A Monochromatic Card

Posted on November 30, 2018 by Susan Horr

Good morning everyone. It is time for another BS & J Productions Stamp Off Challenge. This time our challenge is to make a monochromatic card.

This was a little bit hard for me. I think I use Whisper White on 90% of my cards but I think I ended up doing okay.

I used Pool Party. Coastal Cabana and Bermuda Bay on this card. I cut 1/2″ strips of the the cardstock and layered it over a piece of 4″ x 5.25″ piece of cardstock and then adhered that to the Pool Party card base. The stamp set I used is called Bouquet Blooms. This set has matching dies called Gatefold Blossom Framelits and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle. By the way, the dies make a fun Gatefold card. You can see an example of one here. I cut the circle and scalloped circle out using the Layering Circle Dies.

Now let’s go see what Buffy and Jackie made. I am sure their projects are just gorgeous!

Bouquet Blooms is a new stamp set that is in the 2018/2019 Annual Catalog. At first it might not look like much but when you look at the matching Gatefold Blossoms Framelits and put them together you realize this is such a fun set. Not only does it have some cute stamps but the dies allow you to make a fun fold card. By the way, if you purchase them together in a Bundle you can save 10%.

I didn’t use the fun fold part of the dies on this card but I did use some of the other dies. I needed a quick and easy thank you card to send to a friend. The colors I used are Blueberry Bushel and Mango Melody. The Designer Series Paper is called Best Route. The colors in this DSP are all gorgeous together.

Here is a picture from the catalog that shows you the Gatefold Card these dies make.

This is the third card we made at our monthly stamp club meeting in July. It is a fun fold card. The name of the fold is Gatefold. Normally this fold is a little tricky but Stampin’ Up! has come out with a brilliant set of dies that make it easy to do. The dies are called Gatefold Blossoms Framelits Dies. They cut and put a score mark where it is needed so all you need to do is score, fold and decorate it. Another fun thing is this set of dies has a matching stamp set called Bouquet Blooms and you can save 10% by purchasing them in a Bundle!

Here is a picture of the card opened up so you can see how it works:

The leaves and the flowers overlap each other to keep the card closed. It is perfect to put a gift card or cash inside for a birthday, wedding or graduation. It fits into a regular A2 envelope too!

The colors we used to make this card are Sea Foam Green, Balmy Blue, and Tranquil Tide.
