Control Freak’s Blog Hop; Favorite Colors theme!

Save

Welcome to the January Blog Hop from our talented Control Freaks group!  Our theme this month is to use our favorite Stampin' Up! color and make it monochromatic!  

If you just stopped in from Wendy's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is super creative!

I haven't joined a blog hop in awhile and I've missed it!  This color theme was perfect for me as my Flowerbug's Team swapped monochromatic cards last week.  I've been sharing them here all week long.

My first card features a new stamp set called Crane of Fortune.  

Crane of Fortune swap Save

I chose to feature Misty Moonlight with Night of Navy & White.  The Crane of Fortune stamp set is new in our Stampin' Up! January-June catalog.  It's a Distinktive stamp set which means you get multiple hues of color with one inking.  These are my favorite type of stamps.  Look how pretty the images are in one color and so easy too! 

After I stamped the crane I textured it with the Tasteful Textile 3D embossing folder.  

This card is a very simple fun fold.  Here are the measurements:

  • Score your 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base at 2 1/8" & 4 1/4"
  • Misty Moonlight layer 1 7/8" X 5 1/4"
  • White layers are 3 1/4" X 4 1/2"
  • Navy layer is 3 1/2" X 4 3/4"

I stamped some of the dragonflies on the front layer of Misty Moonlight.  I used White Craft ink for a soft, subtle effect.  As you can see I made quite a few of them for our Team swap!

Next is a pretty card in Soft Succulent & White.  

Artfully Layered Triple Time stamping Save

I used the new Artfully Layered stamp set along with the Stitched Rectangle dies.  This technique is called Triple Time Stamping. 

To achieve this layered effect I stamped all three of the White layers at the same time. Then you adhere each piece to a Soft Succulent layer and put the pieces back together; almost like a puzzle.  It's a great way to create quick, eye catching cards. 

Measurements:

  • Soft Succulent – 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" card base, 4 1/8" X 2 7/8" & 3" X 1 5/8"
  • White – 5 1/4" X 4", 4" X 2 5/8" & 2 3/4" X 1 3/8"

  • Festive Cheer Christmas card

    I love this fun fold card! Two step stamping is one of my favorite types of stamps.

    Save

    I chose to use Cherry Cobbler, Peaceful Pine & Golden Glow as my color combination. The Designer Paper is the In Color gingham DSP seen here.

    The Festive Cheer bundle is filled with two-step ornaments and great holiday greetings. And the dies coordinate wonderfully! See this bundle here.

    Save

    It’s a unique fun fold in that the greeting tab on the left holds it closed. There’s a third score line on the right side of the card that will bend as it opens.

    Save

    Here’s what it looks like fully opened. I created a free project sheet for this card. Click here to download it or print it.

  • Poetic Petals in a soft color combination

    If you like soft and subtle colors here’s a pretty color combination using two of our newest In Colors – Barely Blush with Crisp Cantaloupe.

    Save

    The color combination is inspired by the beautiful Bloom Boutique specialty designer series paper seen here. It has bit of gold foil and includes all of our newest In Colors.

    The unique Poetic Petals bundle seen here is what I used for the dies and greetings. Note the textured background and ribbon knot!

    Save

    It’s the Softly Woven 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s temporarily out of stock but should be back in a week or so. To achieve this ribbon knot simply tie one color of ribbon around the other and trim the ends. Add with a mini glue dot.
    The greeting tag is not current; it was among my stash of die-cuts and seemed to fit perfectly here.

    Save

    I shared the left card above yesterday. I used the basic layout but changed the cards for one landscape and one vertical. As you can see the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP includes pretty color combinations of our newest In Colors. Love it!

    Thanks for stopping in today; I hope these pretty cards inspired you.

  • Pretty Poetic Petals cards

    Today I’m sharing a few cards made with the unique Poetic Petals bundle. I was inspired by my friend and team member Karen. She paired it with the Bloom Boutique specialty DSP and I loved her idea. I’ll share her card next week.

    Save

    I used Hydrangea Hue with Peaceful Pine and White. Once I die-cut the flower frame I added it to a Peaceful Pine CS square; then add to the layered card front.

    See the Poetic Petals bundle here. The dies are awesome and just look at the great greetings in the stamp set! It’s a must have for me.

    Save

    You likely notice the ribbon knot; it’s fun to tie one color of ribbon around the other to match the color combo! Try it yourself!

    Save

    And notice the background texture? That is the new Rustic Check 3D embossing folder seen here. It’s out of stock but should be back sometime this week.

    Save

    I’ll share the other card made with the Poetic Petals bundle tomorrow. Stay tuned!
