Monday Montage 162 - Beauty Abounds

April 12, 2020

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

Does this card look a little familiar? It might. That would be because I used all sort of scraps from a card I made last week for TGIF Challenges to create this baby. Do you every do that? I usually stamp a couple of the same sentiment, and have multiples of die cuts and other pieces left over from a cardmaking session. Today I sorted through those pieces and put them together to create this card!

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.

Beauty Abounds - Stamp Review Crew

April 14, 2019

Hello and welcome to the Beauty Abounds edition of Stamp Review Crew. This hop will be all about the Butterflies! The Beauty Abound stamp set and dies include the most beautiful images of butterflies. As I begin to write this post I noticed I didn’t use many stamps from the set, instead the butterfly die is the primary focus. The dies are fantastic and help make a stunning card every time!

The background on this card is a fun and messy watercolor using BRIGHT Granny Apple Green and Crushed Curry ink. Speaking of watercolor … I want to send out a BIG THANK YOU to all the fantastic folks that attended the watercolor technique class Jenny and I hosted Friday in Atlantic City. It was a true pleasure to meet you all.

Below are a few other cards I’ve created using the Beauty Abounds stamp set and dies… These cards use more than stamps than just the HELLO sentiment. Lol.

Thanks for stopping by and for taking the time to comment. I love to hear from you! Up Next is my talented friend Jenny Hall!

Fancy Friday Blog Hop - Beauty Abounds - Case the Catty

March 28, 2019

Hello friends! We are CASING the catty for this Fancy Friday blog hop. What does that mean? Basically we are choosing a project from one of the Stampin’ Up! catalogs (aka catty) to CASE and make our own.

FIRST: what does CASE stand for in the card making and scrapbooking world? We use this term a LOT and there are various interpretations. I thought I’d share my opinion, for what it is worth. Do you have a different definition? Please SHARE! I’d love to hear it.

C.A.S.E:

Copy And Share Everything
Copy And Selectively Edit
Copying Another Scrapper's Efforts.

I chose to COPY AND SELECTIVELY EDIT this watercolor rainbow project shown on page 13 of the Stampin’ Up! Occasions catalog.

What is the etiquette when CASEing? Inspiration is everywhere, right? Us paper crafters are all swimming in the same pool and drinking the same craft Kool aid. It can be HARD to know what is an original idea and what should be credited, especially when projects are “inspired” by another. In the legal world I am sure there is some percentage of a work that has to be changed to be considered original. I am not sure what that % is but my rule of thumb is give credit whenever you can. If there is any question, the answer is likely credit. And why not, promote others and further the craft!

My card pulls many of the same elements and techniques together as the card on page 13 but I love how different if ended up becoming. I chose to watercolor the background using three colors. I wanted the paper butterflies to really stand out against the colored background so I die cut them from Whisper White card stock. I stacked the sentiment in a similar fashion and heat embossed the words so add a little texture. What do you think? Pretty cool card that ended up looking quite different from the inspiration.

Are you ready to see more catalog CASE inspiration? If you are traveling this hop in order you just arrived from my sweet friend Lauren. Next up is the uber talented Sue.

Thanks for stopping by. Blogs are strange because it’s not as easy to interact with each other as it is on various social media sites. Please know I appreciate you and your lovely comments. (heart, heart, heart) Charlet
