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.

  • A Stunning fall card with Gorgeous Garden; with a video tutorial and free project sheet!


    Check out this fabulous, colorful autumn card we made at my September card clubs!  

    We added fall colors to the die-cut using Blending brushes. 

    This die-cut is in the Gorgeous Garden dies seen here.  This is the leaves die and there is also a floral option as shown below. 

    **Check out these other projects featuring these dies – here and here.

    If you're interested in these dies now is a great time to purchase them.  Add on another item or two and you'll qualify to receive a Mystery Box from me!  *see details below

    The card base is Vanilla as well as the die-cut.  Ink colors include: Cherry Cobbler, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie and Wild Wheat.

    We started with the two darkest colors – Cherry Cobbler and Old Olive, adding a few splotches of color leaving many open areas for the remaining two colors. I prefer to add the lightest color of Wild Wheat last, so it can fill in any open areas without covering up the previous colors. 

    Watch the video here or scroll down to see it below.  

    The stamps & leaf die-cuts are from the Autumn Leaves bundle seen here.  It's a big favorite of mine this season.  

    The die-cut is almost the entire card front except for a thin edge. I added a strip of Cherry Cobbler to the left side. The greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tags die-cut. The leaves are from both foil and Oxidized Copper papers.  *The Oxidized Copper paper is back in stock! 

    **Here's the free project sheet for this pretty card:  Download Sept '23 Autumn Leaves card

    Below is the video tutorial for this card; and another autumn-themed fun fold card as well.

  • NEW Christmas Card Classes – 3 kits, tutorials or in person options


    I'm very excited to share my new Christmas card class options with you!  I've had quite a few people ask me what I'm offering this year.  I've changed it up from previous years.  

    Look at these striking cards:

    I've created three different groups of cards – 2 each of 2 different cards; using a featured stamp set. 

    1. Christmas Classics cards

    These pretty cards include the traditional colors of Real Red, Cherry Cobbler and Mossy Meadow.  Designer papers are Shining Christmas & Traditions of St. Nick – both from our Online Exclusives.

    2.  Stars at Night cards


    Both of these designs are fun folds; the top two cards include a gift card option. Colors include Night of Navy, Pretty Peacock, Coastal Cabana and Lost Lagoon with a bit of gold and silver flair. Designer papers are the Snowflake Magic specialty and O Holy Night.
