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!

  I used Black ink for the greetings and swirls and the In Color inks for the daisy. The Medium Daisy punch is part of a bundle with the Daisy Lane stamp set seen here. Remember that it will not be available as a bundle after May, 2020. Even if both items return in the next catalog, bundles always retire from one catalog to the next. 

  Here's the Lovely Lipstick version:

  Each Thursday at 8 pm CT we'll finish 3 cards together in about 30 minutes.   Prep your pieces ahead of time using the measurements I provide and you'll be surprised how quickly you can make your cards!  Join me here: 

  I used the Best Dressed Designer paper seen here but you can substitute other paper, colors, stamps and punches. The stamped greetings are from the Peaceful Moments set here. I use this stamp set so much; the sentiments are wonderful.

  After the video many people share their finished cards. It's so fun to see what products everyone uses and how similar (or not) they are to mine. 

  Here are the details and close up views of these three cards:

• Color Challenge with Seriously the Best with Ornate Frames

  April 16, 2020

  ---

  My Flowerbug's Team had a color challenge this past month – to use Black and White with a 'Pop' of color.  Here's the card I made: 

  
  
  
  
  Save
  

  This card literally took me 5 minutes to make.  Here's the steps:

  1. Cut a White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2"
  2. Cut the See a Silhouette DSP to 4" X 5 1/4".  Adhere to the card
  3. Die-cut two pieces a White 2 1/2" X 4"  stitched rectangle and a Black Ornate Frame.
  4. Stamp the greeting and leaves in Black Memento ink.  Add the flowers in Poppy Parade ink. Adhere to the card.
  5. Stamp the 'I miss you a lot' greeting on a scrap of White. Punch out with the Classic Label punch. Add with mini dimensionals.
  6. Add a few rhinestones. Done! 

  You can see the See a Silhouette stamp set here and the Ornate Frames dies here.  Remember that if you order any Ornate bundle from me in April you get a free 3 cards pre-cut kit!  Details below:
