Blessings of Home card ideas; beautiful layouts


This week I'm sharing Monochromatic cards made by my Flowerbug's Team members.  It was our swap theme this month.  

It was a challenge for some but their cards were incredible as usual! Both cards today feature the Blessings of Home bundle; seen here.

This first card was created by Marilyn.  Her colors include Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy & White.  

She used the large flower image to create a background using Misty Moonlight ink for a pretty tone on tone look.  She stamped the flower again on a piece of White CS and used the dies to cut it out. You cannot see in the photo but she added Wink of Stella to the flower.  

It's adhered over a pretty Encircled in Beauty Navy die-cut. 

This next card was created by Tracey using the same Blessings of Home bundle.  

She used 3 different designer papers here – Heart & Home, Hand-Penned & the In Color 6 X 6" prints. I love how our colors & products coordinate so effortlessly.  Our color coordination is what brought me to Stampin' Up! and keeps me happy to stay. 

Details:

  • She stamped her flower image in Basic Gray ink and colored it in with Blends markers. It's fussy cut with the coordinating die-cut. 
  • She heat embossed her greeting with White embossing powder onto Designer Paper.  What a gorgeous card and a neat layout. 
  • The White CS behind the flower is textured with our new Gingham embossing folder seen here

  • Create a mountain scene with the In the Grove bundle; video & free project sheet too!


    I shared this card on last week's Live video. I made a bunch of them for an online swap I participated in.  I just love creating a scene on my cards!  

    It features the In the Grove bundle; from the new Annual Catalog.  You can see it here.  

    My colors include Smoky Slate, Balmy Blue, Shaded Spruce and the new Shy Shamrock. 

    Tips: I heat embossed the clouds in clear embossing on the White layer; then used a blending brush with Balmy Blue ink over it for the sky. When you do this I recommend wiping off the excess ink with a slightly damp tissue or cloth. That removes the blue ink from the embossed clouds. 

    That pretty mountain image is all one stamp! One color of ink and one stamp. I stamped the green trees multiple times in Shaded Spruce ink, varying the height each time.  

    I hope you like it! Be sure to watch the video below to see how quickly it comes together.

  • Thoughtful Journey designer paper paired with In The Grove for stunning results!


    I shared this beautiful card on last week's Live video. 

    It features a few new products in the 1024-25 Annual Catalog;

    This Thoughtful Journey designer paper is incredible! Many people love the watercolor look of this type of scenic paper.

    To me it seems the perfect choice for thinking of you, sympathy or get well cards.  

    I made a few of these cards with the Lily Pond Lane designer paper too.  You can see both in the photo below:

    Here's a free printable project sheet for you: Download In the Grove scene

    My card bases are Misty Moonlight and the White birch tree die-cut is approximately 5" X 3 3/4"; as is the designer paper under it.  See the Lily Pond Lane designer paper here. 

    I think these scenic cards are fabulous.  Those birch tree die-cuts sure make quick but beautiful cards!

  • A WOW fun fold card that has to be the easiest ever!


    If you are looking for a great idea for designer papers that create a scene this layout is it!  

    Start with a card base of 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" and 4 1/4".  Then cut a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of designer paper and trim off the right side at 3/4". Add that strip to the left side of your card base and the larger half to the left folded side. 

    Isn't that the best & most simple layout?!  Think of the many cards you could make with this design. 

    The card features the stunning Meandering Meadows designer paper pack.  This paper can be found here in our Online Exclusives – but is currently unavailable until later May.

    I wouldn't wait too long to order this DSP; when they run out they don't always re-order and then it's gone for good.  That's how the Online Exclusive products work.  

    Here's an inside view: 

    If you'd like to have a project sheet with measurements, photos and products used, here you go. Here is the free project sheet for this super simple but gorgeous card. Download April Club Perennial Postage scene

    There are so many beautiful scenes in this pack of paper and most sheets coordinate with our Starry Sky, Balmy Blue or Shaded Spruce cardstock. *Starry Sky has retired now; I will miss this pretty blue color.

    I featured the Perennial Postage bundle for both the greetings and the label die-cut.

     The dies did carry over into the new catalog but the stamp set did not and is retired now.  The dies are currently out of stock but should be available in about 2 weeks; around May 13th. 

     

    I hope you like this simple but beautiful card.  It's perfect when you need a quick but fabulous card design.
