Control Freak’s Blog Hop; Favorite Colors theme!

Save

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.  

Crane of Fortune swap 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"

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.  

Artfully Layered Triple Time stamping 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"

  • Beautiful DSP Diamond Gatefold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this pretty fun fold card on last week's Live video. You can see it here or scroll down a bit.  

    Bloom Impressions spring corners Save

    It features the Spring Corners bundle seen here and the Bloom Impressions DSP from our Sale-a-Bration promotion.  This DSP can be seen here. It's free with any $60 purchase!  Unfortunately it's in low inventory status and may be gone soon.  I love it and thought it was one of our best offerings.  

    BLOOM IMPRESSIONS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    The Spring Corners set is one of my new favorites; I love the unusual corner style greetings and other images but the dies are special too!  As you can see in the front panel I die-cut the coneflower image and then replaced the flower centers with Melon Mambo pieces.  So easy and a fun trick! 

    Bloom IMpressions diagonal fold Save

    Here's how it looks when it's opened below. Notice the greeting is in two lines horizontally.  I cut the 'corner' shaped stamp set at the corner point so I could have a normal inside greeting.  When I want to use it as a corner stamp it easily fits back together on my block again.
