Paper Pumpkin Box of Tags

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a fun project to share with you!  This project was made with the June Paper Pumpkin kit.  I'm thrilled with the way this project turned out ....... And want to share that project with you now.
How's this for an extra special little gift.
Here's the measurements for the box creation.
This box of tags was created using one of the card bases that came with this kit.
And I loaded the box up with some simple gift tags.
The gift tags are 2" x 4" and use some washi tape across the bottom of each tag.
Each tag has a gold embossed 'thank you very much' sentiment stamped onto a circle and then topped off with some Tip Top Taupe Ribbon.
And one final touch was adding some Tip Top Taupe Ribbon around the box and I finished it off by adding a pretty knot to the front of my box of tags. 
 
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!

SO SAD that this cute card did not have a name on the back.
This is another DARLING card that did not have a name on it.
And my FAVORITE card also did not have a name on it.
And check out how AWESOME this card looked when it was opened up.

Tag Thursday Stocking Hanging

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 GIFT TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.
I'm just crazy about the way this tag turned out.
My stockings were die-cut from the 'Christmas Stocking Thinlits Dies'......
And my sentiment was stamped from the 'Seasonal Bells' set.
I used the 'Brick Wall' embossing folder on my Whisper White tag.  I added some Basic Black ink directly to one side of the 'Brick Wall' folder and that ink was transferred to the Whisper White tag when it ran through the Big Shot.
I topped my tag off with some Tip Top Taupe 5/8" Mini Striped Ribbon and tied a pretty bow with some Linen Thread.
A darling little tag that was the perfect addition for a Christmas gift for a very dear friend.

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

Wine Down Wednesday Candle 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........
Check out this pretty Christmas card that I made for my good friend Mary Fish.
I used the 'Forever Everygreen' set to stamp my sentiment with Real Red ink ...... And used my 'Simply Score' tool to create an embossed edge around the outer edge of my Whisper White panel.
My candles were created with the 'Candy Cane Lane' Designer Series Paper......
And a final touch was adding a pinecone arrangement to the bottom of my card.  To create this arrangement I used the ' Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies' and the 'Christmas Pines' stamp set.
 Just LOVE how this card turned out ...... And knew Mary would like it too!

3-D Tuesday Wine Bottle Tags

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  This project is SUPER FUN to create and the product is featured in the 2016 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......
How FANTASTIC would it be to hang this FUN and PRETTY gift tag from a bottle of wine you might be giving to someone special this New Year's Eve.
With ew Year's Eve fast approaching ......... How AMAZING would it be to bring this FESTIVE bottle of wine to the party.
 This wine bottle tag was made with the 'Cheerful Tags Framelits Dies'
And the center of the tag was stamped with the 'Here's to Cheers' set. 
 I used Sweet Sugarplum and Gold Foil to create this tag.
And added some of the yummy 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Glitter Ribbon to attach my tag.
 And my sentiment was stamped with the 'Here's to Cheers' set.
This is simply the PERFECT way to PRETTY UP a bottle of wine.  

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

Mix-It-UP! Monday Santa 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 both the 2016 Holiday Catalog and the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
 My Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT........
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT.....
For my card share today ....... I had fun using product from both the Holiday Catalog and the Annual Catalog.
I used the same stamp set (Crazy About You) to stamp my HELLO sentiment.
And I stamped my Santa with the Cookie Cutter Christmas set and colored him in with my Stampin' Write Markers.  I did add one extra layer of 'Layering Oval Framelits' to this upgraded card.
And instead of using the 'Candy Cane Lane' DSP to this card ..... I used the 'Candy Cane Lane Designer Washi Tape' to the bottom section of my Whisper White panel. 
And one final addition to this card was adding some 'Solid Basic Black Baker's Twine' around the center section of my layered Washi Tape.
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 project with you ..... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday MERRY CHRISTMAS

MERRY CHRISTMAS My Blogger Friends!
I would like to take a moment and wish all of my blog followers a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS and VERY HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASON.  Before I jump into my card share for today.......I want to share two really cute pictures of Twoie that my daughter Jenni sent to me yesterday morning.  I'm thinking the caption should read.....Is he Polish?  (And yes.....he is!)
This is Twoie out mowing the snow on Christmas Eve. 
Could this little guy be any more precious!
 
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2016 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  This card uses several new products from that catalog ...... So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
 This CLEAN and SIMPLE Santa card was a snap to make.
I added a panel of 'Candy Cane Lane' DSP to the bottom of my card.....
 And used the 'Crazy About You' stamp set to add my Hello sentiment.
My Santa was stamped using the 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' stamp set and layered onto two layer's of Oval Framelit pieces. 
I colored my Santa in with my Stampin' Write Markers and added a 'Mini Pompom Trim' piece to the top of my Santa hat.
Just love how clean and simple this card turned out.
 
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!

Paper Pumpkin - Awning Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This is one of my favorite cards made with the June Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock and a stamped image to create this card ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.
This special awning card just SCREAMS.......
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I stamped my birthday cupcake and layered it to two layer's of circles.
To pretty up my Happy Birthday sentiment, I added a tiny piece of 1/8" Melon Mambo Stitched Ribbon to the end.
My awning was created with the card that was included in the June kit....
And all I did was cut that card front down and added a couple score lines to give it an awning shape.
I added more of the Melon Mambo Stitched Ribbon to the top of my awning piece....
And added some Whisper White Mini Pompom Trim to the bottom of my awning piece.
 
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!
