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"

Free Quick & Easy One Sheet Wonder template for 12″ designer paper

January 4, 2021

When I saw the Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper I thought it would work wonderfully with a one sheet wonder. It's amazing and gorgeous paper that you can get FREE during Stampin' Up!'s 2021 Sale-a-Bration promotion. It starts on Tuesday, January 5th so I cannot give you a link to the products quite yet. But I can show you my cards!

Save

Aren't they sweet? All are made with just one sheet of 12 X 12" Berry Delightful paper. I needed just a few additional strips and layers along with greetings. The colors are Poppy Parade, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, White & Flirty Flamingo.

Here's the template I created. You can watch the video below to get some tips on making these cards.

Save

I used the Berry Blessings stamp set which is included in the free bundle along with the Sweet Strawberry set & punch bundle from the new Spring catalog.

This stamp set & Designer Paper are free with a $100 purchase during SAB.

Save

Here's the Sweet Strawberry bundle I used. I love that the punch has 4 parts that match the stamps! (You can tell which images coordinate with the punch; they're highlighted.) And notice how the fonts in both of these sets match?!!

Save

After I made the strawberry cards I wanted to try the blueberries sheet so I made these cards with that one.

Save

I'm offering the 10 strawberry cards as a free pre-cut kit to go to anyone who chooses the Berry Delightful bundle from me during Sale-a-Bration; which runs from January 5th – February 28th. However, the supply may be limited in February.

Or if you already own the bundle and want the pre-cut kit you can order it here in my Shop.

**Kits ordered in January will ship out at the end of January and can be combined with my other monthly kits to save on shipping.

Below is the video where I share some tips on using my OSW Template:

Remember; Sale-a-Bration starts tomorrow; Tuesday, January 5th! It's the best time to purchase Stampin' Up! products!

Happy New Year! Who’s ready for new product?!

January 1, 2021
Happy New Year!!! It's officially 2021!

In some ways I cannot believe the actual year. When I was young I thought we'd have flying cars by now and would have people living on the moon! Ha!

I've been playing with lots of new product lately; getting ready for my New Catalog BOGO event on Tuesday, January 5th. I thought I'd share a silly card featuring a few new products with a little play on the end of 2020.

Save

The cute donkey is from a stamp set called Darling Donkeys and it's a free Sale-a-Bration choice with a $50 order. I colored him in with Blends markers. The card is Crumb Cake and the confetti & number die-cuts are in Pacific Point, Bumblebee & Magenta Madness.

Save

Woo hoo!! Sale-a-Bration & the new 2021 Spring Catalog officially start on Tuesday, January 5th!

Products Used:
- The fun confetti die-cuts are from the Dandy Wishes dies in the new 2021 Spring Catalog; I love this retro style!
- The numbers are from the Playful Alphabet in the annual catalog; you get 58 dies for just $34.
- The greeting is from the So Sentimental stamp set; it's in a bundle with the Stitched So Sweetly dies (scalloped rectangle used here.)
Have a wonderful New Year's weekend everyone!
