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"

Timeless Arrangements with Countryside Inn DSP; all new!

April 28, 2023

I've been super busy prepping for my new catalog launch party tomorrow. If you're in or near Minot, ND please stop in at 1st Lutheran Church from 10-12:30 pm. There's lots to see!!

Save

I always join a few online swaps so I can get great samples for my display boards. I made this pretty card for one of them.

Save

I chose the Timeless Arrangements bundle and added squares of Countryside Inn designer series paper. I've used this layout before and thought it would work well with the dies in the Timeless Arrangements bundle.

Ad you can see on the dies shown below there are 4 different dies that they've added a long piece to; it's perfect to add to the stitched greeting dies for layering. And they're spaced differently so they layer perfectly with each other!

Save

My colors are Balmy Blue, Night of Navy with a splash of Lemon Lime Twist. I'm so glad this happy color is back in our color line!

Save

The new catalog goes live May 2nd; you can order from it then. In the meantime don't forget that you are welcome to pre-order either my In Color bundle (details here) or my new Designer Paper Share (details here).

In Color bundle special offer ends May 1st!

April 27, 2023

Each year with the new in colors release I offer my customers a special In Color Bundle. I include lots of items so you have perfectly coordinating products to create with.

I created these CUTE cards with all 5 new In Colors and the Crafting with You bundle.

Save

I used many products that are included in my special bundle: card stock, ink, ribbons, dots and designer series paper. They're a great example of all you can create when your products coordinate so perfectly.

If you look closely you can see that I stamped a background in each color of ink using the new Cheerful Daisies stamp set.

Save

Look at the die-cutting machine; it even has textured paper going through it! I did that by cutting a slit with my craft knife. The large white angled die-cut is made with the new Countryside Corners dies.

Save

Everyone who pre-orders my In Color bundle will receive a free bonus of a ribbon share & In Color dots too!

Save

In Colors include: Pebbled Path, Moody Mauve, Copper Clay, Boho Blue & Wild Wheat
