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.  

Floating Technique Amazing Thanks Save

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.

  • An easy double flap fun fold layout with Pretty Prints DSP. A video, measurements and a gift card option!

    I love fun fold cards that stay closed AND are easy for the recipient to figure out.  This double flap fancy fold card is just that!

    Pretty Prints double flap cards . Save

    We made them on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  You can watch the video here.

    These cards feature the Pretty Prints designer paper seen here.  It's NEW in the 2022-23 Stampin' Up! Annual catalog.  There are multiple prints all in these 4 colors – Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Bermuda Bay and Evening Evergreen.  

    PRETTY PRINTS 12" X 12" (30.5 X 30.5 CM) DESIGNER SERIES PAPER Save

    I used two stamp sets here; both new in the new Annual catalog.  Good Feelings seen here and Botanical Layers seen here.

    One of my favorite things about this fun fold layout is that you can choose to fold or trim it off at the 1 1/2" mark.  Folding it inside creates a pocket for a gift card.  Trimming it off shortens it.  Your choice!  Or make a few of each like I did.

    The die-cut butterflies from Brilliant Wings dies add a pretty touch to these botanical cards. The lower butterfly is added just beyond the outside corner flap to anchor it closed.  So easy and keeps the card laying flat.

  • Colorful Hope Box card kit; limited supply! Opt in ASAP

    I have a 2nd card kit to go during May (see the card kit I posted yesterday here).

    In this kit you'll also receive a new photopolymer stamp set, ink spot, adhesives, spool of ribbon, a clear block and a Wink of Stella.
    • This kit includes all pre-cut pieces for the 12 cards shown plus you'll have 3 extra card bases and kit elements left to make more!
    • The PDF tutorial includes step by step directions, photos, measurements and a supplies list. It is emailed to you immediately upon payment when you purchase it from my Shop here.
    • The kit is mailed out at the end of May via Priority Mail.
    • To finish the cards like mine you'll use the stamps and Blackberry Bliss ink spot from the kit. You'll also need Melon Mambo, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry ink pads and sponges or blending brushes.

    Again, be sure to get this kit here ASAP; they are while supplies last.  

    See my other May card kit here; it's includes 10 beautiful floral cards featuring the Hues of Happiness designer paper and Happiness Abounds bundle.

    I created 10 cards using color combinations in the DSP; many of which are fun fold designs. I used the Happiness Abounds stamp set for my greetings and a few extra accents inside.
