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!

Golden Honey Scrapbook Class with a kit to go option

March 13, 2020

Scrapbooking was my first paper crafting hobby. Now I spend a lot more time making cards than I do scrapbook pages.

I just knew the Golden Honey specialty designer paper would make gorgeous layouts! This designer paper is no longer available during Sale-a-Bration but I have a supply of it for these classes.

Save

I made 5 beautiful, unique layouts with 12 X 12" card stock. Because this paper is black and white based with some gold accents I could add lots of fun colors to create my layouts. I LOVE black and white with a pop of color on my projects!

Here's a full view of two of them. This first layout has Bermuda Bay as the main color with the Detailed Bee dies. The page title is from the Hand-Lettered Prose dies seen here.

Save

Here's another one in all black and white with gold accents. I added daisy punched accents on this page.

Save

There isn't any stamping on these pages; it's all pre-cut, punched or die-cut pieces. It also includes the embellishments too. All you need is adhesive so it's perfect to finish up at home!

The class is on Saturday, March 28th at 2 pm. The cost is $25 for all 10 pages. It's also available as a kit to go for both local and long distance customers. It's an extra $5 for shipping. RSVP by March 19th to receive a kit.

The kit includes everything you see; pre-cut pieces, die-cuts, photos and tips on assembly. Kits are mailed out at the end of March.

Lily Impressions DSP; make the most of your paper with this fun-fold card!

March 12, 2020
Do you struggle with double sided designer paper? What if you love both sides of the paper and cannot decide which one to use? Well I have a solution for you with this fun fold card!

Save

I created these cards for my March thank you's for online orders. They feature the Lily Impressions designer paper from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. One side of the papers is all water lilies with an impressionistic feel and the other has washed patterns. The colors are bright and vibrant!

On the above card the colors are Purple Posy with Blackberry Bliss and Garden Green. The pretty punched corners are from the Detailed Trio punch seen here.

The stamp set and dies are from my top pick for Bundles in the 2020 January – June mini catalog – the So Sentimental bundle seen here:

Save

The front right panel opens on just one side. It's a perfect layout for your designer paper and all you need to do is add a punched or die-cut layer across both panels.

Save

The colors on the card above are Pretty Peacock with Melon Mambo. I used the Pretty Peacock rhinestones as accents.

Save

Measurements:
- Card stock is 4 1/4" X 9" scored at 5 1/2"

Mountain Air with Stitched Nested Labels

March 11, 2020
This month I'm featuring the Mountain Air bundle; a fantastic set of stamps and dies that make creating scenes so easy. I created 10 beautiful scenic cards to share with anyone who orders this bundle from me this month. It's also free to anyone who places an online order. *Details below

Here's one of my favorites made with the Stitched Nested Label dies and the Stone embossing folder.

Save

The Stitched Nested Label dies are in the annual catalog and you can see them here online.

Save

You might wonder how I achieved the textured white washed background. I first textured the Smoky Slate card stock with the Stone 3D embossing folder. Then I lightly rubbed my White Craft ink pad directly onto the card stock. Let dry or heat set with an embossing tool. Such a fabulous look!

The Stone 3D embossing folder is part of the Power of Hope bundle from the 2020 Sale-a-Bration catalog seen here. It's free with the Power of Hope stamp set for any $100 order while supplies last. It's already on the low inventory list!

Save

Other details:
- Colors are Smoky Slate, Pretty Peacock, Basic Gray and Whisper White
- The trees are stamped in Pretty Peacock; one in full strength ink and the other second generation ink (stamped off once). They're die-cut with the Majestic Mountain dies.
- The greeting is from the Well Said stamp set (one you can get FREE with the purchase of the Starter kit! #BestDealEver!)
