STAMPIN FRIENDS MONOCHROMATIC MARCH BLOG HOP

3/26/2021

 How can it already be March 26th...I feel like this month has gone by so quickly! And it's even more shocking to me how much our lives have changed since last March! I am excited that things seem to be moving along nicely lately. And with that said I am also excited to share with a fun Monochromatic Project for the March Stampin Friends Blog Hop.
I hop you joined me from Heidi Collin's Blog and after viewing mine, be sure to continue on to Melissa Thomas's Blog. And if you get lost along the way, there is a list of hoppers at the end of the blog. And please welcome Kirsty Pattrick to the hop this month!!! We are excited to have her join us. I hop you check out her projects!!
I chose my favorite colors to make my projects. I used Old Olive with a mix of the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper.

Lets start with the Mini Gift bag. It so easy to make. You will need a piece of card stock or DSP that measures 6x9. If you choose a patterned paper that has a directional pattern, be sure to make sure the paper is in the right position before you begin scoring. You can refer to my video below to see what I mean.
​
Using your SImply Scored Score Bored, with the 9" side at the top, score at 1/2, 3 1/2, 4 3/4 and 7 3/4
Turn to the 6" side and score at 1 1/4 and 4 3/4.
Fold and burnish your score lines. You will have 2 scores lines at the top and at the bottom that are 1 1/4 wide choose what will be the top of the bag and what is the bottom. The top, fold on the score line, opposite, so the fold is on the ouside of the bag and the reverse pattern is visible.  
On the bottom, remove that 1/2" bit up to the 1 1/4 score line. Then cut up to that score line for the others. Adhere the top fold down. Add adhesive to the remaining 1/2 side and fold to meet the opposite edge. Fold the bottom flaps in to create the bag.
I deocrated the front by stamping the images with the Forver Fern Stamp Set, using Old Olive, and then cutting out with the coordintating dies. I stamped the greeting on a 1 1/2 circle. Finished with a Old Olive bow. 
Such a perfect little bag for a gift card, some candy or treats! Whatever you need!!!!

My card has a lot of layers but I assure you it comes together quickly.
In the picture to the right, I show to verisons, one in Old Olive Cardstock and one slightly stepped up using the Forver Greenery DSP. The dimensions are the same for both, but I added some ribbon to the DSP one. 

To make the card you will need the following layers.
Old Olive or DSP 5 1/4x 4
Basic White 5 1/4x3
Old Olive or DSP 3 1/4x 4
Old Olive or DSP (4 strips) 3/4 x 2 3/4, 3/4 x 3, 3/4 x 3 1/4, 3/4 x 3 1/2
Picture
I used dimensionals to assemble the first layer, on Basic White I stamped the greeting and image from the Forever Fern Stamp set in Old Olive. I then added each strip, with Stampin Seal, from left to right, adding the smallest strip to the largest. I added the Basic White layer using dimensionals. I added some rhinsetones that I colored using the Stampin Blends Dark Old Olive marker. 
​For the card with the DSP, I added the ribbon around the Basic White layer and finished it in a bow, before adhering it to the card.

I have created this video for you to refer to while making the bag and card. I have also added a bonus mini card!
I hope you enjoyed my projects. I had lots of fun designing them for you!
Be sure to leave a comment and hop to the next!
Thanks so much for visiting!
Happy Stampin

FUN WITH PARTS & PIECES
Challenge: Make three lovely cards using the following supplies, but give them each a unique look. A Crushed Curry card base A 3-3/4" x 5" (9.5 x 12.7 cm) piece of white cardstock A 4" x 3/4" (10.2 x 1.9 cm) piece of Cajun Craze Cardstock A 5-1/2" x 2" (14 x 5.1 cm) piece of Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper Life Is Beautiful Stamp Set

Stampin Up's concept artist accepted this challenge, and now look at all of the lovely cards: one for summer, one for autumn, and one all-occasion card! We particularly wanted to draw your attention to the card with three 1-5/8" x 3-3/4" (4.1 x 9.5 cm) panels. The first depicts late summer/early autumn, the second shows a tree in full autumn glory, and the third panel illustrates a tree preparing to cozy up and hibernate for the winter. By changing the number and color of the leaves in each panel, our artist was able to suggest the seasonal progression—and create a fun build-up of leaves on the bottom of the card, which gets bigger with each panel. #stampinup #stampinandscrappinwithsteph #lifeisbeautiful

Although fall scents are not in the air yet......I can't wait for the fall smells and the crisp air. I look forward to apple and pumpkin picking and baking pies! The smells of cinnamon as soon as you walk in!!  Another fall inspired card that’s a little bit spicy! Cajun Craze and Cinnamon Cider are perfect seasonal blend! There are so many color options with the Plaid Tidings DSP.....you will find for any fall/winter holiday. I know I will be reaching for this paper to create with over and over!!!! Make sure you add the pack to your Mini Catalog Wish List! #gatheredtogether #harvesthellos #plaidtidings #stampinup #stampinandscrappinwithsteph @stephjandrowstamps #msscardchallenge13

Today I am sharing a little alternate card I used the same layout and stamp/dies as the card I shared in yesterday's blog post, but changed the patterned paper color!!! I can not get enough of the new Plaid Tidings paper. I combined Pumpkin Pie and Rich Razzleberry with the new Plaid Tidings DSP, Gathered Together Stamp set and coordinating Gathered Leaves dies (returning favorites).  You will be able to get your hands on these fun fall products on August 4th when the new Stampin Up Mini Catalog is live for ordering! Be sure to let me know if you are in need of a catalog!!!

Some fun cards going in the mail today using the Stampin Up Share Sunshine PDF download and the It Starts with Art retired suite. The Share Sunshine PDF Download has ended and we are happy to announce that the proceeds for this digital stamp set totaled $218,196. 100% of these proceeds will be donated to COVID-19 response funds benefitting frontline workers and vulnerable communities! Thank you to everyone who purchased this download!!!
These cards were super easy to use. 
I used a combination of colors for my cardbases, Blushing Bride, Coastal Cabana, Crushed Curry and Island Indigo which measure 5 1/2x8 1/2 scored at 4 1/4 then fold in half. The DSP is now retired but was from the It Starts with Art Suite. 
The DSP measures 4x5 1/4
I printed out the pages of the PDF on whisper white and cut of the greetings using the Stitched Rectangles and Layering Ovals.
I then stamped and cut of the images and colored them with coordinating Stampin Blends!!!!
