Monochromatic Madness

Today's Create With Connie & Mary Saturday Blog Hop theme is "Monochromatic Madness" and I allllmost chose Magenta Madness as the color because, well...Madness, LOL. But being a lover of all things blue, I knew I'd have more to work with in the Stampin' Up! blues. Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, and Seaside Spray work so perfectly together that it was an obvious choice for me.

I used the Posted For You cling stamp set and stamped the images in Misty Moonlight ink on Seaside Spray cardstock, then punched them out with the coordinating Rectangular Postage Stamp punch. Parts of the images were colored with a Dark Seaside Spray Stampin' Blend marker, and I inked only part of the sentiment stamp so it would fit on the punched piece.

The punched pieces were adhered with dimensionals to a Tasteful Textiles 3D-embossed Misty Moonlight panel. Some Misty Moonlight DSP and Seaside Spray metallic ribbon completed the card. Oh, wait! I added a Night of Navy die cut heart (Birds & More Dies) with a Misty Moonlight In Color Enamel Dot, too!

That's my share for today. Now click the Next button to jump to Libby Fens at Libby Stamps, or the Back button to see what Mary Brown at Stamper Camper's Corner made!

Freaking Over the New catalog!

This month the Tour de Freaks are freaking out over the new products in the 2020-2021 Stampin' Up! annual catalog. So. Many. AWESOME. Things! We have a good turn out this month - there are eleven of us! You may have landed here from LeeAnn's blog, Flowerbug's Inkspot. If so, welcome! Be sure to follow the links at the bottom of each stop to visit all the Freaks.

Today I'm using several "favorite" products but, truth be told, everything in the catalog is my favorite. I had to narrow them down to just a few for today's card. You don't know how painful that was!

One of my new faves is the Gorgeous Posies stamp set that goes with the Gorgeous Posies Project Kit on page 8. Did you skip right over that one? The stamp set is available by itself, did you notice? There are four sentiments for various occasions, so I chose the get well one.

And can we just talk about the new In Colors for a moment? If you've followed me for any length of time, you know blue is my favorite color, so Misty Moonlight sent me over the moon! It pairs perfectly with Night of Navy and Seaside Spray.

And now for my new favorite 3D embossing folder - Dainty Diamonds! It's part of the Peony Garden Suite, but the texture works for just about anything! And the new Brass Foil Sheets really make the design stand out, too.

Up next is Melissa, The Stamp Doc. I just adore her creativity!

I want to note that Blogger has made some changes that I'm not thrilled with. One of them is when I upload the project photos, the picture quality in the post is awful. If you click on the picture, it will open to a much better quality photo.

Stamp Review Crew - Daisy Lane

Welcome to the Stamp Review Crew's Daisy Lane edition! The "Crew" is made up of a group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators from around the world who pick a stamp set or bundle to highlight on the first and third Mondays of each month, with a bonus hop if there is a fifth Monday. If you landed here from Bronwyn's blog, AddINKtive Designs, welcome! There are ten of us today, so follow the links on each blog for more inspiration.

Tomorrow (or today as the case may be) is my husband's and my 45th anniversary, so I used this stamp set as an inspiration for a card to put next to his coffee in the morning.

It really is true, the very best moments in my life have happened with him. I am so blessed!

 

Blogger has been giving me absolute fits this week (take note, Google, I do NOT like the changes), so I hope I can get this posted.

Up next is Jay at Mitosu Crafts!
