Control Freaks July 2020

July 19, 2020 By Connie | 2 Comments


Hi! Welcome to the monthly Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak Swappers! The theme this month is Summer Lovin’!  One of the things that says summer to me is FLOWERS!

You’ve probably just come from the awesome Wendy Weixler…she does gorgeous work! Just click on the link below to take you around the entire blog hop for some GREAT inspiration!

ARRANGE A WREATH

I ordered this Arrange a Wreath Bundle first thing when the new Annual Catalog preorder came out in May, but I just got around to using it!  I also ordered those awesome 3 x 3 Acetate Boxes…LOVE them, too!

Here’s the card:

Stampin’ Details:

    • The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Thick Whisper White cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
    • The 2-1/4 x 5-1/2 piece of Flowers for Every Season Designer Paper is added to a 2-1/2 x 5-1/2 piece of Bumblebee cardstock, then added to the front. (Has anyone noticed that I LOVE this DSP print?  I know I’ve used it on at least 3 cards so far!)
    • The wreath from Wreath Builder Dies was cut from Just Jade cardstock.  Another partial wreath (just the center portion) was also cut from Whisper White cardstock.  That way I had the center portion in Whisper White that I could stamp the greeting with Magenta Madness Ink and added the Just Jade wreath inlaid around it.  Genius!
    • The small flower from Arrange a Wreath was stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Magenta Madness Ink full strength, then stamped off.  It was also stamped with Bumblebee Ink.  They were cut with the Wreath Builder Die and arranged on the wreath with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
    • The leaves were stamped with Just Jade Ink and cut with the die, then tucked under the flowers on the front of the wreath.
    • The centers are the In Color Enamel Dots (another product that I LOVE!)

For the box:

  • The wreath from Arrange a Wreath was stamped with Just Jade Ink, then hand-cut around the edges.
  • The greeting was stamped with Magenta Madness Ink in the center.
  • The small flower from Arrange a Wreath was stamped on Whisper White cardstock with Magenta Madness Ink full strength, then stamped off. One was also stamped with Bumblebee Ink. They were cut with the Wreath Builder Die and arranged on the wreath with Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals.
  • The leaves were stamped with Just Jade Ink on Just Jade cardstock and cut with the die, then tucked under the flowers on the front of the wreath.
  • The centers are the In Color Enamel Dots.
  • A 1-1/4 x 9-1/2 piece of Magenta Madness cardstock was wrapped around the 3 x 3 Acetate Box and adhered.  The wreath was added on top with Stampin’ Dimensionals on the belly band only.

  • The belly band slips off the box.
  • Inside, six Hershey Nuggets were wrapped with 1 x 3 pieces of Flowers for Every Season DSP.  They were attached to a 3 x 3 piece of Bumblebee cardstock with a Mini Glue Dot so they stayed in place.
  • Then they slide into the Acetate box easily.

I really had fun playing with this set and coming up with these projects.  OK…next up on the Control Freaks Blog Hop is Bree Renwick! I know you’ll enjoy her projects, too!

I love stamping cards, altering 3D items and making little favors. I've been stamping for over 19 years and had my 18th year Stampin' Up! anniversary in early May. I love being part of something that sparks my creativity and hear people comment, "you MADE this?" I also enjoy sharing that passion with others in my classes! If you live anywhere in the Delaware, Dublin, Powell, Lewis Center, Hilliard or surrounding Columbus, Ohio areas, join us! I love to meet new stamping friends. Email me for a current class schedule... I'm adding new classes all the time!

    Beautiful examples for this stamp set. I appreciate your tip on how you used the white CS as the inside of the wreath to add your sentiment. Thanks!
