Monday Montage 245

9/24/2023

0 Comments

 
It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop full of fun ideas.

This week I'm showing off fun projects using the new Stampin' Up! Abundant Beauty Decorative Masks. This past week I held a technique class where we used the new masks with both blending brushes and embossing paste. These masks offer so many possibilities.  Each class attendee went home with their own set of masks and three mini blending brushes.

The sunflower masks are very easy to use.  There are four total and each is numbered with a notch to show you which direction to face them.  I shared a quick reel on how to use them here. 

I used Shaded Spruce, Pecan Pie and Crushed Curry on this card.  I loved pairing a couple of small pieces of the All About Autumn Designer Series Paper on the sides.

I hadn't used the Shimmer White Embossing Paste in a long time.  I forgot how easy it is to use and how great it looks!  It's the perfect thing to use with the snowflake mask in the set.  I think this was the top pick by everyone in class.

The last card we made focused on the leaf mask in the set. I paired it with the Cheers to the Season stamp set. It did require a little fussy cutting but I think it's worth it! I used the All About Autumn paper on this one as well.

Paper Pumpkin Alternatives with Meaningful Flowers

9/19/2023

0 Comments

 
It's taken me awhile to get my alternatives done and ready to share from the August 2023 Meaningful Flowers Kit.  I loved the pretty flowers in this kit.  I'm a sucker for flowers so this one was easy to work with. 

As always, I started with cutting one of each card base in half to create alternatives.  Because these had writing on the back they didn't necessarily give me double the pieces to work with but I liked having the fronts to create with.

This was such an easy card to put together but so pretty!

I was inspired to create this one from one of the alternatives that Stampin' Up! offered in the instruction booklet.  They always showcase a few optional designs in the back of the instructions. I stamped the flowers in the background and then adhered the die cut piece on top.  I stamped flowers in the background on the sentiment piece as well.

September is here and off to a fast start! The weather is beautiful so it's helping us get outside and enjoy what is being offered around us.  Yesterday we took in the Farmer's Market followed but a Book Festival and and Open House at my favorite local boutique! You should check out Seams for the Soul and pick up a card or two. 

For this week's Monday Montage I focused on the new Warmest Hearts bundle from the September to December catalog.  I fell in love with this set right away! 

This card is super simple but I love the colors and they way the card looks so clean and simple.

This next card is much more bright! The new Merry Bold & Bright Designer Series Paper really does pop.  I love the bright rainbow of colors and how it can work for holiday and non holiday cards alike.

Another bright card featuring the same Merry Bold & Bright paper. There a lot of accent dies in this bundle and I love that you can customize your thermos so easily.
