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"

Need Gift card ideas? I have three!

December 9, 2021

Last week I created 3 different gift card options on Facebook Live. You can see it here.

I'm sharing the first one today:

Save

I used the Heartwarming Hugs designer paper seen here) and the Encircled in Warmth & Christmas Season bundle.

It's made from a 5 1/4" X 12" piece of designer paper; score it every 4". Trim off one angle for the pocket and adhere it to a 4 1/4" X 5 1/2" card base.

Save
Inside I added a 4 3/4" X 3 1/2" piece of White CS that I textured with the Star-Crossed embossing folder. I decorated the front & inside with stamped & die-cut images from the Christmas Season bundle seen here.

Depending on how you decorate this card it can be quite easy to make! Below is the video for this one & 2 more gift card options. I'll share details on another tomorrow.

My team member Bobby sent me this amazing card last week. I was seriously blown away! She is super talented!!

Save

She used the Sunflower dies to create a medallion for the main greeting. I never knew it would double as a medallion; I love it so much!

Her background is created by adhering strips of the Ever Eden specialty designer paper (seen here) to a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of Evening Evergreen card stock. This paper will be discontinued in early January; it's available only while supplies last. Notice the pretty gems; these are called Garden gems and can be seen here. I'm surprised they're not sold out; they are gorgeous and a terrific value. They are also while supplies last.

She die-cut two 'sunflowers' from Gold foil & Evening Evergreen card stock and adhered them together, offsetting them a bit. She used the Celebrate Sunflowers stamp set for the main greeting, embossed in Gold embossing powder.

~~~

Why did she send me a Congratulations card? Well I had a wonderful year as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator! I achieved top levels for Leadership, Team Building and Sales! I'm most excited to achieve #29 overall in the United States. Woo hoo!!!
