Beautifully Happy Sale-a-Bration

It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop and we're so happy to have you hop along with us!

I'm soaking up every last moment of Sale-a-Bration with today's cards. I paired up Beautifully Happy with two of my favorite Sale-a-Bration DSP's...Dandy Designs and  Favored Flowers.  

Isn't it so cool to see how different two cards can be when you use the same stamp set and sketch, but totally different DSP?!?

I used Fresh Freesia and Granny Apple Green for these Beautifully Happy blooms.  I fussy cut the image, cutting off one of the leaves and stem.  The fun and cheerful patterns of Dandy Designs makes this an extra happy Happy Birthday card!

I pulled Calypso Coral and Mossy Meadow from the Favored Flowers DSP to create more of a elegant chic feel for this next card.

Don't stop here...keep on hopping to see what Cathy of Sugar Shack Designs has to share with us.

Or if you missed Wendy of Wickedly Wonderful Creations, hop on back to check out what she has for us!

Happy Stamping!

A Day at the Farm

Happy Wednesday friends!  Are you ready for a Day at the Farm?  This DSP is the cutest and FULL of fun images that are just begging to be fussy cut.  I spent some time cutting these farm critters out a few weeks ago...

...and this weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge was perfect way to put them to use!

The rolling hills pattern is just what all of these grazing farm animals needed!  With a little splash of Daffodil Delight strips and Balmy Blue flowers, it really does feel like the perfect spring day on the farm!

I love this simple Hello There sentiment from Full of Love!  That little sentiment was the only stamping required.  I love it when the DSP can steal the show!

Dainty, Kind and Sincere

Happy Monday stampers!  I hope you all had a wonderful weekend! And to those of us who have the honor of an extra day off on this MLK Jr. Day, I hope your day is filled with something crafty.

I am enjoying a slow, quiet morning with some coffee and cards.  I opened up the beautiful Dainty Flowers DSP from the Sale-A-Bration catalog and paired it up with the Kind & Sincere stamp set.  I love the bright, bold colors of these dainty little flowers!

The first card I kept pretty simple, using the DSP pattern with the pretty oval wreath of flowers.  There are enough of these patterns in the pack to make 12 cards like this...perfect for a card class!  I stamped the Thanks from Kind & Sincere and fussy cut it.  So Very Much was embossed on a piece of Rich Razzleberry and die-cut with Stitched Rectangles.  A Linen Thread faux-bow and a few little Brushed Brass Butterflies finished the card off.

I stepped things up a bit with the next card, fussy cutting the string of flowers from the same pattern of DSP as the oval floral wreath...not wasting one single bit of this DSP!  This time I stamped Congratulations, again in Rich Razzleberry and fussy cutting it out. To You was embossed on Rich Razzleberry and die-cut with the little banner from Stylish Shapes Dies.  Another Linen Thread faux-bow and some butterflies completed this card.

The final card is another beautiful pattern of DSP full of so many pretty colors! I fussy cut around the tops of the flowers then popped them up on a Basic White card base.  Thanks for Being So was embossed on Rich Razzleberry and Kind was stamped and fussy cut.  I tucked a little piece of an Old Olive pattern of DSP behind the Kind to help it stamped out a little bit more.  I skipped the Linen Thread on this one, but added more of the Brushed Brass Butterflies.  I love these pretty little embellishments!

I'm not sure what the rest of our day will bring, but I'm going to take advantage of a bit more time in my craft room before my youngest wakes up with plans of some sort of adventure on our day off.

Happy Stamping!

Hoot, Hoot, Hello!

Welcome to the first TGIF Challenges Color Challenge of 2023!  We're so excited to kick off another year of creating!

This month's Color Challenge was meant for the Adorable Owls stamp set, available now in the Sale-a-Bration catalog! 

Using my Water Painters and some Shimmery White Cardstock, I painted a Balmy Blue Background. The Apple Blossoms Dies were too perfect not to use for this adorable little owl! You can still snag these dies from Clearance...don't miss out!

Some Early Espresso tree branches and Polished Pink flowers have me longing for spring days again! The Timber 3D embossing folder added just the right amount of texture and just a bit of bling comes from the 2021-2023 In Color Opal Rounds.

I hope you'll join along in the colorful fun this week!

Happy Stamping!
