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.  

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.  

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"

• A Little Latte Surprise Accordion Fun Fold card with free project sheet!

  March 11, 2024

  ---

  I shared how to make this neat surprise accordion card on last week's Live video.  It's also one of the projects in my 'A Little Latte' card kit to go this month.  

  Save

  It features the A Little Latte designer series paper – it's new in our Online Exclusives and can be seen here. It's part of the Latte Love suite that includes the DSP, a stamp & dies bundle, swirl dots and natural polka dot ribbon.  

  I've shared another version of this accordion card here but today's card uses a piece of designer paper measuring 6" X 4" that pops up when the card is opened.  You can add elements to the popped up area too. 

  Even though it's in my kit or tutorial this month I am offering the free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to download or print it.  Download Latte Love accordion card

  Unfortunately the pre-cut is sold out; but I may offer it again later this spring once the product is available again.  The PDF tutorial is here for $15.  

  Watch the video here or below to see how it's made.  Don't forget to follow me on my YouTube channel here or my Facebook page here.  There are also two more fun fold cards too!
