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"

The Gorgeous Leaves of Holly bundle is not just for Christmas!

October 14, 2022

The Leaves of Holly bundle is back! It was unavailable for awhile but it's back in stock now.

I made this pretty card for last month's Flowerbug's Team swap. The theme was Fall or Halloween. I wanted to show that this bundle isn't just for Christmas. What do you think?

Save

I used Bermuda Bay, Blackberry Bliss and a bit of Old Olive here. The greeting is from the Charming Sentiments set seen here.

After I stamped the card panel I felt it was a bit busy so I added a layer of Vellum card stock over it. I love the soft feel that the vellum gives!

Here's a peek at the Leaves of Holly bundle. It's full of pretty images and wonderful dies. The greeting die-cut with the leaves attached is my very favorite; see it on the bottom left below. See it in my store here.

Save

For added texture I added sponging around the edge and on the die-cut leaves.

You can see another group of cards I did on a video I just shared. It features my 5 at a time templates.

Pretty Soft Seedlings card & video; an easy fun fold layout

October 12, 2022
I've sure been enjoying the Soft Seedlings stamp set. The pretty maple leaf has so much texture and depth and the greetings are some of my favorites. I think I've used it more than any set in the Holiday catalog!

Save

We just purchased a red maple tree and planted it in our backyard this weekend. It's red foliage is beautiful!

For this card I chose to stamp the leaves in two colors – Soft Suede & Coastal Cabana. I know they're not correct leaf colors, but it's fun to go outside the box at times.

Save

It's one of my favorite fun folds; so easy to do and it can be jazzed up easily with elements & greetings.

I chose to stamp directly on one of the Leaf Label elements in the Leaf Label & Amber gem combo pack seen here. Unfortunately they are out of stock right now; but it will be available again in November.

Save

The package includes 25 leaves and amber gems too; all for $8. They're so fun to play with; you can add texture, or stamp or sponge color on them.

Save

It might be hard to see the measurements in the photo above. Here they are again:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- Soft Suede 3 ¼” X 11” scored at 5 ½”
- Vanilla 3” X 5 ¼” (2 pieces)
Here's a photo of the inside. I kept is simple since I'll use it as a thank you card.
