Lots to see in this month’s Control Freak’s Blog hop!


The theme for February's Blog Hop is projects for our friends! 

There's a lot of talent in the Control Freaks group; be sure to click on each icon at the end of each post to see it all.   

If you just stopped in from Bree's blog I'm sure you enjoyed her projects. She is uber creative!

My first card features the Floating Technique. It gives the illusion that your paper is floating on the card.  

I adhered random sizes of card stock strips onto a piece of Window Sheet and used our largest circle in the Layering Circles dies  to die-cut it out.  I've been making monochromatic cards lately and chose my favorite blue/green hues of Bermuda Bay, Pool Party & Coastal Cabana.  

Details:

  • This circle is added with Stampin' Dimensionals onto White CS that's been embossed with the Tasteful Textile embossing folder. 
  • The 'Thanks' is made with our Amazing Thanks dies from the January-June catalog. 
  • The 'Friend' greeting was fussy cut from the Special Moments stamp set.
  • Those pretty rhinestones are from a new release coming out in March called the Wave Collection.  Rhinestones in blues & greens!!

I recently made a card with the Hello Ladybug using Magenta Madness with Black and wanted to try it out with Coastal Cabana too. I found out that our new Supple Shimmer specialty paper works great for wings! It's pretty & iridescent.


It's also what I like to call Black & White with a 'pop' of color.  A bit of black on a card makes other colors 'show up' and be noticed. 

This card is an easy fun fold.  Turn any basic card into a fun fold with these measurements: 

  • Card base 5 ½” X 8 ½”, score at 2 1/8” & 4 ¼”
  • White (X 2) 3 ½” X 4 ¾”
  • 3 ¾” X 5” Black


The stamped images are all from the Hello Ladybug stamp set.  It's in a bundle with the punch at 10% off when purchased together.

  • Double Diagonal card fold with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Have you ever made a double diagonal card fold before?  They're a little bit addictive and so easy. This layout is also a great way to combine coordinating designer papers & use up your stash! 

     

    Here I used the new Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP along with the With You in Mind stamp set.  I love the nice big greetings. 

     

    When making this card you start out with a base 11" X 4 1/4" scored at 5 1/2". Then trim off the outer diagonal piece from the score line down to the corner.  This is then flipped and adhered to the attached card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how to do it.  

    I used the 'To the Point' punch along with the 2 3/8" circle punch here.  They work beautifully together.

  • Curtain fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat curtain fold card on a video last week.  If you missed it click here to see it.  Or slide down a bit.  

    I chose a few new products from the Spring catalog including the wonderful With You in Mind stamp set & Timeless Plaid designer series paper.  The colors include Lost Lagoon with Pebbled Path & White.  

    If you haven't made a curtain fold yet they're quite easy if you get the scoring correct.  I got these measurements from my friend Susie Wood.  It's a 6" X 3" piece of DSP scored at 2 3/4", 3 1/4", 4 1/4" & 4 3/4". I then made a mark on the far right down 1" and cut off the bottom right corner from the first score-line on the bottom to the upper right. 

    I made a few of these and decided to try stamping the Lost Lagoon layer instead of texturing it with the Plaid 3D embossing folder (right card).  Which do you prefer? 

    The greetings are stamped on a die-cut from the Greetings of the Season dies seen here.  It's a good time to order those large items like dies because you can earn free products during Sale-a-Bration.


    I created a free project sheet for this card.  I recommend saving my project sheets in a folder or binder for easy card layout ideas.  *Click on the following link to download or print it.  Download With you in Mind Curtain fold

    The inside greeting is from the Mixed Labels stamp set.

  • Happy 20th Stamp-aversary to me!


    It's been 20 years since I joined Stampin' Up! this month.  It's hard to imagine my life without the benefit of all of my friends, team members and customers. 

    Stampin' Up! has made an amazing difference in my life and my families.  I'm so blessed!  

    Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me.  I treasure each and every person I've met on this incredible journey.
