Welcome to the weekend and to this week’s Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Insta Hop theme with Granny Apple Green as our featured colour.
I was inspired by some home decor I saw and created a bit of a funky background with the pot from the Planted Paradise stamp set. This is a Reversible stamp set which means that one side of the stamp has one image and you flip the stamp over to reveal another image.
I used the Stamparatus (retired) to stamp the black pot a few times. Any stamp positioning tool would work and enables you to get a nice dark image. I flipped the stamp over and inked up in Granny Apple Green ink, then spritzed the stamp before stamping the image. This gave the image a lovely watercoloured look.
I drew some lines with the Light Granny Apple Green Stampin’ Blend using a ruler as a guide. Starting off with the bullet tip I felt it needed some wider stripes so I freehanded the thicker stripes with a brush end of the Blend. This was totally out of character for me as I love straight, neat lines. However, I loved the look of these and will probably be trying this again for some custom backgrounds.
Foliage from the Flowers of Beauty dies provides a simple focal point against the different textures and patterns on the card.
I hope you have enjoyed the inspiration. Many of these products are retiring on the 30th of April and you can shop them in our Last Chance Sale while supplies last.
Purchase a Starter Kit for $169 and choose $235 of product shipped free to you.

I have been mulling the idea of bringing together the Cutest Cows bundle with the beautiful Light & Airy Designer Series Paper and here is a sweet class for April that’s going to make you smile.
In this class you will get to make 4 cards. I provide you with a PDF tutorial which you can craft along with. I’ve designed the cards to make it easy for you to go ahead and get on with stamping and creating. You can follow along with my design or change it up. That’s the fun of getting a kit because you can alter elements as you like.
Your kit comes with all the Cardstock you need to create the cards and I even add all the die cut images in this class. You also get other products which are listed below with plenty of supplies for you to create more cute projects.

Pumpkin Pie – it’s one of those colours that hasn’t had a lot of love from me. Do you find you have some colours like that? The time had to come with our Monochromatic Insta Hop where we featured the beauty of Pumpkin Pie.
A guitar from the Rock Star bundle was perfect with this colour. I stamped it in Stazon ink on Fluid 100 Cardstock and watercoloured it with Pumpkin Pie ink refill and a Water Painter. This allowed me to get different variations of the colour.
The sentiment was stamped on a piece of Cardstock which I had in my ‘spare parts’ pile. Last week I created a background with Pumpkin Pie using one of our masks but I really wasn’t feeling anything creative with it. So I set it aside for another time and this project was it.
The Country Woods Designer Series Paper used in the background is a new release from the upcoming Annual Catalogue. I blended Pumpkin Pie ink over it to coordinate with our theme.
To create the lightning bolts, I blended Pumpkin Pie ink over a piece of the Calypso Coral DSP from the Hello, Irresistible pack. After die cutting these, I heat embossed each one in Clear Embossing Powder 4 times to create an embellishment.
I coordinated the musical theme with embossing using the Merry Melody Embossing Folder and some music notes from the Sweet Songbirds stamp set. Both these products and the Rock Star bundle and coordinating suite are retiring. Make sure you add them to your stash if you love some music themed projects.

Welcome to another Crafty Collaborations Monochromatic Challenge. This week we are focussing on Tahitian Tide. Just a fwe days ago I received some new products from the Online Exclusives collection which will be released on 5th March. So I chose to use some of these on today’s card.
I generally like to pair a neutral colour with the featured colour when I’m creating for these monochromatic challenges. Black just seemed a little harsh with the idea I had in mind and I ended up choosing Night of Navy as what I call a ‘support’ colour!
I started off with the 3 squares and stamped the Drizzling Droplets background stamp on the smaller squares. This is one of the new products you can order on the 5th. Against the central embossed square, the small dots brought a touch of softness to the layout.
For my featured image I used the Magnolia Mood bundle. I didn’t quite like the floral image that was attached to the stamped leaves so I just trimmed that out and added a different die cut on top. The Tahitian Tide flower is an outline and I glued this onto Night of Navy Cardstock and fussy cut around it to give me a two-tone flower.
A product list is at the bottom of this post to help you place your order. I will update it on the 5th of March to include the new products.
Thank you for stopping by and I hope you have a wonderful weekend.
