Merry Monday Trees for Sale

 Monday is almost over, but I can't let it get away without sharing a Merry Monday card with you!  It's been a crazy day getting back on track after being gone for OnStage in Anaheim, but I think I'm about caught up!

I've been playing along with the #30DayChristmasCardMakingChallenge and today's challenge was Step into Christmas.  For me, it always feels like the Christmas season is officially here when Klickers Tree stand opens up for the season.  Their beautiful little tree farm was inspiration behind today's card.

I used the Trees for Sale stamp set to create a mini tree lot, complete with festive Solid Faceted Gem lights.  Aren't those lights the cutest?  Those cute little gems helped me to dust off my pack of Melon Mambo card stock for the sentiment.  It's been so long since I've used this color, but you can be sure I'll be using it again soon!

You are also getting a sneak peek of a brand new stamp set, Hand Drawn Dots from the January-April 2023 Mini Catalog.  These dots stamped in Whisper White on Night of Navy reminded me of falling snow.  There will be so many great uses for this awesome new background stamp.

Happy Stamping!

Camping Season ~ Monday Montage Blog Hop

 

Welcome to another fabulous Monday Montage Blog Hop!  We are here this holiday weekend to share more of our creative projects with all of you...so hop along and enjoy!

It's camping season for our family, which inspired this Christmas campout scene with the adorable new Trees for Sale Stamp set and coordinating Sale-A-Bration Tree Lot Dies.

Most of our camping takes place in the mountains, so a Mountain Air {stamp set} mountain range seemed fitting.  I stamped the mountains in Pacific Point, layering them on a Pacific Point Stylish Shapes circle.

Some pine trees in shades of Granny Apple Green and Shaded Spruce were tucked in behind a Pool Party and Whisper White camper.  I dressed the camper up just a bit with a cute little wreath.  A few Whisper White snowflakes gave the card a bit more of a winter feel and the Polished Pink sentiment tied all of the colors from the polka dot Celebrate Everything DSP.  So cute!

As I mentioned earlier, most of our camping takes place in the mountains, but this summer we are camping near the baseball fields as my youngest plays his way though the Allstar games.  Not quite the same as the mountains, but beats staying in a hotel any day!

Check out the next stop in the hop, or hop on back to the previous stop.  Either way, close the loop and check them all out!

Happy Stamping!

Happy Camper Christmas

Welcome to another fun and fabulous TGIF Challenges! This week we are playing with the Tone on Tone technique.

My original plan was to do something along the monochromatic lines, but after unboxing the adorable Trees for Sale stamp set and coordinating Sale-a-Bration Tree Lot Dies, I came up with a new game plan!

I started by creating a Pool Party sky with the Blending Brushes, adding some Pool Party snow flakes.  Next came a wintery Smoky Slate ground, complete with a cute little Smoky Slate pup and paw prints!

The trees were stamped in Granny Apple Green on Granny Apple Green and tucked behind the cutest little Polished Pink camper! And I can't forget the string of lights...all tone on tone, of course.

This was such a fun challenge to use these adorable soon-to-be-available products with!  I can't wait to see what everyone else has in store with this Tone on Tone Technique.

Happy Stamping!
