Control Freaks April Blog Hop

Hello and welcome to our April Tour de Freaks!  Glad you could stop by and visit.  You may have come from Mary Brown's blog.  She does such a wonderful job.  Hope you are enjoying our Tour.

I have a couple of cards to share.  I made this card for our April Stamp-a-Stack.  This was my very first time to use the Summer Starfruit card stock and DSP.  The dashes on the DSP look like shooting stars...which gave me this idea.

       Star punches---I just realized they are retired.  What's up with that?  We NEED

       star punches.  :)

My next card will be perfect for a male birthday.  I will be teaching it at next month's Stamp Camp North.  It is an easel card.  When you open it up, you see "Another great year, another great birthday".  It will be perfect for my brother in Idaho for his birthday.

Peaceful Petals

 For our March Stamp-a-Stack we all made Unique Fold cards.  The customers got to make each card and go home with a unique fold direction sheet on how to make each card.  I decided I would use the Easel Fold card.  I cased this card but can't find where I saw it.  If it is yours, please let me know and I"ll give you credit for such a lovely card.  It is a great card for a birthday or even Mother's Day.  When you pull the center piece up to an easel position, it shows the sentiment.  Very Frilly.  I love it!  This was the first time in quite awhile to not use my Big Shot.
