This is a simple card to make, but with the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set you will get stunning results. Stamp, add a little color with Stampin’ Blends, use a simple white card with a strip of designer series paper, and there you are!
I made this card as one of the Make & Take projects (more…)

How to Make Monochromatic Cards Interesting
Monochromatic, or one-color, cards don’t have to be dull or boring. In fact, with some simple touches they can be quite interesting. The first key is to use two or three shades of the same color, to bring in some variety. Then add a few elements to create design interest.
Today’s card has a monochromatic palette made with two shades of purple: the lighter shade is Highland Heather, and the darker is Gorgeous Grape. Now, this card is beautiful simply because I used the Country Floral embossing folder, but it will still be pretty with a different background!

A Painted Glass Birthday
Today I have a simple birthday card featuring the Painted Glass stamp set. I might add that it features the beautiful Love What You Do designer series paper, but only because this rose pattern is my favorite from this package.
I took my color cue from the designer series paper. The card base is Rich Razzleberry and the mat for the paper is Old Olive. To begin, I stamped the circle pattern from Painted Glass on a small piece of Whisper White card stock using Old Olive ink, then over-stamped the birthday greeting with Memento Black ink. Next, I cut out the image with Layering Circles dies, and cut a small scallop border using Rich Razzleberry.

Using Stampin’ Blends with Country Home
I’m so glad the Country Home stamp set will carryover to the new Annual Catalog.
This is a card I made last fall using Stampin’ Blends to color. It’s the milk can image paired with the cotton plants that I used for this card. It has the same tall focal image, but this time I used a horizontal band to balance the card design.
First, lets talk about coloring with Stampin’ Blends. These are dual tipped alcohol markers (one is a thin tip and the other a brush tip).

A Fable Friends Bunny Birthday Card
This sweet bunny from Fable Friends is perfect for Easter projects. Really, he’s just adorable. But he’s not just for Easter. I think this card would be perfect for a birthday.
