Control Freaks March 2018 – Beautiful Bouquet

March 19, 2018 By Connie | 4 Comments

Hi!  Welcome to the monthly Tour de Freaks, brought to you by the Control Freak Swappers!  This month our theme is BEAUTIFUL BOUQUETS!  I must admit…I LOVE my flower stamp sets…I have way too many, but they are always the first ones to catch my eye in the new catalogs!  You’ve probably just come from Wendy Weixler’s blog…love her projects, don’t you?  Just click on the link below to take you around the entire blog hop for some GREAT inspiration!

Lots of Lavender

Lots of Lavender was the FIRST Sale-A-Bration set that I just HAD to have.  You know…it is a FLOWER!  But, I also have loved seeing the flower turned upside down as Wisteria!  I enjoyed driving thru Alabama on Spring Break heading to Florida, and seeing the Wisteria blooming in the small towns we went thru!  I combined the Lots of Lavender stamp set with the Picture Perfect Birthday greetings!

Here’s the card:

  • The base is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Old Olive cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
  • The Wisteria from Lots of Lavender is stamped with Memento Black Ink ramdonly across the front and sides of the 4 x 5-1/4 piece of Whisper White cardstock, then two-step stamped with Wisteria Wonder and Old Olive Inks.
  • Happiest of Birthdays from Picture Perfect Birthday is stamped with Memento Black Ink in the lower right corner.
  • The Tailored Tag Punch was punched from Wisteria Wonder and Old Olive cardstock, then added to the left side and cut off the edge of the Whisper White.
  • Three different sizes of the green Glitter Dots were added to the tag.

I used the Window Box to create a basket by cutting off the “lid” of the box.

  • The box base is made by cutting the Window Box Thinlit, you’ll need two cut from Old Olive cardstock and put together on the sides and bottom.  (Cut off the lid.)
  • I cut six 1-5/8″ squares of Whisper White and stamped the lavender/wisteria on them as above and adhered them to the sides.
  • I added a 1 x 8-1/2 strip of Old Olive for the handle.
  • It is filled with white Sweet Soiree Readie Shreddie.
  • The greeting from Picture Perfect Birthday’s stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Wisteria Wonder cardstock and punched with the Tailored Tag punch.  A 1/8″ hole was punched in the edge and tied on to the handle of the basket with Gold Tinsel Trim.  Another green Glitter Dot was added to the tag, too.

Here’s a closeup of the tag:

Hope you liked my projects!  OK…next up on the Control Freaks Blog Hop is my my good friend, Debbie Henderson. I love her work, too, so  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 20 years and will have my 19th 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!

    I loved your basket and went down to my stamp room as soon as I saw it. I didn’t have the stamp set you used so I punched small butterflies and pinched the wings up to look like they were flying. It turned out really cute! Thanks I know I will be using this idea many times!
