Monday Montage 250

12/3/2023

0 Comments

 
This time of year I need a lot of gift card holders. I don't like to simply hand someone a gift card.  I like to make it special! I've got four fun ways for you to gift someone a gift card this holiday season. 

The first uses the fun Classic Gift Card Envelopes.  These are retiring with the mini catalog and are on sale.  Be sure to stock up! You can add a little color to them with blending brushes, simply tie ribbon around them or add them to the inside of a card. So many uses.

The Mini Pocket Envelope die is the perfect size for creating gift card holders. With this die you can use any of your favorite papers and create an adorable project in minutes. 

​Tip: I always use Tear Tape for gift card holders and envelopes I make. It's a much stronger adhesive than Seal and helps hold up when you are slipping something in and out of the envelope.

This design is one of my favorites!  The best way to make them is with Memories and More cards.  It's a rather simple design in the end:

-Base is 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches (a quarter of a piece of card stock)
-Layer on top of it a 4 x 5 1/4 inches piece of Designer Series Paper or trim 3/4 of an inch off of a Memories and More card
-The middle is a piece of card stock cut to 9 3/4 x 4 1/4 inches and scored at 3 1/4 and 6 1/2 
-Use your Memories and More 3 x4 cards to decorate

This design fits in a traditional card envelope making it the perfect Gift Card Card!

I hope you haven't overlooked the Scalloped Gift Card Boxes in the annual catalog.  These are perfect for gifting your gift cards! Easily decorate with your favorite Designer Series Papers, some tags and ribbon. The inside has a great little pop up holder to slip the gift card in.

It's time for another Monday Montage Blog Hop!  

I held my annual 20 card class over the weekend.  This is a class where everyone makes five each of four designs. The cards are all designs that are easy to replicate at home so that everyone has ideas to use again. 

This was one of the designs.  It's a great one if you have beautiful Designer Series Paper you want to show off!

Gather five sheets of coordinating DSP cut to 4 x 5 1/4 inches. 
Cut on the short side (4 inch side) at 1 3/4 inches. Then cut that piece at 3 1/4 inches.  This gives you your first two pieces. 
Cut the other long piece at 2 and 1 3/4. This will leave you with the final three pieces. 
Mix and match the pieces and adhere to a white card stock base.

Has anyone else ever messed up their cutting measurements?? I went to cut pieces and cut at 1 1/4 instead of 1 3/4 so I had to improvise my design!  Oh well, it's only paper!

Monday Montage 247

Every month I offer a four card class.  I offer it in the morning and in the evening. We create four different cards using current products.  I try to bring in some techniques and lots of different products.  There is never a theme but  simply fun all occasion type cards.  Here is a look at the four projects we did last week for the October class. 

This first one was inspired by Mary Fish.  I love the Garden Walk paper so much and this layout that Mary shared is such a great one to copy.  

The Modern Oval punch is a go to for me right now.  It's the perfect shape and size to use on so many cards!

The Distressed Tile 3D embossing folder is my current favorite. I can't get enough of it!  It looks so elegant to me. I paired it with the deckled circles and the fun leaf from the Cheers to the Season stamp set.  Adding copper accents really finished it off nicely. 

I did fussy cut the leaf out but I think it's worth the effort! 

​Don't have the copper ribbon? Use Gold Trim instead!

For this card we tried a few techniques including watercolor pencils and coloring the pearls. Did you know that you can use your Blends to color the pearls any color you like? 

I loved the look the Radiating Stitches dies gave to the Crumb Cake piece.

I had used the Shimmer Embossing Paste with the snowflake mask from the Abundant Beauty mask pack on another card and loved it so much I had to try again.

​This card is very monochromatic but blue is my favorite color so I was in love with it from the start!

It's time for another Monday Montage! October is here and our weather is finally feeling fall like.  I love it and hope it lasts a long time before winter starts in. 

Speaking of winter, I decided to play with the new Above it All set.  This one feels very winter like because it reminds me of skiing.  The first card I made I only used the cool looking tree stamp. 

My colors for this card were Old Olive, Calypso Corral and Poppy Parade.

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. 
Picture
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. 
Picture
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. 
Picture
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.

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.

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!

Monday Montage 238

It's time again for another Monday Montage.  The weeks seem to fly by!

This week I played around with a fun color combo that I wanted to share. It came about by accident when I was prepping for my class.  The four colors were the bases for the cards we were going to make but when I had them all together to cut I realized I liked them all together as a combo. 

I first pulled out the new Just My Type stamp set to use in my creating.  This set has quickly become a favorite of mine. This card uses the rainbow stamp to create a background and the sweet sentiment pairs nicely with it.

The four colors I used were Crumb Cake, Bubble Bath, Pretty Peacock and Calypso Coral.

The cute typewriter is my favorite part of this stamp set.  Yes, this card did require some fussy cutting but it was worth it! Simple but fun.

Besides birthday cards, thank you cards are what I use most.  I tend to make a lot of them! 

It's rare for me to make a card with no white on it at all but I did it with this one.  Do you tend to use white or not?

This card is one I created on my Facebook Live this past week.  It was done by first stamping the images and then embossing the panel.  It creates such a fun look. I was still playing with the same color combo and the Lighting the Way stamp set was a perfect one to use for this design.

Before I cleaned everything up I decided I wanted to try another version on this card but have the images the side instead of the bottom.  I did not emboss this one either.  

I ended up sharing these on social media to ask which everyone preferred.  Which do you pick?

​Where has the month of April gone?  I can't believe it is May already and time for another Monday Montage.

One good thing about time flying by...it means the new Annual Catalog is almost here!  Starting on Tuesday, May 2nd you can order from the new catalog.  

The new Birthday Balloons stamp set was perfect for creating some quick and easy birthday cards.  I send so many birthday cards and never seem to have extras!  I even created a video of me making this one. Check it out here.

I'm showcasing not only a new stamp set from the catalog but also some of the new colors.  I love a color refresh because of all the new additions we add to our color wheel.  Check out Berry Burst, Boho Blue and Lemon Lime Twist together.  Berry Burst and Lemon Lime Twist are returning colors and Boho Blue is a brand new In Color. ​

Monday Montage 234

I'm excited for another Monday Montage Blog Hop. I love seeing all the fun projects each time we do this. Be sure to check out everyone.  What I can't believe is that it's already the middle of April. How is that possible?  So much is going on with both the Annual and the Jan-April Catalogs retiring this month, the color refresh, new Annual Catalog preorder for demonstrators...it's a lot! It's overwhelming but I am enjoying all the new product coming our way.  

One stamp set I was very glad was NOT going away was the Taco Fiesta set. I recently offered a "to go" class with this set.  Here are my projects! 

I loved pairing it with the bright and bold patterns and colors of the Flowers & More Host paper pack.

Creating your own background with Stampin' Blends is a fun technique.

The In Color Glimmer paper is awesome and on sale for only $4.80! Snatch it up before it's gone forever.

The optional faces are too cute.  It's fun to play around with them and create adorable images.

Which is your favorite?  

While the packets for the class are sold out you can still purchase the class PDFs for only $10. Go here to sign up.  You would also get a short video that walks you through my tips and suggestions. Be sure to sign up for my mailing list to you hear about future classes.  

Be sure to click next to go to see Julie or back to check out Elizabeth. Both have awesome projects to share this time.
