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"

Sweet Citrus; in a Lime version too!

March 10, 2023

The Sweet Citrus bundle can make any citrus fruit you'd like. I've even seen people make coconuts!

I've shared three other cards featuring oranges, grapefruit and lemons but today I'm sharing my 'Lime' version.

Save

I used the Sweet Citrus bundle seen here and these colors: Starry Sky, Parakeet Party and Granny Apple Green. I cased it from a card made by Maheswari Rajaguru. I think these colors are stunning together.

That pretty texture on the card front is made with the new Basic Embossing Folders 3D seen here. They're in a 3 pack and in our Online Exclusives product line seen here.

Did you know you can use our Hybrid embossing folders to texture and die-cut all at once? You can use the dies and folder separately as well but together it's faster and saves a step.*Watch in the video below to see how it's done.

Save

I also show how to stamp the fruit perfectly using the Stamparatus. Perfect every time!

Here's a photo of the inside:

Below is a photo of all 4 cards I shared in my recent video featuring the Sweet Citrus bundle. Oranges, limes, grapefruit and lemons! This bundle is a true gem!
