Spot Light Sunday-Daisy Thanks

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2017-2018  Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog that will be released on June 1st.  This card uses several new products from that catalog........So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
This pretty thank you card was one of those quick and easy cards you can make in no time flat ...... But still packs the PRETTY WOW FACTOR we are all looking for in our cards.
I began by stamping my the daisy from the new 'Daisy Delight' stamp set with Crushed Curry ink.
I trimmed the bottom portion of my Whisper White card with a small piece of the GORGEOUS NEW DSP 'Delightful Daisy'.  I am telling you ....... It's one of my favorite new Designer Series Paper in the upcoming catalog.  I also add some OH SO YUMMY Daffodil Delight 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon right above the Designer Series Paper.
My sentiment was stamped with the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set ...... And I used Basic Black ink to stamp that sentiment.
I also added a stamped Crushed Curry circle to the center of my daisy and topped it off with a thin layer of some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen'.  That gave my daisy just the perfect shine I was looking for.
And that's all it took to create this pretty thank you card.

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!

Paper Pumpkin Saturday-3-Flowers To You

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This card was made with the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock to create this card ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.
What a fun card this was to create.......
I began this card by using the stamp set that is included in the February kit and using Gold Embossing Powder to add some extra bling and shine to this card.
My three circles were punched out with the 1-3/8" circle punch.....
And I used the Petite Petal and Blossom Bunch Punch to create my layering flowers for this card.
I added a small Gold Glimmer circle to the center of each flower......
And I also used that same Gold Glimmer paper to add a thin line of bling to the edge of the DSP panel that my flower panel was adhered down to.

Tag Thursday Silver Dragonfly

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY THANK YOU TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.
I simply ADORE how this gift tag turned out.
I started out by die-cutting the largest dragonfly from the 'Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies' with Silver Foil Paper.
I stamped my sentiment with the 'Bookcase Builder' stamp set onto a vellum banner flag and used Silver Embossing Powder on that sentiment.
I used the 'Urban Underground Specialty Designer Series Paper' on my Whisper White tag and then added a top and bottom border of the 'Urban Underground Designer Washi Tape' to my tag.
I topped my tag off with some 1/4" Silver Natural Trim and tied it up into a pretty bow with some Silver Metallic Thread.
And a final touch was adding some Silver Metallic Thread behind my die-cut dragonfly......
And sprinkling a few Silver Sequin Trim pieces around the front of my tag.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share some Friends Friday creations with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Wine Down Wednesday Card

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........
I just couldn't be happier to hear that Stampin' UP! is carrying over the 'Window Box Thinlits Dies' from the Occasions Catalog into the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.
All it took to create this card was using the floral die-cut square from the 'Window Box Thinlits Dies' and die-cutting that image into the center of a Whisper White panel.
After the floral image was die-cut......I mounted it to a panel of Dapper Denim cardstock.
Then I wrapped some Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon around the left hand edge of my Whisper White panel and tied a pretty knot at the front of my card.
I used the 'Window Shopping' stamp set to stamp my sentiment onto a banner flag of Dapper Denim cardstock with VersaMark ink ....... and then sprinkled White Embossing Powder over the sentiment and then heat set the sentiment.
A few Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim pieces were added around the front of my card....
And my card was done in no time flat.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow with a Tag Thursday creation to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

3D Tuesday - Downline April Challenge

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 SUPER FUN to create and the product is featured in the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......
Each time my downine team gathers ....... I offer them a Downline Challenge packet.  For the month of April, I offered them the opportunity to create a fun little project (anything goes) with a small piece of Dapper Denim cardstock.  Here is what I shared with them as a sample of what they could make.
I created this tiny little box with a 4-1/4"  4-1/4" piece of Dapper Denim cardstock.
I used the Envelope Punch Board and Punched/Scored as follows:  1st Punch/Score at 1-1/2", 2nd Punch/Score at 2-7/8".  Then go around to the remaining 3-sides and line up the 2-score lines and punch and score at those lines.
Before I assembled my box, I stamped the four sides with a scallop trim image, 
I snipped the 4-corners to create tabs and adhered those tabs together to form my box.
All that was left to do was create a 'For You' banner flag and add some SAB ribbon around my box and I added some Silver Sequin Trim to the top.
The box may be small.......
But tucking chocolate inside makes a BIG statement.
 
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 Celebrate UPGRADE

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 2017 Occasions Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here is yesterday's Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT....
And today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT......
For today's upgrade ...... I went with a more BOLD & SASSY look.
I mounted my three 'Cupcake & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack' panels onto a panel of Early Espresso cardstock.  And that gave the DSP a real POP!
I also mounted my Celebrate sentiment from the 'Happy Celebrations' stamp set onto another panel of Early Espresso cardstock.
For a tiny bit of FUN ....... I not only added a 'Mini Paper Clip' to the top of my sentiment panel ..... But also sprinkled some of the sequins in the 'Cupcake & Carousels Embellishment Kit' to the front of my card.
Two AMAZING cards that will help fill all your card giving needs.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday - Celebrate

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Before I share with you my Spot Light Sunday card for this week.........I have to do a PROUD GRANDMA MOMENT.  My grandson Jared is a Senior at Deforest High School in Deforest, Wisconsin.  He took his girlfriend (who attends Waunakee High School) to her Junior Prom last night.  Here are some pictures that they had taken at Olbrich Gardens before the event.....
I'm just in LOVE LOVE LOVE with this picture. 
 
So moving into my share for today..........It's Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2017 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog..  This card uses several new products from that catalog .......So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
I'm totally in love with the softness and prettiness of this card.
I started out by cutting three panels of the 'Cupcake & Carousels Designer Series Paper Stack' and adding those panels to the front of my Very Vanilla base card.
Right below the three panels of DSP ..... I added some of the Calypso Coral 1/4" Ombre Ribbon that is included in the 'Cupcakes & Carousels Embellisment Kit'.......
And stamped my sentiment from the 'Happy Celebrations' set with Early Espresso Ink.
Such a pretty card that will fit just about any occasion you want to celebrate!

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!
