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

This week I am pulling together cards for an upcoming craft fair. I’ve got just under two weeks to get things in order. Make, make, make!

I have an assortment of die cuts sitting around on my desk so I threw a few together to create this card. This card is super simple and I have just realized has NO stamping. Oops. That’s not typical for me. I love stamping. Ah well. It is still cute. The die cuts look beautiful on top of a simple watercolor wash. This is a super simple card to make and comes together quickly. That fun embossed background pushes this simple card up a notch by adding some much needed texture. See a full list of supplies below.

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? Next up is Cheryl. Be sure to loop through the entire hop and see all of the amazing artwork created just to inspire! Thanks for stopping by.

Hello friends and Happy New Year! For me, 2019 is about trying new things. Particularly in my crafting. Have you ever made a Bendi card? This is MY FIRST attempt at a Bendi card. Honestly, I didn't know what a Bendi card was. I had to do a little research, gotta love google images. A Bendi card is basically a card with two flaps that interlock to create a rounded bend fold. The card can be closed flat and mailed in a standard envelope. Once I understood what I was making I set to create a template. I like to make the majority of my cards portrait orientation. Using one sheet of 8.5 x 11 paper you can create two bendi 4.25 x 5.5 cards. Download this template if you like my design.

This card features all sorts of fun new products available NOW in the new Occasions Catalog and as part of Saleabration promotion. The beautiful papers on this card come from the Botanical Butterfly Designer Series papers. The small colorful butterfly has been punched from the papers using the Butterfly Duet punch. And the intricate butterflies that have been die cut in white are created using the Butterfly Beauty Thinlet dies. A full list of supplies can be found at the end of this post.

Many of my crafty friends on this hop will have videos showing how they created their bendi cards. These are excellent resources if are are in the market to create a bendi card for yourself..
