Sharing the {Freakin'} Love ~ February 2021 Control Freaks Blog Hop

Hello! Welcome to the February edition of the Control Freaks Blog Hop wjere we are sharing the love!  You may have arrive here from the marvelous Melissa Stout of The Stamp Doc or you may just be starting...either way, make sure you make you way through the whole line-up.  You won't be disappointed!

After sharing lots of love last week for Valentine's Day, I decided to share some love in a little different way...with turtles!  I LOVE the Whale of a Time DSP.  The colors in this pack of paper are so bright and beautiful.  The cute little turtles is one of my favorite patterns in the pack, especially when you can fussy cut the little guys out. 

It's always so great when you can let the DSP make the card. The ONLY stamping on this card is the sentiment, which I heat embossed on another pattern of the DSP.  How fun is that?!?!

Of course I had to add a few Whale of a Time Sequins to finish the card off.  The  little clam shells are the cutest!

Next up is some good ol' Snail Mail to send out some love!  And guess what???  There is NO stamping on this card...not one bit of ink!  I put my fussy cutting skills to the test once again to cut out the mushrooms and HELLO word bubble.

Our funny little snail friend was cut from the Snail Mail DSP with the Snail Dies.  All of the cut out pieces were layered on a few different patterns of more Snail Mail DSP...this stuff is the BEST.  I added some white Snail Mail Twine to wrap it all up.  So cute!

Next up on our hop is the creative Connie Babbert.  Don't you just love her creations?!?!

Thanks for hopping along with us this month!  Leave us a little love along the way!

Happy Stamping!

No Stamp November ~ Monday Montage

 

Welcome to an all new Monday Montage Blog Hop!  You won't want to miss a single creation from this amazing group of stampers!

You've all heard of No Shave November right? How about No Stamp November? Say what?!?!?  Yep, thanks to the amazing Trimming the Town DSP, I created two cute cards and used NO stamps!  Take a peak and let me know what you think!

This my absolute favorite DSP in the Mini Catalog.  I love the colors and ALL of the patterns are so too cute!  For my first card, I cut a piece of the mountain scene pattern for the background, then placed a few fussy cut houses and trees around the frozen pond.  Did you know this DSP even has a pattern FULL of sentiments?  No stamps needed...just your favorite paper snips!  A few little snowflake sequins and this card is complete!

Next up is another snowy mountains scene with some of my other favorite cheerful patterns from this paper pack.  The Misty Moonlight Snowflakes and Poppy Parade loop-de-loop's are so much fun and all of the joyful people just make me smile!  Once again, I snipped a sweet little sentiment that was just perfect for this hometown Christmas greeting!

Supplies Used:

Paper ~ Misty Moonlight, Whisper White, Trimming the Town DSP

Other Supplies ~ Stitched Shapes Dies, All the Trimmings Embellishments, Snowflake Adhesive-Backed Embellishments

I can't wait to see what the rest of our Monday Montage crew has in store for us!
