Freak for All - July Control Freaks Blog Tour


Welcome to my first Control Freak Blog Tour.  I've been a Control Freak for many years but just got into the blogging world.  This month the Freaks are sharing  ideas from the new catalog, Holiday Mini and Convention swaps.  You should have just come from the blog of LeeAnn Greff.  


My first card was inspired by my friend Lisa Horton.  I saw her card and had to make a really country Bootiful Occasions card.  All of the embossed card stock is sponged to help bring out the wonderful texture on this card.  It looks like embossed leather...and what a wonderful use of the Petite Pennants Builder punch.
Stamps:  Bootiful Occasions
CS:  Chocolate Chip, Basic Black, Crumb Cake, Very Vanilla
Ink:  Early Espresso, Chocolate Chip, Crumb Cake 
Accessories:  Big Shot, Vintage Wallpaper Embossing Folder, Petite Pennants Builder
    punch, Aqua Painter, Hemp Twine, Basic Rhinestone Jewel, Process Blue COPIC Marker

This is one of my Convention Swap cards.  I love flowers and the Field Flowers stamp set is wonderful....and I just LOVE the new Gumball Green Stitched Satin Ribbon!!!!   I can't seem to get enough of it.

  1. Great projects, Judy. I especially like the boot card with the coil of rope. Very creative, and what an awesome masculine card.
