Welcome to the 2023 Stampin Friends March Blog Hop! This month we are sharing monochromatic cards.  Monochromatic cards are fun to make, focusing on 1 color and making it shine! There are so many possibilities! For my card I chose Stampin Up Sun Prints DSP and the Blessings of Home Stamp Set.
 
Be sure to hop along to each participant's blog, you can find a list of our blog hop participants below. After viewing my projects, continue on to Tiziana Milano'ss blog to see her monochromatic card!  
As you go through the hop, if you feel like you could do this, send me a message! We are always looking for crafters who love to create and share!!!

Be sure to leave comments along the way, I'd love to hear what you think!!!

I chose a Fun Fold for my card using the Sun Prints DSP. This designer paper is so pretty it features a fern and botanical imagery with a mix of blue and with colors on one side and Gray Granite and white on the other side I thought it was perfect to use for a monochromatic theme.
To make the card, you need:
Cardstock - I used Night of Navy
Basic white and pieces for stamping.
Rhinestones 
Circle punches or dies
Night of Navy in and Stampin Blends

Directions 
Cardbase 5 1/2x9 - on the 9" side score at 4 1/4 and 7 1/4 and piece to punch circle layer
Basic White 4 x 5 1/4, I used Stitched Circle and piece that was 3/4 x 3 for the greeting

DSP 2 at 1 1/4 x 4 1/4, 1 3/4 x 4 1/4 and 2 3/4x 4 1/4

Fold the cardbase in half on the 4 1/4 score line and then fold back on the 7 1/4 score line.  Stamp the floral images in Night of Navy onto the Basic White Layer. Stamp the greeting on the 3/4 strip,and stamp the flower on the circle.  Add the Basic White layer to the inside of the card.  Take the 2 - 1 1/4 adhere on to the section on the cardfront - left side.  And the the other one on the inside to the right edge of the Basic White. Adhere the 1 3/4 piece to the top piece that is folded over. The 2 3/4 piece goes on the inside section. See picture below.

I colored the flowers using my Night of Navy blends and layered onto the Night of Navy Circle. Attached to the card front with dimensionals. Then I added the greeting with dimensionals over the center of the circle.  I finish it off with Rhinestones, that I colored using the Dark Night of Navy Stampin Blends. 

I hope you enjoy the card that I made for this month's blog hop.

Sometimes the hardest cards we have to make is due to loss of someone we love dearly! This includes our pets! We all know that animals become part of our family and we mourn them just as much as a person!
I needed to create a special card for a co-worker who lost her beloved dog! I pulled out some of retired items that I couldn't part with to make the card! I used the Stampin Up Playful Pets DSP and the following stamp sets, Peaceful Moments, Pampered Pets and Happy Tails. I also used the Dog Builder punch and Be Mine dies. For the card, I used a combo of Basic Black, Real Red, Crumb Cake and Basic White.
My cardbase is Basic White
You will need:
4x5 1/4 Basic Black 
3 3/4x5 Basic White
DSP cut 3 1/12x 3/12 and cut an offset triangle..cut pint to almost half of the other side
Large Stitched Heart - Be Mine Dies cut in Real Red
1 Dog punched in Crumb Cake and the heart from the punch in Real Red 
I used the twine combo that was included in the Playful Pets Suite and some Matte Black dots
​
To assemble:
Stamp the greeting from Pampered Pets in Momento Black Ink onto the Basic White Layer.
Attach the Basic White layer onto the Basic Black layer and attach to the cardbase using dimensionals.
Add the DSP to the bottom of the Basic White. 
Tie the 2 twines around the Stitched Heart and finish in a bow. Attach the heart to the dog with a glue dot. Add the dog to the Stitched Heart with dimensionals 
Attached the Stiched Heart to the cardbase with dimensionals.
Embellish with 3 Matte Black dots.

I stamped the inside of the card with the greeting from the Peaceful Moments Stamp Set with a Paw Print from the Playful Pets Stamp Set. Both also stamped in the Momento Black Ink.

I also added a piece of the same DSP to the envelope flap to create a completed look. 

I love how the card came out.
Let me know what you think!!!

Thank you for stopping by!
