WELCOME to the APRIL 2011 Control Freaks Blog Tour !!! SUMMER MINI CATALOG SNEAK PEEKS!
You have probably joined me after visiting Wendy Weixler's blog and you can click on the "next blog" link at the bottom of the post to continue on the tour :)
Our tour officially starts on Wednesday, April 20th.. so if you are joining us early, some of the blog tour links may not be quite up yet.. so please check back Wednesday morning for the full tour.
This month we are featuring Stampin' Up! SUMMER MINI CATALOG SNEAK PEEKS . Please enjoy the samples and the tour.
My first Sneak Peek Sample is a Hybrid card I made with MY DIGITAL STUDIO and the new AMAZING Flower Garden Embossing Folder! AAAAAAAAAND.. did you check out the ADORABLE punched flower made with the NEW BLOSSOM BOUQUET TRIPLE LAYER PUNCH!?
(the "leaves" were punched from the Blossoms Petal Punch – Occasions mini)
Do you LOVE that new Flower Garden Embossing Folder !!?
I used the Fabulous Florets MDS download and My Digital Studio to create the floral focal point on this card, but you can also create a similar result with the Fabulous Florets stamp set. ALL From the Summer Mini catalog.
My 2nd sample is a quick little Easter Basket featuring the FANCY FAVOR DIE and the Big Shot and decorated with trim from the BEYOND THE GARDEN DSP pack and those cool new images from the TRIPLE LAYER BLOSSOM PUNCH!
Mix and match layers from the 2 new punches: Doily Triple Layer Punch & Blossom Bouquet Triple Layer Punch!
My 3rd sample features the STRENGTH & HOPE stamp set and MDS download for that set.. I combined the 2 into this card.
I printed the text from this set using My Digital Studio onto Stampin' Up! Cardstock Vellum on my laser printer, and overlayed it on top of paper from the BEYOND THE GARDEN DSP pack in the Summer mini.
I hope you have a wonderful week ahead and ENJOY THE BLOG TOUR!
