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.

  • Quick cards with the Stack & Cut template! Video & measurements too!


    I featured the Stack & Cut template for this project from last week's Stamp Camp class.  Scroll down to see the template; it's one of my favorite ways to use designer paper and for quick cards too!  

    I chose to feature the Celebrate Everything designer paper for a colorful thank you card.  Here are the products I used: 

    • Greetings are from the Charming Sentiments stamp set
    • Leaves are from the Simply Fabulous stamp set
    • The white die-cut is from the Painted Label dies. The Poppy Parade circle is 2 1/4"

    And here is the template.  Remember that you can use just one piece of DSP for one card; or stack two pieces and get 2 cards.  This works best with double sided designer paper.  

    I hope you try making some Stack & Cut cards soon.  Like I said it's a wonderful way to use your designer paper. 

    Here's a group of cards I shared in this video. 

    I share this card & 2 more fun folds in the video below:

  • Christmas Card Class – Attend class or get the pre-cut kit & tutorial!


    Each year I offer my local gals at least 3 Christmas card classes so they can create beautiful cards to send to their family & friends. I also offer my long distance customers a chance to get these same cards in a pre-cut kit & tutorial as well.  

    Here are the beautiful cards for October's class:  

    I love the variety – from cute to beautiful; they satisfy all of your holiday card needs.  

    For these cards I used the Christmas Season (2022 Annual Catalog), the Christmas Scottie, Sweet Candy Canes and Peace to You stamp sets from the 2022 Holiday catalog.  You can substitute other sets for these if you'd like to.  

    The local class is on Saturday, October 29th at 10 am.  Cost is $25 and you'll make 3 of each card with stamped, coordinating envelopes too.  RSVP to attend  by Thursday, October 20th please.  

    The pre-cut kit to go includes 12 cards, all cut, die-cut & punched pieces.  It includes ribbons but not gems, texturing or stamped images. The cost is $25 plus shipping. 

    Go here to get the kit to go; while supplies last.  

    You can combine kits and save on shipping.  You can see them all here.  

    I am not offering the PDF tutorial separately at this time. 

    I just love these cards!!
