December 2015 Control Freak Tour: Occasions & Sale-a-Bration Sneak Peek
December 19, 2015
Welcome to the Control Freaks December 2015. We are thrilled to have you join us today (we'll be fully-live by 12/20). Our tour features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from my friend and fellow friend Julie Davison's blog.
Our theme for this month is: Occasions & Sale-a-Bration Sneak Peek
With the Occasions & Sale-A-Bration catalog release just around the corner (January 5th), we're sharing creations made with these new products. I chose to focus on the fast approaching Valentine's Day holiday (which is less than two months away).
Love Blossoms Collection
Blossoms Quilt Card
If you're a follower of mine, you probably know that I've been enjoying making these 9-square quilt cards. I just made a Christmas card one a few days ago and as long as the supplies were out, I thought I'd switch it up for Valentine's Day. So...what's new?
Love Blossom Products:
- 140643 Bloomin' Love Photopolymer Stamp Set
- 140548 Love Blossoms Designer Series Paper Stack
- 140550 Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper
Dawn's Tips
- Punch (9) 1" squares of Love Blossoms DSP Stack - great way to show off all of the lovely patterns!
- Adhere squares to a piece of 3-1/4" square Whisper White cardstock
- Adhere that to a piece of 3-1/2" square Garden Green cardstock
- Adhere to 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Rose Red card with Stampin' Dimensionals
- Enjoy!
All you need to add is a greeting. which I stepped up with some fun accessories using the new Blushing Bride Glimmer paper (punched with Banner punch). The glossy heart is an Itty Bitty Accents Epoxy Sticker adhere to a Rose Red heart punched with the matching Itty Bitty Accents Punch Pack heart. It's the perfect little accent!

Love Blossoms Ghirardelli Square Treat Holder
This darling little treat holder came out exactly how I envisioned in my head...and only took two tries - woohoo! Plus, it only needs a quarter sheet of cardstock. With a few score lines, a couple of punches with the Envelope Punch Board, I was able to create the perfect size Ghirardelli Square Treat Holder.
I know you're gonna want the directions. And even though it was an easy little pouch to put together, I think it might be easier to show you with a video (we'll see if I can squeeze it in).
