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.

  • More Christmas card swaps; creative ideas for you!


    Yesterday I shared an elegant Christmas card swap made by one of my Flowerbug’s; today I’ll share a few cute ones. Which is your style?

    First up is a sweet card made by Candace who chose the Gingerbread Man bundle seen here.

    She heat embossed the gingerbread outline on Pecan Pie card stock and die-cut it with the coordinating die. She also stamped the hat and scarf images with heat embossing too. Love the sheet-pan effect the Silver Foil paper gives here! So cute!

    Next is an adorable card made by Joan who featured the Homemade Treats bundle seen here. Another sheet pan with gingerbread on it! So cute.

    Her colors include Basic Beige, Real Red, Silver, Early Espresso & Pecan Pie. Each of the elements are stamps & coordinating dies from this cute Homemade Treats bundle seen here.

    The next card is made by Kathy who used the North Pole Delivery designer series paper for this gatefold card:

    Her colors include Real Red, Shaded Spruce and Petal Pink. See this cute suite here. It’s great for the animal lovers out there.

    And lastly today is this center fold card made by Barb who used the Festive Friends bundle seen here.

    She also used the Waves 3D folder in the back and the Christmas Tags & More DSP for the plaid strips. Here’s the inside view:

    Stay tuned; I’ll share more swaps tomorrow!

  • Modern Christmas card idea


    Today I have a gorgeous Christmas card idea from our October Team swap. Each month my Flowerbug’s swap cards with a chosen theme.
    This first card was made by Jacki who chose the Modern Christmas suite.

    Her colors include White, Black and Gold foil accents as indicated by the gorgeous Modern Christmas designer paper seen here. If you love it I have a pre-cut card kit or PDF tutorial you can opt in for too. And it’s also my free tutorial of the month for any online order.

    The embossing folder is the So Swirly 3D and her greeting is from the Greetings for You Mix & Match ephemera seen here. This pack of greetings has 6 sheets of gold foil printed greetings!

    She used many of the dies in the Ornamental Christmas bundle seen here. I love the gold foil on the ornament. This card is truly elegant!

    I love the elegance of the Black, White & Gold.

    I’ll be sharing many more of our October Christmas themed card swaps by my Team this week and next. Stay tuned!

  • Wow! Look at this incredible Light & Wonder scene


    Here’s a gorgeous card I shared on last week’s Live video: Are you following me on YouTube here? Or Facebook here? Don’t miss out on my weekly videos!

    My colors include Cloud Cover, Black, Misty Moonlight, Gorgeous Grape, Highland Heather, White & Timid Tiger. Inks are Highland Heather, Cloud Cover, Black & Timid Tiger.


    It’s made with the Light & Wonder bundle seen here. The dies are amazing at creating scenes! Look at the layered mountains, trees and that water die-cut!
    Sponging makes a big difference! I sponged the top of the mountains with purple ink, the water with Cloud Cover ink and the sun with Timid Tiger ink.

    Tip: Can you see the ‘water lines’ I created with a Wink of Stella pen? So cool!

    This is one of my favorite cards I’ve made in awhile. I hope you like it too!

    I got the layout idea for this card from Amanda Mertz on Pinterest but changed it up a bit. I love creating scenes and when I saw this suite it was an absolute must have for me. See it here.

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on this link to access it.

    Below is the video tutorial for this card and another easy card layout using this suite.
