Control Freak’s Blog Hop; Favorite Colors theme!

January 19, 2022

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"

Save

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!

Save

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"

Cheerful Daisies card; perfect for Springtime!

May 17, 2023

I'm excited to share this pretty card with you. We made it at my May card clubs. It features the Cheerful Daisy bundle.

Save

I absolutely love the colors! I chose Lemon Lolly, Garden Green, white and the new Azure Afternoon. I think the blue washed layer from the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper shows off the white & yellow daisies perfectly.

Here's how we finished the inside:

Save

I sponged extra yellow on the Lemon Lolly daisy centers before adding the White die-cut over them. Here's a photo of the dies display I made: I did not add the separate individual daisies that fir over the large yellow die-cut below. On my card they're white.

Save

The ribbon wraps all around the card front and ties on the far left. The greeting covers the knot so you see mostly the ends.

Save

Check out that amazing, detailed greenery die-cut! It even comes out of the die easily. Love it!

Save

See the Cheerful Daisies bundle here; I think it's wonderful! Best daisy set we've had for awhile.

Quick cards with just ONE sheet of the Fresh as a Daisy designer paper!

May 16, 2023

The Fresh as a Daisy designer paper seen here is filled with pretty daisy prints and soft washes of colors – many are our newest In Colors and Core colors!

Here are the 4 cards I made from just one sheet!

Save

This one sheet has a bunch of printed, blocked patterns ready to make fast cards with.

Save

One of my favorites is this one; featuring a pretty bouquet of white daisies on our new Bubble Bath pink color.

I added a strip of White card stock below, ribbon, a greeting and a pretty foliage die-cut which are both from the Cheerful Daisies bundle.

Save
I LOVE this one! Again, white daisies on a washed background. I paired this piece over a strip of Early Espresso cardstock on a Lemon Lolly card base. I heat embossed the greeting in White on the die-cut in the Cheerful Daisies bundle. White twine finished it off!

Save
What a gorgeous scenic background this is! I dd nothing to it but stamp the stems & leaves and added the die-cut daisies, greeting and gems. The colors are Copper Clay with Crushed Curry.

Save

Lastly is this pretty triple-panel card in Azure Afternoon with Copper Clay. I cut the daisy panel into three pieces measuring 1 5/8" X 4" tall.

Again I heat embossed the greeting in White embossing powder onto a piece of Copper Clay card stock. I added a die-cut daisy to the side.

Save

I'm featuring this pretty paper in one of my May card kits to go. I have a limited supply of them so grab yours while you can. See it here.

Clever & Amazing interactive triple-tier cake card with video tutorial!

May 15, 2023

This card might look like an ordinary card with a layered cake on front but it's not!
Save

Each layer opens up to reveal more inside! Click on the very short video below to see it in action!

The Bright & Beautiful designer paper is new in Stampin' Up!'s annual catalog. It's filled with fun and colorful patterns in many of our new core colors. Love this paper!

Save

If you've followed me for awhile you know I like to create interesting fun fold cards. I saw something like this card online and knew my stampers would like to see it.

I cut strips or pieces of the Bright & Beautiful designer paper into sizes that would make a nicely layered cake. Each piece is folded in half. Once you open them there's an inside message on each layer. So cool!

And the best thing is that the middle star die-cut hold the lower flap closed which then holds each layer closed.

I have enjoyed playing with the Beautiful Balloons bundle this month. You cannot go wrong with balloons; they're great for birthday's, graduations, weddings or any celebratory event.
