Masterful Monochromatic Floral Swap cards by my Flowerbugs

Today is the last of the pretty monochromatic cards my Flowerbug's gals made for our January swap.  The theme was a challenge for some but others found it easy.  Have you made a monochromatic card before?  If not try it! 

This first card was made by Tracey using the Meadow dies in Blushing Bride & White.

There are so many beautiful details! 

  • All of these flowers, butterfly & greeting dies are from the Meadow dies seen here.  They're cut from White, Bushing Bride & Vellum CS
  • The texture is from the Bark 3D embossing folder seen here.  
  • She sponged on one of the die-cuts and the textured piece too. 
  • The greeting is heat embossed using White embossing powder

 

Next is a card made by Ginny using the Color & Contour bundle seen here.  She chose to use the In Color Pale Papaya.

The designer paper is from our 6 X 6" In Color assorted DSP pack seen here.  Did you know we have patterned paper in each of our Stampin' Up! colors!  I love how easy it is to coordinate our products with our color line.  It just makes me happy! 

 

Next is a card Candace made using the new Sale-a-Bration free bundle called Friendly Hello seen here.

Here are the details:

  • Her colors are Blushing Bride & Flirty Flamingo. She stamped her flowers on both the greeting circle and the Blushing Bride card base.  
  • She used the Basic Border dies to trim off the front edge for a stitched detail. 
  • The striped DSP is on the inside of the card.  It's from the Host Pattern Party DSP
  • She textured the larger circle with the new Gingham embossing folder.  
  • The ribbon is our new Frayed White ribbon in the Jan-June catalog.

  • Bamboo Beauty & the Ink Swipe Technique

    I created this striking card for a swap I participated in with some of my Demonstrator leader friends.  I wanted to highlight the beautiful Bamboo Beauty stamp set. 

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    I decided to create a bold background effect by swiping ink pads directly across my Basic White CS.  Each one turned out totally different! 

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    I chose to use these colors from top to bottom – Pale Papaya, Mango Melody, Flirty Flamingo & Calypso Coral. Depending on how well inked your pads are you can get a variety of hues.  After I swiped the darker colors I used the Pale Papaya over it all to blend and soften the colors together.  

    Bamboo Beauty Save

    My measurements for this card are as follows:

    • So Saffron card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
    • White (before swiping) 3 1/2" X 4 3/4" 
    • Black 3 5/8" X 4 7/8"

    I hope you try this technique; it's so fun!  I shared this technique using glossy paper in a video a few years ago.  Here's a link to it.

    Here's a closer view one card. I love how the solid images stamp with multiple hues of color without any effort!  It may look like my ink pad wasn't inked enough but this is on purpose. These Distinctive stamps are wonderful and provide a lot of dimension effortlessly!
