Control Freaks Summer Tour

Note: If you are visiting before the 20th some of the links may not be working. So be sure to come back and visit on the 20th to see all the wonderful projects!

Hello, Friends! I am so excited to be participating in this month's Control Freaks blog tour! You should have come from Lee Ann Greff's blog. But if you started here, that's o.k. because you will click your way through to see all the Freaks and eventually end up here again. This month the Freaks will be showing items from the upcoming Summer mini catalog. And there are some super, great, fun products to show! I decided to show you some new designer paper and the coordinating stamp set, along with a coordinating embossing folder. These have quickly become some of my favorite products! But I think that I will be falling in love with all the products!

So I made a card holder/organizer and a card to go in it. Take a look:

And here is a look at the inside with the tabs:

Here is a look at the box when it is closed:

And here is a better look at the card I made to go in it:



 I got the instructions for the card holder/organizer from SplitCoast. It is super easy to make! I only made one card for this project, but you could make all your cards to coordinate with your box! I also thought that this would make a wonderful Mother's Day gift.

For this project I used the new Beyond the Garden designer paper. This paper coordinates with the colors Pacific Point, Melon Mambo, Wild Wasabi, Tangerine Tango, and Daffodil Delight. These are such fun, bright, cheery colors that are great for summer! For the card, I used the coordinating stamp set called Fabulous Florets. This stamp set is so versatile and pretty! The greeting comes from the new set Happy Greetings. You might also notice the embossed image on the card itself. This is a new embossing folder called Flower Garden. Too fun!!

I am so glad that you stopped by and now it is time for you to click on the link below and visit Dawn Olchfeske and her wonderful projects! Enjoy the tour and be ready to order from this fabulous mini catalog on May 1!
