Paper Pumpkin Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a pretty card to share with you!  This card was made with my August Paper Pumpkin kit.  I created this card with minimal Stampin' UP! supplies and want to share that card with you now...... 

Check out this pretty pink card I created.

I added a layer of Gold and Black cardstock under the DSP panel and added some 1/8" Gold Taffeta Ribbon around the bottom of this panel.

My 'hello' was stamped with Black Archival ink and then I die-cut the sentiment out with the 'Deco Labels Framelits Collection'.  All that was left to do was mount my sentiment to a Basic Black layer that was cut with the 'Lots of Labels Framelits Collection'.

Of course my card just wouldn't be complete without some black stitching around the DSP panel ....... And this card was DONE in no time flat.

 

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!

Tag Thursday - Saddle-UP! Style

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 FUN HOLIDAY TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

This is the 'Welcome' tag I made for my Saddle-UP! event last weekend.  Each guest received one of these tags in their registration packets.

I used the 'Snow Place' stamp set and 'Snow Friends' Framelits Dies to create my snowman.  And then I stamped some VersaMark snowflakes from this same set onto my Soft Sky tag.  The final touch was adding some Dazzling Details over the snowflakes.

I added some Cherry Cobbler 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon to the top of my tag ....... And this little cutie was done!

Wine Down Wednesday Happy Holidays

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........

There are certain Stampin' UP! sets that even though they are retired ........ I pull them out during the Holiday Season.  This 'Happy Holidays' set is one of them.

All I did was use my Stampin' Write Markers to color in the HAPPY portion of this stamped image.

I did emboss my Whisper White panel with the 'Lucky Stars' embossing folder.  And I also added a large Silver Glimmer star to the front of this card.

The DSP that I used for this holiday card was from the 'Merry Moments' collection.

 

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

Mix-It-UP! Monday Triple Tree

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 an extra product from the 2015 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.........to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my card share for today.

Instead of using the 'Peaceful Pines' stamp set for my trees ......... I used the 'Merry Moments' DSP and the Tree Punch to create my three holiday trees.

I created my snow in the exact same way as yesterday's card.......

And used the 'Among the Branches' stamp set ..... Along with some Silver Embossing Powder to create my sentiment.  I punched my sentiment out with the 2" circle punch.

LOVE how this card turned out ....... And will be making more of this card this holiday season.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a 3-D Tuesday project ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday - Triple Tree

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Well my Saddle-UP! Event was a HUGE SUCCESS yesterday.  All the ladies came together from 9:00am until 3:00pm and created 16-Holiday Projects.  They just couldn't have been happier with all the projects we made.  Let me share some pictures of this fun event with you now......

Here's the ladies as they are passing out their card swaps.....

And as they finish up the card swap and headed back inside to start working on their projects.

Here's some of the ladies as they are getting set up for the day.....

And more ladies as they work at getting their tables set-up....

 

Then it was all heads down as they began working on their 16-projects.

 

Now let's jump into my Spotlight Sunday card for today.  This wonderful holiday card came together with the help of some new  product found in the 2015 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.

Here's the holiday card I created.....

I used the new 'Peaceful Pines' stamp set and coordinating Framelits Dies to create my trio of holiday trees.

I created two layers of snow with the help of some Whisper White cardstock and Soft Sky ink.

The perfect touch for this card was using the 'Embellished Ornaments' stamp set with some Silver Embossing Powder.  The embossing powder gave my sentiment a sophisticated and classy look.  Just the perfect addition to this fun holiday card. 

So there you have it friends.  A great holiday card - that requires minimal work ....... And packs a real punch of holiday fun.  Hope you will consider making a few of these this holiday season and make someone smile when they receive your 2015 holiday card.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Mix-It-UP! Monday card creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Paper Pumpkin Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
It's my BIG EVENT DAY......
Saddle-UP! Into The Holidays!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a fun card to share with you!  This card was made with the August Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used the product that came in the kit ....... And added two small pieces of Pink Pirouette and Basic Black cardstock to complete this card.  I'm thrilled with the way this card turned out ........ And want to share that card with you now.

I simply love how elegant this card turned out.

The gold DSP that I adhered to the bottom of my base card PACKS a WHOLE LOT OF PUNCH for the front of my card.

I used a small square of Basic Black cardstock and stamped my 'For you' sentiment onto this black square with some VersaMark and then sprinkled 'Gold Embossing Powder' over the sentiment and heat set it with my embossing gun.

I did some double matting for my sentiment and used some dimensional adhesive to pop the whole sentiment onto the front of my card.

GORGEOUS CARD ......... And would look FABULOUS with any sentiment stamped on my Basic Black square piece of cardstock.

 

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

Here's my girls as they arrived Tuesday night.

And this is all of us as we were getting ready to head out for Starbucks on Wednesday morning.

A FABULOUS SUPRISE was Hailey giving us this private performance of what she is learning in ballet this year.

And finally ...... this is Hailey IN OUR POOL!

(Temp is only 70 degrees)

 

My blog post for today is Friends Friday.  Today I have the honor of spot-lighting a fellow demonstrator AND SERIOUSLY GOOD FRIEND.  My friend Lynn is OH SO TALENTED and she also is the QUEEN OF 3-D PROJECTS.  Check out these two amazing projects she sent me...... 

First up is the awesome 3-D gift she made for me (and one for Jack).

She used the 'Mini Treat Bag Thinlits' to create this SUPER AWESOME Halloween Spider.

And she also created this FABULOUS and DROP DEAD GORGEOUS thank you card for me.

There is just so much detail to this card ........ It will be remaining front and center on my desk for a VERY LONG LONG TIME!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  Tomorrow I have a Paper Pumpkin card to share with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Holiday Tag Thursday

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
2-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

Had a recovery day yesterday......Here is a pic of Hailey and me shopping!
 

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 FUN HOLIDAY TAG.  Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

This fun little gift tag is SO EASY to make and you will be surprised at what the holder is for this tag. 

The holder is a little 3x3 envelope that has been sealed and a small amount cut off the top to create a fun pocket for my tag to slide into.

I used the new stamp set "A Little Something" to create my sentiment for this holder.

My snowman stamp is from the "Sparkly Seasons" set ...... And I added two layers of Whisper White cardstock to my tag for snow.  I also grabbed my Archival Black ink and stamped my sentiment with the "Sparkly Seasons" stamp set and did this right onto the Whisper White snow I created.

I'm just NUTS over how this tag turned out.  I think what I will do is adhere some cash to the backside of my tag.......And use it as a gift card holder.  

 

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