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"

Sweet Ice Cream Fun Fold card with video tutorial

May 19, 2021
We made this special fun fold card at last month's Card Clubs. See how it latches on the punched ice cream piece?

Save

I used the Sweet Ice Cream bundle and the Ice Cream Corner Designer Paper seen here. This DSP is retiring in June; if you like it get it now while you can. The cones on this card are punched from the designer paper itself. No need to stamp them when the paper is perfect! The card stock is Cinnamon Cider with Blackberry Bliss and Old Olive.

Save

You can mix & match the designer papers for a nice variety of cards. I used Blackberry Bliss, Pear Pizzazz and Cinnamon Cider ink, stamping off first for the solid ice cream images.

The Sweet Ice Cream bundle is available now in the Spring catalog. This set & punch are carrying over into the current Annual catalog but they are no longer a bundle at 10% off. Save $$ and get them now at a discount.

Be sure to watch the video below to see how to make this card.

Save

Here are the measurements for you:
- Cinnamon Cider 4 1/4" X 11" scored at 2 3/4" and 5 1/2" plus 3 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4"
  White 3 1/4" X 4" and 3 3/4" X 4 1/2"
  Old Olive gift card option 2 3/4" X 3 1/2"
  DSP – top 3 1/4" X 4", bottom 2 1/2" X 4"

Corner Latch Cards Video with Expressions in Ink

May 18, 2021

I absolutely LOVE this fun fold! It makes such good use of both your card stock and designer paper. There's a video at the bottom of this post so you can catch my tips and watch me make these.

I chose to use the Expressions in Ink Specialty Designer Paper for these cards. It's absolutely stunning and filled with alcohol ink backgrounds. This means you don't have to create them yourself!

This card is made with our new Polished Pink card stock along with a bit of Gold foil accents die-cut with the beautiful Artistic dies.

In this next photo you can see how it opens as well as the stamped images from the Artistically Inked stamp set & bundle seen here.

Below is the same card made with different papers from this DSP only the card base is Pale Papaya. An entirely different look with the softer colors. The flowers & leaves are from the same stamp set and die bundle.
