Monday Montage 239 - Zany Zoo

July 2, 2023

Hello friends! Welcome to a Monday Montage blog hop where I am playing with the Zany Zoo stamp set. I created my own little scene on this card using the crocdile and the balloons from the racoon image. I’ve been having so much fun with those balloons.

The Monday Montage crew is a talented bunch. A quick refresher: we host a blog hop every other Monday showing you fun and exciting Stampin’ Up! products. We are all working on so many varied projects and I’m sure the Montage team has loads to inspire you with.

Ready for more Stampin’ Up! inspiration? Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing projects created just to inspire! Next up is Cheryl Curtis.. Thanks for stopping by.

Global Design Project 400 - CASE the founders

June 26, 2023

Hello friends. Welcome to Global Design Project challenge #gdp400. 400TH CHALLENEGE?!!! Can you believe it? We are so excited to celebrate this big milestone by CASEing the original creators of the Global Design Project. I decided to CASE a little bit from both Kylie and Louise’s projects with my two projects. Both of their cards feature blending in some form. I used blending on my projects to create the background using Pool Party, Lost Lagoon and Pretty Peacock. The flowers are stamped and blended. I pulled in pink on the flowers for Louise and the half and half look from Kylie's project on my tag. Play along with us! CASE or be inspired by either project from Kylie or Louise and tag us #gdp400.

Crafty Carrot - July guest designer featuring Zany Zoo!

June 25, 2023

I am super excited to join the Crafty Carrot team as their guest designer for July! We are featuring a bunch of fun projects using the Zany Zoo bundle. There will be tips, video tutorials and more! Sign up for July’s clases now. Visit the Crafty Carrot Collective for more information.

This fun card used the sweet raccoon image from teh stamp set. I altered the image a bit by masking and cutting the tail. See more infromation about this project below and in my reels. See you over at Crafty Carrot soon!

Get more from your stamp images by masking. Create a larger balloon bouquet by inking only the balloons and repeat stamping the balloon image over the mask.

1. Stamp the entire balloon raccoon image onto a PostIt note (x2) and cut out as close to the image line as possible. This will serve as a mask. You will need two masks.

2. Ink the balloon portion of the raccoon image. Stamp the balloon portion onto a piece of Basic White cardstock.

3. Cover balloon stamped imaged with first mask. Repeat step two, arrange balloons to the left side of center balloons and stamp again.

4. Cover both balloon stamped images with both masks. Repeat step two, arrange balloons to the right side of center balloons and stamp again. Repeat masking until you have desired balloon bouquet size.

Hello Gourd-geous, and happy September! The first day of fall is still a few weeks away, but it sure does feel like fall here in Maine. The mornings are chilly and crisp, and you can just smell fall in the air. The Global Design Project has a “Harvest” theme challenge this week. #GDP563 The deer have been eating their way through my garden harvest, but I did manage to get a couple of zucchini last week. Bread will be baked. Since my garden is a bust, I guess I’ll have to garden by card! Stamp set is called Painted Pumpkins. Play along with with our harvest theme: @global_design_project #stampinup #cardmaker #paintedpumpkins #pumpkincard

Scraps off the desk... don’t chuck them. Use them up. I gathered a bunch of random extras and discarded pieces cluttering up my desk. I started this card by cleaning, and that quickly led to distraction and cardmaking. I had an entire floral garden of extra die-cut flowers (from the Detailed Flora dies) in pinks, corals, and reds, and apparently the best way to clean them up was to use them up. Haha. Method? Madness? Either way, my desk is a little cleaner and I have a new card to show for it. See what my crafty friends are creating this week for Monday Montage Insta Hop. Next up is Cheryl @nukumach1 - Here's a full list of who is hopping today: Anja @1stampingnightowl Bree @craftsomnia Charlet @i.heart.stamps - ME!
