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"

3 sets of quick Stack & Cute cards; with video & template!

May 2, 2022

One week ago I shared my Stack & Cut cards in a FB live video. I couldn't stop at one set since they're so quick & easy. I made 3 different sets of cards! Click here to watch the video.

Follow me on FB here; so you can watch my weekly videos.

This first set features the Hues of Happiness designer paper from the upcoming new Annual Catalog by Stampin' Up! It goes live tomorrow and you can all start ordering (collecting) new products!

Save

The card bases are Pool Party and the large layer is Highland Heather. I used a variety of circle dies for the main greeting. The stitched banners are from a new set of dies called Stylish Shapes; it's filled with stitched circles, squares and banners.

Here's the template I used for the 'Stack & Cut' pieces. Choose 4 sheets of DSP and cut two at once. They're layered on a 4" X 5 1/4" piece then added to your main card base. So quick & easy and it uses up that Designer Paper you're hoarding!

Save

The 2nd set of cards features the Tea Boutique designer paper. It's a 6 X 6" stack filled with all of the new In Colors! The greeting is from the Good Feelings stamp set.

The colors include Sweet Sorbet and Starry Sky.

Save

Here are all of them in one photo. If you make a set of these cards please share them here in my FB group by May 8th to get in on Prize Patrol for a free embellishment. I'd love to see YOUR version of these neat cards.

Save

And lastly here is the first set I made with the Heart & Home DSP from the January-June catalog. This paper is filled with soft prints and a variety of whitewashed wood on each sheet. The colors include Pale Papaya, Garden Green White & Smoky Slate. The greetings are from the Blessings of Home bundle; which is carrying over into the new Annual Catalog.

A CUTE Kite Delight card idea; shared in a video with blending & coloring tips

May 1, 2022

Here is another playful card made with the Kite Delight stamp set in the 2022 January-June Stampin' Up! catalog.

Save

I used a Blending Brush and Coastal Cabana ink to create a soft sky background. Then the kite tails were stamped using Black Memento ink and colored in with Blends markers. Each kit was stamped using the coordinating color of card stock – Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana. They are fussy cut since there is not a set of dies to match. I don't mind this at all since they're easy to cut out.

This stamp set is NOT carrying over into the new catalog and will retire at the end of May. See it here:

Save

I used the Pick a Banner punch on the Highland Heather greeting banner. The banner & kits are all popped up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

I also created two other cards during the video. See all three cards below:
