Weekly Monochromatic Challenge – Cajun Craze

It’s time again for our Monochromatic Challenge, and this week we are featuring Cajun Craze! This warm and earthy color is perfect for fall and really makes a statement on handmade cards. For this project, I used the Autumn Trees stamp set along with the coordinating Designer Series Paper (DSP) to create a cozy autumn card.

Basic Steps to Create This Card:

Card Base
- Cut your Cajun Craze cardstock to 8 ½" x 5 ½".
- Score at 4 ¼" and fold in half.
Background Layer
- Cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller (5 ¼" x 4").
- Layer on top with a piece of the Cajun Craze DSP cut just a bit smaller (5" x 3 ¾").
DSP Angles
- For a fun detail, cut your DSP diagonally into four sections and adhere to the white layer to create the angled look.
Centerpiece
- Die-cut a stitched circle in white.
- Stamp the tree and color it in Cajun Craze tones.
- Add the deer image in front for a woodland feel.
Sentiment
- Stamp the greeting “There are not enough words to say how thankful I am” on a strip of white cardstock.
- Layer it across the circle with dimensionals.
Finishing Touches
- Add a few embellishments (like enamel dots) for extra detail.
- Adhere the finished layers onto your Cajun Craze card base.
