Simon Says Stamp Olive Green is a wonderful deep green with just a hint of yellow. Reminds me of the program M*A*S*H with all their Army fatigues! But most of all Olive is a great color for making masculine cards (which are the most difficult.) I found some fun products to go with it and some that compliment nicely.
I’ve shot a video of the walkthrough with a little explanation of my card. Enjoy!
To start my card off, I used a sheet from the Breeze My Mind’s Eye Paper Pad. Then I started building up layers using a strip of Olive card stock stamped with YOU using Olive ink.
I incorporated the Indi Chic Grow washi tape and strips of pattern paper. And finally, I used the Indi Chic Pennant Garland to top off the card design.
This is going to one of the men in my family for sure!

Such lovely dimension, Shari … love that fluttering banner! Aniita :)
We call the color OD green and I really like it. I already follow by email.
I love this color combo. I have some friends that this would be right up their alley.
Love all the elements you used. Great card.
This is a really nice colour collection!
Olive is not the prettiest of the greens but it sure has it’s place. So many things I color and match up require a bit of olive. Wonderful collection of “stuff” today. You always make reviewing the colors so much fun. I can’t wait until you get to fuschia!
Olive is a great color! I love it for masculine cards especially. Thanks for showing us all those wonderful products.
I’m not a Amanda but I love the colour olive! Lovely card. I follow the blog by email.
Should read I’m not a man ( stupid auto correct – especially as I am Amanda!) LOL
Whole a lot of goodness in this card. Thanks for sharing.
You did a great job of matching products to this color! Love the card.
I’ve been waiting for this one!!!
Olive, khaki, sage, any & all greens, LOVE THEM ALL!!!
LOVE your coordinates and card today Shari – the colours & layers are DELIGHTFUL!!!

Great card, great colours and fun elements.
WOW stunning card..love all the layers!
I’m extremely fond of green and these warm shades are just my cup of tea and the card with all those fabulous layers and details is just gorgeous!

I’m always drawn to muddy colours, so I love this set!!
I love the little flag garland. Very pretty!
Even though we live in olive country (Crete, Greece) and have several olive trees in our garden, I would not normally pick olive green for my cards. Yet your mix of products and your card is so pretty that I may have to reconsider…
I’ve always loved the color “Olive”. It’s one of those colors that we don’t think of as a neutral, but can be used like one.
Great colours for a masculine card
Love this card!
Fabulous products to match olive!
What a beautiful card – love the papers
I love the olive!!! Green is my favorite color and everything coordinates so beautifully. I really like the patterns that you chose.

I love this feature! Great idea to show some items that coordinate (vs. not just match) with the key color. Shari’s cards are always beautiful…it takes courage to collage!
I really like olive green, its such a great green to go with most other colours. I have to agree it’s a great masculine colour. Great card love all the stacked banners.
