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"

I held my new catalog party on Saturday showcasing the Spring & Sale-a-Bration products. It was so fun to have my customers/friends stop in to see everything & visit.

Here are a few photos of my displays of new 2023 Spring Catalog products:

Above you can see the Delicate Desert and Enjoy the Journey designer paper. Below is the Country Floral Lane designer paper; wonderful for Valentines.

Save

Above you can also see the Country Gingham 6" designer paper and lots of swaps featuring this Country Floral Lane suite.

I always join a bunch of swaps so I can get a bunch of samples so I can create display boards like this one:

I wish the pictures were a little clearer for you but there was some reflection on the clear envelopes covering each card.

Save

Below are photos of quite a few of our new Designer Paper; the titles of each are shown in the photo.

Below are swap cards featuring the Regency Park Suite seen here; one of my favorites!

Keep in mind I didn't make all of these cards. I did make that 'many' but received different cards back for the swaps I sent in. I love swapping!!

Sentimental Park with Country Gingham DSP card swap

January 9, 2023
I always join a bunch of online swaps with each new catalog. It's so much easier to make a bunch of one card than it is to make one of several different cards for my display boards.

Here's one I made with the Sentimental Park bundle seen here.

Save

I chose to use the Country Gingham 6 X 6" designer paper pack; it has multiple gingham patterns in just a few colors. I added White & Blushing Bride to it.

Notice that pretty white die-cut for the greeting; it has attached floral design on opposing corners for some pretty detail. There are two sizes of this type of die in this bundle and one without the side details. This one fits inside the largest one; the floral detail has slits on the inside to allow the smooth die-cut to fit right in!

Save

The Blushing Bride oval is from the Framed Florets dies. The pretty texture on the White banner is done with the Cane Weave 3D embossing folder seen here; also new in the Spring catalog.

Save

My measurements are simple:
- Card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
- DSP 2" X 4"
- White banner strip 1 1/4" X 5"
Notice the alternate print I used on some of the swaps below; I love having a few choices in similar patterns.

Save

I'll share some photos of my new catalog party from Saturday later this week. Stop back in!
