Lots to see in this month’s Control Freak’s Blog hop!

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.

  • Framed & Festive for an easy Christmas card

    I shared this pretty card on last week's FB Live video.  I LOVE this pretty DSP.  

    Fitting Florets berries Save

    For this card I colored the white berries on the DSP Red with a Blends marker.  You can change the color of these berries so easily! They could be pink for a birthday card or red for Christmas. 

    The greeting is from the Framed & Festive stamp set seen here; available through early January or while supplies last.

    FRAMED & FESTIVE CLING STAMP SET (ENGLISH) Save

    I love this card layout because of it's simplicity.  It has a textured layer, a layered piece of designer paper, ribbon and a punched greeting.  Everything most of us want to add to our cards.  Here are the measurements, in the photo below.
