Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 48 - Bubble Bath

Welcome to Week 48 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Bubble Bath from the Subtles Collections. This soft and pretty pink was so much fun to work with and I had so much fun creating this delicate Thinking of You card design for this week's challenge.

With the cold, dreary weather we have been experiencing lately here in Colorado, it was a welcome change to create with this beautiful pale pink to create a lovely card design using the Butterfly Sketches stamp set with one of the Paper Butterfly Accents. I added texture to the background with the Cute Crochet 3D Embossing Folder and I added soft color with a Blending Brush to apply Bubble Bath Classic ink to the raised embossing to help bring out the detail.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 46 - Lemon Lime Twist

Welcome to Week 46 of the Monochromatic Color Challenge as we showcase Lemon Lime Twist. This chameleon like color is so versatile and works well for so many occasions. I love that it is the perfect blend of yellow and green that can add a fresh, fun look to your projects. 

For my card design today, I decided to create a fun snowman themed card with a difference. Can you imagine a snowman chilling on the beach with his parrot buddy? Of course, I had to give him a cool Hawaiian shirt and hat to help keep the sun off and I had fun using the paper piecing technique to color and texture. Paper piecing is a wonderful way to add color to an image without actually having to color, so if you are not a fan of coloring, maybe this technique is for you? I stamped the images onto two different patterns of Lemon Lime Twist Designer Series Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and then I fussy cut them out to add to my snowman. I think he is a sharp dressed snowman, don't you?

Products Used:

Snowman Hugs stamp set (item #164315)

Deckled Circles Dies (item #162286)

Deckled Rectangles Dies (item #159173)

Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper (item #163775)

Measurements:

Lemon Lime Twist Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Large Circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies

Sentiment Label die cut with the Deckled Rectangles Dies

Lemon Lime Twist Designer Series Paper

Card Front - 5" x 3 3/4"

Hat stamped and fussy cut 

Shirt stamped and fussy cut

I really wanted to go with the fun Hawaii tropical beach theme for my card and the patterns in the Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper Pack were a perfect fit. I used the same design for the card front as I did for the shirt and I colored the flowers on the shirt with the Dark Bubble Bath Stampin' Blends Marker to add to the tropical feel. The hat image was stamped on the polka dot pattern and I thought it gave it an almost camo feel to the hat. I love the look of the deckled edges for the focal circle and the sentiment label and I love how they pop against the Lemon Lime Twist card front. To complete the card design, I added two of the small Lemon Lime Twist Gems from the Tinsel Gems Four Pack for a touch of bling. Imagine sending this card to someone during the Winter to help warm their heart and brighten their day. 

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my sweet snowman card will inspire you to explore creating your own fun projects for the holidays and beyond using Lemon Lime Twist.

One of my favorite things to do at this time of the year is to create Christmas cards. There is something about the cooler weather of Fall that puts me in a festive mood. For today's card, I chose to use the new Christmas Friends Bundle paired with the Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper to create this beary sweet Christmas card. I chose to use Pretty Peacock cardstock for the card base and background circle to help make the designer series card front pop. I added some texture to the background circle with the new Painted Trees 3D Embossing Folder to help step up the design. This clean and simple Christmas card is so cute and really helped me to get into the spirit of the holiday season.

The Christmas Friends Bundle is one of my favorites from the new mini catalog and I couldn't wait to create a card design with it. I love how the Sentimental Christmas Designer Paper provides the perfect background for the sweet bear image. To add a little shimmer to the card design, I added some Clear Wink of Stella to the embossed trees to help them stand out. I colored the bear image with an assortment of Stampin' Blends Markers to help bring him to life. For the sentiment label, I stamped the image with Pretty Peacock Classic ink and die cut the sentiment with the Stylish Shapes Dies. To complete the card design, I colored two of the small Iridescent Pearls with the Dark Poppy Parade Stampin' Blends Marker and added them to the sentiment label for a touch of bling.

For the sentiment, I chose the sentiments from the More Than Autumn stamp set and heat embossed them with Gold embossing powder onto a Basic White circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies. I added the sentiment to the bottom left corner with Stampin' Dimensionals to pop it up. For the finishing touch, I added a simple Linen Thread bow.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 34 - Cherry Cobbler

Happy Friday everyone. It's time for Week 34 of the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge. This week we are showcasing Cherry Cobbler from the Regals Collection. I am excited to share with you what I have created using this beautiful red using some Sneak Peek products from the upcoming September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. 

For my card design this week, I chose to create a Thinking of You card design using the new Winterly Treetops Bundle with the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper. I used Watercolor Pencils to color the image and smoothed out the pencil lines using a Blender Pen to give a soft, watercolor look. I love the texture that the designer series paper adds to the background and helps give it an organic feel. This beautiful clean and simple card design is a wonderful way to let someone know that you care and are thinking of them.

This beautiful card design showcases how versatile Cherry Cobbler can be. This deep red works well with Gold accents and I love how the Gold embossing pops on the Cherry Cobbler cardstock sentiment label. I used a Cherry Cobbler card base to frame the designer series paper card front and also to frame the focal circle. For the focal image, I stamped the image using Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto Basic White cardstock and the colored the image using Watercolor Pencils. I used a Blender Pen to soften the pencil lines and give the image that wonderful watercolor look. I used the coordinating dies to die cut the image out and attached it to the Basic White circle die cut using Mini Stampin' Dimensionals. To complete the card design, I added several Gold Sequins for a touch of bling. I love how this card design turned out and I think it is the perfect design to send to someone to let them know that they are loved.

Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 33 - Garden Green

Welcome to the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Color Challenge Week 33 as we showcase Garden Green from the Regals Collection. For today's card design, I wanted to create one of the most difficult types of cards to make - sympathy cards. It is never easy to lose a loved one and a sympathy card is a way to help provide comfort during this difficult time. 

Garden Green is a beautiful medium green and I thought it would be perfect for my sympathy card design. To create the background for my design, I chose to use one of the designs from the Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper, which is a Sneak Peek from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog. This striped background has an organic feel to it and the soft watercolor look creates a soothing feeling. For the focal design and sentiment, I chose to use the Quiet Reflection stamp set. There is something so peaceful about the images in this stamp set and I love the font for the sentiments. I wanted to keep this design clean and simple so I chose not to use any embellishments to clutter up the design. 

Products Used:

Quiet Reflection stamp set (item #162689)

Deckled Circles Dies (item #162286)

Nested Essentials Dies (item #161597)

Nests of Winter Designer Series Paper (item #164183)*

Garden Green Cardstock (item #102584)

Basic White Cardstock (item #159276)

Garden Green Classic Ink Pad (item #147089)

*Sneak Peek product from the September-December 2024 Mini Catalog

Measurements:

Garden Green Cardstock

Card Base - 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" (Scored at 4 1/4")

Small Rectangle die cut with the Nested Essentials Dies

Medium Circle die cut with the Deckled Circles Dies

I often choose to use clean and simple designs for sympathy cards. At a time when someone is going through pain and loss, it can help to bring peace and share love when most needed. For this card design, I felt that Garden Green was a beautiful color to help create a peaceful design with an organic feel to it. The trees in the stamped image have an almost elegant feel to them and I love how this image looks stamped with Garden Green Classic ink. I framed the image with a Garden Green cardstock layer to help frame it against the striped background. For the sentiment, I stamped the image with Garden Green Classic ink onto Basic White cardstock and die cut it out with one of the Deckled Circles Dies. I adhered the focal image to the card front using Stampin' Dimensionals, placing it to the left side and then added the sentiment circle so that it overlapped slightly with the bottom right corner of the image. The finished card showcases this beautiful green by simply using stamps, paper and ink to provide comfort during a difficult time.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog. I hope that my card design will help inspire you to use Garden Green to create your own beautiful projects. This beautiful green is perfect for all occasions and for any time of the year.
