Aloha and welcome to another edition of the Around the World on Wednesday Blog Hop!
I’m thrilled to be hopping today with twenty talented Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator friends from across the globe. This special blog hop spans twelve time zones, stretching from New Zealand to Hawaii, bringing creativity from every corner of the world right to your screen.
Monochrome Magic
This month’s theme is Monochrome—a beautiful challenge that allows us to focus on the depth and dimension of a single color. And what better color to highlight than Peach Pie? This fresh and vibrant shade is quickly becoming one of my favorites.
Creating a monochrome card is easier than you might think! By layering different textures and tones of the same color, you can achieve a stunning, cohesive look. For my project, I used a combination of:
✅ Patterned paper to add subtle interest
✅ Coordinating ink for stamped details
✅ Ribbon and embellishments for extra texture and shine
✅ A brand-new die! The Fancy Borders Dies add the perfect delicate touch to bring it all together. (#165380)
Here are the dimensions for this card:
-
Thick Basic White: 8 1/2 X 5 1/2, score at 4 1/4
-
2024 – 26 In Color DSP: 5 1/2 x 4 1/4
-
Basic White: 5 1/2 x 2 1/2, then cut border using Fancy Borders Die ( #165380)
I love how this card turned out—simple yet elegant, with just the right amount of detail to make it special. Monochrome designs are such a great way to highlight the beauty of a single color while letting the intricate details shine.
What’s your favorite color to craft with? Let me know in the comments! And don’t forget to continue the hop to see how my fellow demonstrators have interpreted this fun monochrome challenge.
Mahalo for stopping by, and happy stamping!
