Lily of the Valley in Hydrangea Hue

Lily of the Valley Bundle + Beautifully Celebrated Dies + Phrases & Frames Stamp Set

This weeks monochromatic color is Hydrangea Hue. I have used the 2026-2028 In Color Pearlized Specialty Paper that really shimmers!!

Do you like soft color palettes?

Normally, I prefer more bold and saturated colors, but Hydrangea Hue has really grown on me. I find it peaceful, and for some reason it makes me think of my Grandma Marie 💖

Lily of the Valley Bundle + Beautifully Celebrated Dies + Phrases & Frames Stamp Set

I have created the flowers on the front by detail die cutting them from the same pearlized paper as is used on the background. Flowers on the inside were stamped and colored.

Lovely Arrangmenst in Golden Glow

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

This weeks Monochromatic Insta Hop color is Golden Glow. I've used the Lovely Arrangements Bundle to design my card. The new Golden Glow Shimmer pen was perfect for coloring the highlights of the flowers! Click here to see the original Instagram post.

Lovely Arrangements Bundle + Stylish Shapes Dies

The white outline around a stamped and die cut image has always bugged me on a colored background, but I tried something new to me and it totally solved that issue. Since the flowers are on a Golden Glow background I outlined the stamped flowers with the Light Golden Glow Stampin' Blend (I used the bullet tip). I am so happy with how that softened the edge of the flowers!

The Golden Glow Shimmer pen was so easy to use, and while the photo's don't show off the shimmer it is there when you see it in person. Subtle, but that is exactly how I like it!

Lovely Arrangements Bundle

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Golden Glow: 4 1/4" x 11", scored at 5 1/2"
Front mattel layer - Basic White: 4" x 5 1/4"
Card front layer - Golden Glow: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Focal point base layer - Vellum: 3 1/2" x 3 1/2", die cut using largest circle.
Flowers - Basic White: 4" x 4", stamp & die cut 2 large flowers & 1 small flower
Leaves - Golden Glow: 2" x 6", stamp & die cut 3 pieces
Sentiment label - Golden Glow: scrap, die cut 1 label
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Ribbon - Golden Glow: 15"

Assembly Instructions:

Using background die, die cut upper left and lower right corners to create peek a book effect. Adhere to front matte layer. Wrap ribbon around center of matted card front. Attach ends with tape on the back. Adhere matted card front to front of card base using dimensionals.
Adhere vellum circle to card front. I used mini glue dots strategically placed so that they hide behind my flowers and sentiment.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp 2 large flowers and 1 small flower on Basic White cardstock. Using Light Golden Glow Stampin' Blend, bullet tip, outline the outer edges of the flowers and the petals that appear to overlap lower petals. Usually I would finish coloring the flowers before die cutting, but since I am coloring with the Golden Glow Shimmer Pen, my post it tape removes some of the shimmer..... so I die cut prior to adding my shimmer pen to the flower. Adhere to focal point using dimensionals.
Using Golden Glow ink, stamp 3 sets of leaves and die cut. Adhere to focal point using mini glue dots.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment on label. Adhere to card front using dimenstionals.
Adhere bow using mini glue dots.
Scatter antique pearls on card front.
Using the back ground die, die cut in upper left corner and lower right corner of the message liner, catching just a few of the cut outs.
Using Basic Black ink, stamp sentiment on inner message liner. Adhere to inner card base.

I hope you have been inspired today!

Beautiful Ordinary Life

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

Today I am participating in the Crafty Collaborations Technique Tuesday Blog Hop. This months theme is Paper Piecing. I couldn't find a name for this pattern, so if you know it.... drop me a note in the comments. Be sure to visit each of the live links listed below the tutorial, to see everyones version of Paper Piecing.

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP + Prayers & Promises Stamp Set + Nested Essentials Dies

I chose 5 different prints from the Beautiful Ordinary Life 12" x 12" DSP. I love how well they coordinate!! I kept a 1/16" gap between the 1/2" wide strips for a super clean appearance. I used Stampin' Seal, just to speed the process along, but the multipurpose glue would work just as well. I needed a card to send to a friend that is going through a difficult patch.... and the sentiments from Prayers & Promises were just perfect.

Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP - Inner View

Cutting Instructions:

Card base - Basic White Thick: 5 1/2" x 8 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Card front base- Basic White: 3 3/4" x 5"
Card front DSP strips: 5 different prints, 1/2" wide strips
Sentiment label - Basic White: 2" x 2 1/2", Use second smallest die for label.
Inner message liner - Basic White: 3 7/8" x 5 1/8"
Inner DSP strips: 3 different prints, 1/4" x 5 1/8"
Linen Thread: 30"

Assembly Instructions:

Apply DSP strips in a staggered pattern on card front base, with a 1/16" space between strips. I used Stampin' Seal, but multipurpose glue would work well too. Trim off overhang.
Wrap Linen Thread around lower card front and adhere ends on back. I wrapped three times. Adhere card front layer to front of card base using dimensionals.
Using Lost Lagoon ink, stamp sentiment on label. Adhere to cardfront using dimensionals.
Adhere Linen thread bow using mini glue dot.
Scatter dots on card front.
Adhere inner DSP strips to left side of inner message liner. Adhere liner to inner card base.
