Here we are again with the Monday Montage Hop! I FINALLY cleaned out my “holiday explosion” in the craft room and have some space to create!
I had a friend request that I make a card for someone in her family who lost a spouse. She asked if I had anything with a “wine glass” … which I did not!! Thank heavens that Bree (fellow-Monday-Montager Bree Renwick) had the retired “Brewed for You” set and sent me some assorted wine glasses! YAY!
I used the Lasting Linen background stamp inked with Berry Burst for the backdrop. I also added a little panel of vellum that I cut using the Perennial Postage Dies.
I also added some flowers using the Petals of Beauty Dies.
Up close you can see that I dripped some water onto this card (on purpose, I promise!).
I used a waterbrush and some Berry Burst ink to drop some water … mostly on the vellum panel.
I also added some little Lemon Lolly flowers that I centered with some retired pink pearl embellishments.
The sentiment was made using the Thoughtful Moments Dies/Embossing Folder and then sponged with more Berry Burst Ink.
Stamps: Brewed for You, Lasting Linen Paper: Basic White, Lemon Lolly, Vellum
Ink: Berry Burst, Memento Black Accessories: Petals of Beauty Dies, Perennial Postage Dies, Thoughtful Moments Dies/Embossing Folder, Wink of Stella, Blooming Pearls (retired), White Baker’s Twine
I neeeeed to get back on track with making and posting cards … Christmas threw me WAAAYYY off! I have missed playing in my craft room!

Here we are again with the Monday Montage Hop! I FINALLY cleaned out my “holiday explosion” in the craft room and have some space to create!
I used a card posted by my fellow-Monday-Montage-r and friend, Elizabeth Price. I changed the layout a bit and used a different stamp set, but the idea is basically hers … isn’t it pretty??
The Country Woods DSP has been my most favorite DSP in the last couple of years … I’ve dressed it up, down and sideways!!
The image and sentiment, from Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels, were stamped with Early Espresso and colored using my Stampin’ Blends - Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie.
I used an old paper crimper (I know many of you have these still!) to add even more texture to the background (just like Elizabeth’s card!).
I added a layer of vellum (YAY for its return!) using the Everyday Arches Dies, plus accented the whole thing with a little Crumb Cake lattice shape and some gold brushed butterflies.
Stamps: Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Country Woods DSP

I need to share my Christmas card (so happy I had them mailed the week BEFORE Christmas instead of the week AFTER). And … true confessions … I used stamps and dies that are NOT from Stampin’ Up (as JanTink would call it, “rubbahdultery”!).

Happy Monday Montage Day!! I had to get up extra early this morning to make the card I had picture in my head to share this week. Between Thanksgiving, putting up Christmas decorations and working on my Christmas card (I make 100 of them!) I have been SUPER busy … not to mention trying to do some shopping as well!
EVERY dang thing in the Brushed with Beauty Suite is STELLAR!! I am in love with ALL of it!!
I used items from the Petals of Beauty Bundle (stamps and dies) to create this card.
First I stamped the flower images using Cherry Cobbler Ink. I then cut out the coordinating flower die in both Real Red and Very Vanilla.
The greenery dies were cut out of Shaded Spruce.
I pulled out my trusty old Simply Scored Board to add some dimension to the background with some horizontal and vertical scored lines.
And how can I do anything “Christmas-y” without the flickers of snow?? I used both Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to flick some fun onto the background.
The sentiment was just stamped with Cherry Cobbler and fussy cut.
Stamps: Petals of Beauty, Delicate Pines (sentiment) Paper: Very Vanilla, Real Red, Shaded Spruce
Ink: Cherry Cobbler; Stampin’ Blends - Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Old Olive Accessories: Petals of Beauty Dies, Simply Scored, Gold Dots (retired)
Two more weeks until Christmas (more or less) … who’s ready??? I have always dreamed about being one of “those” people who had everything done by Thanksgiving … HAHAHAHAHA!!!

As I sit here in my green and white striped sweatshirts that says the word “jolly” in bright, bold red lettering, I am finally giving into the holiday season … which is perfect since this month’s Stampin’ Fancy Friday Challenge is “Holly Jolly Christmas”!
Nothing evokes the spirit of a holly jolly Christmas quite like a winter white snowstorm, so that is where I got my inspiration!
I stamped several snowflakes from Delicate Pines in Versamark on some Basic White cardstock. After heat setting them with White Embossing Powder, I used my Blending Brushes to smooth some color over them from top to bottom - Balmy Blue, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party.
.
You know me … a little color flicking with some Pretty Peacock Stampin’ Blends, plus some water droplets added with the help of my trusty Water Brushes and my background was set!!
I cut out the backdrop with an Everyday Arches Die and then split it into five horizontal pieces.
The easy part was adding the snowflakes I cut using the Delicate Pines Dies … the top one is also brushed a splattered with a little ink.
Lastly, a few Low Profile Sparkle Dots (my new “go to”) finished it up. Except for the sentiment, which I stamped in Pretty Peacock and then just did a little fussy cutting around.
Stamps: Delicate Pines Paper: Pool Party, Pretty Peacock, Basic White
Ink: Pretty Peacock, Pool Party, Mint Macaron, Versamark Accessories: Delicate Pines Dies, Everyday Arches Dies, Low Profile Sparkle Dots
It’s two more days until Thanksgiving here in the good ol’ U-S of A. Which means the cooking will most definitely be starting TODAY!! My favorite part of Thanksgiving is being with family … but the food is a close second!
Isn’t this photo sooooooo gorgeous??? I love it! I knew immediately when I received the 3D Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder in a box of goodies a few days ago that I would DEFINITY be using it for this week’s TGIF Challenge!
I had soooooo much fun making this one! After using the Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder on some watercolor paper, I pulled out a bunch of ink pads and started working on it!
I feel sooooo fancy … looks like I can actually watercolor (kinda) with t his one!!
The sentiment panel was made using the More Than Autumn Stamps and Dies (three layers of cardstock on the “season”!).
I made the accent behind the “season” with a die from Sentimental Framing … all in all I am VERY happy with how this one turned out!.
Paper: Watercolor Paper, Basic White, Pretty Peacock, Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Berry Burst, Blackberry Bliss, Balmy Blue, Blueberry Bushel, Pretty Peacock Accessories: 3D Traditional Wreath Embossing Folder, More Than Autumn Dies, Sentimental Framing Dies, Water Painter, Gold Striped 3/8” Mesh Ribbon
Well … looks like we are going into the holidays full force starting this weekend!! LOTS of family get togethers and MANY Christmas projects are on the horizon!
We’d love to have you play along!! You can check us out our blog HERE and Instagram … lots of great inspiration from the rest of the TGIF Crew!
