Monday Montage for Fall!

Where does the time go??? To be fair,I know we are into “fall”, but it has still be in the 90s here in Salt Lake City. Crazy, right??? Couldn’t wait any longer to make a true “fall” card, so here we are!

Eeep! Yikes!! And OH MY GOODNESS!! The More Than Autumn Bundle (which is an online exclusive) is just soooo yummy I can almost taste it! (Seriously, I expected this card to actually SMELL like pumpkin spice once I had finished it!).

I used a combination of textures and layers to get to the end of this card … embossing folders, dies, stamps and twine!!). I just wanna like that whipped cream off the top of this thing!

I used the Designer Tags Dies to make 

the layer in the background using the A Little Latte DSP.

I couldn’t help using some fussy cutting to add some sentiments to my sentiment tag (does that make sense?).

And the two-tone leaves??? Yeah, you are going to see me do this again because I love it!!

Monday Montage #268

It’s Monday Montage time again! I was out of town a bunch in August and didn’t get to play along last time, so I’m happy to be back!

I really love it when a card comes together and is as good (or better) than you picture in your mind … which doesn’t happen to me NEARLY enough! This is one of those time, though!

I wanted to make the ducks from the Charming Duck Pond Bundle look like they were actually a piece of DSP rather than individual ducks. In the end, this is more of a 3D version of what I had envisioned but I am really happy with the result. The only thing this card takes is a little bit of patience with die cutting, as there are LOTS of ducks and NO stamping!!

I cut out a whole stack of ducks first using Gray Granite, Balmy Blue, Peach Pie and Pretty Peacock. Then I set to making all the little ducks by layering the pieces I had cut out. I made a “frame” for the ducks using the circle/lily pond die from the same die set. Don’t they look cute??

Keeping it simple for the rest of the card, I just cut out the “friend” sentiment from the Friends for Life dies and added a few “Blooming Pearls” embellishments which actually make the Pretty Peacock elements just pop off the page!

I have many little ducks left over, so I will probably be making another card with them very soon!
