Looking Back Day 6

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 6 of my week-long "LOOKING BACK & CREATIVITY DELIVERED 2017".  I created this Thank You card using product from the 2017 'Creativity Delivered Holiday Catalog' and the 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

I'm just crazy about how pretty this card turned out.

I began this card by adhering a panel of 'Quilted Christmas Designer Series Paper' to a Whisper White and Garden Green card.

Next, I layered a 'Delicate White Doillies' along with a silver 'Foil Snowflake' to the front of my card.

All that was left to do was stamp my sentiment from the 'Bunch of Blossoms' stamp set onto a Whisper White circle ......... And then adhere that stamped sentiment onto a layer of Real Red and Garden Green circles.  The final touch as adding one of the 'Stitched Felt Embellishments' above the stamped sentiment ...... And this card was called done!



Another great Christmas thank you card that I will be sending out to someone very special to say Thank You for the Christmas gift they gave me this year.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share Day 7 of my Christmas Thank You cards with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 5 of my week-long "LOOKING BACK & CREATIVITY DELIVERED 2017".  Today I have a card that looks back at product from the 2017 'Creativity Delivered Holiday Catalog' and the 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

This is one of the quickest and easiest Thank You cards I made.

I started this card out by using the 'Christmas Around the World' Designer Series Paper to cover my Pool Party and Whisper White card.

Next, I adhered a piece of the 7/8" Striped Ribbon around the right hand side of my card.

And all that was left to do was stamp a thank you sentiment from the 'One Big Meeting' set and layer it with the 'Layering Circle Framelits'.  This is another great Christmas thank you card that I will be sending out to someone very special to say Thank You for the Christmas gift they gave me this year.

Looking Back Day 4

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 4 of my week-long "LOOKING BACK & CREATIVITY DELIVERED 2017".  Today, I will be looking back at both the 2017 'Creativity Delivered Holiday Catalog' and the 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog and sharing with you another of my Christmas Thank You cards.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

This card was actually inspired by one of the holiday cards I sent out to family and friends this year.

I started out by using my Big Shot and the 'Pinewood Planks Embossing Folder' to create some amazing texture on my Crumb Cake panel.

Next I used the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set for my sentiment.  I created a Whisper White banner flag and then used VersaMark ink to stamp my sentiment.  I sprinkled it with 'Gold Embossing Powder' and then set it with my heat tool.

The two pine cones were from the 'Christmas Pines' set and I also used VersaMark and Gold Embossing Powder to give my pine cones a real POP!!!!

I used my Paper Snips and created a banner flag on the right hand edge of my embossed Whisper White banner piece.......

And finished this card off with a pretty wrapped bow made with 1/8" Gold Ribbon.

 

Another great Christmas thank you card that I will be sending out to someone very special to say Thank You for the Christmas gift they gave me this year.

Looking Back Day 1

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends

Today I kick off Day 1 of my week-long "LOOKING BACK & CREATIVITY DELIVERED 2017".  Over the next 7-days ....... I will look back at the 2017 'Creativity Delivered Holiday Catalog' and share with you my Christmas Thank You cards.  Each of these card creations have product that can found in the 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog as well as the 2017 Creativity Delivered Holiday Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

My first thank you card uses the 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' and the 'Rose Wonder' stamp set ......... both found in the 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.

I started this card out by running my Soft Sky cardstock panel through my Big Shot using the 'Softly Falling Embossing Folder'.

Next I cut a piece of the 'Merry Music Specialty Designer Series Paper' that is featured in the 'Creativity Delivered' Holiday Catalog and I created a banner flag piece with that Designer Series Paper.

I stamped my darling little Santa image from the 'Cookie Cutter Christmas' set and used the 'Cookie Cutter Builder' punch to crop out that little Santa.  All it took was mounting the punched out Santa onto a layer of Scallop Layering Ovals and adhering it to the Designer Series Paper banner.

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Rose Wonder' stamp set onto a Whisper White Scallop Oval ........ And then I layered that piece onto a Real Red Scallop Oval.

The final touch for this Christmas Thank You card was adding some Basic Black Bakers Twine to the top of my Soft Sky embossed layer and mounting that panel to a Real Red base card.

A perfect Christmas thank you card that I will be sending out to someone very special to say Thank You for the Christmas gift they gave me this year.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share Day 2 of my Christmas Thank You cards with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 32/32 Christmas Extravaganza

Merry Christmas My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 32 of my 32 days of Christmas Extravaganza projects.  This final project was created using product from the Stampin' UP! 2017 Holiday Catalog and the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  I just have to admit......... I think I saved the VERY BEST PROJECT for last.  Let me share this project with you now........

How FUN is this PRETTY stack of packages????

I spotted this beautiful stacking box creation over at a fellow Stampin' UP! Demonstrators blog (Sam Donald) and she created this project using the Stampin' UP! Envelope Punch Board.  Sam also shared a video on how to create these darling little boxes ....... Which made the project even easier to create.  Here is a link to Sam's blog posting: http://pootles.co.uk/2017/10/06/pootles-advent-countdown-2017-5-year-of-cheer-ladder-stack/

These are the measurements for each of the boxes:

2″ wide box – 7-1/4″ paper, punch and score at 1-7/8 and 4-5/8″
3″ wide box – 8″ paper, punch and score at 2-1/2 and 5-3/8″
4″ wide box – 8-5/8″ paper, punch and score at 3-1/4 and 6-1/8″
5″ wide box – 9-3/8″ paper, punch and score at 4 and 6-3/4″
6″ wide box – 10″ paper, punch and score at 4-5/8 and 7-1/2″

I used the 'Merry Little Christmas Designer Series Paper' to create each of my boxes......

And I topped my stack of boxes off with the GORGEOUS 7/8" Striped Ribbon.....And dangled three 'Mini Ornaments' from the top of my boxes.

Just crazy about the way this project turned out ........

And I leave you today wishing you a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to kick-off my "LOOKING BACK & CREATIVITY DELIVERED 2017" week with you ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Day 31/32 Christmas Extravaganza Tis The Season Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 31 of my 32 days of Christmas Extravaganza projects.  This card was created using product from the Stampin' UP! 2017 Holiday Catalog and the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  This card is a CASE from my dear friend Mary Fish ........ Who shared on her blog how to create this over the top STUNNING & GORGEOUS holiday card.  The minute I saw what Mary had created ...... I knew I would be creating one for myself.  Let me share the card I created with you now...........

This card just goes OVER THE TOP in the STUNNING AND DROP DEAD GORGEOUS category.

I started out by stamping my "Tis The Season" sentiment from the 'Christmas Pine' set using VersaMark ink and Gold Embossing Powder.

Next, I added some 'Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' above my sentiment and tied it off into a pretty knot on the left hand edge of that Whisper White panel.

To create the wreath ....... I used Silver, Copper and Gold Foil Paper along with Silver Glimmer Paper and punched out several 'Leaf Punch' images and adhered them down into a wreath shape on my Whisper White panel.

And here is what the wreath ended up looking like after I had it completed.

A BIG THANK YOU to my sweet friend Mary Fish for the inspiration for this card ........ I'm totally IN LOVE with the way it turned out.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share the final project of my 32 Day Christmas Extravaganza with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Day 30/32 Christmas Extravaganza Christmas Wreath Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Day 30 of my 32 days of Christmas Extravaganza projects.  This card was created using product from the Stampin' UP! 2017 Holiday Catalog and the 2017-2018 Annual Catalog.  This card is simply STUNNING with all the Gold DSP and Foil cardstock ........ And the LOVELY Gold Ribbon just brought this whole card together in the end.  Let me share that card with you now......

This to me ......... Is the PERFECT holiday card!

I started out by adding a panel of the 'Year of Cheer Designer Series Paper' to the bottom of my Whisper White base card.  For a pop of UNEXPECTED FUN ........ I matted that gold plaid panel with some Cherry Cobbler cardstock. 

And before I adhered that panel down to my Whisper White base card ..... I wrapped some BEAUTIFUL 'Gold 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around it and tied it up into a pretty knot.

Next, I stamped my "Merry Christmas" sentiment right above that gold plaid DSP panel ...... and I used the 'Star of Light' set with Cherry Cobbler ink.

My wreath piece was stamped with the 'Painted Harvest' set and layered with Cherry Cobbler and Gold Foil cardstock.  For a final touch of PRETTY for the wreath ...... I added a bow made with the 'Real Red Mini Tinsel Trim' and adhered it with a single glue dot.

I'm just crazy about the way this gold plaid card turned out ......... And think the unexpected Cherry Cobbler just adds that touch of FUN I was going for.
 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share Day 31/32 Christmas Extravaganza with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
