Stampendous Monthly Challenge


Welcome to another Saturday of Stampendous inspiration. We are challenging ourselves to create with gift giving in mind. You'll be able to read the details a bit later in this post.

My take this week was in the form of greeting card gift set. My mind is a bit foggy these days but I think there is such a thing as a museum collage set. It will come to mind some day as to the name, but for now we'll just say they are a collage set.

All of these cards are made with an aged cream cardstock on top of a kraft cardstock. The images are stamped with Versafine Onyx Black . The Stampendous Essentails are Vintage Mahogany Embossing Tinsel, Chunky White embossing enamel, and Pirate Gold embossing enamel. Two stamp sets were used to give this set a theme and those were Dream Text and Altered Type Alphabet.

(All of my photos were taken at night so they aren't showing all the wonderful detail in the stamped images and the colors in the embossing that look amazing in real life. I'll see if I can take some morning photos, but it's another soccer day for our family.)

The hop started at Verve's blog , so come hop on board and see over 5 dozen projects that are sure to get your Verve on! I've been waiting for the right time to blog about this project and when the opportunity came to join in the anniversary blog hop for Verve I knew it was time. My blog hop project today uses all Plain Jane Bible verses from Verve. I saw this project at Susan Roberts gallery on Splitcoaststampers and went to her blog to get the details . I decided to make one for my mother as a Christmas present...in 2008. Yep, I just now finished it and I have the blog hop to thank. Using sketches would have made this a whole lot faster. LOL The two cards shown in the picture above use the latest Plain Jane release for Psalm 121:1-2 (hanging on box) and Hebrews 11:1 (in front of box). And I'll give the details below, but first here's a slide show of the whole year. Hebr...
