Monochromatic Year of Flowers

Do you love a monochromatic card? I know I do. When I began stamping this was a great way of creating cards with limited supplies. And our In Colors both are great to start with since there are only 5 colors in a family or to add fun trendy colors to your collection.

Today’s card is a monochromatic card highlighting our Strawberry Slush 2025-2027 In Color.

This card uses two different Online Exclusives, the Year of the Flower stamp set (Online Exclusive 165367) and Painted Stripes stamp (Online Exclusive 165437).

This stamp set contains a full year of stamps with monthly flowers making it wonderful for birthday cards all year round.

The Painted Stripes stamp is a large stamp with built in shading so it’s a great stamp for backgrounds and adding a bit of interest to a project, And when you use a punch like the Modern Oval Punch ( 162234) stamping is easy. I loved punches when I first started stamping since they allowed me to get great centered images every time. Simply flip the punch over, line it up in the window, and punch!

And of course a bit of texture has been added with the Strawberry Slush 3/8″ Faux Linen Ribbon (165274) which is lovely and ties wonderfully.

Did you know that each of our In Colors have a variety of options to choose from? You can buy our assortment packs, or individual pack of card stock. Accessories come in assortment packs. Or like our ribbon individual colors making it a great way to quickly choose a color and get started crafting.

Best wishes with our Sunrise Sailing

Sand, sea, and sun. What does that make you think of? For me spending time at the lake front in Milwaukee and watching the boats on the water. They looked so elegant out in distance against the blue skies.

Today’s card uses our Sunrise Sailing Bundle (Online Exclusive 165497) filled with lovely sentiments and nautical images. The color has been added using a Blending Brush to hit the embossed image after it’s been cut out with the coordinating die. Isn’t it cool that our Hybrid Embossing Folders like this allow you to cut out the images and dry emboss them like this? A bit of color has also been added to the water and sky so the clouds pop on the Cloud Cover background.

And for a little shine our Holographic Resin Dots (Online Exclusive 165598) have been added.

Look interesting? Why not stop by my Online Store and check out this very popular Bundle today?
