    Hey Friends!  This Friday's Monochromatic Insta-Hop card features Orchid Oasis, one of the 2022-2024 In Colors.  This sweet purply blue is gorgeous and lush.  So gorgeous that I used the Gorgeously Made stamps for this project.

      Hey Friends!  Today I am joining the Stamping with Friends Blog Hop. This one is a fun fold challenge making a z-fold card.  I decided to try a double z-fold, something I have never made.  My card features the adorable Hedgehog Hugs DSP paired with the Flight & Airy Designer Series Paper. 



      Card Details:

      • Stamps
        • Hedgehog Hugs
      • Paper

      I used Petal Pink and Flirty Flaming Stampin' Write Markers to color the flower and flower buds. Under the hedgehog I used an aqua painter to add a little Pecan Pie ink under his feet.

        Monochrome Friday - Travelling down the Pebbled Path

        Hey Friends!  This Friday's  monochrome card features my favorite of the 2023-2025 In Colors, Pebbled Path.  I love this earthy grey-brown color, perfect for grunge cards, masculine cards, or whatever your like. The top layer is white cardstock that I stamped with the images from the Wild Ferns stamps in 5 different colors.  I darkened the white edges with Pebbled Path ink and a blender brush.     



        Card Details

        • Stamps
          • Wild Ferns
        • Paper
          • Pebbled Path card base - 11" x 4 1/4", score & fold at 5 1/2"
          • Pebbled Path accent layer - 3 3/8" x 4 5/8"
          • Pebbled Path sentiment strip - 3/8" x 3 1/4"
          • Basic White stamped layer - 3 1/4" x 4 1/2" 
          • Basic White sentiment - 2 3/4" x 3/4" 
          • Softly Stippled Designer Series Paper - 3 5/8" x 4 7/8
        • Ink
          • Pebbled Path, Petal Pink, Mossy Meadow, Pecan Pie, Copper Clay


          Have you ever tried creating your won background paper?  I have always enjoyed creating my own background paper using stamps.  I think it works really well with these papers.  If you haven's tried this technique I encourage you to give it.  Just start stamping until you are happy with the finished product.
