Monday Montage #216

It's Sunday evening, Father's Day and Monday Montage ... not to mention the weekend is over already! But my fellow Monday Montagers and I still home some fun and pretty things to share with y'all ... so c'mon along!

Customizable newspaper front pages ... how cool is this??? I cut some 1" strips from the Regals DSP to use as the backdrop to this birthday front page ... so much fun! I added a couple of pieces of 3/4" Frayed White Ribbon and a handful of Champagne Rhinestones and VOILA! This one came together pretty quickly, even with a bit of fussy cutting.

The rhinestones add just enough bling to the birthday candles and the headline ... perfect for a happy birthday celebration!

Stamps: Breaking News

Paper: Whisper White,Regals DSP

Ink: Black Memento, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Blackberry Bliss, Real Red

Accessories: White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon, Champagne Rhinestones

Favorite In Colors with the Freaks - 2022 Edition!

It's time to play with the Control Freaks one again! Did you see Melissa Davies ' ADORABLE card?? Check it out if you haven't ... I LOVE IT!! This month we are highlighting our favorite new In Colors ... and the choice for me was very easy!

I am a GREEN freak (as well as being a Control Freak!)!! Parakeet Party is right up my alley!!

When I was about 5 years old my sweet mama painted my bedroom pink ... and my furniture was antiqued green ... which means I have always loved the combo of green and pink together. Hence, my card!

Stamps: Sunny Splash
Paper: Whisper White, Polished Pink, Basic Black

Ink: Polished Pink, Parakeet Party, Versamark

Accessories: Tailor Made Tags Dies, Beautiful Shapes Dies, Black & White 1/4" Gingham Ribbon, Glossy Enamel Dots, Parakeet Party Bakers Twine, Whisper White Embossing Powder, Artistic Mix Decorative Masks

Swimsuits and gingham are such a good combo, don't you think? I'm not sure if the Baker's Twine bows are a little too much, but I decided that they were ok!

Next up? Cindy Elam! Her cards are beautiful!!

Monday Montage #215

It's Monday Montage time again, my friends!! I have done more crafting this week than I have during any other week in a loooooong time! (I'm participating in a 7-day scrapbook challenge on Instagram and it's been keeping me busy!).

I got to dig into a few of my fun new goodies ... and used some DSP that retired with the last mini catalog ... couldn't help myself!

I am LOVING the amount of fun, new masculine sets in this year's catalog! Having been on MANY week-long canoe trips with my hubby, I KNEW that this set was a MUST HAVE! It's just SOOOO good! This is where I couldn't resist using the Waves of the Ocean DSP that came out in the last mini catalog and retired last month.  It is just too-too perfect for this set!

I colored the canoe with my Granny Apple Green Stampin' Blends and the guy's hat and oars with the Bermuda Bay Blends.  I also used the Blue Foils DSP behind the Waves DSP ... it's just such a great combo!

I tucked a little big of black and white Gingham Ribbon under the edge (and can see from the photo that I didn't press the top layer down all the way before I took the photo ... YIKES!)! I'm pretty happy with how this turned out!

Stamps: Adventurous Journey

Paper: Whisper White, Bermuda Bay, Basic Black, Waves of the Ocean DSP

Ink: Black Memento, Versamark, Granny Apple Green; Stampin' Blends - Granny Apple Green, Bermuda Bay

Accessories: Whisper White Embossing Powder, Gingham Ribbon
