Monday Montage - Mixed Florals & Labels

Here we are again with the Monday Montage Hop! I FINALLY cleaned out my “holiday explosion” in the craft room and have some space to create!

I used a card posted by my fellow-Monday-Montage-r and friend, Elizabeth Price. I changed the layout a bit and used a different stamp set, but the idea is basically hers … isn’t it pretty??

The Country Woods DSP has been my most favorite DSP in the last couple of years … I’ve dressed it up, down and sideways!!

The image and sentiment, from Mixed Florals and Mixed Labels, were stamped with Early Espresso and colored using my Stampin’ Blends - Berry Burst, Bubble Bath and Pecan Pie.

I used an old paper crimper (I know many of you have these still!) to add even more texture to the background (just like Elizabeth’s card!). 

I added a layer of vellum (YAY for its return!) using the Everyday Arches Dies, plus accented the whole thing with a little Crumb Cake lattice shape and some gold brushed butterflies.

Stamps: Mixed Florals, Mixed Labels

Paper: Basic White, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Country Woods DSP

Ink: Early Espresso; Stampin’ Blends - Berry Burst, Pool Party, Pecan Pie, Bubble Bath, Crumb Cake

Accessories: Mixed Florals Dies, Mixed Labels Dies, Everyday Arches Dies, Early Espresso Baker’s Twine, Brushed Butterflies Embellishments

I need to share my Christmas card (so happy I had them mailed the week BEFORE Christmas instead of the week AFTER). And … true confessions … I used stamps and dies that are NOT from Stampin’ Up (as JanTink would call it, “rubbahdultery”!).

Monday Montage - Petals of Beauty

Happy Monday Montage Day!! I had to get up extra early this morning to make the card I had picture in my head to share this week. Between Thanksgiving, putting up Christmas decorations and working on my Christmas card (I make 100 of them!) I have been SUPER busy … not to mention trying to do some shopping as well!

EVERY dang thing in the Brushed with Beauty Suite is STELLAR!! I am in love with ALL of it!!

I used items from the Petals of Beauty Bundle (stamps and dies) to create this card. 

First I stamped the flower images using Cherry Cobbler Ink. I then cut out the coordinating flower die in both Real Red and Very Vanilla.

The greenery dies were cut out of Shaded Spruce.

I pulled out my trusty old Simply Scored Board to add some dimension to the background with some horizontal and vertical scored lines.

And how can I do anything “Christmas-y” without the flickers of snow?? I used both Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive Stampin’ Blends to flick some fun onto the background.

The sentiment was just stamped with Cherry Cobbler and fussy cut.

Stamps: Petals of Beauty, Delicate Pines (sentiment)

Paper: Very Vanilla, Real Red, Shaded Spruce

Ink: Cherry Cobbler; Stampin’ Blends - Cherry Cobbler, Real Red and Old Olive

Accessories: Petals of Beauty Dies, Simply Scored, Gold Dots (retired)

Two more weeks until Christmas (more or less) … who’s ready??? I have always dreamed about being one of “those” people who had everything done by Thanksgiving … HAHAHAHAHA!!!
