Monday Montage 150 - Free as a Bird Birthday card

October 20, 2019

The Montage Montage crew is back today to share what we are working on.

Short & sweet post today. I’m back to making birthday cards and preparing swaps for OnStage For those who might be new here, OnStage is Stampin’ Up! convention and swaps are when we get together and swap card ideas. I have yet to come up with a good swap card but I did make this fun birthday card.

I have a bird loving friend who was having a birthday so I was in need of a special card for her. I love how the birds colored in Pool Party look against the Pretty Peacock plaid. These birds are colored using Stampin’ Blends, my favorite markers! Sweet and simple card for a sweet and simple post. Thanks for stopping by.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher, the Montage gals host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl.

Still Scenes - Stamp Review Crew

October 20, 2019

Welcome to the Still Scenes Edition of Stamp Review Crew.

I took a fairly traditional and classic approach to my card this week. Basically stamped the images and set in the snow globe. Anyone can make this set look fantastic!

I love the look of metallics on white. The stamped images have all been heat set with gold emboss powder. The base of this snow globe was colored slightly using shades of gray Stampin’ Blends. The snowy sequins also bring in bits of silver to help push that metallic look.

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Jay. Be sure to go through the hop to see what ALL my talented friends have created using this set. Thanks in advance for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you.

What is the Stamp Review Crew? We are an international group of paper crafters that get together to feature and review a single Stampin’ Up! stamp set on the first and third Monday of each month. All of our previous stamp set reviews are archived. Click here to see all of the hops!

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC234 - Theme - Halloween - Spooktacular Bash

October 19, 2019

I’m a tiny bit late to this weeks TGIF Challenge but I had to jump in … one word, HALLoWEEN! Ha, if you know me well you know I love all things Halloween. Decorating, the costumes, the crafting and the treats.

This card pulls in a few experiments and TRICKS. I’ve been playing around a bit with Alcohol inks lately. The Purple background was an experiment using a current and purple alcohol ink on Yupo paper. It instantly reminded me of a spooky potion so I knew I needed to turn it into a card. The black background features Black Glitter embossing powder. I used a new stencil mask with versa mark to create the pattern. It adds a nice bit of texture and sparkle to an otherwise black sheet of cardstock. The experiments in the tiny jars have been colored using Stampin’ Blends.

The stamp set is called Spooktacular Bash! Full supplies are found below.

Play along with us! Check out the TGIFChallenges Blog for more details. Tag your projects #tgifc234 so we are sure to see them.

Global Design Project - Sketch Challenge - GDP211 - Sip Sip Hooray

October 14, 2019

Here’s a fun and unique wedding card to celebrate a happy couple. This card was created for Global Design Project sketch challenge 211. #gdp211

Have you ever made your own custom color of embossing paste? This was my first attempt and it was super easy to do. All it takes is adding a little drop of ink refill to Shimmery Embossing paste and mixing with a palette knife. I used Petal Pink. I like how the Polka Dots mimic the champagne bubbles. The stamp set is called Sip Sip Hooray!

Alright. Ready to see more wedding inspired cards? Check out the Global Design Project blog for more projects and details on how to play along. If you make a project be sure to tag your project #gdp211 so we can see your work!
