The Pals Paper Arts gals have a case of the “Monochromatic Blues” with this week’s PPA challenge. I decided on Night of Navy paired with the Bella Toile background stamp. Oo la la! The Square Lattice Embossing Folder, available May 1st, adds so much texture! And you know how much I LOVE texture!!! This card is quick and easy, yet packs a visual punch. Won’t you sing the “PPA Blues” with us!
The Stampin’ Schach Tips:
- Stamp then emboss! Doesn’t this background look wonderful? The Bella Toile stamp was inked with Night of Navy and stamped onto Very Vanilla. This was then zipped through the Big Shot die cutting machine with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder. The result is instant “Wow”!
- Punch then emboss! “Merci” from Chic Boutique was stamped in Night of Navy onto Very Vanilla card stock and punched out with the Small Oval Punch. A quick trip through the Big Shot with the Square Lattice Embossing Folder results in a coordinated sentiment. However, be very careful if you emboss then punch…sometimes the punch will tear the embossed paper. Don’t ask me how I know!
- Kissing and Smooching! After first “kissing” the edges of the rose petals with Very Vanilla ink, give them a big “Smooch” with Vanilla Shimmer Smooch Spritz. Your roses will love you for it!
With the release of the Summer Mini this Saturday, I would like to share with you my top four “must haves”, two of which I have used on this card:
- Elements of Style Stamp Set—classy and elegant
- Very Vanilla Smooch Spritz—adds instant shine and shimmer
- Presto Patterns Specialty Designer Series Paper—vintage style magically revealed
- Square Lattice Embossing Folder—deeply embossed texture thats modern yet classy
Beginning May 1st, these items can be ordered right here on The Stampin’ Schach!

Ann, just wanted to let you know I used this card for a workshop today (I love this card so much)and as of total orders for this week, sold 3 Bigshots! I substituted with “Elements of Style” and a different flower and the girls loved it! Thanks for your inspiration!
So totally beautiful!!!
Ooooh, I agree. The impact of this card is great. I love that french feeling and that stamp is incredible. At a fist glance I thought it was patterned paper. The flower is stunning too.
Absolutely gorgeous Anne, Great job!
Gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous Ann! Where can I find a technique on how to make that flower….stunning! {SMILES}
Ann, drop dead gorgeous. I love the idea of stamping and then running the cardstock through the lattice folder. Your flower is fabulous!

Beautiful card, I always love monochromatic cards. Are there instructions somewhere to make the rose, it’s gorgeous.
The full card is just as beautiful as the sneak peak. Can’t get over the ‘blue’ rose. Stunning!
OOOOOHHHHH LAAAA LAAAA! Gorgeous and elegant. XO
What a beautiful card! The rose is very eyecatching and the texture from the embossing folder just adds so much. Night of Navy has been one of my least favorite SU colors but it looks great with vanilla and kraft on your card. You may have inspired me to bring it out and dust it off!
I absolutely love this card,,, it seems I like many of your cards =)
I love the shmootz spray on the flower… looks like dew, gorgeous!
I just adore this card……….I am going to put some of those items on my list
Tres Magnifique, ma cherie!
