Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 136!!!!

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 card features the super cute succulent stamp from the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  Not only does that kit have the cutest cards, it has some really fun stamps in it!  I had to do a semi-no line watercolor technique with it.  I think I used Sahara Sand, it didn’t completely fade out but it is soft and dreamy.  I just love it!  The Lace Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder and the Soft Sea Foam die cut carried the dreamy quality of the card home. It’s sort of soft, sweet and vintage.

Last call for Sale-A-Bration!

This time of year always seems to fly by at light speed!  Well maybe it is all times of year lol!  I can’t believe tomorrow is already April 1st!!  Anyway, that means that today is the end of Sale-a-Bration!  So you only have a few more hours to get in on some of the super cute items that come for free with a $50 order.  One of my absolute favorites this year is this Botanical Butterfly DSP.  It is so cute and the colors are so perfect!  Best of all, many of the butterfly images fit right in the Butterfly Duet punch!  I love this the most!

Here’s a trick to punch out just the large butterfly from the paper and not damage any surrounding images with the smaller butterfly part of the punch.  Trim the butterfly from the paper and then use a post it to create a “handle” so you can put the butterfly image in the punch.  It works every time!  See pics below:

I love the lemon lime twist, grapefruit grove and highland heather together in this card, I think this color combination is so pretty and springy 🙂

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.
