Welcome to the Control Freaks January 2017. We are thrilled to have you join us the 20th of each month. 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 the always creative, Wendy Weixler's blog.
Our theme for this month is: Occasions or Sale-a-Bration...I chose both!
So In Love Bundle
I created this lovely pocket card for my niece, Lindsey's wedding a couple of weeks ago. I used Sweet Sugarplum because that was one of her colors. I wanted something that would hold a gift card and I love the way it turned out.
So In Love Pocket Card
- Score 11" x 4-1/4" Sweet Sugarplum cardstock at 1-1/4" x 5-1/2". Fold into pocket shape and adhere down the top 1-1/4" flap, then adhere 4-1/4" x 1" strip of Falling In Love Designer Series Paper to the flap.
- Stamp "lace" image (FREE Sale-a-Bration Delicate Details stamp set) with Sweet Sugarplum ink, just below the flap.
- Wrap gold Metallic Ribbon (FREE Sale-a-Bration choice) around the entire card (this keeps it closed) and tie in a knot
- Stamp "so in love" image (So In Love stamp set) with Sweet Sugarplum ink on scrap of whisper white. Die cut with Tags & Labels Framelits Dies.
- Punch 1/8" hole at top of tag. Thread several piece of Gold Metallic Thread through tag hole and tie onto ribbon knot.
For the inside, I created a clever little pocket using the So Detailed Thinlits to hold a gift card
Gift Card Holder
- Slide 5-1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Shimmery White Cardstock into the completed pocket card (from above). Make a small mark with a pencil to mark where to stamp the greeting. Pull out panel and stamp greeting (So In Love stamp set) with Sweet Sugarplum ink. Let dry and erase pencil mark.
- Die cut 6" x 3" piece of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock using So Detailed Thinlits (Big Shot & Precision Plate, remove excess pieces with Big Shot Brush).
- Place stamped white panel over floral die cut - center it side to side. Use Bone Folder and score the floral piece along the left & right edges of the white panel. Fold floral piece along the score lines. Add Fast Fuse Adhesive to only the bottom strip of the floral piece and adhere to the front/bottom of the panel. Fold edges over each side and adhere in back. (I did add a little bit of Fine Tip Glue to the back pieces of the floral piece, so the edges would stay down.)
- Insert a Gift Card into the floral pocket, then insert completed panel into pocket card.
Sealed With Love Bundle
These darling candy sleeves will be just perfect for the upcoming Valentine's Day. They are quick to put together and you can change out the greeting to anything you want. Give them to co-workers, teachers, your husband, etc. They will be thrilled that you thought of them!
Valentine Candy Sleeve
- Insert candy into 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag and tie off with Silver Metallic Ribbon (FREE Sale-a-Bration choice).
- Die cut the following and adhere together with the Fine Tip Glue Pen:
- Sweet Sugarplum "slotted heart" & Silver Glimmer Paper arrow using Love Notes Framelits Dies.
- Whisper White heart (#3) from Sweet & Sassy Framelits
- Stamp greeting (Sealed with Love stamp set) with Sweet Sugarplum ink on scrap of white cardstock. Cut with Classic Label Punch.
- Punch 1/16" hole in both the heart and label pieces. Thread Whisper White Baker's twine through holes and tie onto the metallic ribbon.
- Give away to someone you love!
