Tag Thursday-Thank You

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

How's this for a set of SUPER FUN and SUPER HAPPY tags!

This tag was made with a Whisper White tag base and uses the 'Work of Art' stamp set along with the 'Sassy Salutation' set.

I used Bermuda Bay ink to stamp my 'Work of Art' image.  I only inked this stamp up one time and then stamped it off a total of three times (without re-inking).  My 'Sassy Salutations' was stamped with Black ink.

I used the same stamp sets for this second tag......

And added two bitty hearts to my tag.

Both tags were topped off with some Bermuda Bay 1-1/4" Striped Grosgrain Ribbon and tied up into a pretty bow with some Whisper White Baker's Twine. 

Two different looks ....... Using the same two stamp sets for both tags!

 

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

Wine Down Wednesday-Just For You

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........

With Sale-a-Bration ending tomorrow ....... I made this special little 'Just For You' card to share with you.

This card uses the 'Botanicals For You' Sale-a-Bration set.  I stamped my sentiment with Watermelon Wonder ink onto Very Vanilla cardstock.

I used the 'Happy Heart' embossing folder to create some AMAZING texture on my Very Vanilla base panel.

A small panel of Watermelon Wonder and 'Going Places' DSP across the top of that cardstock added a fun element to the center of my card.  I wrapped some Venetian Crochet Trim around the DSP panel and topped it all off with a small piece of Watermelon Wonder 1" Stitched Satin Ribbon.

And one final touch was adding a Itty Bitty Accents Sweetheart Punch to the bottom corner of my sentiment panel.

Just crazy about the way this card turned out ....... And the joy of this card is it came together in a JIFFY!

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

You Send Me Soaring 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........

This pretty card was made with the Sale-a-Bration set 'Sky is the Limit'.

I stamped my sentiment with Rose Red ink and then punched it out with the 2" circle punch and matted it with a Rose Red layer.

I added three little Blushing Bride hearts under my stamped sentiment......

And added a 'Tea Lace Paper Doilies' behind my sentiment.

I used the 'Love Blossoms' Designer Series Paper Stack for the bottom section of my card front........

And for a little added "Something - Something", I wrapped some Whisper White Baker's Twine around my DSP and tied it all up into a pretty bow.

So there you have it friends.  A fast and easy card that is perfect for that someone special in your life.

3-D Tuesday - Tissue Box

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 a pretty QUICK and EASY project to create ........ and the nice part is that you can keep reusing it after it is empty.  Let me share that project with you now...... 

Check out this pretty box I created to cover your otherwise 'typical' facial tissues that you keep in your purse.

What I did was make the packaging PRETTY...........So it is not only functional in your purse, but is also very attractive too!  The magic is the Stampin' UP! Envelope Punch Board.

 

You will start with a 6-3/4" x 6-3/4" piece of Designer Series Paper.  

For Side #1: Punch/Score this side of your DSP at 1-7/8" and then slide your DSP over and punch/score at 3-3/8". 

Now you will turn your DSP 180 degrees and this will bring you to Side #3 of your DSP.  (Side #3 is the side directly across from Side #1).  Punch/Score Side #3 with the same measurements you did for Side #1.

Turn your DSP 90 degrees and this will take you to Side #4 of your DSP.  Line up this side of your DSP to the score lines you created on Sides #1 and #3 and punch and score on both of these lines.   

Turn your DSP 180 degrees and this will take you to Side #2 of your DSP. Line up this side of your DSP to the score lines you created on Sides #1 and #3 and punch and score on both of these lines. 

This is what your DSP will look like when you snip the four corners and create the little tabs to your Tissue Box.

To create the center hole for your holder......Use your smallest Oval Framelit and die-cut out the middle section of your holder.

Use a small piece of Whisper White cardstock and your two Oval Thinlit dies to create an oval frame for the top of your holder.

Attach the Whisper White oval frame you die-cut to the top of your holder.

I added a small piece of Velcro adhesive to the backside of my holder ..... So I could replace the holder when the tissues were all used up.  

A darling little project to make for yourself or give out to your friends during this cold and flu season.

 

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!

Final Easter Treats

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have one final Easter treat to share with you.  These are the Easter Treats I sent to my grandkids and my three kids back in Wisconsin.  This project was inspired by Erica Cerwin who is the Queen of fabulous 3-D Holiday creations.  I made a few alterations to my project.......But the project idea is a direct CASE from Erica.  Let me share these final Easter Treats with you......

Here are the five Easter Treat Holders I made for my grandkids.

The treat holder was made with the 'Mini Treat Bag Thinlits Die'. 

I created grass with my 'Fringe Scissors' and a some of Old Olive Cardstock.

And tucked inside each of the Easter Treat Holders for the grandkids was a yummy Hershey's Bunny AND a gift card to McDonalds. 

And of course I couldn't forget my grown kids.  So I made an Easter Treat Holder for each of them.

Each treat holder had a Kit Kat bar (all three kids LOVE Kit Kat's) and I also included a Starbuck's gift card because HANDS DOWN.......All three of my kids LOVE Starbucks (GO FIGURE!). 

So there you have it friends ........

Eight ADORABLE Easter Treats for eight of the GREATEST people in the world.

 

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!

Jack's Easter Basekt

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I want to share with you the fun little Easter Basket that I made especially for Jack.  I created this little basket with the help of my good friend and fellow Stampin' UP! demonstrator friend Lynn.  Let me jump right in with my share for today.

Here is what the Easter Bunny delivered to Jack this morning.

This Easter basket was made with a single sheet of 6x6 Designer Series Paper.

This is the Easter Basket pattern that Lynn shared on her blog last Monday. http://lynnslocker.blogspot.com/2016/03/stampin-up-stampin-up-easter-basket.html 

And this is what the above pattern of DSP looks like when you have it all cut, scored and ready to put together.

My basket was made with Cherry Cobbler Designer Series Paper........

 And I added a 1-3/4" Cherry Cobbler circle to attach my basket together.

I created a darling little tag for Jack's basket........

And I used the Friends and Flowers stamp set to create this darling little bunny tag.

 And what would an Easter Basket be without some of Jack's favorite chocolate!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you one last Easter Treat ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
