Monochromatic Cards with the Friendly Hello Stamp Set and Patterned Paper

Monochromatic cards are often very simple, but these monochromatic handmade cards step things up a bit. I love the beautiful monochromatic papers in the Friendly Hello bundle. There are also colored patterns, but the black, white, and color of these papers is absolutely gorgeous!

The Friendly Hello bundle is so pretty and easy to use. Plus, you can get it free with a $100 order through the end of February 2022. (That's coming up soon though, so don't miss out!)

I shared so many different tips and techniques for creating these cards during my weekly YouTube live, including heat embossing and paper piecing. If you missed the live, you'll want to go back and watch the replay to see exactly how to make these cards.

You'll find all of the dimensions and supply lists for these cards below.

Ok, on y go! Let's get stamping.

Paper Piecing Technique on a Birthday Card

This first card uses paper piecing to color the flowers on this beautiful birthday card. I stamped the flower images on the speckled Fresh Freesia paper with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then I used my paper snips to cut them out and add them to my card front. I also stamped the flowers on Basic White cardstock and cut out the centers because I wanted them to pop.

Basic Black: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Basic Black: 3 1/8" x 4 3/8"
Friendly Hello DSP (speckled): 5 1/4" x 4"

Using Stampin' Blends Alcohol Markers

For this second card, I started by stamping the leaf branches in Tuxedo Black Memento and white on the Pool Party cardstock. The flowers were also stamped with Memento on Basic White cardstock. Then, I used my Pool Party Stampin' Blends alcohol markers to color the flowers. For the centers, I added some Matte Black Dots.

Friendly Hello in Color

I just couldn't resist sharing another sample card with the Friendly Hello stamp set and patterned paper. This one is multi-colored. I colored the flowers with Pale Papaya, the leaves in Granny Apple Green, and the bird is Pool Party. I added a little Crumb Cake to the center of the flowers and the tree branch. These were so easy to color with the Stampin' Blends alcohol markers!
