Monochromatic Sweet Blooms

Posted on June 19, 2025 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card is a monochromatic card using one of our new 2057-2027 In Colors, Secret Sea. This color in a deep, deep blue and a wonderful addition to our colors. I just love using it as a neutral on the things I’ve been creating.

This card uses the Sweet Blooms Dies (165186) and the sentiments to build it’s focal point. The Secret Sea Card stock panels have been dry embossed with the Eyelet 3D Embossing Folder (163414) for some added texture and a piece of white twine from the Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) is wrapped around a couple of those panels and tied into a knot.

And of course for a bit of shine the 2025-2027 In Color Flat Pearls (165192) have been tucked into the left hand corner. You’re going to LOVE these two options for Flat Pearls with their iridescent sheen in all 10 In Colors.

Monochromatic cards are a great way to get started stamping. It’s how I started building my color collection when I first started stamping. I’d picked a favorite color, such as Secret Sea, and then each month purchased the ink pad, card stock pack, and one two accessories to go with it. It’s an easy way to get started creating.

And did you know that today’s Sweet Blooms Bundle (165186) is part of a Suite of products? The Florals in Bloom Suite (165193) can be found on page 40 – 47 of the Annual Catalog and also has Memory Keeping options that coordinate with it too.

Spotlight on Nature OnStage After Hours Card Tutorial

Posted on May 17, 2024 by Stamp with Jini

Today’s card uses a favorite from the 2024 Annual Catalog, the Spotlight on Nature Stamp set (163579).

This set has some lovely images and all occasions sentiments and a versatile set of dies that coordinate with it.

We made this card during our After Hours event in Houston and Stampin’ Up! gave us a sketch that I’ve changed up a little bit and made my own for my Sketch Tool Ring I shared with you earlier. Make sure to scroll down since I’ll share it with you today too.

This will be the first of the 3 cards we made during the After Hours Event. But today here is the card we made using 2 of our NEW In Colors Summer Splash and Shy Shamrock. While they might look similar when apart, you can definitely tell the difference when layered together. I fell in love with the Summer Splash as soon as I saw it and wasn’t real sure about the Shy Shamrock, but am finding I really like using it in my stamping too.

Here is a quick video on how I put this make n take together for you along with the PDF with the supply list, measurements, and step by step instructions.

And of course here is my Card Sketch #27

And here is the PDF so you can make one too as a design tool too.

On a personal note:

You may have noticed I didn’t post every day this week. I had some unexpected appointments that took a lot of time, so I wasn’t able to share like I wanted to. I’ll be having a procedure done next week, and may not be sharing quite as much as I normally do, but I have some things set up that I think you’ll enjoy.

Of course, I’m happy to help and I will be available, but might not be able to respond as quickly as normal.

Enjoy!

This first card using the Cheers to the Season stamp set (162309) that has images for all the winter holidays.

As you can see the Distinktive stamp type already do the work for you. This card uses our Cajun Craze for a warm fall feel.

It also uses those wonderful Deckled Circle Dies (162286), Painted Texture 3D Embossing Folder (154317), Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), and Baker’s Twine Essential Pack (155475) that is part of our Seasonal Sale offerings.

And this next card uses the Autumn Leaves Bundle (162186) along with a simple stamping off method to create two different shades of Moody Mauve.

It also uses our those Brushed Metallic Adhesive Backed Dots (156506), this time the copper ones. It also uses the natural trim from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack (162192). The ribbon has simply been cut in half to create a smaller width.
