Sneaky Peeks from the Control Freaks!

Time for a new Tour de Freaks blog hop, and this month we are sharing some awesome sneak peeks from the new 2018-2019 annual catalog, which starts in less than two weeks, woohoo!!!  Whether you got here from Debbie's blog, Debbie's Designs, or are starting here, just follow the links to take the whole tour.

Two of my many, many favorite things from the new catalog are the Accented Blooms stamps set (because, well....COLORING!), and the beautiful Springtime Impressions Thinlits Dies (because, well....Mr. Big!). And these dies not only cut the most intricate butterfly or floral looking die cut, but they can be used with the Big Shot Embossing Mats to emboss instead of cut!

My first card shows the die cut layered behind the colored and fussy-cut image. It's so elegant and lacy. I just love it!

For the second card, I used the die and embossing mat and just pressed the impression into the Granny Apple Green background. This time, instead of fussy-cutting the whole image, I stamped it again and cut some of the flowers to pop up. Sure do love those Stampin' Blends markers. I can't wait for June 1st, because there will be eleven new colors available, including me new favorite green! WOOT!

That's my sneak peek to share today. Now jump on over to see what Dawn has to wow you!
