Monday Montage #267





Hey there stampin' friends! Welcome back for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.   Today I'm sharing a card that was created using the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack from the upcoming September-December Mini Catalog.  These Memories & More cards are the absolute most adorable cards ever!  It really helps cut down on the amount of time needed to design a card.  Perfect for those who are in a hurry!

The best thing about the Reindeer Days Memories & More Card Pack is that it coordinates with the Reindeer Days Suite Collection.  So cute and so fun!

OSAT: Find A Sketch

 


Welcome to another fabulous OSAT Blog Hop!  Join us today as we share cards that feature the sketches that can be found on page 22 of the Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  My cards today share a few "sneak peeks" of products coming in the September-December Mini Catalog.  

I chose 2 clean and simple sketches for this challenge.  One with a circle and the other with a banner.  Sometimes craft time is limited (which is why the CAS cards are perfect!) 


Card 1 features the Nests Of Winter DSP and the Natural Tones Linen Thread.  Sentiment is from the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set.


Card 2 features the Sentimental Christmas DSP and Drusy Adhesive Backed Embellishments.  The sentiment is from the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set.


Which one do you prefer?  I love them both- but the one with the banner is my favorite!  I LOVE that snowflake paper!!!

Monday Montage #266





Hey there stampin' friends! Welcome back for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.   Today I'm sharing a card that was created using the Calming Creek Cards & Envelopes and the Fully Flowering Epherma Pack.  The Mix & Match products are great!  Especially if crafting time is limited!  It's so easy to create a fabulous card in just a few minutes.


I used one of the Calming Creek Cards as DSP and cut out a tag using the Greetings Of The Season Dies.  These dies are so versatile!  Even though they coordinate with the Greetings Of The Season Stamp Set- they can be used for so much more!  They're my go to tag dies now! 
I then added a floral image from the Fully Flowering Epherma Pack.  The sentiment is from the Round We Go Stamp Set and was stamped in Night of Navy ink.  Three Ombre Matte Decorative Dots were used to embellish the card.

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives for July 2024

Did you order the July 2024 Paper Pumpkin Kit?  It's called Painted Petals and it is my all time favorite Paper Pumpkin Kit.  It is absolutely gorgeous!  I'm so happy that I received it as an assignment for the Artisan Design Team.  


 This kit is so gorgeous that making the cards as shown in the Paper Pumpkin instructions is perfect.  The cards as is are simply gorgeous and don't really need anything to make them more beautiful than they already are.  With that said- I tried to keep the card front similar to the kit.  However-I created an alternate fun fold card that features the Old Olive DSP from the Regals 6" x 6" DSP Stack.  I loved how the stripes and the floral side looked with the kit so I chose to showcase both sides.  The card actually opens from left to right and has a pretty image stamped inside as well as another sentiment.  Sadly- I've been through my entire camera roll and cannot find the other pictures that I had taken. 😞


For my second alternate project- I created a home decor piece- it's a framed sampler.  This piece turned out so lovely!  It's truly beautiful 💟 
I have received so many requests for the instructions.  I'm happy to say that I actually have a tutorial that I will share (just because putting the instructions into a post makes for a very long post).  Please send me an EMAIL to dani.dziama@gmail.com and I will send the document!

Let me know if you'd like a tutorial for the card as well.  I'm happy to create it!
