Inspiring Iris Sending Hugs Monochrome Greeting Card. Share it on a Sunday

Good Morning everyone,

It's Sunday, so you know what that means! Yes, that's right it's Share it on a Sunday!! This week is Monochrome week. Now, I always seem to struggle with this concept. My brain seems to get flustered when I can only use one colour haha but I love how my card has turned out.

Measurements

Very Vanilla Cardstock

1pc - 8 1/4" x 5 7/8", scored at 4 1/8"

1pc - scrap

Crumb Cake Cardstock

1pc - scrap

Neutrals 6x6" DSP Pack Stack

Soft Suede

1pc - 5 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Early Espresso

1pc - 3 7/8" x 2 1/8"

Fold your Very Vanilla Cardstock along the score line to create your card base.

Take the Two piece of DSP and glue down the strip on top of the lager piece about 1 1/4" from the left. Add this panel to the card front.

With your Cut & Emboss machine, cut out two of the Stitched Nested Labels Dies, one in Crumb Cake and a smaller one in Very Vanilla.

On the Very Vanilla one, stamp the outline image and sentiment in Early espresso ink. Then use the solid stamps to 'colour' in the flower. I used Crumb cake for the petals and sot suede for the leaves.

Layer this piece to the larger crumb cake die cut and add to your card front using dimensionals.

Please head over and see what Donna and Karen have both created for this theme...

Brightly Gleaming Wrapped Especially for You Pizza style Gift Box

Hello Everyone,

Hope you are all well. Today I'm taking part in the Stamp n Hop December Blog Hop and our theme is Christmas! I decided to use some of our re cut and scored pizza boxes to create some super speedy boxes to add some sweet treats to ready to hand out to neighbours. This enabled me to make a lot of boxes in a short space of time!! Win, Win!!

Measurements

Brightly Gleaming DSP

1pc - 3 3/8" x 3 3/8"

4pc - 3 3/8" x 7/8"

Whisper White Cardstock

Scraps for the stamping and sentiment

Build up your pizza box base from the pre cut and scored bases you get.

Add the DSP the lid and all four sides. There is a small thumb notch to the front, which I used a craft knife to cut out once I glued the DSP strip down.

Stamp the sentiment from Gift Wrapped in real red onto a scrap of whisper white, trim and add to the lower right hand side of the lid

On scraps of whisper white stamp the tree decorations in Real Red and Night of Navy, then cut out using the coordinating punches. Add these towards to left hand side of the lid, gluing the blue one down flat, and the other two on dimensionals.

Sending Well Wishes Your Way Greeting Card

Good Afternoon Everyone,

Happy Friday, I hope you are all well.

As you know, I'm a Stampin Up demonstrator based in the UK and we have such support from various places. There's a Facebook group which is run by our Country Manager - there's support, hints, tips, tutorials from fellow demos and guidance within the group along with a weekly challenge. These challenges are different each week and this week it's a colour challenge, so I thought I'd give it a go!

Measurements

Bumblebee Cardstock

1pc - 11" x 4 1/8", scored at 5 7/8"

Whisper White Cardstock

1pc - 3 7/8" x 4 7/8"

1pc - 1 5/8" x 4 7/8"

1pc - scrap for the flower

In Colours DSP Stack

Misty Moonlight

1pc - 3 7/8" x 4 7/8"

1pc - 5/8" x 3 7/8"

Take the Bumble Bee Cardstock and fold along the score line. Hold the card so that the shorter piece is at the front.

Add the larger piece of DSP to the card front. Then open the card and add the whisper white to the inside, making sure it sits behind the front flap. Place the thin strip of DSP to the right of the whisper white, so it sits visible when the card is closed.

On a scrap stamp the floral image from So Much Love and colour using Stampin Blends, then fussy cut out. Add this to the bottom left hand side of the card front using dimensionals.

Take the remaining piece of whisper white and stamp the sentiment from Dandelion Wishes in Old Olive ink. Layer this onto the cherry cobbler cardstock and position in the top right, diagonally opposite the flower.

scraps for the leaves

Take the Purple Posy Cardstock a fold along the score line to create your card base and add the whisper white panel to the inside.

Bring out your Cut & Emboss machine and cut the fancy wave detail from the bottom of the Rococo cardstock and add this panel to the card front.

Cut out two circles one in Seaside Spray and Whisper White using the stitched shapes dies. then cut some of the leaves from Vellum and DSP.

Stamp a bird and colour with the blends, then cut out using the coordinating die.

Add liquid glue to the back of the Seaside Spray circle and arrange the leaves on it. once happy with the positioning add to the card front.

Stamp the Hello sentiment onto the white circle and add this to the seaside spray circle towards the right so that there's a larger border towards to left than the right.

place the bird in the left side of the circles.
