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.

  • Have you seen the clever Happy Houseplants kit?!


    One of our most unique kits lately is the Happy Houseplant kit.  It includes 4 frames with everything you need to create adorable home decor!  

    It's in our Kit Collection seen here and is all inclusive. That means it includes everything you need to create the 4 pieces of framed art all for just $25. They're 7" square when finished.

    I think they're perfect to place in a hall, bathroom or a guest room.  Maybe near a real plant as a coordinating accent. 

    A few tips on putting these together. The clear acrylic cover sheet has adhesive on both sides for protection.  Remove them before assembling. 

    See how 3D they are?  I used a bone folder to curl the plants a bit. The kit comes with Dimensionals for adding an elevated look. 

    Because the pre-cut plant layers are meant to be popped up for a 3D look I added foam adhesive strips seen here to the edges of my frame after I added the clear acrylic sheet. *don't look too close; I added the adhesive strips to the frame edges before I added the clear sheet and had to remove them!

    I love the plants & pots this kit creates. What a beautiful set of home decor art! 

    This kit would make a fabulous gift for someone who has a new home and needs art, someone who likes to craft but not collect, or someone who is redecorating.

  • Sending Love Artist of the Month – party 2


    Here are the second set of Sending Love cards by our Artist of the Month – Donna.  See the first batch here.   

    First up today is a fabulous fun fold card.  

    I often forget to cut apart my sentiment like this.  It sure adds a playful note!

    The cute grass and mailbox die-cuts are all from the Sending Love bundle seen here.  The stamp set & dies are returning in the new Annual catalog but they will no longer be a bundle at 10% off. 

    It starts out as a vertical card with this cute mailbox scene.  But when you open it…… you get a horizontal card!

    I only opened the upper flap in the photo above.  You can see how it turns from a vertical card to a landscape card.  Here's what it looks like fully opened.  I love that you can read the greetings either way! 

    Measurements:

    • Balmy Blue card stock – 2 pieces at 10 1/4" X 4 1/4". Score each in at 4 3/4".  Then mark at 4" and score from that mark to the outside corner.  The two pieces are adhered together in the center (under the large white layer) 
    • White – inside is 5 1/4" X 4", side triangles started out at 3 3/4" square; cut in half on the diagonal. 

    ~~~

    Next is a sweet pocket card.  Don't you love her beautiful sponging?! 

    This card has a hidden pocket between the layers.  See that little envelope sticking out?  

    Measurements:

    • Moody Mauve – 4 1/4" X 5 1/2"
    • Sponged Postage die-cut 3 5/8" X 5"
    • Inside White 2 7/8" X 4 1/8"
    • Bubble Bath 3" X 4 1/4"

    ~~~

    Lastly is this adorable hello card with the cutest envelopes on front!  These are also included in the Sending Love dies. 

    She also used the Deckled Circle dies and the Lighter Than Air designer paper (retiring).  The envelopes match the DSP – Fresh Freesia, Lemon Lolly & Calypso Coral. 

    Thanks so much for creating and sharing these amazing cards with us Donna!!
