Monday Montage More Than Autumn

I’m squeezing as much fall as I can before winter hits me between the eyes! It has been soooooo warm (still in the 80’s!) until just a few days ago. The leaves are changing and things are cooling down a bit (but the 60s are not too bad, right???).

I masked off edges of the pieces of Very Vanilla cardstock that I cut out using the Perennial Postage Dies. I sponged the centers of each of the pieces using a combination of Pumpkin Pie, Pebbled Path, Crumb Cake and Pecan Pie inks. I then proceeded to stamp various images from the More Than Autumn stamp set (used the dies, too!). Basically I made a collage of all the images. I especially like the little two-tone leaves I accented the panels with!

The Stampin’ Blends came in very handy for coloring all these fun fall things! I probably went a little overboard, but I like how this turned out!

Monday Montage Pumpkin Patch

Time to celebrate fall and get crafty with my Monday Montage pals again! I always look forward to their awesome creations. They truly inspire me!

This card took me waaaaayyy longer than it should have because I just couldn’t decide what to do with all the pretty pumpkins.

In the end, I stamped them and then used a sponge dauber to add highlighted colors at the bottom (the large pumpkins in the middle were stamped with Pumpkin Pie and daubered with Cajun Craze; the medium-sized pumpkins in the background with the vines were stamped with Peach Pie and daubered with Pumpkin Pie; the little pumpkins are straight up Pumpkin Pie!). 

I mixed up the greens on this as well. The pumpkin toppers were all done with Mossy Meadow, while the vines are Old Olive.

I then flecked the background using my Crumb Cake Stampin’ Blend pen. Love me a good lil’ ol’ pumpkin patch, don’t you??

(And this is a sneak peek on the Modern Herringbone Embossing Folder which I LOOOOVE!)

TGIF Challenge #494 - Sketch Challenge

It’s time again for the TGIF Challenge!! LOVING this sketch! It made for a quick and easy card.

I have been neglecting Boho Blue … it’s one of the 2023-2025 In Colors and has sat languishing for the past several months. I knew it was going to be PERFECT to pair with the cute little paper airplanes and clouds from the Flying By stamp set.

The So Swirly embossing folder is sooooo great for conveying some “wind” in the background! The sentiment with it’s curvy shape and dot leaders just blends right in!

I stamped some clouds on the little Perennial Postage diecuts for the paper airplanes to fly over. The background has more clouds made using Versamark and some white embossing powder.

Super cute, right??

Stamps: Flying By

Paper: Basic White, Boho Blue
