Love All You Do Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the alternate project I created using the May Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
 I made this sweet card with pieces left over from my May kit.
I started out by adding the mountain & tree stickers (that came with the kit) to the bottom of one of the cards that came with this kit.  All I needed to do was layering the stickers and press them into place.
 
Next I used the banner pieces that came with the kit and created this bold sentiment banner for the front of my card.  
The only thing I added to the banner piece was the Mossy Meadow stitched circle and the Real Red heart.
I added some Silver Metallic Thread behind the Mossy Meadow stitched circle and positioned my sentiment piece to the center of my base card.
Just crazy about the way this card and coordinating envelope turned out.  Will be giving this card to Jack this morning when he gets up.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday card with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Friends 4th of July Picks

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Friends Friday.  On Friday's, I have the honor of spot-lighting some of the fabulous cards and projects that I received from Friends ....... Fellow Demonstrators ........ and Family.  Today, I have several 4th of July projects that my sweet Scissors and the City girlfriends made for me.  Each of these fun 3-D creations are works of art........and it is with great pleasure that I share these projects with you today.
First up is this OVER THE TOP 4th of July centerpiece that my sweet friends Donna and Kathy made for me.  OH MY GOSH......The American Flag bucket is loaded with LOTS of YUMMY CHOCOLATE ...... And SUPER FUN 4th of July decorations.  This cute bucket of fun is sitting front and center on my kitchen counter........And I'm enjoying it every morning when I make my coffee!!!!
Donna & Kathy also presented me with these two YUMMY CHOCOLATE gifts of goodness.  Dare I admit that most of this is gone........And just for the record......Jack says THANK YOU!!!!!! 
This ADORABLE gift was made by my good friend Gus.  She wrapped up an apple and then centered it onto a dish of dipping caramel.  She then wrapped it up in this JUST TOO CUTE FOR WORDS packaging.  The Red-White-and Blue bells are now decorating my front door!
This DARLING little bucket of suckers and chocolate was created by Jennifer......Who is OH SO TALENTED!!  I have positioned this bucket on my office desk......And enjoy looking at during the day!
And Jennifer also packaged up this sweet bag of peppermint candies.......Which have managed to have a real dent put in them (again......Jack says Thank You!!!!).

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!

Wonderful Tag

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 TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let't jump right in with my tag share for today........
How special is this tag...... 
I started this tag out by stamping my sentiment with the 'Rooted in Nature' set and Cajun Craze ink. 
Next, I cut a 2-1/2" x 3" piece of the 'Natures Poem Designer Series Paper' and tore both the top and bottom of this DSP.   I used my Sponge Dauber and some Cajun Craze ink to distress up the edges of this DSP and then adhered it down onto my 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" Whisper White tag.
The cluster of embossed leafs were created with the help of the 'Nature's Roots Framelits' set.  I used Blackberry Bliss, Soft Suede and Shaded Spruce card stock to create my cluster of leafs.
After I adhered my 3-leafs down onto my Designer Series Paper ...... I wrapped some of the Crumb Cake 'Nature's Twine' around my tag and tied a pretty bow at the base of my clustered leafs.
 
All that was left to do was add some of the Crumb Cake 'Nature's Twine' to the top of my tag and I called this tag done in no time flat.
So my friends.......
That's all it took to create this pretty tag in a jiffy!

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!

Dragonfly 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........
This is one of those cards that you can make in a down & dirty minute.
You start out with a Mint Macaron base card ....... And add a layer of Tranquil Tide card stock and top that off with a panel of the 'Share What You Love Designer Series Paper'.
 
My sentiment was stamped from the 'Dragonfly Dreams' set with Tranquil Tide ink.  I used a piece of Mint Macaron card stock and then matted that to a piece of Tranquil Tide card stock.
The dragonfly image was die-cut using the 'Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits'.  I used both 'Silver Foil Sheets' and Tranquil Tide card stock for my dragonfly.
 
Some 'Silver Metallic Thread' was added to the back of the dragonfly for a soft and whimsy touch.
And there you have it friends ........ 
Can you even begin to image other color combinations????

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!

SW Stampers Door Prize

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends

My sentiment was created with the 'Special Celebration' set.  And I layered my sentiment with a Whisper White oval and Mossy Meadow 'Tailored Tag Punch'. pieces.
I used the SUPER YUMMY and SUPER SOFT 'Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon' to tie around my little treat bag and make into a pretty bow.........

Thinking of You 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 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT.....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today on the RIGHT.....
The biggest change I made to my upgraded card was changing up the layout of the Designer Series Paper and I created a cluster of leafs to the very top of this card.
I used the same 'Rooted in Nature' stamp set to create my sentiment circle.  I changed up the layering by using the 'Stitched Shapes Framelits' for my Tranquil Tide circle.  By using the stitched circle ..... that really added an additional layer of texture to this card.
I also created three pretty die-cut leaf images with the 'Nature's Roots Framelits'.  This framelits set comes with both dies to cut out the leaf shapes.....but also has dies that create embossing on the leafs and that just puts this set OVER THE TOP! 
I added a piece of Tranquil Tide card stock over the seam that joined the two Designer Series Paper together ....... And wrapped the 'Linen Thread' around that piece of Tranquil Tide card stock. I finished the card off by stringing some 'Gold Mini Sequin Trim' off the cluster of leafs.
 So there you have it friends.......
Do you have a favorite?????

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!

Thinking of You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from that catalog ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
This card layout is one of my FAVORITE GO TO layout. 
I started this card off by adhering two different patterns from the 'Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper' to the top and bottom sections of my card. 
I wrapped some 'Linen Thread' around the seam that joined the two Designer Series Paper together and tied it up into a pretty bow.
My sentiment was stamped with the help of the 'Rooted in Nature' set ...... And I used Tranquil Tide ink to stamp that sentiment.  
And that's all it took my friends to create this OH SO LOVELY looking 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!
