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"

Butterfly Bouquet Fun Fold cards with video!

March 3, 2021

I truly love the new Butterfly Brilliance products seen here. They are so easy AND fun to play with. I made three special fun fold cards on my FB live yesterday. Scroll down to see the video below:

This first card makes the most of this beautiful Butterfly Bijou designer paper! Use the side strips leftover after you die-cut the 6 butterflies from the designer paper. So cool to make use of the pretty edges!

Below you can see how it opens as well as the measurements to make more!

Next is a fun latch card using the Classic Label punch.

I created my own designer paper by stamping the butterflies on Black CS using White Craft ink. Easy and quick! Watch the video below to catch the tips on this fun card.

Lastly is a double point fold card. The two pieces of Designer paper are 2 1/2" X 4" scored 1/2" on the long side. You need two pieces to attach under the White CS layer. Again, watch the video below to get the details.

I shared how I made that striking solid colored butterfly in the video. I just love these products! See them here.

I hope you watch the video below where I share how to make each of these neat cards!

Butterfly Bouquet & the Origami Window Fold

March 2, 2021

Here's another favorite project I've made with the new Butterfly Bouquet products. Are you a fan of butterflies?

Save

I call this unique fold the Origami Window. It's done by folding a 4 X 4" piece of designer paper a few times. See details here or watch my video here.

The colors are Highland Heather and Pool Party. See the neat texture on the purple CS strip? That's one of the dies in the Butterfly Wings dies! You can see them here:

Save

That pretty texture on the inside White square is from the Meadow Moments pair of embossing folders seen here. They fit in your die-cutting machine but they were made narrow enough to fit in the new Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine too!
