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.

  • Check out these Cute Fun Fold swaps by my Flowerbug’s


    I haven't shared these adorable fun fold cards made by some of my Flowerbug's.  

    First is a happy card made by Joan featuring the Sweet Peas stamp set seen here.  

    I LOVE her bright colors of Lemon Lime Twist with Berry Burst and Pretty Peacock.  She really made use of the Spotlight on Nature dies – 2 in the front AND two in the inside! These dies are unavailable right now but should be back in stock next week. 

    It's a Dutch Door card fold and she really jazzed it up with layers!  See the cute Sweet Peas stamp set here. 

    Measurements:

    • The card base is 8 1/2" X 5 1/2" and she trimmed off the front half at 2 3/4". 
    • Dutch door card stock is 2 1/2" X 4" on the front & inside
    • stamped White is 3 3/4" X 2 1/4" on the front & inside. 
    • White inside is 4" X 5 1/4"

    Next is a sweet card made by Jacki who chose the Ice Cream Swirl stamp set.

  • A fun layout for the Full of Life designer paper – video & free project sheet too!


    Before I share today's project I have to shout out that the new Holiday catalog starts today! Plus my Open House & BOGO event is today from 4:30 – 6 pm. 

    ~~~

    I LOVE the Full of Life designer series paper!  This card shows just how fabulous it is!

    The clouds and sun die-cuts make this card extra special. They're from the Brightest Skies dies seen here.  The greeting is from the My Small Business stamp set seen here. 

    It was one of my August Card Club projects and everyone loved it. I coordinated the designer paper to match the card bases; here's another example below:

    The greeting for this one is from the Trusty Tools stamp set.
