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.

  • Black Friday Special! (Through Sunday too)


    Do you normally shop on Black Friday?  Online or in the stores?  I have a feeling there will be a LOT more online shopping this year!  That's my plan anyway.   

    I thought I'd host my own Black Friday special this weekend; just in case you want/need any Stampin' Up! products.

    Be sure you consider your crafty friends or family when shopping.  Think card kits or Paper Pumpkin! Giving them some special projects to create while they stay at home is a thoughtful gift. 

    All online orders over $55 this weekend that use this host code NCMAWRKB will receive one of our hand made Multipurpose glue stands! 

    And if your order is over $75 I'll add a tube of Multipurpose glue too! 

    Go here to shop but be sure to order between Friday, November 27th through Sunday, November 29th to get this special offer! 


    I will choose the color unless you message me requesting a certain color. We have a limited supply of some colors. 

    If you want to purchase one or more they're available in my Shop here.  They are $6 each and shipping is about $3-4 in US.   They make great gifts for your stamping friends!

    Next weekend I'm having the last Christmas cards class on Saturday.  Here are the cards we're making: 

    It's all about the trees this time!  I realized after I grouped them together that each one features a tree.  

    Class is Saturday, December 5th at 10 am.  Class size is limited due to social distancing but there are two spots left. Message me if you'd like to come.  You can get the PDF tutorial for this class and the 3 others I had here at my Shop.

  • Happy Thanksgiving!


    I hope you can enjoy a very Happy Thanksgiving today!  I know many of us cannot be with the family or friends like we're used to.  It's so difficult with this pandemic; tough times and even tougher decisions! 

    I received this cute card from my friend Pat this week.  I wanted to share it with you with my seasonal wishes for you and your family. 

    She used my Million Dollar stamp set; Life is Beautiful seen here.  You might think this is for Halloween; but she has a two black cats and I have one so this fit us both! 

    If you aren't on Facebook you might not know about my stamp set challenge.  I found out how many of these stamp sets have been sold so far worldwide and had my FB Live followers guess.  What's your guess??   

    As of two weeks ago Stampin' Up! has sold over 16,000 sets!  That's 176% over their predicted amount!  Whoop!  I'm thrilled with how you all like it!

    Isn't it pretty?  I used the Poinsettia Place designer paper and the Poinsettia Petals bundle plus Metallic pearls & the All the Trimmings ribbon combo as well as the Vanilla/Gold ribbon. 

    Here's the inside: 

    Measurements:

    • Card Base 5 1/2" X 5 1/4" scored at 4 1/4"
      CS – same color as base 4 1/8" X 3 5/8"
      2 pieces designer paper 4" X 1 1/4" for sides and one more at 7/8" X 5 1/4" for top (or a textured piece of CS instead).
      2 pieces neutral CS for front and inside
      A die-cut flower, snowflake etc 

    You can see the Poinsettia Place suite of products here.  They're so pretty!
