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 fun fold card with the new Regal Winter suite – free project sheet & video too


    I shared the neatest fun fold card on last week's video.  It features the upcoming new suite called Regal Winter from the Holiday Catalog.  This catalog goes live on Wednesday, September 4th. 

    My colors were inspired by the beautiful Regal Winter designer series paper. Fresh Freesia, Blackberry Bliss & White. 

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it?  It's not!  The right side has a fold to it and the edge is tucked under the diagonal layer. 

    Isn't that neat?  And it's super easy to make too, but to understand it you may have to watch the video below. Or click here to see it.  

    Here's the view of the inside once opened.  That center Blackberry Layer is attached to only the left side. The DSP strip is centered on it and helps you center the whole piece between the two outer flaps.  It's easy; watch the video! 

    **I'll be sharing two more pretty cards featuring this new suite on Tuesday's FB Live video (Sept 3rd). If you're on Facebook I hope you're following me.  If not find me here. 


    I created a free project sheet for you; click on the following link to download or print it.  Download Regal Flora Diagonal Latch card

    Below is the video for this card and another neat idea with the Full of Life DSP. Don't forget to subscribe to my YouTube Channel while you're there.  I post a new video each week!

  • Incredible Seagull fun fold card with measurements!


    Lori made this adorable card for our August card swap.  

    It looks like a normal card front doesn't it. But wait!  It opens up like this:

    Isn't that neat?  The side flaps sneak under the front panel. 

    She chose the use the Lily Pond Lane designer paper for her card.  It's actually on sale right now – but the sale on our Designer Papers end tomorrow!  See all of the papers on sale here. 

    She added a white layer in the back for signing. It needed to be able to fold for the card to work so there's a crease in the center. 

    She used the Charming Duck Pond stamp set for her images & greetings. It's part of the Lily Pond Lane suite. 

    Measurements:

    • Card base – 2 pieces at 4 1/4" X 8 1/4" score at 2 1/4", 4" and 6 1/4" – the widest flap is on the left and right sice when the 2 pieces are sitting next to each other. 
    • 4 1/4" X 4 1/4" front. Glue onto the middle of the folded pieces to hold them together. 
    • White – 4" square for back of card
    • DSP 4 X 4" front, 2 at 1 1/2" X 4" inner panels & 2 at 2" X 4" outer panels 

    Thank you for the measurements Lori!  Here's an view of this neat card from above. 

    I hope to make one of these cards on a video soon.
