Thinking of You Gift

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the2021 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  These cards use several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
These cards were created with Melon Mambo and Basic White card stock.
For this project ...... I created 2-Melon Mambo cards......
And two Basic White versions.  Both versions were covered with a panel of the 'Fine Art Floral Designer Series Paper'.
For both versions ...... I used two sets to create the sentiment panel.  The flowers are stamped using the 'Back to Back Blooms' set.  And the sentiment is from the 'Rooted in Nature' set. 
I also decorated the four envelopes.......
Just couldn't be happier with the way these cards turned out.  
What do you think my friends????

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share my upgraded version of this card with you ...... And I think you will like the gift that I made to spot light these cards.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Pink LOVE

 Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the project I created using the January 'Sending Hearts' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
I started this card off with a White base ....... And added a layer of Petal Pink card stock to the front.
Before I adhered that piece down ..... I measured the exact location I was going to adhere down my "LOVE" panel piece and I scored 1/8" and 1/4" on the top and bottom away from that panel.  This gave me a pretty embossed edge to frame out my "LOVE" panel piece.
To create my "LOVE" panel piece ....... I adhered a panel of the 'Petal Pink Subtles Designer Series Paper' to a White panel......
And then wrapped some 'Blushing Bride Metallic Ribbon around the center of that panel and tied it up into a pretty knot.
My "LOVE" panel was created with the die-cut piece that came with the January kit,  And all I did was build a couple 'Layering Circle Die' pieces to pretty up that look.
And that's all it took my friends to create an alternate card from my January Paper Pumpkin kit.

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

Happy Birthday 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's jump right in with my tag share for today........
Can you even image this tag attached to a birthday present???
I certainly can ...... And did recently.
I started out with a White base tag ...... And added three panels of the 'True Love Designer Series Paper' across my tag.
I used the 'Oval Occasions' set to create my sentiment piece.  I used the 'Double Oval Punch' to crop out that sentiment and framed it with some Real Red cardstock.
For an added touch of FUN.......I added some black stitching lines around all three DSP panels ..... And that helped to outline and accent the front of my tag.
And my final touch to this tag was adding some 'Ice Cream Corner Sprinkles' around the front of tag ...... And this tag was called done.....In no time flat.
So what do you think friends......
You can create a whole set of these and
have all your birthdays covered in a flash.

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!

True Friend

 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 card starts out with a Mossy Meadow base.
I used the little cluster of butterfly stamp from the 'Garden Wishes' set and stamp that across the front of my base card ........ starting in the lower left hand corner and going across my card to the upper right hand corner.  I used Mossy Meadow ink to stamp that image.
Next, I cut one Bumblebee card stock panel that measured 3-3/4" x 2-3/4" and positioned that towards the lower right hand corner of my Mossy Meadow base card.
I cut three ''Dandy Garden Designer Series Paper' panels that measured 3/4" x 3-3/4" and adhered those over my Bumblebee card stock panel.  I spaced those over the Bumblebee card stock and lined up the right hand edge with my Mossy Meadow base card.
My sentiment piece is a White card stock panel that measure 2-1/2" x 3-1/2".  I stamped two dragonfly images (with Bumblebee ink) in the top left and bottom right corner ....... Then I stamped my sentiment (with Mossy Meadow ink) right in the center of that panel.
All that was left to do was stamp another large dragonfly image onto a piece of White card stock with Bumblebee ink and use the 'Dandy Wishes Dies' to crop that little guy out.  He was then added to the lower left hand corner of my sentiment panel.
And that's all it took to create this OH SO PRETTY card.

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!

Thankful Box

 Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is '3D TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created and want to share that project with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
  
This fun little box was created to be the PERFECT hostess gift giving idea.  I am often times needing a pretty little hostess gift ...... And this box COMPLETELY filled that need.  It's QUICK and it's EASY to create ...... and your hostess friend will LOVE you for bringing this FABULOUS gift to him or her.
And check out the BEAUTIFUL line-up of 4-coordinating note cards along with coordinating envelopes that are tucked inside this box.
Each card is a  4-1/4" x 11" White base card that is scored at 5-1/2".
I used the 'True Love Designer Series Paper' for each card.  I adhered a 4-1/4" x 2" panel across the center of my card ..... and then created two banner flag DSP panels.  Those banner flag panels measure 5" x 2" and 2" x 4".  All I did was snip a banner flag tail at the end of each of those DSP pieces.
And here are the other two card designs I created.
The top of each card is finished off with some 'Real Red 3/8" Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon' and tied into a pretty knot at the top......
And the sentiment I used for all four cards is from the 'Punch Party' set and framed out using the 'Double Oval Punch' set.
The box is created with a 7-1/2" x 10" piece of Basic Black cardstock.  On the 7-1/2" side you score at 1/2" on both sides.  On the 10" side you score at 1/2", 4-3/4", 5-1/4" and 9-1/2".  Create tabs for the center and flaps for the end pieces and you will have your little card box done in no time flat.

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

Happy Birthday 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 I added a couple additional products found in the 2021 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here's my Spot Light Sunday card on the TOP......
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM.....
For my upgraded card ...... I added a full panel of the Sale-a-Bration 'Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper' to the front of my White base card.
The White panel that I added to the center of my card was accented with the 'Stitched With Whimsy' die.  That created the perfect little frame for my sentiment and daisy flowers to sit in.
I added two little bows in the upper corners of that stitched out panel ...... And I used the 'Flowers For Every Season Trim' to create those two little bows.
I stamped my 'Sweet Ice Cream' sentiment with Night of Navy ink.....
And added three daisy flowers right below my stamped sentiment ...... Using the 'Medium Daisy Punch' and Night of Navy and Seaside Spray cardstock.
So there you have it friends.......
Which one is your 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!

Happy Birthday

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog and the 2021 Mini Catalog.  This card uses several products from both of those catalogs ......... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
How pretty is this card!!!!!
I started with a White base card and covered it with a panel of the Sale-a-Bration 'Paper Blooms Designer Series Paper'.
Next, I added a 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" White panel right into the center of that Designer Series Paper.  I stamped my sentiment with the 'Sweet Ice Cream' set.  I used Night of Navy ink to stamp that sentiment.  Then, before I adhered that panel down to my card ...... I wrapped 'Flowers for Every Season Trim' around the top and tied it into a pretty bow.
The final touch was punching three 'Medium Daisy Punch' for the front of my card.  I layered two daisy punched pieces for each daisy.  And I used Night of Navy and Seaside Spray cardstock to create those daisy pieces.
So there you have it friends.......
What do you think????

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!
