These pretty cards are the last of the Monochromatic Team swaps

August 22, 2025

I’ve been sharing our Team swaps this week that all feature a Monochromatic theme. This means the colors should include hues of similar colors.

First is a pretty and soothing card made by Jacki.

She used the Prairie Grass stamp set seen here. Her colors include Very Vanilla with Crumb Cake. Her greeting is from the stamp set seen here.

I love how the grass image repeats itself on the Vanilla layer in the background.

Measurements:

Crumb Cake 8 1/2″ X 5 1/2″ score at 4 1/4″, 3″ X 4 1/4″
Vanilla 4″ X 5 1/4″, 2 3/4″ X 4″

Next is a pretty wedding or anniversary card made by Marla.

She used the Lifetime of Love stamp set seen here and the coordinating dies seen here. I love how these delicate dies inlay so perfectly.

Her colors include Navy, Misty Moonlight, Crumb Cake & White. She also used a new embossing folder called Jolly Holly Hybrid seen here. These leaves allow her to lift them a bit to add more dimension.

The Designer paper is 2 5/8″ wide and is the Country Lace pack and is discounted and on the Last Chance list now. See it here.

And lastly is this soft & pretty card made by Paula.

Her card features the blue tones of Blueberry Bushel with Azure Afternoon. Her stamp sets are Elements of Text seen here and Textured Notes seen here. The greeting is from the Label Me Grateful stamp set seen here.

I hope you enjoyed seeing the beautiful Monochromatic swaps this week. I have a super talented team!

Dressed to Impress meets Ornate Frames for a gorgeous hand made box!

May 13, 2020
These are the boxes I included in my Spring Retreat last month. I think they're gorgeous and was so happy with how they turned out!

Save

They're hand made from White and Lovely Lipstick card stock with fussy cut flowers and leaves from the Best Dressed designer series paper added to the top. The greeting is from the Dressed to Impress stamp set. The pretty die-cuts are from the Ornate Frames & Ornate Border dies which are now available again! See them here.

Here's a picture of the assembly process:

Here are the box dimensions:
- Top is 3 3/4" X 5 1/2" scored at 3/4" on all sides
- Bottom is 3 5/8" X 5 3/8" and scored at 3/4" on all sides.
Tips:
- Once you have the box pieces cut and scored you can use the Ornate Border dies to die-cut the pretty windows in the sides.
- Cut the White frame using the Ornate Frames dies. Stamp the greeting and add fussy cut leaves and flowers.
- Fill with chocolate!

Introducing the new 2020-22 In Colors!

May 12, 2020

They're in my hands! The new In Colors that is. Look at these gorgeous new colors we'll all get to play with soon!

Save

I added a few of our current colors of card stock with each new color so you can compare them. The Misty Moonlight is like soft, worn denim.

Save

This one seems like a color we've never had before! It's a honey brown or rich, caramel color.

Save

The Magenta Madness is a pretty bright pink. If you've been around long enough it reminds me of the Pink Passion we used to have years ago.

Save

The Bumblebee is a golden version of Crushed Curry but a bit brighter.

Save

Just Jade is a pretty green and also seems different from anything I remember us having before. It's lovely!

Here's a sneak peak of 5 cards I made with LOTS of brand new products! Everything is new but the White card stock.

Save

How many new products can you spy here?

Save

We are going to absolutely LOVE these new colors! I cannot wait to play and create new, favorite combinations with our current line of colors.

Special offer! Each year at my Open House event in early June I offer my local gals a fabulous bundle of our new In Color products . This year I'll be offering it online to everyone (in the USA)! It's usually consists of the In Color ink pads, ink refills, assorted In Color card stock, In Color designer paper and embellishments (or ribbon). Then with that purchase they get the set of In color markers free! It's a great way to have it all and not worry about needing ink refills or markers later.

However Stampin' Up! is already running low on a few of these items so I may have to change it up this year. I'll know more the last week of May, which is when I'll open it up to everyone. The Covid-19 crisis is sure causing havoc with shipping and inventory; not just with SU but globally. But we make do with what we have right? And that will include a ton of new and excited products!
