and then watercolored with Lemon Lime Twist, Coastal Cabana, Daffodil Delight, Bermuda Bay, Mango Melody and Blueberry Bushel.  I love how my sweet birdie came out!  The rest of the card features the large flower from the set stamped in the background in Coastal Cabana and several die cuts with the new Rectangle Stitched Framelits – these dies are must haves!!!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 134!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

I have been stamping like a kook the last few weeks, now I need to share like a kook!  I gold embossed my butterflies, colored them with Blends and then punched them out with the Butterfly Duo Punch.  So fast and easy and they came out so lovely I think!  A little watercolor wash in Lemon Lime Twist, a little splatter and a gorgeous “friend” die cut in Gold Foil and this sweet card was almost finished!  The final touches of vellum, sequins and flax ribbon strings brought this card right over the top for me!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 133!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

Today’s project features the gorgeous Climbing Roses stamp set.  This set is so much fun to color with watercolors or, in this case, Blends.  I white embossed the large image on vellum and then colored with Blends and I could not love the result more!  It’s so subtle and pretty….yummy!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 132!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

We are soooo excited to have new members join our hop this week!  Please welcome Charlet Mallett and Cheryl Curtis to our group!  I can’t wait to see their creations and I know you will love their work too!

I played with the lovely little butterflies in the Butterfly Gala set today.  I used a technique I call “dirty watercolor” on the butterflies, I didn’t worry about the lines and just kind of popped in the color where I wanted to.  Then I added dazzling diamond glitter accents to the butterflies, yummy!  I love how bright and cheerful this card is…it just shouts that spring is coming soon!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 131!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

This week I have another sweet new coordinated stamp set and framelit set in the new Occasions Catalog!  I just love how easy it is to create something fabulous with these new items 🙂  This card looks amazing but was super easy to make.  I brought in some Brusho to give that extra pop of color and I love how it came out.  I also love how the white embossed flourish stamp peeks through the butterfly die cut.

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 130!!!!

Hello friends! Welcome back to the Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won’t want to miss the amazing prettiness that I know you will find at all the stops along the way!

Welcome to 2019!  I did a ton of stamping and creating in December but I didn’t do any blogging!  Yikes!  It was a very busy month:  my son graduated from Colorado State University Magna Cum Laude and we had a bunch of family in from all over the country to celebrate!  My daughter bought her first home and I helped her move into her beautiful new home.  Plus the holidays, work and crafting…the month was crazy busy and full!

I am excited to get back to sharing with you in 2019 🙂  This card features the cute new heart set in the Occasions Catalog that just went live this week.  I am a sucker for heart sets, they are so fun and easy to layer and create with.  Do not overlook the Be Mine Stitched Framelits Dies!!  There are 16 gorgeous dies in this set perfect for layering and making some amazing projects.  Of course, my absolute fave is the big heart background you can see in my card, it is perfect to add interest to your projects with peeks of the background behind it.  What is even better?  Every time you use this die, you also get a sweet pile of various size puffy hearts that you can use in your creations 🙂

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 129!!!!

Santa’s elves have been busy in my crafting workshop!  I have been creating like a kook and doing class and event prep for weeks it seems like!  I think I have blisters on my fingers from rolling card stock through the Big Shot LOL!  The results have been amazing though!  Today, I am featuring one of the projects from the last few weeks.  I love every little bit of this card from the exquisite designer series paper to the luscious golden deer!
