Just Kiddin' Around

 

It's time for another fabulous Monday Montage Blog hop! Hop along with us and see what we all have to share!

I absolutely adore the Just Kiddin' DSP!  I have so many fun projects in mind with all of these cute kiddos, especially for all of my teacher friends!

This sweet little popcorn-eating-book-worm went along perfectly with the bucket of popcorn from Carnival Treats.  And what do you do when you can't find the perfect sentiment?  You make your own!  I snipped and pieced together a sentiment from Fun on Wheels, along with POPPIN' from the Mini Alphabet Dies for something fun and punny!

I love the imagination that is pouring out of this sweet girl! There is something magical about kids imaginations, which inspired the sentiment for this next card.

I love the sweet simplicity of these cards!  Nothing but ink, paper and stamps. Oh, and a few embellishments!

Next up is my friend Charlet.  You are going to love what she has to share with us!

Happy Stamping!

Fruity Fresh Colors

Welcome to this month's TGIF Challenges Color Challenge!  We have some bright, cheerful and fruity colors for you to play along with this week.

I thought these colors would be fun to use with the Planted Paradise stamped set.  Take a peek below and let me know what you think!

I inked the pots up in Berry Burst and Blueberry Bushel and added some Lemon Lime Twist plants to each pot.  And since it's spring time here, I had to add a few Berry Burst Butterflies as well!

I used the Softly Said stamp set for a Just Because sentiment...because you can never have too many Just Because cards on hand!  I love the little circle image in Planted Paradise.  It makes for a quick and easy background!

See what the rest of the design team has to share this week and be sure to join in the fun!

Country Woods Birdhouse

Welcome to another fabulous Hand Stamped Sentiments Inspiration Challenge.  This challenge is full of cheerful spring-inspired images that are full of creative inspiration.

I ordered the Country Woods Suite Collection after OnStage and the cute little birdhouse from the Country Birdhouse bundle was perfect for this challenge!

.

I love that you can either stamp and die-cut the birdhouse or you can build your own birdhouse with the additional dies.  I chose to build my own, using paper from both Country Woods and Country Lace DSP.  The striped Country Lace pattern in the background is my favorite!

I stamped the bird and floral images from Country Birdhouse and colored them with Calypso Coral and Soft Sea Foam Stampin' Blends.  The sweet birdie was colored with Boho Blue, Pool Party and Pecan Pie.  The Country Flower dies helps to add some extra foliage and flowers as well.  The Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls are so pretty!  They filled the center of each flower with just the right amount of shimmer. A simple Hello Friend sentiment finished this sweet little card.  Oh, and I can't forget the adorable hanging bow at the top of the bird house!

All of these items will be available with the launch of the new catalog on May 1, 2024.  This will be a suite you want to add to your collection for sure!

Happy Stamping!

Simple Sweetness Gift Set

Hip, hip, hooray...it's Friday!  And since there are FIVE Friday's this month, TGIF Challenges has a bonus challenge for us.  This weeks challenge is to create a simple gift set of cards.

The Kraft Note Cards & Envelopes are always something that I have on hand and they happed to be perfect to pair up with the stamps, dies and DSP from the Nature's Sweetness suite.  I wrapped the four cards up with some of the beautiful Pecan Pie Center Strip Ribbon and secured a sweet little tag with a piece of Linen Thread. 

I mixed and matched some different patterns of the Nature's Sweetness DSP for each card and added a different sentiment to each one.

This was a great way to use up some of this beautiful DSP before it officially retires. I have enough to make a few more of these gift sets, which would be the perfect Mother's Day gift!

Now it's your turn!  Create you own simple gift card set and share what you have created with us!

Happy Stamping!

Citrus Blooms Sneak Peek

During OnStage in Houston, attendees had the opportunity to participate in a stamping after hours event.  We got to choose our stamp sets ahead of time and we were given all of the other needed supplies to make some amazing samples.  I was reminded that I am NOT a late night stamper..and by late night, I mean anytime after 7:00 PM.  I could not muster up any creative energy that night, but I did stamp a few bits and pieces that I brought home with me.  Thanks to this weeks Global Design Project Sketch Challenge, I was finally able to put some of those bits and pieces together to create something fun!

The Citrus Blooms bundle is coming soon in the new Annual Catalog and you are going to love it!  It is part of the Mediterranean Blooms suite and it is gorgeous!

Do you spy a new In-Color?  Let me introduce you to Petunia Pop!  This was the perfect color to compliment the bunch of citrus sweetness!

I used the leafy frame included the Citrus Blooms Dies for an element of the sketch. I simply snipped one side off to fit along the bottom, with just a little bit trailing off the edges.  The Basics 3D Embossing Folders added some additional texture and a few of the new Petunia Pop 2024-2026 In Color Shimmer Gems gave just the right amount of shimmer.

Stay tuned for more sneak peeks over the next few weeks as we prepare for the launch of the 2024-2025 Annual Catalog!  You're going to love all this catalog has to offer!
