More Monochromatic swaps featuring flowers


I’m sharing more of my Team’s monochromatic swaps today. These pretty cards all feature flowers. 

This first stunning card is made by Barb who used the Spotlight on Nature stamp set. I was shocked to see it on the Last Chance list and it’s already out of stock! 

Joan is a master at coloring!  Look at the shadow effect she achieved on the flowers and leaves! It looks like it’s raised but it’s simply stamped and Blends marker was added all around the image.

The other stamps she used are Sentimental Framing and Textured Notes. The inks are Granny Apple Green & Memento Black. She added Holographic Resin Dots, a linen thread bow and Wink of Stella on the butterfly to finish it off.  

She gave me measurements I can share with you too! 

  • Lemon Lime Twist 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″
  • Granny Apple Green 3 1/2″ X 11″ scored at 5 1/2″
  • White 3 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, inside is 3″ X 5″, greeting is 3 1/4″ X 1″
  • Season of Elegance DSP 2 pieces at 3/4″ X 5 1/2″

Here’s a view of the card opened:

You’ve created a beautiful card Joan!

Next is a card made by Joan’s mom, Barb. It’s her first time swapping with us and she did a wonderful job! 

Barb chose the Gallery Blooms stamp set. She stamped the flower in Night of Navy and used Wink of Stella to pull the color into the image. Very cool idea! 

She used the Textured Notes dies (2nd & 3rd largest) for her blue layers of Night of Navy and Blueberry Bushel. 

Measurements:

  • Night of Navy card base 4 1/4″ X 11″ score at 5 1/2″
  • Blueberry Bushel 4 3/4″ X 3/4″, scrap for greeting
  • White 2 3/4″ X 4 1/2″ for die-cut, inside is 3 1/2″ X 4 3/4″

Beautiful job Barb!

Next is a pretty card made by Candace featuring the pretty Charming Day bundle seen here. 

Her colors include White, Soft Seafoam and Basic Gray.  She added color to the floral die-cut with Blends markers and then added Wink of Stella to all of the die-cuts. 

The pretty leaf die-cuts also have Soft Seafoam Blends added. The texture is the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.   I just love the clean look of this pastel color with White.

Here’s the inside view.  Simply stamping the flower image in the same ink is a beautiful say to finish it. 

I’ll be sharing our swap cards all week; stay tuned!

  • Petal Park with Kind & Sincere and a masked background technique with video tutorial


    This is the other card I shared on my Stamp with Me Live on Monday evening.  You can see it here on my YouTube Channel now.  

    I used post-it notes and a Blending Brush to achieve this soft line of color and then stamped my flowers and dotted image around it.  I love the effect!

    I used a pretty color combination of Coastal Cabana with Night of Navy.  What do you think of these together?  


    I've created quite a few cards by combining these two stamp sets together.  I'm not sure why; they seem to pair up so easily. 

    I did stamp a set of flowers on a separate piece of White card stock and punched them out so I could curl the petals and pop them up. I like to add more dimension to my cards this way.  

    I also did the same with my smaller greeting, stamping it on a scrap of Coastal Cabana to add below the 'Thanks'.  

    Click here or on the image below to watch the video; you'll get great tips on achieving this pretty technique.

  • Get 95 sheets of New Spring Catalog Designer Paper in my DSP paper share!


    Many people like to see (& feel) the designer papers in person and it's so nice to have a sample of each one.  This way you know if you want to order full packs or not.  Plus it's great to have some of each so you can participate in challenges, swaps or just case/copy a cute sample you see online.  

    In my Spring Catalog designer paper share you'll receive 95 sheets of every single pack available!  They're in 6 X 6" size and it's just $34 (plus shipping if needed).  

    Here's the link to opt in via my Shop.  

    There are 14 different packs including 8 specialty papers like shimmer, vellum, pearl and foiled. 

    If you'd like to earn a Sale-a-Bration item with this order, adding on $32 in products will be enough for a free $50 choice or $72 for a $100 choice.  *12" papers may need to be cut into 6 X 12" size to fit in the package.

    Once each share is filled (I need 8 people) I will order the designer paper.  Then it takes 7-10 days for it to arrive to me for cutting and packaging. So expect your paper share to take at least 2 weeks to arrive.   

    Here's the link to get the designer paper share.  Remember this is limited and likely to last through January only.

  • Masked Blending Technique; join me Live tonight!


    Happy New Year!!!

    ~~~

    Tonight I'm sharing the Masked Blending technique on FB Live.  It's at 7:30 pm here on FB.  It will also be shared on my YouTube channel afterwards.  

    Each month (usually on the last Monday) I host a 'Stamp with Me' Live on my FB page.  I post the project ahead of time so those who want to can prepare and create along with me.  

    Tonight we're playing with masking & blending brushes to create cards like these:  

    I chose to use long post-it notes to 'mask' off the area I want to add color to.  I used Coastal Cabana ink and our Blending Brushes.  You can get an incredibly smooth look with these brushes.  I'll share my favorite tips on using them in the video.  

    The stamp sets are all new in either the upcoming Spring or Sale-a-Bration catalogs. These catalogs go live on January 5th. 

    The card below is made with the Beautifully Happy stamp set.  It's a 2-step set with 17 stamps in it.  It's free with a $100 order from January 5 – February 28th. 

    My colors include Coastal Cabana, Gorgeous Grape & Fresh Freesia. 


    I did stamp the large flower an extra time and fussy cut it so I could pop it up for added dimension.  

    Join me on Facebook here tonight at 7:30 pm CT or watch it later on my YouTube Channel here.
