Control Freak Spring Catalog Tour: Flower Fair

Control Freak Welcome, Stampin' Up!, DOstamping, Dawn Olchefske

Welcome to the Control Freaks February 2013 Tour.  We are thrilled to have you join us today. 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 Justin Kreiger's Blog

Our theme for this month is: "Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog Creations".   

Flower Fair Simply Scrappin' Kit

If you're not a scrapbooker, you may have overlooked this fresh and fun kit found on pg 31 of the Stampin' Up! Spring Catalog.  At first glance you also may not have noticed it comes with 8-1/2" x 11" cardstock, making this kit perfect for both scrapbookers and card makers alike!

My projects today feature a set of four cards and an envelope box to gift-wrap them in.

Easy Winter Memories Holiday Cards

Has the Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog Winter Memories stamp set caught your eye yet?  Well, it finally caught my eye.  It's not generally the style of stamp set I'm drawn to.  I'm not the best at watercoloring and this set seems to call for it.  However, I do love the images and thought, "how can I incorporate them into my stamping style, which leans towards quick and easy?"

Take a look to see what I came up with for Quick and Easy Winter Memories cards (and mailable!)!

The sled is my favorite. I think I'll make up a few dozen of these to send out during the holiday.   How about you, which one is your favorite? 

Enjoy~Dawn O

I Love -----

Notice the word Special appears in all of these!  Stampin Up! does make their demonstrators feel Special!

 All of these demonstrator perks are priceless as I get:

  •  introduced to new techniques and new tools and supplies
  •  meet new demonstrators and see what they are doing
  •  fun outings with demonstrator friends

Big Shot: Stampin' Up! Holiday Stocking Card

Oh my gosh- I'm already starting with the Christmas cards.  I hope it's not too soon!  Here's a super easy card to make with Stampin' Up!'s new Holiday Stocking & Stocking Accent Dies  for the Big Shot.

Stocking-Card
1.PushPin-Note-Reminder-35Dawn's Stamping Tip

Turn a die cut into a folded card...Placement on the die is the trick for this card.  Place the folded edge of a 12x6 piece of Whisper White cardstock (folded in half) at the top of the die, just below the edge of the stocking shape.  Then cut with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine.  That way you preserve the folded edge for your card.

Note:  this will not fit into a regular size envelope, but will make a perfect addition to any wrapped present sitting under your tree!

Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit - by Stampin' Up!

I used contents from the Christmas Lane Simply Scrappin' Kit which you can find in the 2011 Holiday Mini Catalog.  This is such an adorable kit and it's not just for scrapbooking, but for card making too!  Kit includes:  (2) 12x12 sheets each of Cherry Cobbler, Lucky Limeade, Soft Suede & Early Espresso (total of 8), (3) sheets each of two patterns of double-sided Designer Series Paper (total of 6), (2) 12x12 sheets of self-adhesive die cuts.
