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"

Neat fun fold card with a Blends/embossing technique with Fields in Bloom; video & free project sheet too!

August 13, 2024

I really love the card I'm sharing with you today. In addition to it being a unique fun fold there are so many great details!

Save

I used the Fields in Bloom & Everyday Greetings stamp sets which are both wonderful. But what makes this card so special is the technique and the fun fold.

There is a second folded card under the window; inside the main card base. For the window, I used the Everyday Details dies seen here. They are in the online store now but were in last year's catalog. It creates a perfect window for the hill of flowers scene.

Save

I stamped the flowers and leaves images in Versamark and heat embossed them in White. Then I used Blends markers to color the embossed flowers & leaves. This is such a fun technique and super easy too. I love that I can get these two large images colored in multiple colors this way. Please watch the video here to see how it's done.

Save

It's photopolymer so you can see just where to stamp each image over the other. Watch the video here or below to see how simple it is.

My colors include Lemon Lolly, Shaded Spruce and a bit of Petunia Pop. Here's a shot of the window & fun fold aspect of this card.

I used the new Everyday Greetings set for my greeting images. See it here; it's in the online store.
