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.

  • Neat Diagonal Z-fold with Balloon Festoon; free project sheet too!


    I created this card for my May Team swap; the theme was to use new Summer catalog products.

    The Balloon Festoon bundle is a new favorite of mine. The multiple sizes of balloon dies are just wonderful and perfect for any celebratory event. See it here.

    I used the 12 X 12 Pool Party 2-tones card stock for the diagonal layer. It’s 12″ X 5 1/4″ scored every 4″. Then simply cut at an angle from the lower left to the upper second score line.

    The cute patterned balloons are cut from the new Beautiful Ordinary Life designer paper (seen here) and the new 2026-28 In Color Patterns DSP. See it here.

    I created a free project sheet for you; click here to print or download it.

    Below is the video where I shared this card and another featuring the same products.

  • Balloon Festoon surprise slider card with video tutorial


    I shared this CUTE card on last week’s Live video. We made it at my May card clubs:

    It features the Balloon Festoon bundle seen here and the Beautiful Ordinary Life designer series paper. Both are in the 2026 May – August catalog by Stampin’ Up! They pair up wonderfully together!

    It might look like a simple fun fold card but look how it opens:

    The inside greeting layer slides out when you open the front of the card. It’s super easy! Watch the video below to see my tips & tricks on this card fold.

    My colors include Pool Party, Crisp Cantaloupe, White & Daffodil Delight. I used the colors in the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP as a guide.

    Here’s the free project sheet for this card; click here. Feel free to download it to print or save in your files for later.

    Below is the video tutorial; I hope you watch it! There’s a second card I share as well; I’ll feature that project in tomorrow’s post.
