Just For You 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 with you.   This project was SUPER FUN to create, and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

This box was created to hold the 'Baker's Twine Pack' in the new Mini Catalog.  To create the base I used at 5" x 6-1/2" piece of Pool Party cardstock.  I scored that piece at 1" on all four sides.

For the top portion of my box ..... I used a piece of White cardstock and that was scored at 4-1/16" x 5-1/2".  I used the 'Hand-Drawn Dots Big Stamp' to get the fun polka-dot pattern onto that piece.

I used the 'Tailor Made Tags' Dies for my tag  ..... And the 'Celebrating You' stamp set for my sentiment.

I wrapped some 'Pool Party Grosgrain Ribbon' that was colored with my Bermuda Bay Stampin' Blends around the top of my box and tied it up into a pretty bow.

When the ribbon is slipped off ......

You receive the REAL FUN ..... A package of YUMMY Baker's Twine on the inside.

So ..... There you have it friends.....

Don't you just LOVE IT!!!

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 changed things up to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP...

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM....

For my upgraded card I kept the White base card (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4") but I added three additional layers to the front of my upgraded card.

I added a Calypso Coral panel (4" x 5-1/4") and a Granny Apple Green panel (3-3/4" x 5") and topped it all off with a White panel (3-1/2" x 4-3/4").

I used that White panel to build my 'Butterfly Kisses' Designer Series Paper' onto.  Each DSP panel is 2-1/8" x 1-1/2" and each one is folded over at one corner to create a flap opening in the center of my card.

Here is a close-up of how each DSP was folded.  I measured down 1" on the two sides of each DSP panel ...... and used that as my guide to create the flap on each DSP panel.

The flap opening allowed me to add a layered 'Brilliant Wings Dies' piece right in the center.

Here's a close-up of the BEAUTIFUL butterfly I added to the center of my card.

My sentiment was stamped onto a banner flag from the 'Something Fancy Dies' and I used the 'Timeless Tulips' stamp set to create that sentiment.

So, what do you think my friends....

Do you have a favorite???

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

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2023 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  This card uses 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..........

I started my card off with a White base that measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" and is scored at 4-1/4".  

I added a 4" x 5-1/4" panel of Calyso Coral cardstock to the top of that base card....

And then I added a panel of Granny Apple Green (2-1/2" x 5") and a panel of the 'Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper' (2-1/4" x 5") to the top of that.

Before I adhered that panel down to the top of my card .... I wrapped some 'White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding' that was colored with my Calypso Coral Stampin Blends.

My sentiment is from the 'Timeless Tulips' set and that was stamped onto a panel of White cardstock and I used Calypso Coral ink.

I cropped out three butterflies from the 'Brilliant Wings Dies' and I used the 'Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper' for each of those.

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!

Easter Carrot Chocolate Treat Holder

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have another Saturday Sweet Treat packaging idea to share with you.  This project is a SUPER YUMMY, sweet treat packaging.  Let me jump right in with my share.

My project for today was my version of the holder I spotted on either Pinterest or UTube.  I know the original was shared by Elvira Hortne (???) but I can't seem to locate a link.  I will do my best to duplicate the steps for this DARLING treat holder.

I started with a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock that measured 5-1/2" x 8-1/4".  I scored with the 5-1/2" side at the top at 3/4" on both ends.  Then I scored on the 8-1/2" side at 2-1/4", 3", 5-1/4" and 6".

I added a White cardstock panel to the top flap of my holder .... And that measured 3-7/8" x 2-18".

My sentiment piece uses the 'Easter Bunny' stamp set and that is layered onto several pieces cropped out from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.

I used the 'Brilliant Wings Dies' to crop out the ticket opening on the top flap.....

And that allowed an opening for my butterfly to assist in opening this box.

Once you pinch together the butterfly wings .... I allows you to slip open your treat holder.  Once that is opened .... It reveals a 'Stylish Shapes Dies' window. 

I tucked four YUMMY chocolate carrot treats inside and they fit PERFECTLY inside.

Here is a template of how my 5-1/2" x 8-1/4" piece of Pumpkin Pie looks when I got all the cutting done.

And there you have it friends.  It's one of those treat holders that is a tad bit fussy to get together.  But once you create a template.....you will be cranking these little cuties out in SUPER FAST MOTION.

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

Nothing Fancy

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Fun Fold Friday and that means I have a special little Fun Fold Card to share with you. Let's kick off this Fun Fold Friday share right now.........

My Fun Fold card for today is this "Split Center" card.  I started off with a piece of White cardstock that measured 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  It is scored on both ends at 2-1/8".

Next, I added two panels of Balmy Blue cardstock that were both 5-1/4" x 1-7/8" and topped both of those panels off with a 'Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper' that were each 5" x 1-5/8".

My sentiment piece was created with a 'Something Fancy Die' piece and I used the 'Something Fancy' set to stamp my sentiment.

To open this card ...... You lift up the top flap and that begins the REVEAL!!!!

This is what the card looks like when you open both front flaps.

I decorated the inside with a panel of Balmy Blue cardstock ...... And more of the 'Fitting Florets Designer Series Paper'.  I used the 'Around The Bend Dies' to embellish my card with those YUMMY Petall Pink Flowers on both the inside and front of my card.

Just doesn't get any EASIER.

Hope you have fun making this card!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to sharing a special new Sweet Treat Saturday release with you ........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

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........

Talk about a QUICK & EASY kind of tag.....

This tag has it ALL.

I started off with a White base tag that is 2-1/2" x 4-1/4".

Next, I cropped out two pieces of the 'Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper.  Those pieces each measured 2-1/2" x 2".  I layered each piece with a tip of the DDP meeting in the center .... And then I cropped off the ends that were hanging off the sides.

Next, I got busy and created my sentiment piece.  That was created with the help of both the 'Layering Circles Dies' and the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Happy Labels' set and I used Evening Evergreen ink to stamp that senitment.  Before I adhered that piece down to my tag ..... I added some 'Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon' behind it and secured it with some Stampin' Dimensionals.  The finishing touch for my sentiment piece was adding two 'Solid Faceted Gems' that were colored with my Stampin' Blends.

The last thing I did was add some Garden Green 'Three Twine Combo Pack' Baker's Twine to the top of my tag ...... And called this tag DONE!!!

So ...... There you have it friends......

Don't you just LOVE IT!!!!!

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

Beauty in Everything

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'll start off by saying ..... I'm not a real "Green Lover".  HOWEVER ..... This card just helped change my mind on that statement.

I started this card off with an Evening Evergreen base card.  I used the 'Lovely In Linen Designer Series Paper' and added a panel of that DSP to the top of my card.

Next, I got busy and created two coordinating panel of that same DSP.  Those panels measure 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" and 1-1/4" x 4".

Before I adhered both of those DSP panels down .... I wrapped some 'Soft Succulent 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon' around the larger panel and tied it off into a pretty knot.

My sentiment is from the 'Simply Fabulous' stamp set ..... And I created a triple square layering for that piece.

And the finishing touch was adding three 'Adhesive-Backed Milky Dots to my sentiment piece.  Those three dots were colored with my Evening Evergreen Stampin' Blends.

And this card was called DONE!!!!

What do you think my friends.

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!
