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"

Great silhouette cards with Simply Marbelous DSP with Honeybee Home bundle

February 11, 2022

I saw a group of cards made by France Labrecque and I just had to make some. Look!

Save

I changed them up a bit but kept the same premise of a die-cut circle with these gorgeous Honeybee Blooms dies in silhouette. I added a bit of color on the White layer before texturing them. The card above features the Gingham embossing folder.

Here are the 6 cards I made; one with each color of Designer Paper in the Simply Marbelous DSP pack. This beautiful paper is FREE through February, 2022 with any $50 Stampin' Up! order. See it here.

Save

I cannot decide which color is my favorite but I lean towards the yellow or blue.

Save

The embossing folder on the card above is called Macrame; it's in the 2022 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog or seen here.

Save

For each card I used one of the greetings in the Honeybee Home stamp set which is part of the Honeybee Home bundle seen here. The greeting dies are from the Ornate Frames dies in the Annual catalog seen here.

Save

This incredible Simply Marbelous 6 X 6" DSP is still available; if you want it I'd get it now while they still have a supply. It's always possible it could run out before the end of February.

Save

One neat thing about this pretty designer paper is each sheet has a softer, less distinct pattern and this beautiful swirly pattern. And each color is a combination of light & dark hues so it works with many, many shades of each color!

Save

Which is your favorite?
