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"

Today I'm sharing two cards; one birthday and one Christmas.

First is Tammi's card made with the Biggest Wish stamp set & the Pattern Party designer paper. If you're wondering where this paper is from it's a Hostess choice. You can get it as part of your free products with an order over $150. That's when hostess benefits kick in.

Save

She added a wrap of the Black glittered ribbon around her 4"X 5 1/4" card front which brings in the Black stamped images to coordinate. Here DSP is 4" X 3".

Next up is Candy's pretty wreath card.

She used the Forever Fern stamp set to create a wreath stamping around a masked off circle in the center. What a great way to use a stamp set that isn't even Christmas!

Save

I believe her colors are Real Red, Garden Green & Blackberry Bliss. The greeting is from the Merriest Moments. The corner accents are from the Detailed Trio punch. I love her itty bitty bow!

Here are two more cards made by my talented Flowerbugs! Both used the Expressions in Ink suite.

Candace made this first one using a nice piece of the beautiful Expressions in Ink specialty DSP. She stamped her greeting and leaves directly onto the DSP using Evening Evergreen ink.

Save

Then she stamped the large flower on a separate piece of White CS and die-cut it out using the Artistic Dies. Lovely!

Tracey made this one using just the Artistically Inked stamp set. She stamped all of her images on the White CS and added that to a layer of textured White CS. She used the Timber 3D embossing folder.
Save
You can see she added a bit of sponging to the embossed layer to really bring out the texture.
