Ink, Stamp and Share Monochromatic Blog Hop

Welcome to our Ink and Share Blog Hop featuring projects designed by fellow Stampin’ Up! Independent Demonstrators and me. This month, we are featuring monochromatic color scheme for the design focal point. If you are hopping around, you have arrived from Sandrine’s blog and her fabulous project.

Here is my design…

Cardstock is cut at 4.25×11 inches. Score at 5.5 and 2.75 inches for a unique, fun fold.

This is my retirement party farewell to the stamp set, Lovely as a Tree. It’s worked 18 years with a copyright of 2001. If you don’t already have it in your stash, there are a few more days to order it!

Thanks for stopping at my blog! Now click the next image to hop to Karen Pearmain’s blog to see what fabulous project she designed.

Paper Crafting Blog Hop Guy Cards

May 15, 2019May 14, 20194 Comments

I hope you are enjoying our Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators Blog Hop featuring Happy Father’s Day/thinking of you/guy designs. Fellow demonstrators from all over the globe are participating so we have a wide array of fun projects to share with you! You may have arrived from Sandy Ward’s blog. She had a fabulous project!

You will never guess what is on the opposite side of this designer series paper… it’s flowers! Look at the back side of your favorite floral pattern papers. Often, there will be a pattern that is suitable for all occasion designs. This particular pattern is part of the Garden Impressions paper pack.

Use the Oh My Stars embossing folder on the pattern paper for greater visual appeal. Add Twinkle sequin stars to the center of the night of navy stamped stars. Linen thread in the power of 3 is wrapped around a 1 inch banner created with the triple banner punch.

I usually line the inside of the card with whisper white but the bright color did not work the earthy color scheme. Instead, I used the leftover over 1×3 inch dsp piece to decorate the top along with the stamped stars along the side to bring a little of the outside to the inside. Use our paper snips to create a custom banner.
