Stampin Friends Blog Hop- Monochromatic March

 

Welcome to the Stampin Friends Blog Hop.  This month and the theme is Birthday Celebration. If you are following along the hop, you should have arrived from Maureen Rauchfuss' blog.  Make sure to read through my blog, comment below and then continue to Jo Blackman's blog.

If you get lost along the way, you can find a list of Blog Hoppers at the end of each blog.

Here are the projects I created for our Monochromatic March theme.   

If you know me, you know I love pink, so of course I would pick pink for my Monochromatic color.

 

I used 2 different pieces of pink cardstock from my stash to create the card base.  I then stamped the flower from Cottage Bouquet stamp set from Fun Stampers Journey (retired) with pink ink.  I then stamped one whole flower on another piece of pick cardstock.

I added some pink satin ribbon to the left side of the card and to add interest I tied some pink bakers twine around sections of the ribbon.

 

I finished the card by stamping the sentiment from the same stamp set and added some pink pearls to the card front.

For my project, I wanted to create a small little box to match the card.  So I pulled out my small milk carton die.

I can't wait to fill this little box and give it to a friend.  I used the same supplies as above, but used grey ink on white cardstock for the flower I placed on the top.  I attached the flower to the box by wrapping some pink bakers twine around the top of the box and tying the flower in.

Here are the card and box together.  

Aren't they cute together?  I hope it brings a smile to my friend who receives it.

Thanks for stopping by.  Please leave me a comment and then check out all the other incredible projects from the other ladies this month.

Simply Create Too Challenge #156 Monochromatic

Hello Crafty Friends,

I hope your new year is off to a good start.  Mine has been great in that I have been crafting and crafting.  I am off work till January 6th, so I have to get all I can get in while I am off.

We have a new challenge at Simple Create Too.  The challenge is a monochromatic project.

Here is the card I created for this challenge:

The card base is created using Chambray Shirt Cardstock from Fun Stampers Journey.

Then I cut squares of paper 1 1/4 x 1 1/4 from the 6 x 6 paper pad from Bo Bunny titled: Winter Getaway collection.  I adhered these to the card in the diagonal pattern.

I then added a light blue bakers twine bow and the sentiment; Bundle Up, to finish the card.

Please come join the challenge at Simply Create Too here.

Happy New Year!
