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!

• Ombre sponging technique with Flowering Foils

  March 5, 2020

  ---

  Before I talk about today's project I have to let you know that they Golden Honey Designer Paper is no longer available.  It was one of the free choices during Sale-a-Bration.  Unfortunately these products are only available while supplies last. So don't delay on your orders!  

  This next card is a version of a card I'm sending to my new Team members who purchased the Starter kit this month.  I chose to use Bermuda Bay with Black and White; you know the 'Black & White with a pop of color' theme.  It's a classic and always works!

  I started out with a 2" X 5" strip of the Flowering Foils specialty designer paper.  It's gorgeous with silver and rose gold foil designs. You can see it here.  It's a free choice with any $50 order while supplies last.  

  I inked a wedge of sponge in Bermuda Bay ink and lightly sponged from bottom up.  I always start off of the card stock when I want a smooth look.  Also sponge in a soft circular motion; almost like you are washing it.  You can see me demo this in my FB Live video here. 

  Other Details:

  • Rare Blessings stamp set for the greeting
  • Stitched So Sweetly dies
  • pearls are colored with the dark Bermuda Bay Blends marker
  • The flower is fussy cut from the same designer paper and colored with light Bermuda Bay Blends marker

  I made a pretty stitched frame with the Stitched Rectangles dies and Silver Foil paper.  Added a greeting and a fussy cut flower from the Flowering Foils paper.  I sponged it with Petal Pink ink for a bit of soft color.

  Check out this 'One Sheet Box' made from one 12 X 12" sheet of Designer paper!  It's a really nice size; big enough to hold quite a few cookies inside it.  

  • Score the 12 x 12 paper at 3″ and 9 inches
  • Rotate paper and score at 1″, 3 1/2″, 6 1/2″ and 9 inches. You can watch the video below to see it made.
