And do I have a fun card to share with you!  This card was made with my March Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used a 1/2" and 1" circle punch to help create this fun and happy card for today.  I'm thrilled with the way this card turned out ........

I used the DSP in this Paper Pumpkin kit to create this perfect sentiment panel.....
And added some Bermuda Bay Baker's Twine at the bottom of my sentiment panel to finish it off.
My Whisper White base card had a 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White panel added to the top of that base card ......And I used the 'Large Polka Dot' embossing folder to pretty up that Whisper White panel.
My two different size circles were layered together to create a very happy look.

And speaking of Lynn ....... She is such a GIVER!
She made this ADORABLE card for me........

It was one of those MAGICAL MOMENTS when my mail lady came and delivered this package of sweetness to me.
And speaking of MAGICAL SWEET MOMENTS ......... Guess what my sweet Stamp Camp friend Debbie gave to my Monster?
She made this sweet little bag of treats for Monster.  The sweet surprises that were tucked inside made Monster stand up and take notice (and literally Monster stood on his hind legs to reach the mouse catnip treats) ........ And the DARLING gift tag she created just made me SQUEAL with HAPPY when I saw it.

Tag Thursday - Cup Cake

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag that will show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create a SUPER PRETTY BIRTHDAY TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.
This FUN little birthday tag uses SEVERAL products from the new 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! catalog.
I started out by stamping my birthday sentiment at the bottom of my 2" x 4-1/4" Tip Top Taupe tag with the 'Suite Sayings' set and Early Espresso ink.
Next I grabbed the new 'Sweet Cupcake' set and stamped my OH SO DARLING cupcake from this set.  It doesn't get much easier to get AN EXACT die-cut images cut-out ....... When you use the coordinating 'Cupcake Cutout' framelits.
I sprinkled the top of my Flirty Flamingo cupcake with Early Espresso circle punched pieces.......
And finished my tag off by wrapping some Linen Thread around the bottom portion of my tag and topping it off with a little piece of the new Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon.
And that's all it took to create this darling tag.  And let me tell you friends, this tag looked AMAZING attached to a FABULOUS gift for my girlfriend.

Mix-It-UP! Monday - Wish BIGGER

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 the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here is my Spot-Light Sunday card at the top......
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card at the bottom.....
To bring this card up to the next stamping level ....... I added a special touch to the butterflies and created a fun layer for my sentiment.
My sentiment was die-cut with Calypso Coral cardstock and mounted to a triple banner layer.
I also added one additional layer of circles from the new 'Layering Circles Framelits' collection........
And my butterflies were stamped with the 'Papillon Potpourri' set ........ and then clear embossing powder was sprinkled over the top to create some shiny pretty magic.
So there you have it friends ........
Two DARLING cards that come together in a SUPER JIFFY!

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 - WISH

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several new products from that catalog ...... So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
For this card I used two new Framelits sets.......
I started out by using Island Indigo cardstock to die-cut my 'wish' sentiment.  The sentiment is featured in the new 'Cupcake Cutouts' framelits collection ....... Which is a FANTASTIC set of framelits.
Then I grabbed my new 'Layering Circles' Framelits and die-cut two circle layers.  I used Pool Party and Island Indigo cardstock for the Scallop Circle pieces.
I topped each of those circles off with a 'Bitty Butterfly' punched image.....
And for a finishing touch I used my Island Indigo Stampin' Write Marker to add some trio dots around my Whisper White base card.
And there you have it friends ....... A pretty quick and easy card that just screams to be tested out using LOTS of OTHER Stampin' UP! colors.
 
Thanks for joining me today!  I am taking off with Jack this morning to head over to California to visit the boys .............. But I've already made plans to 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 Saturday - Thanks Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SUPER FUN card to share with you!  This card was made with my March Paper Pumpkin Kit.  I thought outside the box when I created this little nugget of cute-ness.........And I'm just thrilled with the way this card turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.
This card used up some of the DSP/Envelope Paper that was included in the March Paper Pumpkin kit.
I cut the paper down to make a banner flag for the front of my card......
And added an extra large layer of circles with a die-cut 'thanks' right in the middle.
Just love everything Bermuda Bay and this card just screams a HAPPY THANKS message all over it.
I think my favorite part to this card is the Linen Thread that I added to the very top of my card.
 
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!
