April 19, 2016
Welcome to the Control Freaks April 2016. We are thrilled to have you join us today (we'll be fully-live on 4/20). 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 fellow freak Lisa Martz's blog.
Our theme for this month is: Stampin' Up! Ladies & Gentlemen
Ladies: First Sight
I'm so going to miss the soon-to-be-retired 1" Dotted Lace Trim, that I just had to use it on my Ladies card. I paired it with the Occasions Catalog stamp set, First Sight.
To You From Me card details:
- Stamp the swirly image three times with Mint Macaron ink into 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Whisper White. Adhere to folded 11 x 4-1/4" piece of Mint Macaron cardstock.
- Wrap 14" of Mint Macaron 1" Dotted Lace Trim (retiring) around front of card and tie in knot.
- Stamp greeting (from And Many More - retiring) on Whisper White scrap, punch with Word Window (retiring). Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals
- Cut strips of Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and Birthday Bouquet Designer Series Paper, adhere just under greeting
- Punch flower using Itty Bitty Accents punch (retiring) with Watermelon Wonder cardstock.
- Attach Candy Dots Neutral (retiring). Adhere flower with Glue Dots
- Enjoy!
A great card to send to any lady on your list!
