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.

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"

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.

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"

The Pretty Pumpkins bundle slipped right by me!

August 3, 2021

I regret not ordering the Pretty Pumpkins set after seeing what my friend Marilyn made with it. Look at these gorgeous images!

Save

She made them for my New Catalog launch last week. I think they're simply beautiful and that greetings font is beautiful!!

Save

She made 3 cards for our display and this is the second one. I'll share the last one soon.

The pretty paper is from the Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. I believe she used the baby wipe technique for the left pumpkin. For the right one she added Wink of Stella to the die-cut pumpkin.

Save

Again; look at the stunning font on this fabulous greeting. I have so many friends I'd give this card to!

Peaceful Cabin card; easier than I thought!!

August 2, 2021

Tomorrow is an exciting day! The Holiday AND the 2nd Sale-a-Bration catalogs go live tomorrow. Tuesday August 3rd you can now order from them.

*If you do not have a demonstrator or either of these catalogs contact me and I'll send you them.

I wanted to have a sample of this pretty bundle at my Holiday Catalog Launch party last week so I had a play with it. I was so surprised on how easy it is to create with!

Save

I stamped everything in Smoky Slate for a soft look. The card front is mostly two pieces. The trees were stamped on the upper part of a 5 1/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White card stock. The cabin and greeting were stamped on the same size piece.

Then I used the cabin edge die to cut the silhouette of it. I adhered the tree layer to the Basic Gray card stock first. Then added the cabin layer with dimensionals. I added a few silver foil trees to the side; these are also dies in this set.

Save

Remember you can order this bundle tomorrow Tuesday, August 3rd here.

Join me for my FB Live BOGO Sale tomorrow at 11 am CT here.
