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.  

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!  

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"

  Stampin' Up! hit a home run with this paper!  It's filled with a beautiful variety of florals and ombre backgrounds.

• Nature’s Prints in our new Tahitian Tide in color

  May 9, 2022

  ---

  I thought our new Tahitian Tide in color would pair well with Night of Navy and created this pretty card.  

  Save

  I stamped the large leaf image on the Tahitian Tide layer for a background and used that same image again on the mail White layer and just a bit on the greeting too. 

  I used it for many purposes in April – for my Flowerbug's Team make & takes, an online swap and for last week's FB Live video too.

  You can see the measurements in the photo below:
