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.

  • Amazing Bewitching Bundle projects; WOW!


    I previously shared some of the incredible projects Annette made here and here  She was our Artist of the Month in August; as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She chose to use the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

    First is a card that reminds you of  'candy corn'.  

    Details:

    • She used Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry & White CS – texturing them with the Timeworn Type 3D folder.  
    • The scalloped square is from the Scalloped Contours dies. She colored in the hat & boots with Blends markers.  
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 
    • The glittery hat band is the new Glitter Washi tape seen here

    ~~~

    Next is a fun card made with Parakeet Party, Black & White. 

    Black & White with a 'pop' of color can be so striking!  The circles are from the Layering circles dies; the stitched background is from the Stitched with Whimsy dies.  She added a band of glitter paper on the hat – from the 2022-24 In Color 6" Glimmer paper.  

    ~~~

    And lastly today is another Black & White with a pop of color – this time with Real Red. 

    Details:

    • Painted Texture is the embossing folder used on the White panel. 
    • The Black & White DSP is from the Black & White Designers DSP in the Holiday catalog
    • She colored the hat with Blends markers and popped it up with dimensionals.  
    • I love the knot of Silver Mesh ribbon on the hat!!
    • The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set. 

    Come back for more fantastic projects featuring the Bewitching Bundle soon!

  • Bewitching Teepee Fun Fold card!


    I've shared lots of amazing projects Annette made with the Bewitching bundle here . She was our Artist of the Month in August as part of my Flowerbug's Team.  Each month we have a featured artist that showcases a stamp set or bundle.  She used the Bewitching bundle seen here. 

    Today is a fun fold card called a Teepee card.  It looks difficult to make but it's sure not!  In fact her card inspired me to make one myself.  You can see the video here.  

    She used the Tea Boutique designer paper and the Stylish Shapes & Layering Circles dies for the circles.

    Creating this unique fun fold card starts with three squares measuring 4".  You'll score each one in half on the diagonal.  The designer paper is two 3 3/4" squares that you cut in half diagonally.  Watch the video here or scroll down below to see how it's done.  

     

    This card is held closed with a small bit of Velcro.  The greeting is from the Best Witches stamp set seen here.  It folds flat for mailing and fits in a standard A2 size envelope. 

    The inside is made of one 3 3/4" white square also cut in half on the diagonal.  

    Love these boots!  This and the hats are all from the Bewitching stamp set.  Get the stamp set & Witch punch in a bundle at 10% off here.
