Going Monochrome with the Positive Thoughts Stamp Set

Hello Everyone,

If you’ve just started on your cardmaking journey, it may be that you have a limited choice of supplies.

My cards today show that you can still create beautiful card designs with just a couple of inks.

I used the Free Textures & Frames stamp set, with a favourite set of mine from the annual catalogue…. Positive Thoughts.

I decided to use Very Vanilla cardstock for a vintage look. I think it looks great with both the Merry Merlot and Night of Navy variations.

You can see how I made this card in my video tutorial….

I love how these cards turned out…. Do you have a favourite?

Here’s a close up of the original sample!

Monochromatic Cards featuring the Lovely You stamp set

Hello Everyone,

Today’s project demonstrates that beautiful cards can be made with limited supplies.

Monochromatic designs can still have depth and interest by using second generation ink, blending and layering.

The stamped border has been heat embossed to add texture, but this step could be left out!

See how I made this card in my video tutorial….

Here is my sample made with Just Jade.

The sentiment could be punched or cut down with a paper trimmer.

Tell me which is your favourite and if you try this I’d love to see them!

Monochrome Koi

Hello Everyone,

You will all know, I love this stamp set, it was one of the first I purchased when the current annual catalogue went live.

Sadly, this set will be retiring at the end of May, so if you love it too, grab it while you can.

So today, I thought I would try a monochrome look with this set.

Once again, with this detailed stamp, I used the Stamparatus tool to add layers of ink without the worry of misaligning the image.

I started with Smoky Slate, then used a dauber to add Tuxedo Black Memento to the areas I wanted it darker.

The layering was simple on to Basic Black card stock and them Smoky Slate with dimensionals.

I hope you enjoyed this project. The supplies used are listed and linked to the online store below.

Don’t miss out on these last chance items…. When they’re gone, they’re gone!

Simple Monochrome Snowflakes

Hello Again,

I know….. More snowflakes!

I just love them, at least on cards anyway, not so keen on the real thing.

This was so easy to make too.

Lovely Lipstick Ink was used throughout, firstly to stamp the grungy edge. I stamped off once, so the snowflakes would still be visible over the top.

I then just added the sentiment towards the bottom of the card and added this to a white card base.

No extra layers or embellishments today.
