Lovely Arrangements Hello Friend Card - Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop - Pumpkin Pie 2026

 Good Morning Everyone,

Yesterday I took part in the Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop. I absolutely love this Hop as it pushes me to create within a stricter theme than I may normally do - Sticking to a full on Monochromatic card in soe of our colours - as beautiful as they are, can be a bit of a challenge for me!

This week we are Showcasing Pumpkin Pie and although I love it, the thought of a card full of Pumpkin Pie only really scared me! haha.

I did it though and by using Basic Beige as my neutral - it gives such a different effect to using either Basic White or Very Vanilla which look bright against Pumpkin Pie. 

What do you think?

---------------------------------

Take the Pumpkin Pie card stock and fold along the score line to create your card base - adding the larger piece of Basic Beige card stock to the inside.

Ink up the full flower outline in Memento ink and stamp all over the remaining piece of Basic Beige and then add to the card front.

Stamp three of the same flowers onto a scrap of Basic Beige Card Stock.

Colour these flowers in using your Pumpkin Pie Stampin' Blends. I love how soft the colour looks when used on Basic Beige. It's much lighter than the card stock, giving you two shades.

Bring in your Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine and cut out the flowers using the coordinating die, cut the sentiment strip from Basic Beige and the circle panel in Pumpkin Pie card stock.

Add the Pumpkin Pie circle die cut into the centre of the card front, then place the three flowers, with dimensionals, down the left hand side of the card onto the edge of the circles, so they cover some of it. 

Ink up the sentiment in Memento Black ink and stamp onto the remaining die cut pieces. Add this to the card front positioning it so that it overlaps the middle flower slightly. I popped a dot of liquid glue under the part where it sits over the flower, then dimensionals towards the right side so that they are all at the same level.

I hope you liked my card today - It works so well with Pumpkin Pie - but I reckon It would probably work as a monotone card with every simple Stampin' Up! colour - I may have a go at recreating this in some of my faves!
