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.   

Save

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!

• Ornate Garden; simply done

  April 3, 2020

  ---

  Today I have another card featuring the new Ornate Garden products; the new early release from the upcoming 2020 Annual Catalog.  You can see all of it here. 

  For this card I chose to use the Ornate Border dies for the pretty edge. The greeting is from the Ornate Thanks set and the embossed daisy is from the Ornate Style stamp set.

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  You might see a little halo around the right daisy…. I first stamped it in Terracotta Tile, but it didn't show up well enough.  So I tried to stamp again to heat emboss it in White.  I was off a bit but I'm okay with it anyway. The stitched oval is a die from the Stitched Shapes dies.  

  I made a bunch of these for a swap last month; it's a pretty easy card with just a few special 'extras'.

• Stamp with me! Tonight: Thursday, April 2nd at 8 pm on Facebook Live

  April 2, 2020

  ---

  Sadly, my April events are all cancelled due to the current pandemic.  I haven't had a month without seeing my stamping friends in many, many years!  We're having virtual clubs instead this month but it just won't be the same!

  I know many of you are in the same situation so I decided to do a weekly 'Stamp with Me' Facebook Live on Thursdays at 8 pm CDT. It's a virtual stamping class. Join me Thursday night, April 2nd here on my FB page.

  We'll be making these 3 cards plus a bonus technique I'll demonstrate. Remember you don't have to use these exact products!  You can easily substitute other paper, stamps etc.

  If you don't have the Magnolia Lane designer paper you can use any other paper you own instead.  It will be fun to see what everyone uses; we'll share our projects with each other afterwards.

  Measurements:

  • Card bases; one White 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", two of Mossy Meadow 4 1/4" X 11" 
  • Designer Paper – two designs cut at 4" square. Cut one  on the diagonal in half.  For the other, make a mark at 1 1/4" from the upper right and also from the lower left. 
  • Good Morning Magnolia stamp set

  Extras: (it might look like a long list; but it's mostly accessories) 

  • Black Memento & Petal Pink inks
  • Blends markers – Petal Pink, Light Mossy Meadow
  • one large oval die-cut (largest Stitched Shape oval die or cut a rectangle at 2 1/2" X 3 1/2") 
  • a 1 1/2" White circle and a Petal Pink Pretty Label punched piece. (You can easily substitute any shapes here)
