What’s Up Dude?

Welcome to the Control Freaks monthly blog tour!

I am so excited to be joining the Control Freaks for another blog hop. This month our theme is What’s Up, Dude featuring projects for the men in our lives. You may have just visited the blog of the very talented Melissa Davies. She’s always got such wonderful ideas and I love her work. Be sure to scroll to the end of this post to follow along to your next stop.

 

I’ve created a trio of projects using the Bubble Over stamp set to make cards for beer lovers with upcoming birthdays.

SUPPLY LIST

Stamp Set:  Bubble Over

Ink:  Soft Suede, Mango Melody

Paper:  Whisper White, Early Espresso, Mango Melody, Silver Foil, Wood Textures Designer Series Paper

Accessories: Big Shot, Bottles & Bubbles Framelits Dies, 3/4″ Circle Punch, Stamparatus

Adhesives:  SNAIL, Fine-tip Glue Pen, Tear & Tape Adhesive

This first card is an over-the-top Card in a Box.  This card is very similar to one I posted earlier this year using Sale-a-Bration products.  It continues to be one of my most popular Pins on Pinterest.  I’ll be posting a video tutorial for this card later in the week.  It’s very simple to make and it can be folded flat for mailing.  How fun!

Most of the time when I create masculine cards, I keep them very clean & simple.  It’s best if I can make it in 10 minutes or less.  These next 2 cards fit the bill.  I did a lot of stamping off to create various shades of bubbles and bottles.

 

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Your next stop on this blog tour is Wendy Weixler. I’m sure she’ll be blowing us away with another amazing project this month.
