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!

Quick Framed Panel card; three ways!

June 1, 2020
For last week's Stamp with Me Facebook Live I chose to make framed panel cards. There are likely many ways to frame a stamped panel but I chose to highlight three of them – Stamped, Textured and Designer Paper. Look!

Save

On these first two cards I stamped leaves on card stock using White Craft ink. The colors above are the new 2020-22 In Colors in Just Jade and Misty Moonlight. I used the Layered with Kindness (retiring!; see it here) and the brand new Forever Fern stamp sets. The punch is Label Me Fancy seen here.

Just look at the detail on the Distinktive images here on the Forever Fern stamp set. I'm in the middle of creating a new Wonder template for 8 quick, beautiful cards using this stamp set. I cannot wait to share it with you!

Save

I do not have the new Misty Moonlight ink yet so I used Night of Navy, stamped off once. It's close!

Measurements:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- long pieces are 1" X 4 1/4"
- short pieces are 1" X 3"
- stamped panel is 1 3/4" X 3"
- Navy layer is 1 7/8" X 3 1/8"
This next card is the new Cinnamon Cider with Bermuda Bay. I also used the new Forever Fern stamp set here. The butterflies are from Butterfly Wishes set.

Save

The next card is Seaside Spray with Night of Navy and features the Layered with Kindness and Butterfly Wishes. which coordinated with our Butterfly Duet punch. The Ornate Floral embossing folder is new and in the upcoming Annual catalog but it's available now.

Save

Lastly is one made with Garden Lane designer series paper (on sale right now) in Garden Green & Mint Macaron.

The Petal Pink & Champagne ribbon and the Magnolia Lane designer paper is sold out now but they do still have the bulk package. It includes 20 sheets of two different double sided patterns of this pretty paper including the one I used here! You can see it here.

My favorite deal on the Last Chance list are these gorgeous edgelit dies (seen here). I cannot believe they're just $11.60 instead of $29 originally. Remember they're on the list while supplies last!
