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.

  • Neat Floral Delight fun fold card with free project sheet & video tutorial


    Can you tell that these cards are an extra special fun fold?  It's a bit sneaky how it works!

    I used the Floral Delight designer paper here along with the Floral & Gingham Vellum too.  The center piece is the vellum – the blue gingham and the yellow flowers on the right card. I used our Multipurpose Liquid glue to adhere it and it didn't show a bit! Use a very light hand for success here. 

    Here's how the card opens.  There's an extra score line on the front of the card that allows the center to fold back.  It's really simple but you may need to watch the video here to catch on.  

    Here's a look at how the card base is made without the front panel added. The upper & lower corners are simply cut off at 1". So simple with a surprising effect! 

    For the greetings I used the Mixed Labels bundle seen here.  I love the stitched dies and the greetings in this bundle. I've used it so often. 

    I created a free project sheet for this card. Click on the following link to print or download it.  Download Floral Delight Fun Fold Feb 25

    Below is the video tutorial for this card. I hope you watch it to learn the simple trick to this neat fun fold.

    The upcoming March Paper Pumpkin kit will be 'Daisy Daydream'.  Below is the sneak peek graphic:


    The March kit is always a favorite because it's the Anniversary of Paper Pumpkin and they include a bonus free stamp set in the box!  Many people regret not getting this month's kit once they see it. I love florals and botanicals and the color theme looks fabulous and springy.  

    Another thing to know is that right now during Sale-a-Bration it's a fantastic time to purchase a pre-paid subscription to Paper Pumpkin.  Because you will earn free Sale-a-Bration choices with your purchase!  Win win! 

    You can see the prices, order numbers and SAB choices below.  

    Remember that if you do purchase a pre-paid PP subscription you are in control of which kits you'll receive.  You have the option of skipping a month or pausing your kits.  Since we get sneak peaks you'll have a chance to do that before it's shipped.  

    Here's a link to purchase a pre-paid subscription.     And here's a link to subscribe to get a kit monthly. 

    Remember to do this before February 28th so you earn free Sale-a-Bration choices!  Or subscribe or purchase a pre-paid by March 10th at Noon which is the last day to get the anniversary box.
