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.

  • Split Front card technique; it’s easy with my template & video!


    We made this pretty set of cards on Monday night's Stamp with Me Live.  It's the 2nd & 4th Monday's at 7:30 pm CT.  Click here and follow my page to get notified when I'm live.  There are 6 live videos each month! 

    I used the Beauty of the Earth DSP seen here.  The die-cuts are from the Iconic and Artistic dies. in White & Misty Moonlight. The greeting is from the In Symmetry stamp set. Those pretty Subtle Shimmer sequins are from the upcoming Holiday catalog which starts next week!!  

         

    I also used another sneak peak product from the upcoming Holiday catalog; the Timber 3D embossing folder.  Of course I stamped the greeting before I embossed it. 

    I hope you watch the video below to get the tips on cutting these pieces and finishing the cards. 

    Here is the template.  Start out with a 4" X 5 1/4" piece of card stock AND of Designer Paper.  

    I suggest you cut this out of scrap card stock.  Make marks where indicated and cut on the diagonal.  Once you have the template I first place the bottom left piece (2 1/2") over my cut DSP & CS pieces and cut.  Then I use the upper right piece (3 3/4") on the remaining piece of papers and cut.  That leaves me with the center piece ready to go. 

    Here's the video for you:

  • Welcoming Woods sponged background


    Here's one more card featuring the upcoming Welcoming Woods stamp set from the Holiday Catalog. 

    I went for a colorful background here with Highland Heather, Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight. 

    I kept this at an extremely simple layout.  Sometimes I just look in my scrap basket of colors I want to use and figure out a layout with them.  These cards frequently turn out to be my favorites!

    Measurements:

    • White card base 5 1/2" X 8 1/2", White main image 3" X 4 1/4"
    • Black 3 3/4" X 2 1/4"
    • Calypso Coral 1 5/8" X 4 1/4" 
    • Daffodil Delight strip 1/2" X 4" 

    I hope the cards I've shared using this Welcoming Woods stamp set have inspired you to add it to your list!  We can order from the Holiday catalog starting Tuesday, August 3rd!
