Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 25

Hello friends! Welcome back to our Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dara Gloden’s blog. I have something super fun today & I know my friends have amazing inspiration too!

This week I am sharing a card I designed that I almost used as a swap card at convention for one of the organized swaps I was in or for generals.  Ultimately I went another way, but I still love this card!

I am loving the “Remember This” Project Life stamp set and I am using the sentiments in it all the time!  It’s a photopolymer set (another huge benefit in my book!) and I just love the fonts 🙂  I used Life is Good on this card and I know I will be using that particular stamp often!

The card is pretty self explanatory, I used Hello Honey as my main color with pops of Pool Party to set it off.  The results are a quick and fun card with lots of wow factor!

Star Studded Project!

This cute and fast little card features one of my absolutely favorite My Paper Pumpkin sets.  Are you subscribed to My Paper Pumpkin?  If you aren’t, you are missing out!  I have to say the limited edition stamp sets that come in the My Paper Pumpkin kits are always my favorites, very trendy and so much fun to use!  Go to MyPaperPumpkin.com to sign up for a monthly craft project in a box, always sure to be a fun craft getaway right at your kitchen table!

Okay, back to this cute card!  It was so fast and easy to put together!  I punched a couple of stars and some fun label shapes with the Little Labels Punch Pack.  I cut a piece of Retro Fresh Designer Series Paper in a fun angled shape, layered that with half a strip of Chevron Ribbon and then stacked the stars and label punches on top of that with some twine.  I love the way the quick hit of Cherry Cobbler in one of the labels sets off the whole card.  Quick banner sentiments stamped with the Paper Pumpkin images and some rhinestones….yummy!  I think the whole thing came together in about 8 minutes!

This is one AWESOME card, perfect for an AWESOME friend!  There are lots of fun goodies on this card.  I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut the “awesome” out in Crisp Cantaloupe…isn’t that fun?  I was going to say “awesome” again, but enough already!  I used my Paper Doily Sizzlets to cut out the big doily in Sahara Sand Cardstock.  I don’t use this die enough because it is always seems like so much work to pop all the paper pieces out.  I have a little trick for this die though….sandwich wax paper between the die and your card stock and your die cut paper shape will slip out like buttah!!!

The rest of the little details on this card were fun and easy.  I spritzed the base with Crisp Cantaloupe re-inker mixed with alcohol.  I punched some stars out in Coastal Cabana, Silver Foil, Silver Glitter and Crisp Cantaloupe.  I die cut the arrow out of Silver Foil, added some rhinestones and ribbon and the whole thing came together beautifully!

Monday Montage Blog Hop – Week 16

Hello friends! Welcome back to our Monday Montage Blog Hop! You may have gotten here from the amazing Bree Renwick’s blog, make sure you select the “next” button below and that will take you to the next stop on the hop, the fabulous Dani Dziama’s blog. I have something fun, fresh & springy today & I know my friends have amazing inspiration too!

I have really been enjoying playing with butterflies this week!  I think they make me think about Spring even though can still get  pretty wintery in Colorado in March!  Today I embossed gold butterflies from the Backyard Basics stamp set on White Vellum….so yummy!  I used the matching framelits to cut the images out, easy peasy 🙂  Next I used one of the flower images from the same set and used markers to ink up the flowers, I stamped this image twice onto Whisper White and cut the images out with another framelit from the set.  I attached the flowers to the card base with dimensionals, a little offset from each other.  I added a little Dazzling Diamonds glitter to the flowers, so sparkly!  I also used the Hexagon Hive Thinlit Die and cut that image out of White Vellum.  I layered that on top of the flowers.

Time to add my beautiful butterflies!  I folded them down the middle, added a rhinestone to each and attached them randomly with glue dots.  The finishing touch was a Clear Vintage button with that cute Coastal Cabana twine from the Sale-A-Bration catalog.  I fluffed it all up under the button, this twine has lots of strands and looks so cute all fluffy!  Can you believe it is FREE!!!!  You still have today to get these awesome freebies!
