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"

Happy Birthday to You; a free stamp set!

January 15, 2020

Have you seen this pretty stamp set yet? The cake on a pedestal image is quite pretty and easy to color too.

And guess what?! They are releasing a set of die-cuts for this set next month! It includes 7 dies including one for the entire cake, just the flowers, a detailed pedestal and two sets of leaves. It will be for purchase; it's not part of Sale-a-Bration. There are 6 new items they'll release on February 4th that coordinate with items in the new Mini catalog and Sale-a-Bration catalog. I'll share more on that soon.

This pretty card has a bit of the Parisian Blossoms Designer Series Paper on the edge; it brings together the soft colors of Pool Party, Petal Pink and White. It's a bonus card for those who take my New Catalog stamp a stack class on January 25th.

That detailed scalloped rectangle is from my favorite new set of dies; Stitched So Sweetly. It's one of the best things in the new Mini Catalog!

I colored the cake with Blends markers in Petal Pink, Pool Party and Mint Macaron. The greeting is stamped in Smoky Slate. Note the addition of the Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon!

The Parisian Blossom DSP, Champagne Rhinestones and Petal Pink/Champagne ribbon are all included in this month's Cards kit to go. Click here to get the details on it. Or message me at lagreff60@gmail.com

Here's a photo of all you get in the kit; $20 in product plus the 10 pre-cut cards! All for $28 before shipping. You do need to RSVP by tomorrow, Thursday January 16th to receive it though!

Another Positive thoughts card; in a unique color combination

January 14, 2020

I have no idea where I came up with this color combination. I started out with the Petal Pink because I wanted to use the gorgeous champagne edged ribbon. Maybe I was avoiding green; but the Basic Gray looks beautiful with the Petal Pink!

Save

The Positive Thoughts stamp set is so easy to play with; the images are soft yet detailed which is totally my style. That embossing folder is called 'Coastal Weave'. It's a free gift to everyone who places an online order over $65 this month (detailed below).

AND, they are coming out with dies to coordinate with this stamp set in February! I'm so excited about them. It includes 11 dies for each of the images in the set plus more! A stitched rectangle, a detailed edgelit and more botanical images. You'll love them! They will be for purchase; they're not part of Sale-a-Bration.

Save

Besides the pretty images the greetings put me over the edge to buy it. I know I'll use them a lot.

I used the same dies; but added the So Sentimental stamp set for the greeting above.

And here is the first version: Which do you prefer? This (above) or that (below)?

Save

Here is the new So Sentimental bundle; my favorite bundle in the entire new catalog! See them here.
