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"

Glimmer Paper meets the Slim Card dies for a big WOW!

June 10, 2022
I hope you're not tired of the Slim line cards I've been sharing this week. I've been having a lot of fun making them with the Slim Card dies and the Slim Saying stamp set.

I shared these striking cards on FB Live Tuesday:

Save

I wanted to use the new 2022-24 In Color glimmer paper, I knew it would show off it's ombre' effect nicely with the Slim Card dies. I chose to use the 2 in colors of Parakeet Party with Starry Sky.

The Slim Sayings bundle is retiring this month and available while supplies last. BUT the Slim Card dies are on sale now at 50% off! See them here. It's a better deal to get the Slim Card dies separately from the Slim Sayings stamp set even though they are available in a bundle.

Save

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- White layer for the die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
I had to cut the colored glimmer paper twice since it's in 6 X 6" size and the die is about 8 1/2" long. I also used the Picture This dies for the greeting label and the Starlit punch for the glimmer stars; also punched from the In Color Glimmer paper.

I saved the outside pieces from the chevron glimmer paper and made this card:

I just couldn't throw it away and decided it could be used for a second card. I adhered the two colored pieces to a piece of White card stock and trimmed off the excess before adding it to a card base of Orchid Oasis.

As you can see I changed the cards up just a bit. I swapped the yellow kits and used two different greetings too.

Slim Sayings bundle is so versatile!

June 8, 2022
Here are a few more samples featuring the Slimline Sayings bundle that is retiring this month. See yesterday's cards here.

This first card features the Hues of Happiness designer paper.

Save

The pretty ombre design in the Hues of Happiness DSP is beautiful with the beautiful die-cut design. I used the Tailor Made Tags for my greeting layers and stamped the 'one' on a piece of So Saffron to make it pop.

Here's the Slim Sayings stamp set; I love this greeting set so much. The variety of fonts and occasions are so versatile.

Save

The card on the right below is simply three colors of card stock – Navy, Soft Succulent and Just Jade. I cut out one in each color to be able to make 3 cards! Just mix & match to fill in the center with the chevron pieces.

Measurements:
- Card base 8 1/2" X 7 1/4" scored at 3 5/8"
- die-cut 3 1/2" X 8 1/2"
- DSP 8 3/8" X 3 3/8"

Here are some wonderful samples from Stampin' Up! with this unique bundle. See it here; but don't forget that the dies are sold separately at 50% off right now.
