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"

Beauty of the Earth in Fall colors

September 1, 2021
Jacki made this gorgeous fall card for our Team Swap in August. She featured the Beauty of the Earth designer series paper, Banner Year stamp set & the stunning Be Dazzling specialty paper from the Sale-a-Bration catalog.

Save

She created a window for the cute pumpkin using Layering Circle dies. It's popped up on Dimensionals for added effect.

I love how she added two thin banners of the Be Dazzling paper under her greeting. This paper is absolutely amazing. There is no glitter released and it has so much glitz & shine a little goes a long way!

*Tip: this Be Dazzling paper is expected to run out before Sale-a-Bration is over. So get it now here while you can! It's FREE with any $50 order.

Look at these fabulous swap cards!

August 31, 2021

We're continuing the Sale-a-Bration card swap theme. My Flowerbug gals are so talented!

This first card is made by Karen and she used a fun 'Floating' technique with the Penguin Playmates designer paper. You cut strips of paper and adhere them to a window sheet. Then you pop the whole thing up. The strips look like their floating!

This designer paper is one of our Sale-a-Bration choices; it's free with any $50 order through September 30th. See it here.

Save

And here's another cute card made by Candace with the Penguin Playmates DSP and the Penguin Place stamp set. It's a corner latch fold! These cute penguins are easy to make with this punch bundle. See it here.

Save

Did you notice that even though these cards feature penguins they are not holiday cards? Love the versatility of both the Sale-a-Bration designer paper and this stamp & punch bundle!

Next is Lori's card featuring the Textures & Frames stamp set & Hand-Penned designer paper. What a fun background she stamped on the upper panel! She used the colors in the DSP – Daffodil Delight, Soft Succulent & Highland Heather.

3 great ideas with the Peaceful Prints Designer Paper

August 30, 2021
Have you seen the Peaceful Prints designer paper? It's in our Sale-a-Bration catalog and is free with any $50 order through September. Click here to see it.

This photo does not do it justice! The colors are rich & vibrant – Black, Cherry Cobbler, Real Red, Garden Green & Sahara Sand.

Save

Our August Team swap featured all Sale-a-Bration products. I sure love sharing what my Flowerbug's made! These three cards all feature this fabulous designer paper.

Candy made this first card with the Peaceful Deer bundle. It coordinates with this free designer paper too!

Save

She did stamp the image in the set using Red ink and punched it out. Then she added the Soft Suede antlers and a Red rhinestone.

Lots of details on this card:
- Stitched Whimsy dies
- Stitched Rectangle dies
- Merry Melody 3D embossing folder
- Colors are Real Red, Crumb Cake & Garden Green with White
Marilyn made this next card with one of my latest fun folds shared on FB Live. It's called a Faux Pocket card. You can see the video for this fold here.

Save

She used the Layering Circle dies and the Stitched Rectangle dies for her main pieces. The deer on the circle is cut from the actual designer paper. The greeting is from the Time of Giving stamp set and is heat embossed with White embossing powder on Black CS.

This card fold might look complicated but it sure isn't! Again, click here to see the video.

Next is Annette's card featuring Garden Green, Black & White

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Cabin stamp set. It's on an Everyday Label punch. She punched a second piece in Black and cut it in half vertically to layer on the White one. Simple & beautiful!
