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.

  • Unique color combo for this Humble Home card; great for Christmas or birthday!


    This is one of the projects we made at my October Card Clubs. What do you think of this fun color combo? 

    I used Highland Heather with Summer Splash & Black. The trees are Old Olive & Lemon Lime Twist.  

    The greetings are from the Iconic Imagery bundle seen here.  I also offered a birthday version for those who didn't want a Christmas card. 

    That pretty white snowfall background is made with White Craft ink and the Falling Snow stamp seen here.  It's currently out of stock but should return around November 18th. 

    Here's the inside view:

    For the greetings I used the Greetings of the Season & Labeled with Love sets.

  • Expressions in Kindness kit is back! And the sale ends today!


    The Expressions in Kindness card kit is gorgeous! Look at these stunning cards…..

    This beautiful kit has been out of stock for many weeks.  I'm so glad it's back in time for the kit promotion.  It was $23 and is now $20.70 but that price ends today!  See it here. 

    The kit is meant to make 8 cards but one set of the card bases is printed on both sides.  I couldn't waste it so I trimmed it to add to both White & Blackberry Bliss card bases.  I did have to add two greeting labels to get 12 finished cards but that's all I added besides extra envelopes.  

    Here are the other 2 sets of cards; I didn't change much.

    Our kits are all inclusive which means everything is included including a stamp set, Blackberry Bliss ink spot, envelopes, gems, ribbon and adhesives. 

    Even though I consider myself an experienced stamper I love our kits.  They give me a chance to create without a lot of prep or planning.  They're great for gifts or last minute crafting. 

    Check out all of our all inclusive kits here.  Today is the last day of the kit sale!
