Monday Montage Week #178-Gnomes For All Seasons!

  

Hello and thank you for joining our Monday Montage Blog Hop! I am so, so, so excited to show you my projects for the hop today! But first, a little back story! 

I have looked through the August-December Mini Catalog countless times, but I never really noticed the Gnome for the Holidays Stamp Set. It's tucked up in the top of page 23-if you haven't seen it, go take a look! One day, one of my amazing customers placed an order and she ordered Gnome for the Holidays. As I was placing the order, I looked at the set and it finally jumped out at me!! I saw all of the possibilities that the set had to offer and decided to order it as well. And I am so glad I did! It has been so much fun playing with this adorable set! The first thing I did was make a fall Gnome card. And it went on from there until I had made a card for each season! 

Have a look!


Here is a closer look at Winter and Spring!


And here is a closer look at Summer and Fall!




Join me back here on my blog Tuesday-Friday (Nov. 24-27) this week to see more details and the supply list for each card-one card featured per day! I will start with my fall card in case anyone wants to make a fall gnome card before fall is over!

Gilded Autumn Suite Thanksgiving Table Setting!

 Hello Friends! 

Thanksgiving is less than a week away! Can you believe it? I love Thanksgiving! I love everything about it! The food, focusing on our blessings, the food, family, the food...😂. 

So, with Thanksgiving right around the corner, I came up with a fun table setting to make the holiday a little more festive!


This was a quick and easy project using the Gilded Autumn Suite! The Specialty Designer Series Paper is so gorgeous with the metallic accents! 

I made the napkin ring by embossing Cajun Craze cardstock with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder. Then I layered the DSP on top with a little strip of Early Espresso tied with Linen Thread and added one of the acorn trinkets.


The Gathered Leaves Dies make the most beautiful embossed leaves! I made this votive candle holder using the cardboard ring from a package of Glue Dots! It's the perfect size!

And don't forget the name tags for the place settings! The Make a Difference Stamp Set makes this a breeze!

I hope you all have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Monday Montage Week #177

  

Happy Fall Y'all! I am excited for fall! I love sweater weather, colorful leaves and all things pumpkin and pumpkin spice! And I love Thanksgiving! So, for our Monday Montage Blog Hop, I am sharing a Thank You card made with the most gorgeous Fall suite!


This fun and easy Z-fold card is made with the Gilded Autumn Suite and the Gather Together Bundle. These products are amazing! And they look great together! The Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) is so beautiful with accents of gold and copper. And the Z-fold card is the perfect way to show off the DSP!  

Here is the card all opened up! 


Look at all of that DSP loveliness! Don't forget some room to write a thoughtful note! The Very Vanilla panel is just for that! Aren't the little Acorn Trinkets adorable? And what about the gorgeous ribbon? I love it all! This suite is perfect for your fall cards and projects!

Monday Montage Week #176

 

Hello! And welcome to the Monday Montage Blog Hop! We are so excited to have you with us today! Does anyone else wonder where October went? Just yesterday I was talking to my husband about all of the October things I still want to do and I realized we are running out of October! We did take our daughter and niece to a haunted house Saturday night. I haven't done that since before I was married, so over 23 years ago! I screamed and screamed every time something moved-even a couple of times when it was just my husband! Now I remember why I haven't done that in over 23 years-it's really not my cup of tea, but, the things we do for our kids...am I right??!!

So, since October is winding down, I thought I would share another fun Halloween card!


This was a really fun card to make! I wanted to make it look like wreath hanging on a door, and the Arrange a Wreath Bundle was perfect! That bundle is so great for many different occasions-I just love it! It doesn't have any pumpkins in it, but the Banner Year Stamp Set has the perfect sized pumpkins and the cutest little jack-o-latern face! 

Here is a close-up!

Monday Montage Week #175

Hello and Happy October Everyone! I love this time of year and I especially love making Halloween crafts and projects, but, only cute or pretty Halloween projects. So, I was so excited when I saw the Magic In This Night Suite Collection! It is elegant and hauntingly beautiful!! Today I am sharing a trio of projects made with this amazing suite! 



I had so much fun creating these projects! I started with the card, and then just kept on going! It was simple to create all three projects quickly because they all have the same center piece. Here is a close-up of the card:



I used the Rich Razzelberry Stampin' Blends to color in those beautiful flowers, and then I sponged the spider webs lightly with Smoky Slate Ink. But one of my favorite parts of the card is the back ground! I used the Cobweb 3D Embossing Folder first, and then flicked Wink of Stella all over it to make it sparkle! And don't forget the Iridescent Pearls! I love it!

Next, here is a close up of the treat bag:



Aren't those glittery bats so fun? 
And last, but not least, here is a close up of the little box:



I used the Perfect Parcels Dies to cut out this little cutie.
