Today’s More Color Mondays color challenge is also a sketch challenge! It’s a Twofer as we say in my family – two for the price of one LOL!

This is a great way to use scraps as well! Lots of great ideas in this card!

Measurement:
BASE: Lemon Lime Twist CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 1/4″,1/2″and/or
3/4″ strips that are at least 3″ in length
Basic White CS: 3″ square, 3 1/2″ x 4″ scrap for
die cut
Pool Party CS: 3 1/4″ square, 1/4″,1/2″and/or
3/4″ strips that are at least 3″ in length
Pretty Peacock CS: 1/4″,1/2″and/or
3/4″ strips that are at least 3″ in length

Take the Basic White CS square and add adhesive over the entire surface – I used Stampin’ Seal around the edges and a strip or two in the middle. Lay cardstock strips over the Basic White cardstock to cover the entire square and the trim the overhang.

Add Stampin’ Dimensionals on the Basic White layer backside. Adhere to the Pool Party square.

Adhere the colored cardstock strip focal point onto the top center of the card. Adhere a white leave die over the popped up strips, in this case I used the leaf die from the Nature’s Symphony die set.

Stamp the sentiment from the WIld Bunch Product of the Month stamps et in Pretty Peacock ink centered below the strips.
Adhere the Dots embellishments around the sentiment to finish off the card!

With just a few tweeks you can get a different look – I had a die cut that ripped so I used the smaller section to make an additional card using the butterfly stamp and die from the Extraordinary Life Bundle. I stamped them in Pretty Peacock ink and then added Wink of Stella over them for a nice subtle sparkle!

Try your hand at this strip card design today and let me know what you design! Now go and create some artwork of your very own – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’

product of the month – wild bunch card

by nataliegramleystamps | Jun 17, 2026 | card samples, card sketches, embossing folders, In Colors, my favorites, product of the month, stamps ink paper, techniques

Today’s card features the newest Product of the Month incentive – spend $75 before shipping, tax and coupons and this sweet set of whimsical animals and sentiments can be yours for $5!

This card also uses Card Sketch #124! Play along and make a card using this sketch – if you do send me a photo I would love to see your interpretation of the sketch. I love sketches, especially when you need a little inspiration and don’t we all sometimes! Remember a sketch is just a starting point! Here I turned the sketch on it’s side and used it in landscape instead of portrait mode!

Measurements:
BASE: Crisp Cantaloupe CS: 5 1/2″ x 8 1/2″
scored at 4 1/4″, 1/4″ strip
Basic White CS: 4″ x 5 1/4″, scraps for stamping
animals, 1/2″ strip

Stamp each of the animals from the Wild Bunch stamp set in the Basic Black Hybrid Ink Pad on a scrap piece of Basic White CS.

Stamp the Happy Birthday sentiment on a 1/2″ Basic White CS strip and then stamp the checkered pattern on either side of the sentiment in the Basic Black Hybrid ink pad.

Here is a SNEAK PEAK of the recent pre-order for the July Online Exclusives – remember we now offer Online ONLY stamps and bundles and other goodies to keep our offerings fresh and exciting so do not forget to peruse the Online ONLY catalog so you do not miss all the new offerings!

This is a very sweet embossing folder called Swirls of Magic and is my favorite new item from the July pre-order!

It pairs perfectly with these whimsical animals!
I embossed the 4″ x 5 1/4″ Basic White layer.

Adhere the embossed layer to the Crisp Cantaloupe CS base.

Adhere the 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ Crisp Cantaloupe strip across the bottom of the Basic White embossed layer.

Color in the animals with Crisp Cantaloupe, Smoky Slate, Golden Glow, Gray Granite, Crumb Cake, Darling Duckling and Barely Blush Stampin’ Blends markers.

Color the openings in the letters and the blocks with the Crisp Cantaloupe Shimmer Brush for some subtle sparkle on the 1/2″ Basic White sentiment strip.

Adhere the 1/2″ strip above the Crisp Cantaloupe 1/4″ strip across the bottom of the card.

Start on the right-hand side of the card and start adhering the animals above the sentiment strip on the card.

Adhere the animals across the width of the card – popping up one of them I chose the snail to pop up above the Happy Birthday sentiment!

Wrap the Crisp Cantaloupe ribbon around the top of the card front and tie in a knot.

I added two Crisp Cantaloupe 2026-2028 In Color Dots to the card around the sentiment!

I decided I wanted a little more sparkle on the card so I added a little more shimmer brush to the cow’s muzzle and the snails shell! It is hard to see in photos but the shimmer is very fun!

Try this sketch when you have some free crafting time and see what you can create – one stamp at a time!

Happy Stampin’
Natalie

P.S. Reminder: The Swirls of Magic embossing folder will not be available until the July Online Exclusives are released so it will not appear below in the photo clickables because it is not available to the public to order yet!
