Kind People

We're back with an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  Hop along with us and get your fill of creative inspiration!

I pulled out a favorite stamp set from the Annual Catalog that I haven't used in a while.  I forgot just how beautiful Simply Succulents stamp set it, especially paired up with the coordinating Potted Succulents Dies.

Soft Sea Foam, Fresh Freesia, Parakeet Party, Calypso Coral, Old Olive and Soft Succulent added some beautiful color to these desert plants, complete with a Smoky Slate Pot.

The delicate succulent die is gorgeous!  I stared out with white on white, but ended up tucking a piece of Soft Succulent in between for just a bit more color.  

I'm think I'm going to have to play with this stamp set a bit more before I put it away!

Hop on over to the next blog...

...or take a step back! 

Either way, make your way all the way through!

Happy Stamping!

Simply Extraordinary Succulents

Happy Tuesday stampin' friends!  We have an all new Inspiration Challenge for you over at Hand Stamped Sentiments.  I don't know about you, but I LOVE cacti and succulents!  

I was inspired to ink up and color the beautiful Simply Succulents stamp set...because you all know that coloring is my jam! I pulled colors from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley for all of the different succulents.  I was going to add the little pot as well, but liked them all on their own.

I stamped the the Birch background in Smoky Slate, then added a Brick & Mortar frame.  The succulents were added, along with an EXTRAORDINARY sentiment, which I fussy cut and broke apart across the card.  A simple little Calypso Coral Linen Thread from the Flowering Cactus Product Medley was the perfect final touch. 

Once again, I am reminded of summer with this stamp set.  I can't wait to see how my succulent garden faired the winter weather.  I'm crossing my fingers that they all survived!

Have a great day!

Happy Stamping!

Butterflies On My Mind

I'm dreaming of butterflies and warm spring days...as I watch the snow get deeper and deeper by the hour!

Happy Friday friends!  Snow has finally arrived...just a little late this year.  I'm usually not a big fan of the snow, but I am enjoying it at the moment.  I'll get back to you in a few days and let you know if I'm still enjoying it!  What I am enjoying even more is a little extra time in my craft room today, especially since my Butterfly Bouquet preorder arrived this week!  This gorgeous bundle will be available to customers March 2 - May 3 2021.

Inspired by all of the amazing Artisan Design Team projects created with this bundle and this weeks Freshly Made Sketches sketch challenge.

I inked up half of the Butterfly Brilliance stamp in Calypso Coral and stamped it on a piece of the Butterfly Bijou Designer Series Paper.  The beautiful butterflies were also die cut from the Butterfly Bijou.  You can cut out 6 butterflies all at one time from a sheet of DSP...it is AMAZING!!!

I cut a few little strips of other patterns of DSP, added a simple sentiment from Simply Succulents and a sweet little Linen Thread bow.  And of course I finished it off with bit of Artistry Blooms sequins!

I can't wait to share this beautiful bundle with my class next month.  They are all going to LOVE it!

I hope you all have a fantastic Friday!

Happy Stamping!
