SF-2022 March Blog Hop - Monochromatic March!

 

Be sure to hop through all the blogs on the list near the bottom for tons of wonderful inspiration as we Celebrate Monochromatic March!

 ~*~*~*~*~  

This month is all about projects that are monochromatic - perfect, because I have always loved this style.  It's Spring officially and so I decided to go with an Easter theme with my favorite color - YELLOW!

I made the card using the absolutely adorable duckie from the "Easter Friends" set from page 27 of the J-J Mini Catalog.

#157737 Cost in U.S. Market $23.00*

All of the animals in this set are so cute - but Duckie won for my card - 

Colored him with blends and layered him onto Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight.  Used my Daffodil Delight Blend to color the ribbon so it would match.  And of course, had to stamp the inside of the card and envelope- 

Then for the matching little treat basket - filled with matching monochromatic Cadbury mini eggs.

So quick and easy to make.  Take a 4 1/2" x 4 1/2" square of Crushed Curry cardstock and score on one side at 1 1/2" and 3"; turn 90 degrees and score on that side at 1 1/2" and 3" again - forms a tic-tac-toe grid.  Cut in on each side on the two score lines till you hit the vertical scorelines.  Then you will pull the two lose flaps on each side up and adhere to the center side section to form the basket.  I added a handle 1/2" x 5 1/2" and decorated with that cute baby chick.

Quick tip: I now used netting in the bottom on my baskets instead of shred.  It works great - light and fluffy - you can get in any color - and it's much less messy.

Hope you liked my Monochromatic March projects - I love them - yellow just makes me happy!

Paper Crafting Blog Hop March 2022 - Animals and Punches

 Welcome to our Paper Crafting Blog Hop for March 2022 - featuring talented Independent Stampin’ Up! Demonstrators from all over the globe including the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. We have a wide array of fun projects and design styles to share with you this month - all spotlighting - projects that have animals and use punches!

~*~*~*~*~

For my project I made a very personal card. Well, actually since these are difficult to make when needed - I made several for my stash. I recently found out a friend lost her best little buddy - and needed a card to send her - so I made some dog (and some cat sympathy cards as well) to have ready for future.

Pet sympathy cards - and human sympathy cards are tough. I love that the Pampered Pets set is adorable, but still has this lovely sentiment for the loss of a pet. Although, it could also be used appropriately on a human sympathy card.

#152520 - Price in U.S. markets $21.00*

For my card I also used the Heart and Scallop Heart punches as my punch choice as they were just so fitting with the sentiment -

And to get the little bitty hearts I used the die below - picked out the little hearts and colored them with a Poppy Parade (PP) Blend. I could have just die cut out of PP, but had a scrap of Basic White there so used it.

I finished by cutting the dog, as well as the food bowl, out with the appropriate dies, coloring them with blends and popping them up with Dimensionals.

I hope you got some inspiration from this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and I would love any comments!
