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.

  • Another Nature’s Harvest sample – Sneak Peak!


    I created this card for an online swap I participated in.  I love to join card swaps!  I can create one card and make multiples of it.  Then I get a nice variety back that I didn't have to think of!  Plus I receive cards that may not be my style but are my customers style.  Isn't it wonderful that we are all different?!  

    I decided to focus on the 'blues' in the Harvest Meadow designer series paper.  I am usually very happy with a monochromatic card.  They can be very easy on the eye.  

    I cut out two of the 'tall flower/botanical' die-cut in White CS and adhered it to the largest tags in the Tailor Made Tags dies seen here. I added a bow in White Baker's Twine.  The greeting is one of the dies in the Nature's dies along with the tall flowers. 

    The Nature's Harvest bundle can be found in the upcoming 2021 Holiday July/December Mini Catalog.  If you're on my customer list you should be receiving this catalog AND your Sale-a-Bration catalog any day now.  This catalog goes live on August 3rd along with Sale-a-Bration too! 

    In this photo you may be able to spy the texture on the tag.  It's called Timeworn Type 3D embossing folder.  It's subtle design will be a favorite of many!

  • Nature’s Harvest & Harvest Meadow Sneak Peak!


    Here's a sneak peak of a few products from the upcoming 2021 Holiday Catalog.  

    I used the new bundle called Nature's Harvest and the coordinating Harvest Meadow Designer Series Paper. From the Annual Catalog I used the two dies called Tailored Tags and Stitched Leaves.  These are going to be one of my 'go to's'!  Click on the photo to see them in my store. 

    The colors here are Cinnamon Cider, White & Soft Succulent. I stamped the flowers in Soft Succulent ink and water-colored them with ink and an aqua-brush.  The die-cut in the bundle cuts it out perfectly.  The greeting is heat embossed with White powder.   

    Measurements:

    • Cinnamon Cider card 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4", plus a 3/8" X 5 1/4" strip
    • Soft Succulent 1" X 5 1/4" plus a scrap for greeting
    • Harvest Meadow DSP 3" X 5 1/4"

  • Look at these fabulous floral cards!


    Here are a few more of my Flowerbug's Team swap cards for July: 

    First is one made by Paula who featured the Color & Contour Bundle seen here.  She stamped each flower and die-cut it with the Scalloped Contour dies. She also stamped the other flower image for the stem and leaves.  That large scalloped rectangle is also included in this bundle.  There are actually 5 scalloped rectangle in this set! 

    Her colors are Daffodil Delight, Fresh Freesia and Polished Pink. The spatter background image is in this set as well.  Her greeting is stamped on a Tailored Tag punch.  

    Next is a pretty card by Marilyn.  She used the Hand-Penned Petals stamp set.  Her background is from the new Stitched Greenery die seen here.  She also used the Hand-Penned Designer paper and Circles dies.  

    Love this color combination of Mint Macaron, Daffodil Delight and Highland Heather.  She colored in her floral image with Blends markers.  Love that sparkly Highland Heather ribbon!  

    Lastly is a pretty card made by Roxann featuring Positive Thoughts & the coordinating Nature's Thoughts dies.  That wonderful background texture is from the Tasteful Textile 3D folder.  

    Her colors feature Petal Pink, Daffodil Delight, Polished Pink, Olive and Soft Sea Foam. There are lots of pretty die-cuts & details on her card!  The greeting is one of my very favorites.  

    I'll share more of our swap cards tomorrow!
