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!

Over the Moon Fun-Fold card

February 27, 2020
My friend Marilyn made this card for a swap with her Card Club this month. Many of my Club gals swap cards every other month. They are loving this and actually 'using' their products!

It's made with the 'Over the Moon' stamp set seen here.

Isn't it cute? It's a fun fold card where the front panel swings open on the bottom.

The black spots look like patterned paper but they're stamped using the 'Love What You Do' stamp set seen here. Aren't they perfect?!!!

Positive Thoughts with Nature’s Thoughts dies; stamp once but get two layers!

February 26, 2020

These pretty cards were made on one of my recent Facebook Live videos. See it here:

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is easily a big favorite from the January – June Mini catalog. And now we have dies that coordinate with it called Nature's Thoughts; see them here.

Save

I stamped both white layers at the same time; I believe this technique is called double (or triple) time stamping. After stamping I sponged the edges and used the stitched rectangle die from the Nature's Thoughts set to cut out the top layer. Next add it to the next layer before adding to your card. Easy!

Save

The colors here are Bermuda Bay and Gorgeous Grape. See the detail on the dies here? Gorgeous!

Save

These colors are Blueberry Bushel with Bermuda Bay. I also sponged the die-cut feathers and sponged those too. That little butterfly is also from the Nature's Thoughts dies.

These dies are part of the Coordination Product Release available now; while supplies last. Here's a link to the Positive Thoughts stamp set.

Sending Flowers Die creates a beautiful circle of flowers!

February 25, 2020
We made this pretty card at my Flowerbug's Team meeting last month. It features the new Sending You Flowers die that's available in the Coordination Product Release. You can see all 5 new items here:

This unique die cuts out the center of your paper; not the outside. It gives you a beautiful bouquet of flowers in a frame. That cute greeting banner is also part of the die set.

Details:
- The greeting is from the Timeless Tulips stamp set and is heat embossed in White embossing powder on Calypso Coral CS.
- The ribbon is the 1/4" White crinkled ribbon colored with the Dark Pool Party Blends marker.
- The flowers and stems are colored with Blends markers; they color so easily!
- That pretty designer paper behind the window is the Follow Your Art paper in the annual catalog on page 165.
