Big Day Control Freak Swap
This was my Control Freak Sale-a-Bration card swap. I was waiting for just the right time to share and today is the day! It actually looks great with several of the patterns from the Best Year Ever Designer Series Paper (free Sale-a-Bration choice).
The DSP has a window cut-out using the Label Framelits. Be sure to save the cut out, as I'll show you how I used it on my next card below.

Big Day Cake
Here's where I used the Label Framelit cut-out (leftover from the card above). I had the focal point of this card put together for several weeks. But for some reason, the rest of the card just wasn't coming together. Then it hit me...try a Z-Fold. Then in minutes - the rest of the card came together - love that when that happens.
A Z-Fold can be made with any size card by folding the front of the card back towards the fold, like shown in the photo. Do you see the Z?
