Welcome to a new Control Freaks blog tour! I'm your first stop on the tour :) This month, the tour is all about the Christmas Gifts. We all know that Christmas is coming up and many of us create handmade gifts that make this time of year so special. This tour is sure to inspire you!
So, with Christmas gifts in mind, I set out to create something interesting that I could give to family or friends this season.
Paper: Deck the Halls DSP, Always Artichoke Card StockAccessories: Glitter, Red MicroBeads, Red Beads, Battery Operated Tea Light
Isn't this interesting?! My mum had given me a battery operated tea light to make something with and this is what I ended up making. I love giving home decor things to people that we visit , especially seasonal items. The poinsettia is made with a whole lot of folding! I'd found an origami pattern online for the petals and began with a 2" square for the larger ones (the Cherry Cobbler script patterned paper) and then the center petals are made with a 1-1/2" square. The leaves are an oval that I used a circle punch to notch out little scallops along each side.
Stamps: Bells & BoughsPaper: Deck the Halls DSP, Cherry Cobbler, Very Vanilla, Crumb Cake
Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Chocolate Chip, Versa Mark
Accessories: Chocolate Grosgrain, Snowflake Punch, Iridescent Ice Embossing Powder, Crop A Dile, Dimensionals®
This next one is a cute stocking gift card holder! Again, it's another pattern I'd found online. I printed it out onto the papers and cut them apart and assembled. It actually went together really quickly and I could see myself creating a bunch of these in a hurry - perfect for those last minute gifts!
Hope you like these!
Your next stop on the tour is Liz Schultz! Have fun viewing all the fabulous projects :)

Great projects! I made those stockings last year for gift cards...they were well received.
Wow Renee that poinsettia is gorgeous. I especially love how you made the leaves. And I think the stocking is darling.
That stocking is wonderful, and the poinsettia is unlike anything I've ever seen. Very striking!

I would also love to get the instructions for the poinsettia. I found one PDF, but find the last picture showing how to put it together very confusing.
