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. Please visit Tiziana's blog and leave a comment! Thanks for hopping with me today! Happy Stampin ​Steph
