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.

    Now you'll cut the front 'white' and designer paper layers using the templates below.  Adhere the layers together and add to the side flaps of the card base.  Watch the video here or below to see how it's done.

  • A unique Puzzle Slider fun fold card with video & free project sheet


    I shared this neat fun fold card on last week's Tuesday Live video. Every Tuesday at 11 am CT I host a live class on my Facebook page here.  If you're not on Facebook I upload them to my YouTube channel here too. 

    It's called a Puzzle Slider fun fold card

    It's quite easy to make & I share how to cut & score and assemble it on my video here.  Or scroll down a bit for the free project sheet you can save & print. 

    I chose our new Petunia Pop card stock for my card base & front layer. The pretty designer paper is called Thoughtful Journey and can be seen here. 

    The greeting image and die-cuts are part of the Unbounded Love bundle seen here.  It's my top favorite bundle in the new catalog. 

    I created a template for the front two puzzle layers of the card. The card base is 9 1/2" X 4 1/4" score at 1" & 2" from each end.
