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"

Another Boho Medley card

July 3, 2020
Here's another pretty card featuring the Boho Indigo Product Medley on page 9 of the annual catalog. See it here online.

Details:
1. I stamped the greeting from the medley onto a scalloped rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly dies. Then I added a few die-cuts from the Medley in Misty Moonlight & Granny Apple Green.
2. I colored the rhinestones with a Light Navy blends marker. The designer paper strips are 3" wide by 4 1/2" long and punched with the Banner Triple punch.
3. The Misty Moonlight layer is 3 3/4" X 5" in size. I added a 3/4" X 4 1/4" Granny Apple Green strip of CS across the back.
The Boho Indigo Product Medley comes with a whole bunch of products all in one box including stamps, dies, beautiful designer paper in 6 X 6" size, textured card stock, die-cuts, ribbon and paper/bead flowers. The colors are Misty Moonlight, Night of Navy, Vanilla, White, Garden Green & gold.

I decided to use the Rectangular Postage punch for a quick, pretty card. See it here.

Save

The colors are Misty Moonlight, Seaside Spray & White. The Misty Moonlight pieces are textured with the Meadow Moments embossing folder. The greetings are from the Fancy Phrases stamp set seen here. I used the Tailored Tag punch for the front greeting. That delicate flower on the greeting is included in the Product Medley AND the refill for it.

The new Rainbow Glimmer paper is absolutely amazing! Have you seen it yet? Click here.

Save

If you like colors, and I mean sparkly, bright colors you need to get some of this Rainbow glimmer paper! It's on page 153 of the Annual Catalog.

Here I used the Many Medallion dies to cut a full sheet of this pretty paper and adhered it to a Black card. All it needed was a simple greeting (Tasteful Touches set) and bow made with the new Pool Party sheer ribbon!

How about another option?

Save

I used the same strip of this paper for this die-cut; it's just further down on the sheet. So many beautiful colors in gradient hues. The greeting is from the Field of Flowers stamp set.

Here are both cards side by side.

Save

Which do you think highlights this beautiful glimmer paper better; white or black? I was torn so I did one of each.
