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"

A special fun-fold card with Caring Leaves with video & free project sheet

October 28, 2024

I shared this unique fun fold card on last week's FB Live video. It's also uploaded to my YouTube channel too.

Save

It was one of the projects we made at my October card clubs this month. The Caring Leaves stamp set is in our current Holiday catalog. See it here. It's a sweet & simple set that is both Distinktive and a 2-step set.

Save

You can see the fun fold below. The card base is scored 3 times. The measurements can be found in the free project sheet here. Click on the following link to print it or to download it. Download Caring Leaves Oct 2024

My colors include Very Vanilla, Copper Clay and Pretty Peacock. After stamping the front panel we added texture with an embossing folder. I offered the Birch 3D or the Leaf Fall 3D folders.

That stunning Pretty Peacock & Copper foil specialty DSP is called Oxidized Copper and can be found here. It's currently in low inventory though.

Save

We blended a bit of Copper Clay ink to the front panel and greeting strip after embossing. A blending brush provides a beautiful & smooth color.

Save

Below you'll find the video; please be sure to follow me on my YouTube Channel here too. I share one every week on Tuesdays at 11 am CT on my Facebook page.

More Christmas card ideas from the Holiday Catalog by my Team

October 25, 2024

This is the third batch of Christmas card swaps I've shared – all made by my talented Flowerug's Team.

First up today is an adorable card made by Candy. She used the Snowy Wonder bundle seen here in the Holiday catalog.

Save

I adore her color combination of Pool Party with Real Red & White. It's one of my favorites for the holidays. She stamped her snowflake background. The snow globe is stamped with the Falling Snow background stamp.

She added tons of layers and textures here! From the Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder to her die-cuts, greetings and snowflake embellishments. So much detail!!

Here's the inside view. This greeting is from the Peaceful Season stamp set.

Next is a sweet & simple card made by Karen.

Save

Her greeting is from the Peaceful Season bundle. She chose to feature the nostalgic Sentimental Christmas Designer Series Paper.

Save

This pretty paper is one of the frequent 'give back's' that Stampin' Up! does each year. They are donating $3 to children's literacy programs around the world for each pack they sell.

~~~

Mary also chose to use this same DSP on her card. Another simple but neat way to make your designer paper the star of the card. Her colors are Pecan Pie, Cherry Cobbler & Vanilla.

Save

There are still more swaps left to share; stay tuned!
