Heartwarming Hugs for You ~ Monday Montage

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

I'll admit...I was feeling a little down last week and totally missing out on seeing all of my stampin' friends at OnStage.  When I found out that OnStage was going to be virtual and I wasn't going to be able to go to SLC, I booked a house in Pacific City and invited our very own Wendy Weixler to join me!  We may have missed out on OnStage, but we are living the beach life and loving it right now!

Along with feeling a little down, I was also in a bit of a stamping slump.  When that happens, I always turn to the catalog for some inspiration or to just simply CASE something that I love.  I love the Heartwarming Hugs Suite and the samples in the mini catalog were just the CASEing inspiration I needed!

I have had a stash of the Mini Paper Pumpkin boxes sitting in my craft room for months and decided it was finally time to put them to use!  I dressed it up in a pretty pattern of Heartwarming Hugs DSP, some Real Red Braided Linen Thread and a fun little Gold Hoop wreath with a sweet little sentiment.  A little tiny Warm Hugs Christmas tree was the perfect little addition!

Next up is a sweet and simple card that was created in a jiffy, thanks to the handy-dandy Stamparatus.  I was able to stamp the NOEL sentiment on the banner, layer it up with a few patterns of Heartwarming Hugs DSP and wrapped it all up with the Real Red Braided Linen Thread.  I added a glittery Glitter Star Ornament and a few Clear Epoxy Droplets and called it good!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Real Red, Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz, Heartwarming Hugs DSP

Ink ~ Mossy Meadow, Pear Pizzazz

Stamp Sets ~ Wrapped In Christmas, Warm Hugs

Other Supplies ~ Warm Wraps Dies, Real Red Braided Linen Trim, Gold Hoops, Glitter Star Ornaments, Frosted & Clear Epoxy Droplets, Wonderful Gems, Mini Paper Pumpkin Box

Wendy and I, along with my little side-kick Owen, still have 2 more full days on the Oregon Coast and I can't wait to see what kind of fun comes our way!

Thanks for stopping by today!  Now, on to the next stop on the hop!

Happy Stamping!

Cozy Christmas Circles ~ #TGIFC288

Hooray!  It's Designer Take Over at TGIF Challenges with Tammy Wilson of Stamps, Paper, Scissors and we are going in circles!

 

I'm pretty sure my circle dies are my most used, so this challenge was right up my alley! 

It has been FREEZING cold here, which left me searching for all things warm and cozy this week.  That included all things in my craft room too!  The Warm Hugs Bundle was just what I needed to cozy up and get warm!

These adorable little mugs, candy canes and Christmas Trees are just too cute!  So cute, in fact, that I decided to make a little wreath with them to go around the "Eat, Drink And Be Cozy" sentiment.  I love this festive circle of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper too!

There are lots of cozy textures in this card too...The Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders and Dainty Diamonds 3D Embossing folder work so well together!  I wrapped all of the circles up with a bit of the Real Red Braided Linen Trim.  I love this stuff!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Whisper White, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Heartwarming Hugs DSP

Ink ~ Real Red, Coastal Cabana, Granny Apple Green, Memento

Stamp Set ~ Warm Hugs

Other Supplies ~ Warm Wraps Dies, Wrapped in Texture Embossing Folders, Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder, Real Red Braided Linen Thread

Are you ready to create in circles with us this week?  We always love to see what you create!

Happy Stamping!
