Freaky Friday - Spooky House

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Freaky Friday.  For the month of September........I am going to take a break from posting my normal Friends Friday posts and spot light some freaky Halloween cards I've been making.  Each of these cards will use some of the AMAZING PRODUCT that is featured in the new 2016 Holiday Catalog.  Now that you have the details for Freaky Friday.......Let's jump right in with my first Freaky Friday card share.........
I'm totally in love with the 'Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape'  and created this card in a super jiffy with the help of that washi tape.
My sentiment was stamped from the 'Mr. Funny Bones' set and Black Archival ink.
And my spooky house was stamped from the 'Halloween Scares' set.
I used several of the 'Layering Ovals Framelits' to frame out my spooky house.
And that's all it took to bring this card together.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a special Paper Pumpkin Saturday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Wine Down Wednesday - Happy Birthday

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with some motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........
How's this for a QUICK and EASY birthday card!
I started my card by stamping the Happy Birthday sentiment in Cajun Craze with the new 'Sunshine Sayings' stamp set.  I stamped this in the lower left hand corner of my Whisper White panel.
Next I grabbed the pretty flower die from the 'Sunshine Wishes Thinlits' and die-cut out a Cajun Craze flower.  I attached that flower to my Whisper White sentiment panel.
I added a panel of 'Moroccan  Designer Series Paper' across another panel of Whisper White cardstock that I layered right below my flower panel........
And all that was left to do was add a few Gold Sequins around my flower panel and I called this card DONE in no time flat.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Tag Thursday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop by and let me share that project with you.  Keep Living Your Dream!

3D Tuesday - Gift Box Folio

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  This project is the PERFECT GIFT to make for that someone special on your gift giving list.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.
My good friend Lynn from Michigan shared a UTube video with me on how to make this fabulous gift box folio and I just knew the minute I saw this fabulous gift box that I wanted to make one.  My original post this morning I couldn't find the video that shared how to create this project........But after checking my saved files.....I found it.  (This project was originally done by Crafty Caroline:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYzu8jobYmc ) 
I was wanting to create a package of cards and tags for my friend and this was the perfect packaging idea for me to do that.
It was the PERFECT project for someone very special in my life and it came together quickly and was a real WOW FACTOR kind of gift.
When you open the package up ....... There is room for two cards......two tags.....and two little 3x3 note cards tucked inside.
The box is secured closed with some Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon......
And here is a sample of what all I tucked inside my folio.
This made the perfect way for me to say 'thank you' to someone very special in my life!
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Wine Down Wednesday card creation with you ....... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Mix-It-UP! Monday - Upgraded Enjoy

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Mix It UP! Monday and I have an upgraded version of the card I shared with you yesterday.  I used the exact same product that was used to create yesterday's card ....... but added a couple additional products (found in the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
So here is my Spot-Light Sunday card on the left......
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the right.......
For today's card I added some Basic Black Baker's Twine and one additional circle layer and that's all it took to kick this up to the next stamping level.
I stamped the same Peekaboo Peach splatter marks all over my Whisper White base card......
And for my sentiment ...... I added one additional Peekaboo Peach Scallop Circle layer to really make my sentiment POP!
The topper for this upgraded card was adding some Solid Basic Black Baker's Twine around my DSP panel and that was all I needed to do to upgrade my card for today.
So there you have it friends......
Two versions of a totally fun card......
Do you have a favorite version of this card?

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday project with you ..... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday - Enjoy Your Day

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several new products from that catalog ...... So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
This card uses some new In-Color DSP and ink........Along with a fun and snappy 'Badges and Banner' stamp set.
I began this card by using the 'Painter Palette' stamp set to create some fun splatter all over my Whisper White base card using Peekaboo Peach ink.
Next I stamped my 'Badges and Banners' sentiment onto a Whisper White cardstock piece using the new Flirty Flamingo ink.  It was a snap cutting out my stamped badge with the help of the new 'Best Badge' punch.  I stacked my stamped sentiment badge onto two layers of circles and adhered all these pieces together.
I added a panel of 'Playful Palette Designer Series Paper Stack' across the center of my card and this card was done ....... In no time flat!
So there you have it friends ...... A quick and easy card that looks great in any color combination!
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share an upgraded version of this very card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

And a final touch was adding a single red shiny heart to my mummy!
 So there you have it friends ...... A quick and easy Halloween card for you!
