4th of July PinWheel

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a birthday kick-off to share with you.  My birthday is on the 4th of July and thought this would be a great way to begin my birthday week celebration.  I made this with my June Paper Pumpkin Kit........

The June Paper Pumpkin kit came with everything I needed to make 24-SUPER FUN Pinwheels!

I created these four pinwheels for a little 4th of July decorations for my studio.

The pinwheels were made up of some fun patriotic designer series paper.

And held together with a jumbo brad.......

And attached my pinwheels to some red/white straws.

I popped my pinwheels into a pretty glass vase.....that had red/white shredded filler paper added to it.  A coordinating bow was added around the vase and this project was DONE!

 

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

Work of Art Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have one last Work of Art card to share with you.  This is one of the first cards I made with this set........

I originally designed this card to be one of the cards I was going to take and swap at the SU Convention in July. 

 I used Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Rich Razzleberry and Tempting Turquoise Ink.

 I added some of the new Silver Metallic Baker's Twine around the bottom of my card.....

 And added some of the new Gold Sequin Trim pieces to my card.

 

 This has to be one of my favorite layouts to use for this new stamp set!
 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a fun 4th of July arrangements I made .............. Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Banner Thanks a Bunch Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today's card is one of those special little cards that is not only FUN to make......but is PERFECT in any color combination.  Let me share that card with you. 

I started out with a Pistahio Pudding base card and grabbed my new Confetti Celebration DSP and started creating some banners with that pack.

I selected three patterns and made banners in three different lengths.  I added a small heart to each of the banners.........and those hearts came from punching out the new Hearts Border Punch in three different colors.

I stamped my sentiment with the new "Occasions 4 You" stamp set.  I added three more of the punched out hearts to the banner section of that stamped sentiment.

I added some Tangelo Twist 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and added a small Pistachio Pudding topper piece to the top of my card.........That I cut out from the Small Scallop Rotary Blade for my Stampin' Trimmer.

I think this would make a great birthday card.....and will be making more of these cards throughout the year.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another card I created using the new Work of Art set ............ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Let's Celebrate My Friend Card

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today's card using several new products from the new 2014-2015 Stampin' UP! catalog........Let's jump right in with today's card. 

 Here's the card I made using Night of Navy and Lost Lagoon cardstock.

 I started out with the Large Polka Dot embossing folder on my Night of Navy panel.

 I then stamped my "Let's celebrate" sentiment from the Sumthin' Sumthin' stamp set.  I created a darling little banner flag with the help of my Banner Framelit dies.

 My three banner flags were from the Flower Pot DSP pack.......

And I punched out some 1/2" Lost Lagoon circles and added them inside some of the circles that were embossed on Night of Navy panel.

 I added some Night of Navy Seam Binding around my 'Let's celebrate' banner and topped it off with a Night of Navy Candy Dot.

  

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

Hexagon Thank You Card

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My card share for today is from the new stamp set "Hey You".  Check out this fun hexagon card I made......

 I stamped the "thank you" from the Hey You stamp set in Night of Navy and used several layers of circle punches and framed my sentiment with the Deco Label Framelit Die.

 My hexagon shapes were punched out in the Maritime DSP......

And I used the star punch from the itty bitty accent punch pack to dress up each of my punched out hexagon shapes.

 I also used a small Rhinestone for the center of each of my stars.

One final touch to this card was using my Big Shot and the Hexagon Embossing folder to add texture to my Night of Navy panel.  PERFECT little touch.

 

 

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

BeThe Star Card

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

 My card share today was one of the first new stamp sets that I bought with my first new catalog order.  I used the "Be the Star" stamp set to create this fun little card.

 I stamped my stars in Real Red, Pool Party and Crush Curry.

My sentiment was stamped in Real Red ink and then punched out with the 1" circle punch and layered onto a Real Red 1-1/4" scallop circle punch.

I also used the new Beach House Washi Tap to create a fun little border for the bottom portion of my Whisper White panel. 

 It was super each to create this border to the bottom of my Whisper White panel......and by popping it up onto my card.....I created all kinds of dimension to the front panel of my card.

I also used the Tiny Triangles embossing folder on my Real Red panel. 

The last touch I added to my card was two In-Color star sequins......and that was all I needed to do before sending this card out to a little some special.  

 

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

Hooray For You Card

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a "OH SO PRETTY" card to share with you.  It uses the "Garden Party" stamp set......and I bought this set because of this particular flower stamp within the set.  Check this card out..... 

 When I saw this stamp flower stamp in the "Garden Party" stamp set......I knew I would just have to buy this set.

I used Pool Party ink and embossing powder.......along with Island Indigo ink and clear embossing powder on my four flowers.

After stamping two of each....I fussy cut out the flowers and mounted them onto a layer of coordinating cardstock.

And a final touch was to add a pearl to the center of each flower.

I stamped my sentiment in Islad Indigo and then punched it out with the Large Oval Punch and matted it to an Island Indigo Scallop Oval Punch.

And my final addition to this card was adding a Regals DSP panel to the bottom portion of my card.

I'm going to make a bunch of these cards up and have them on hand for when I need some much needed thank-you cards.  I can always add the thank-you sentiment when I'm ready to send out a special thank-you card.

 

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

BLACK BELT

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a special blog dedication to my youngest granddaughter Brooke (aka-Doll Baby).  Here she is in all her glory.......

 

Brook has been working hard this past year to earn her black belt and this past weekend ....... She earned her FIRST BLACK BELT!  I'm soooo proud of her ....... I just had to make her a Karate Girl card with a black belt.  Here's what I sent her......

 

I have been sending Brooke this very stamped image and have colored in the belt with each new color she earned.  Here's the BIG ONE!  Her black belt!

 

I colored her Karate Girl outfit in with two tones of red.....and this little Karate Girl got the biggie color.......BLACK!

I used the new Stampin' UP! Bravo set......and stamped the "WOW" on the front of the card.......

And on the inside....I stamped the "con-grat-you-la-tions" sentiment.

I also added a pretty little Ulta Gift Card to the inside of her card.  Figured after she was done doing all her fancy karate moves......she could go do some pamper moves at the Ulta Store.

 

Thanks for joining me today.  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another new product share card ....... hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

For You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a lovely little card that was made with the new "Tag Talk" stamp set.  Check out this great "for you" card........

 My Tag Talk set was stamped in Real Red ink and punched out using the Label Bracket punch.

I'm crazy about the new Itty Bitty Punch Accents punch pack and used it at the bottom right hand corner of my card.

Here's a close-up of my stamped "for you".  After punching it out with the Label Bracket punch.....I matted it to a 2-3/8" Real Red Scallop Circle Punch.

I used the new ZigZag embossing folder for my Pool Party matted panel...... 

And added two banner flags from the Flashback DSP pack. 

This is such a versatile card......I'm sure that I will find a dozen more sentiments to add to this 2-3/8" Scallop Circle punched piece.

  

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