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!

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"

Hat’s Off; a neat bundle with so many possibilities. Video tutorial too!

June 28, 2021
The Hat's Off bundle was a bit of a sleeper to me when I first saw it. But seeing what other's created with it made me buy it.

Once I played with it, I absolutely loved it! See this bundle here.

I created this card for my June card clubs.

Save

I chose these colors; Gray Granite, Real Red, Crushed Curry and Misty Moonlight. I stamped the background stars with Versamark ink. I love the tone on tone this ink pad provides.

The stars are from the Stitched Stars dies and the texture is from the Checks & Dots embossing folder duo seen here.

Scroll down to watch the video.

Annual HUGE Stamping Sale is Saturday!!

June 25, 2021

Each year my customers and I host a HUGE crafting sale. We sell our excess product to make room for more; or to make money to buy more!

This year we have over 30 people participating and this is what is looks like! Remember most but not all is Stampin' Up! but it is all paper crafting items.

This first picture is just a quarter of our 25 tables. There's lots more inside and out.

It's in Minot, ND this Saturday, June 26th from 9-3 pm at 429 Cedon Drive. People who shop at our sale are so happy with the deals they've gotten. They never want to miss one.

It's absolutely amazing and the selection and prices are crazy! It's actually hard for me to see some of the Stampin' Up! products sell at these ridiculous prices. But then again, what good does it do sitting on a shelf?!

Here are some photos of our set up this year:

If you live near me in Minot, ND I hope you can come. If you don't, well I sincerely apologize for teasing you!

I hope you understand, but I cannot shop for anyone long distance. There just isn't time as we are open for just a few hours & tear down immediately after the sale while everyone is there to help. It takes a lot of people for this sale to run smoothly.

*If you want to come next year we traditionally hold it the last week of June.

I am planning a BOGO the end of July and hope to offer my retired products online to everyone.
