Monday Montage #263

Hey there stampin' friends! Welcome back for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Today I'm sharing 2 baby cards.  Both are the same layout/embellishments.  The only difference is one is for a boy and one is for a girl.  

The Cutest Onesie Bundle may seem like a small stamp set and just a few dies however there is a lot of potential that lies within this set!  The little onesie itself can be just that- a onesie or cut off the bottom portion of it and it can be a t-shirt!  The sentiments are sweet as are the other elements- numbers and a baby rattle.

Here's the boy version.  I used a blending brush to create a very faint layer of Balmy Blue.  Then I stamped and cut out 3 onesies from Basic White Cardstock and a Balmy Blue patterned onesie from the Subtles 6" x 6" DSP Stack.  Iridescent Faceted Gems were used for embellishments.

The next card is the girl version.  It was created in the same way as the boy version.  The only difference is I used Bubble Bath for the color.

Hey there stampin' friends! Welcome back for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.  Today my card features the Seaside Wishes Bundle and the Beauty Of The Deep Dies.  

My color palette for the starfish/coral images- was Poppy Parade, Melon Mambo, Pretty In Pink, and Bubble Bath .  The seagrass and small starfish color palette is: Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon, Summer Splash and Coastal Cabana. The elements were created by using a Blending Brush to add ink to Basic White Cardstock and then die cutting.

Monday Montage #260

Hey there stampin' friends! It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Today I am sharing a card created using several items from the brand new Full Of Life Suite Collection.  For my card today- I've used the Friends For Life Bundle, Full of Life DSP and the gorgeous new Iridescent Faceted Gems.  I LOVE these gems!  They are so pretty!

This whole product suite is just fantastic!  It's chock full of bright cheerful colors.  The coordinating DSP has fun patterns and is perfect to create projects for many different occasions.  

This card was super easy to create- I started with a standard size card base.  Layered that with a piece of Full Of Life DSP that measures 4" x 5-1/4".  I cut a heart shape from a 3-3/4" x 5" piece of Basic White Cardstock using the Friends For Life Dies and then embossed the negative image using the Distressed Tile 3D Embossing Folder. I layered the embossed layer to the DSP layer using Stampin Dimensionals.  The Love You sentiment was stamped in Blueberry Bushel Classic Ink.  I cut apart a piece of Silver Trim from the Gold & Silver 1/8" Trim Combo Pack and nested the threads under the sentiment.  Three Iridescent Faceted Gems were used to embellish the card.

Monday Montage #259

Hey there stampin' friends! It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Today I am sharing a card created using the Paper Florist Dies and a whole bunch of gorgeous colors!  I'm so sad that the Paper Florist Dies are retiring at the end of this month.  They are by far some of my absolute favorite dies.  

To create the elements on the card- I began with a piece of Basic White Cardstock.  I then used several Blending Brushes (1 for each color) and began adding the ink.  I started with Moody Mauve, then Berry Burst, Petunia Pop and Fresh Freesia.  After all the colors were applied- I used a Water Painter to flick specks of water all over the colored cardstock. I set this piece aside to dry and began on the coloring for the leaves.  The leaves were created in the same exact way however I used Lemon Lime Twist and Granny Apple Green for inks. 

I then arranged the flowers/leaves onto a Basic White Cardstock layer that was embossed using the Crosshatch Embossing Folder (Basics 3D Embossing Folder-online exclusive).  The Happy Birthday Sentiment is from the new Saying Something Epherma Pack in the NEW Annual Catalog.  Three Iridescent Foil Gems were added to the centers of 3 flowers to add interest.

Monday Montage #257

Hey there stampin' friends! It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Today I am sharing a card created using the Beach Day Bundle and some of the new 2024-2026 In Colors.  

The card base was created using the new 2024-2026 In Color Summer Splash.  Isn't the Summer Splash color fabulous?  It coordinates nicely with so many colors!  The sky background was created by using a Blending Brush and Balmy Blue ink.  The palm trees were both watercolored several times using Shaded Spruce and Pecan Pie Inks.  

As you can see from the picture, the palm trees are also 3 dimensional.  They were popped up using Mini Stampin' Dinensionals and placed in between pieces of Crumb Cake Cardstock which has been torn to represent sand.  

The 3 surfboards were created using the new 2024-2026 In Color DSP.  I used Summer Splash, Pretty In Pink and Peach Pie.  The sentiment  Wishing You A Beautiful Day sentiment was stamped  in Versamark Ink and heat embossed using White Stampin' Emboss Powder.  To finish the card off- I used 3 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems.

Monday Montage #256

 

Hey there stampin' friends! It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Today I am sharing a card created using different products from the Perennial Lavender Suite Collection.   This gorgeous Suite Collection can be found in the Mini Catalog.  

To create this card- I cut a series of banners and overlapped them in the middle.  I used the Perennial Lavender Dies to cut out some foliage using Pretty Peacock Cardstock.  The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Basic White Cardstock and then stamped using a floral image from the Painted  Lavender Stamp Set. The Butterfly die cut is from the Paper Butterfly Accents and was inked using a Blending Brush and some Fresh Freesia ink.  A few Purple Fine Shimmer Gems finish the look.

TGIF Challenges #461

 

Hi stampin' friends!  Today I'm playing along with the Designers at TGIF Challenges.  Our challenge this week is an inspiration challenge.  I chose to use the flowers and congratulations for my card.  

This card was created by embossing a piece of Vellum Cardstock using the Layered Florals 3D Embossing Folder.  I then colored the flowers from the reverse side using Stampin' Blends.  I used a combination of Soft Seafood, Melon Mambo, Bubble Bath, Lemon Lolly and Flirty Flamingo.  After all the images were colored in I adhered it to a layer of Basic White Cardstock.

I stamped the Congratulations sentiment in Flirty Flamingo Ink and stamped it onto a Flirty Flamingo Cardstock scrap.  I embellished the card using a double Linen Thread bow and some Iridescent Foil Gems.
