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.

  • 2 Pretty Team card swaps with neat technique ideas!


    Today I'm sharing two Team Swaps from last month.  Both have neat product ideas.

    First is Tracey's cute card. Can you guess what the tiny scallops on the DSP is?  

    She used the Petal Pink scalloped ribbon under the DSP! Tracey has a special gift on fun ways to use ribbon & twine. This effect is so pretty & delicate looking.  It's currently in low inventory. 

    Measurements:

    The DSP is 5 1/4" X 1 3/4", the White 5 1/4" X 4", the card base is 5 1/2" X 8 1/2" scored at 4 1/4". The layer under the ribbon & DSP is 5 1/4 X 2"

    Here is a list of the many products she used:

    • Hugs for Love bundle seen here (punch will be available in April)
    • Moody Mauve, Basic White & Pretty in Pink CS
    • Timeless Plaid 6 X 6" DSP seen here
    • Spotlight on Nature dies seen here
    • 2 3/8" circle punch
    • Forever Plaid 3D embossing folder (circle) 
    • Heat embossing technique

    ~~~

    Next is a pretty card made by Lori. Her special technique surprised me!  Do you spot it?

    She stitched her die-cut circle (Spotlight on Nature) with the 3 color pack of Baker's Twine!  

    Her card base is Flirty Flamingo and the 4" X 5 1/4" CS layer is textured with the Exposed Brick embossing folder seen here.  The pretty DSP is the Sale-a-Bration Bloom Impressions (now retired). The greeting & die-cuts are from the Memorable Blooms bundle seen here. 

    I'll share more Team swaps tomorrow!

  • You are Remarkable fun fold card with the new Botanical Textures DSP & Arches dies


    I shared this card on last week's FB Live.  I made it for an online card swap.  I just love it! 

    It's a simple fold back card with the Arches dies and the new You Are  remarkable stamp set.  Here's what it looks like opened: I love the double Arches dies here! These dies are in low inventory AGAIN.  See them here.    

    The You Are Remarkable stamp set (seen here) is both a 2-step stamp and a Distinktive set which means you get multiple hues of ink with one stamping.  I like that you can stamp the flower and leaves separately in different color inks from the single outline stamp.  Note the inside flower image above that I stamped without the outline.  I like it just as well this way too!

  • You are Remarkable card in a clean & simple style with video & free project sheet


    I created this pretty card with the new 'You Are Remarkable' stamp set from our Online Exclusive offering. 

    I was going for a clean & simple look since that's our March Team swap theme.  I just received this pretty stamp set and love the 2-step & distinktive set a lot!  See this stamp set here. 

    My colors include Black, White, Fresh Freesia and Lemon Lime Twist for the leaves. The embossing folder is called Dashing Designs and is from the Annual Catalog. 

    I also used the new Textured Notes dies for the stitched rectangles.  These are incredible!  See them here:

    On the video I changed the card a bit from the original on the left. Which do you prefer?  How many differences can you spot?
