Welcome to the Control Freaks December 2017. We are thrilled to have you join us on the 20th of each month. Our tour features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from my friend, Kelly Acheson's blog.
Our theme for this month is: New Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions Products
I selected the coming soon – Sweet Soiree Suite!
Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit Mini Gable Box
When I received these Silver Mini Gable Boxes, I was thinking, "Maybe the inside is white?" Guess what?…they are! Just gently pull apart one edge and turn it inside out (use tear & tape to re-adhere)! Though the silver is very nice, the white gives you more options.

So clever to turn the box inside-out and your card is so pretty!
Clever girl to turn the box inside out! I absolutely love your card! It popped out on the Display Board at On Stage and I just knew it was yours!
Dawn, these are simply GORGEOUS! So clever to turn the box inside out – now I think I will get them after all. I can’t wait to get my hands on this Suite. Have to wait till next month.
Thanks Debbie!
Thanks Julie! That’s another one of my favorite layouts.
Thanks Cindy!
Dawn, you’re gable box is just beautiful!!! Clever girl to turn it inside out! Lovely card as well. Made me think of spring.
Thank you Sherry!
As always, love the style of your projects, Dawn! And turning the box inside out is ingenious! That now makes them much more desirable to me. Thanks for all the great tips and samples you so willingly share. May you and yours have a wonderful Christmas!
You’re welcome Deb! Merry Christmas to you too!
Do the framelets from the sweet cake set match up to the cakes in the sweet soiree dsp?
Barbara
Barbara, that’s a good question. They do not match the DSP. The cakes on the Sweet Soiree DSP are smaller.
