Monday Montage 241

It's another Monday and time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.

Someone please tell me where the summer has gone?  My kids go back to school in two weeks! ​It has gone by so fast and I don't feel like we've done enough.  We've been busy for sure but I have so many things still on the summer bucket list that I thought we'd do.

For this week's Hop I decided to play around with the Bright & Beautiful suite, especially the Memories and More cards.  I'm offering a class with the printed cards and the cards and envelopes where each person will get to make 20 cards in one class. I love doing these classes because, not only do they get to make a LOT of cards, but everyone can be creative and make them how they want. 

For most of the cards I'm showing today though I used more than just the Memories and More packs. I added card stock, embellishments, ribbon and the stamps, dies and paper from the Bright & Beautiful suite. 

I love rainbows and thought this made a bright and cheery card to celebrate all types of occasions.

This one combines the Memories and More pack with the dies in the suite. I cut out the balloons and used the negative space to create the focal point. Cutting up one of the cards to get the words "hip, hip hooray" gave me a saying to use.

I used the die cut from the previous card on this one. I added the stitched lines with a Basic Black Stampin' Write marker. I also pulled in some of the Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper that coordinates with the Memories and More products. I thought this made a fun and festive celebration card.

Monday Montage 240

The month is flying by and school is going to start before I'm ready! I can't believe it's already time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop.  This time I'm sharing with you my July Paper Pumpkin alternatives from the Fun in The Sun kit. It came really quickly this month. 

The cards in the kit are meant to be cool fun fold designs.  I did a lot of cutting apart to create pieces I could use on my alternatives. I liked the score marks on the pieces because I felt like it added dimension to the look of the card.

​I think this is my favorite one! I used Crumb Cake for my ink and paper choice.

Trimming the panel to the full length of the front of the card on this one allowed it to be a great background for the beach chair.

Layering the umbrella piece over the panel made this a super easy card to create. Birthday, Thinking of You, Just Because...so many reasons to send it.

I think this would make a great retirement card.

This one is a fun fold of my own making.  I used a piece of the original card and folded it into the card base.  The front folds down and then you open the card up!

July is here! Summer is in full swing and we are making the most of it. We had a quick family trip to Wisconsin a week ago and now are busy with camps and work. 

This card was a fun one. Fussy cutting is not for everyone but I don't mind it. I saw another card somewhere (I wish I knew where/who created it but I can't remember or find it again) that used the Countryside Dies to create a geometric background. It was such a fun thing to try.  These little critters playing music are super cute.

My class last week was a "Best of Bundles" class where I featured four different bundles. One of the bundles was the Zany Zoo and this is the card we made in class.  The background was created with a stamp from the Timeless Charm that will be available for purchase on the 6th. 

I love using circles and this card featured a few.  I used one of the circle punches available as an online exclusive and the Stylish Shapes dies. The sweet bear reading is so cute.
