Monday Montage 163 - Ornate Style Birthday Card

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

I’m making birthday cards this week. This card uses the Well Written dies and the Ornate Style stamp set.

I am trying to get better at mailing cards ahead of birthdays. For this I need a plan (AND CARDS). I’m thinking a monthly sit down to write and address cards might be the ticket. Do you have a system? I’d love to hear what works for you.

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.

TGIF Challenges: TGIFC261 - Product Inspiration Challenge Die Cut words

TGIF Challenge has a great product showcase challenge this week … die cut words.

I love word and letter die cuts. They are such a great way to add a large and unique sentiment to a card. The Welcome Baby sentiment on this card comes from the Well Written dies. The flowers are stamped from the Ornate Style stamp set. I’ve chopped up the larger flower image to create this smaller version.The flowers have been heat embossing using gold emboss powder and colored using Stampin’ Blends.

Coranatimes … It’s a tough time to have a baby. We have many friends and family who are expecting right now. I can only imagine the added stress of delivering in this environment. The joy of new life is so wonderful and full of such promise. Hopefully this card brings a little bright spot to the parents as well.

Global Design Project - GDP237 - Color Challenge - Butterfly Gala & Gallery Grunge

Hello! Ready for a color challenge this week? How will you use these three colors? I’ve used the Night of Navy as my ‘black’ and the Melon Mambo and Mint Macaron play well off each other as complimentary colors. See that little bit of shimmer on the butterfly body? Crystal effects!

Bonanza Buddies - Stamp Review Crew

Hiya friends. This SRC hop is all about Bonanza Buddies. Do you have this set? There are some seriously cute projects that have been made with this set.

I created two birthday cards using colors of the rainbow. This adorable Koala is my favorite animal from the set. He is holding candles on this first card.

On my second card he invited a bunch of friends to have a party, complete with party hats.

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!

Ready for more inspiration using this stamp set? Next up is Betty. 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.
