Monogram Note--PP240

April 12, 2015

It's Sunday and time for another challenge at The Paper Players!  This week our lovely, Joanne has a color challenge for us!  We can't wait to see what you create!  



Coastal Cabana, Strawberry Slush and Pistachio Pudding are 3 of the 5 colors that will be retired by Stampin' Up! by June 2nd.  If you are interested in any of the 2013-2015 Colors, please hurry over to my store site to order them before they are sold out.  I personally adore all 5 of the colors and will miss them when they are gone!  



I absolutely LOVE monograms!  I am so excited about the new stamp set, "Sophisticated  Serifs" in the Occasions catalog.  I think it is fabulous to make note cards for gifts or just to personalize your own notes.  I also used "Daydream Medallions" to make my background paper.  I stamped the different sizes of medallions with all three colors.  I used my Granddaughter Addison's monogram for this card.  The base card is white and I used a Strawberry Slush panel under the stamped piece.  Stampin' Dimensionals raise the monogram for dimension.  There are so many possibilities with this color combo.  A few sequins from Pretty Pink Posh complete my card.  I lined an envelope with the Pistachio Pudding Background Designer Series Paper from the 2013-2015 Collection.

  5. Claire, you took the one stamp set that I have been able to resist and made me want it! Wouldn't this be great wedding or graduation gifts? I love your stamped background, such aunique use of daydream medallions.

  8. I agree with Shannon, I too, am at a loss with the medallion stamp set but you've made it shine with this background. What a sophisticated card for your young ladies! Great use of the colors!

  9. I love monograms too Claire - so classic and I love how you customised this one! The background is fab - I don't own Daydream Medallions because I could never see a use for it (clearly a theme going on here!), yet you've used it to turn some plain Whisper White into something rather special! Thanks for rocking my colour challenge this week!
