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

• Accordion Style Fun-Fold card with video

  July 15, 2020

  ---

  Here's another easy fun fold card that shows off all sides of your designer series paper.  And uses up thin strips too! 

  I made them during my weekly 'Stamp With Me' Facebook Live last week.  

  Save

  I chose to use the Brights 6 X 6" designer paper pack and the Many Mates stamp set.

  Aren't they fun?  The back is flat and does not open.  You could include a full card base on it instead of a flat piece if you'd like.  I will write or sign the inside on the larger White part.

  You might notice there are dots around some of the punched pieces.  I used my Blends markers to add that fun detail.  I also colored in some of the words on the greetings too.  This stamp set is fun! 

  When you adhere the greeting on the front add adhesive to just the very top flap.

  I chose the pretty Misty Moonlight & Seaside Spray combination for these cards.  I love the two toned look of these In Colors together.  When you add White for a pop of brightness they really shine!
