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!

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"

I did add the Multipurpose Liquid glue on this list even though it's not retiring. However the price is going up to $5.50 in the next catalog. It's on low inventory right now too!

I will not have a FB Live today; I have laryngitis so I cannot talk.

It's been a wake up call to see just how much I talk! ;)

Also note that some prices are going up. The cost of business is increasing world wide; as I'm sure you've noticed when shopping. Here's a chart showing some of the price changes in the upcoming new Annual Catalog.

Now on to the projects!

I shared these neat cards on last week's Live video. I love it when you can show off both sides of our pretty designer papers!

Save

This card uses almost half of a 12 X 12" piece of designer paper; but it truly makes the most of your printed paper.

I chose the Pretty Prints DSP from the Annual catalog. It includes 4 colors; Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay, Evening Evergreen and Blackberry Bliss. It's on the retiring list now and discounted to $8.40 instead of $12. See it here.

It's quite an easy fold to make. You make a few score lines and then trim off the top at an angle; then add that trimmed piece to the bottom edge. Watch the video to see how it's done.

Measurements:
- Card base 4 ¼” X 5 ½”
- DSP 5 ¼” X 12” score at 2”, 4”, 8” & 10”. Mark at 2 3/8” and cut off to 4” mark
- White front square 2 1/4", inside 3 3/4" X 5"
- Front square layer 2 1/2"
Save

I chose the Kind & Sincere stamp set for my greetings. I think the mixed font and wide range of phrases is fabulous. Unfortunately it is on the retiring list. It's now $15.60 instead of $26.
