These pretty cards are the last of the Monochromatic Team swaps

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.  

Save

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. 

Save

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!

• Make up to 24 great cards with this easy layout!

  July 9, 2021

  ---

  I created 24 wonderful but super easy cards on this week's Facebook Live video.  I featured the same template but switched it from vertical to horizontal for each set of 12 cards.

  I chose to use the new Pattern Party host Designer Paper because of it's versatility and fun color combos.  You can see this paper here.

  I kept these cards super simple but you could easily add more layers if you'd like.  Here's a close up of two of my favorites:

  Above is Crushed Curry card bases paired with the adorable Pattern Party black and white side of this fabulous Designer Paper.  I used both the Friends & Flowers and the Sunny Sentiments stamp sets here.  The flowers are colored in with Blends markers. 

  Here are all of the landscape cards; I love this stamp & punch bundle!  

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  And next are all of the vertical cards.  I stamped the flower image from the Friends & Flowers on either White or colored card stock and colored them in with either Blends markers or Wink of Stella; or both!  Simply add a greeting strip and some rhinestones.  So easy!

  The above set of cards is the exact same layout as the landscape cards; just flipped vertically!  I love the versatility of this design!  This is the same designer paper as well, but on the colorful side.  The reverse is all black & white patterns.  

  The images are from the Friends & Flowers stamp set.  The greeting strips are about 3/4" X 3". 

  Think how quickly you could make a stack of cards using this easy layout!  Below is the video to get my tips and see the cards better. 

  Remember that my perk for ordering over $50 in July is a stack of twenty 4" X 6" Designer Paper that includes at least 12 sheets of this Pattern Party DSP.  It's enough to make all 24 cards shown and more!  And the  more you order the more free Designer Paper you'll receive!
