Hello and thank you for stopping by during this month's blog hop! Check out this fun set of birthday cards I made featuring three of the returning colors - can you guess which ones they are? I love the monochromatic look of these cards and the Nature's Prints stamp set has such beautiful images!! Please read on to find out more about this month's project....
For the Stampers Dozen Blog Hop this month, we are featuring the returning colors. I don't know about you, but I am super excited for the return of these three: Blueberry Bushel, Misty Moonlight and Pretty Peacock! Did you guess correctly? These shades of blue/green are just so rich and beautiful and perfect for this monochromatic card layout when paired with basic white!!
I used the Nature's Prints stamp set along with the coordinating Natural Prints dies and Fern 3D embossing folder. It's so easy to die cut images and add texture using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine. To place an online order or check out the new products available from the 2023-2024 Annual catalog, please click on any image above to hop over to my online Stampin' Up! store (don't forget to use Host Code UAJXWBSR* with your online order at checkout through May 30th).
This first card features the beautiful Blueberry Bushel ink and card stock. All three cards have the same basic layout with just a few minor differences. Each has a background panel of white card stock embossed with the Fern 3D folder, and each features a bouquet of various stamped images from the Nature's Prints stamp set along with a sentiment. As you can see, I only added glue to the bottoms of the "stems" so that these images pop off the card and look more 3D. I stamped each of the cards the same way on the inside, too, to add some interest. I further embellished this card with some basic Rhinestone basic jewels because I love the added bling!
This next card features Misty Moonlight ink and card stock. This is such a soft blue, isn't it? Instead of adding any embellishments, I used a clear Wink of Stella glue pen to add some shimmer to the stamped images (sadly it is very difficult to photograph that shimmer). The card stock leaves look a little different on this card because I had cut out the wreath die cut, but then cut it up into pieces to tuck into the bouquet.
And here is my third card featuring the Pretty Peacock ink and card stock. For this card I embellished with the Iridescent Pearls basic jewels. This color is so beautiful and rich!
Didn't they turn out great? So which one is your favorite? I am partial to green, so I have to say that the Pretty Peacock card is my favorite. For more returning color inspiration, be sure to follow along on the blog hop using the links below.
Thanks for visiting and happy stamping!!

Thanks, everyone, for the kind comments. This style of cards is outside my comfort zone so I'm happy that they turned out so pretty! I'm so thankful for the Stampers Dozen Blog hop for pushing me outside of my comfort zone!
