3/26/2021

7 Comments

 
Often. we equate monochromatic with black and white, but monochromatic doesn't have to be drab! I have some fabulously bright monochromatic card ideas for you, plus a fun door knob treat holder that's perfect for a candy bar. This treat holder would be perfect for Easter, or a guest room door, or perhaps to welcome your colleagues back to the office. And, I'm using lots of retiring Stampin' Up! stamps and dies. There are some amazing products that are going to be discontinued soon. 

I'm also hopping with the Stampin' Friends today. It's Monochromatic March and all of the project ideas are monochromatic. When you're done checking out my card ideas and gift idea, I hope you'll click through the rest of the Stampin' Friends blog hop and see what everyone else has made as well. So, on y go! Let's get stamping. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

The Stampin' Friends are celebrating the start of 2021 with a Birthday Bash! For today's blog hop, we are sharing birthday card ideas and projects. My projects use the new Sweet Strawberry bundle and are the second installment in my Craft Box Challenge Series. Today, I used the supplies in my box to do 3 easy watercolor techniques. I went to an awesome stamping retreat this weekend (read more about that below too!) and was reminded how much I love watercolor techniques! I had to try to do a couple with the limited supplies in my craft box. After you read about my projects, be sure to check out all of the other awesome projects by these great designers. So, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Holiday card making ideas using the Christmas Gleaming stamp set from Stampin' Up!
Woo Hoo! It's Stampin' Friends Blog Hop Day! I'm really excited to be hopping with my Stampin' Friends again. Today, I went a little crazy with my projects. I have a really fun Gift Card Box with a special fold out photo card. But that's not all! I also have 2 additional card ideas! All of these projects use the Christmas Gleaming stamp set from Stampin' Up!

Be sure to scroll all the way to the bottom of this post to see the list of my amazing Stampin' Friends and go check out all of their projects. Then, if you need some stamps, papers, or other supplies and you live in the US, come on back here and click the links at the very end of this post that will take you to the shoppable supply lists.

​Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Gift Card Holder Tin

This adorable tin is the perfect size to fit a gift card. They are available in the 2020 August-December Mini Catalog and come in packs of 4. Sometimes, giving a gift card can feel a little impersonal, but a festive box like this one can make it much more exciting! 

Instructions for the Gift Card Tin

The top of this tin is made with the Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper. It is 2 1/2" x 3 7/8". I laid the tin upside down on the piece of patterned paper and traced the corners. Then, using paper snips, I cut the curved corners. I attached the paper to the top of the tin with Stampin' Seal +. The Stampin' Seal + is a really strong adhesive and works well for a project like this one. To make the edges look a little neater, I used metalized tape that I bought online and taped around the edges. You can see exactly how I did in the video. ​Next, I put Stampin' Seal + on the back of a piece of Metallic Edge Ribbon and adhered it around the outside edge of the tin. This just gives it a little more of a festive appearance.
Decorated tin that is perfectly sized to be a gift card holder. Perfect for Christmas, Hanukkah, or other holidays!

I stamped the holly and berries 3 times on a scrap piece of Whisper White cardstock with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. I colored the images in with Poppy Parade and Old Olive Stampin' Blends alcohol markers. I carefully fussy cut the images living a thin edge of white around the outside edges. I also stamped the sentiment with Real Red ink on a scrap of Whisper White cardstock and cut it out. Then, I covered the images in Versamark ink and dipped them in clear embossing powder. I heat emboss the front of each image 3 times in clear embossing powder giving it a really thick and shiny look.
​

Fold-Out Photo Card

While you could pop a gift card inside the tin and be done, I created a fun fold-out photo card to stick inside my tin. While my kids aren't little anymore, these images are adorable and this would be a fabulous project to make for grandparents or other loved ones this holiday.

Cutting Dimensions for this fun Fold-out Photo Card

Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper: 3" x 12", scored at 2", 4", 6", 8", 10"
Real Red (card covers): (2) 3 5/8" x 2 1/4"
Interior photos: 2 3/4" x 1 3/4"
Whisper White (interior): 2 3/4" x 1 3/4"
Whisper White (sentiment): 1 1/2" x 2 1/4"
Mossy Meadow: 1 3/4" x 2 1/4"
Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper: 1" x 2 1/4"

Instructions to create a fold-out Card

Fold out photo card idea for a personalized Christmas card. This little card folds into a decorated tin that is also the perfect size to hold a gift card.
I started by cutting the corners on the pieces of Real Red cardstock. Again, I traced the corners of the tin on the back of the Real Red pieces and trimmed them with my Paper Snips. I set it inside the tin to verify that if fit properly and did additional trimming if needed. 


I stamped the piece of 1 1/2" x 2 1/4" Whisper White cardstock with the front sentiment using Real Red ink. I adhered the two small strips of Heartwarming Hugs patterned paper to one of the pieces of Real Red cardstock. I placed them so that when I added the sentiment, it would appear that it was once piece of patterned paper. (Basically, I had a strip of paper that I could make work if I used it as two strips. This way, I didn't have to cut into a larger piece of the patterned paper!) I adhered the Mossy Meadow cardstock over this and then the sentiment on top of that.  
​
I adhered the strip of ribbon to the inside of the other piece of Real Red cardstock. Then, I accordion folded the piece of 3" x 12" patterned paper and adhered the front and back panel to the pieces of Real Red cardstock. I adhered photos to each of the first 5 panels of patterned paper. Then, I stamped another sentiment on the piece of 2 3/4" x 1 3/4" Whisper White cardstock and adhered that to the last panel.

I cut the word Jolly from Pear Pizzazz cardstock using the Playful Alphabet dies. I used Multipurpose adhesive to adhere these to the lower right corner of each photo. 

I closed the photo card and tied the ribbon on the front. This little card is so quick and easy to put together, but the photos really make it something special!

Bonus card Ideas using the Christmas Gleaming Stamp set

I love this set and it pairs fabulously with the Brightly Gleaming patterned paper. If you missed this paper last year, be sure to pick some up now because it is so yummy-liscious gorgeous! The copper foil on the paper is so shiny and pretty. Plus, there is a punch pack to quickly punch out the ornament images.
