Control Freak’s Blog Hop; Favorite Colors theme!

Save

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.  

Crane of Fortune swap 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"

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.  

Artfully Layered Triple Time stamping 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"

  • Storybook Moments fun fold card with video & free project sheet

    I shared this easy fun fold card on last week's video. I made it for an online swap in December.  

    Storybook fun fold . Save

    It features the Storybook Moments designer series paper from our new 2025 Spring catalog. It reminds many people of Beatrix Potter. You can see this unique paper here.   It has two sheets of printed die-cuts in each pack that make it easy to add coordinating layers. 

    I love this fun fold because it uses your card stock so effectively.  It starts with a card base at 11" X 4 1/4".  Simply trim off 3 1/4" square from one end and use it as the extra layer on the front flap.  The DSP in the center is 3" square and the side is 2" X 4". Super simple and a great use of your double sided designer paper.

    I chose to highlight the red fruits in the Fruit Salad DSP along with a bit of Daffodil Delight or Granny Apple Green.  I absolutely love how our projects coordinate so perfectly!  This paper is free during Sale-a-Bration.

    The greeting is from the Mixed Labels Online Exclusive stamp set. I love the sentiments and have used them a lot. And the coordinating dies are awesome!

    It's an easy fun fold card that has an extra fold on the right. Fold it back towards the center and add a coordinating strip of DSP to show off our double-sided papers!  I love this quick & easy fun fold and how well it makes good use of your designer paper.  I hope you save it and give it a try.
