Lovely Tag

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

Talk about making a tag that is packed full of WOW!

I started out by stamping my birthday sentiment onto a 3" x 4-1/4" Real Red tag.  I used the 'Birthday Banner' set and some Whisper White Embossing Powder to help make my sentiment just pop off my tag.

Next I grabbed my new 'Lovely Words' thinlits and die-cut out my lovely heart on my Real Red tag.

All that was left to do was add a 3" x 4-1/4" Whisper panel to the backside of my Real Red tag and that helped my lovely heart to pop right off my tag.  I also added three new 'Clear Faceted Gems' around the front of my tag........

And topped my tag off with some 1/8" Silver Ribbon.

Simply love how this tag turned out.

 

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

It's Your Day Notecard

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........

If you are needing a quick & easy card .......

Settle in ..... Today, I have you covered.

I grabbed my 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' stamp set and began this card creation by stamping my "It's Your Day!" sentiment in the lower right hand corner with VersaMark ink.  I then grabbed my 'Copper Embossing Powder' and used that to create a GORGEOUS & BOLD sentiment for my card.

Next I grabbed five soft Stampin' UP! ink colors (Crushed Curry, Pool Party, Smoky Slate, Calypso Coral and Bermuda Bay) and stamped off the ink color to create the base of my flower and then used the ink direct for the detailed floral image.

My card was topped off with some of the OVER THE TOP YUMMY 1/4" Copper Trim.  And because this ribbon is just so easy to work with ........ It was a snap to create the perfect little bow.

Thinking I have a bunch of thank you cards to write for some friends and family that helped to make my knee replacement surgery such a nice experience ....... Will probably use this layout to help me chip away at getting my cards sent out.

 

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

Hanger Box of Note Cards

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 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

I had been surfing the internet and came across a darling little project that I thought would make a fun display project for my New Catalog Open House last month.  I tweaked the pattern ever so slightly ....... And ended up creating this darling little note card holder that fits 4-birthday cards inside.  Here is Sandy's original blog post: 

http://www.thescrapnstampshop.com/2016/11/christmas-cookie-cutter-apron-box.html

The container for this box are as follows:

Pacific Point Cardstock: 7-3/4 x 11"

Score in landscape position at 1", 5", 6", and 10"

Turn to Portrait and score at 4-1/4" but only to 1' score line.

Turn the paper 2-turns clockwise and score at 3-1/2" but only down to 6" score line.  Then score at 6-3/4" all the way down.

And as you can see ....... the packaging is perfect to hang on a door knob or leave standing on someone's desk.

And if the packaging wasn't sweet enough .......

Check out the four fun note cards that I made for the inside.

Each card featured the new 'Happy Birthday Thinlit' die across the front ...... and the four different colors I used were Daffodil Delight, Lemon Lime Twist, Pumpkin Pie and Pacific Point.

Each card also spot-lighted the new 'Birthday Memories DSP'......

Along with some yummy new Stitched Edge Ribbon and 1/4" Double Stitched Ribbon.

And even though the Pacific Point picture is out of focus.......You can see that each card also had a coordinating balloon attached to it.

A darling project that is over the top CUTE......

And will surly make someone feel extra special when I give it to them!

 

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

Birthday Card 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 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here yesterday's Spot Light Sunday card on TOP.....

And today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the BOTTOM.....

I'm just WILD CRAZY about how this upgraded card turned out.

I used the same 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' set to stamp my sentiment......

And I used the same 'Birthday Memories' Designer Series Paper' across the center of my card.  But to the center of the DSP, I added some new 'Pacific Point Stitched Edge Ribbon'.

My trio of balloons changed up slightly too.  I used the stamps in the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' set and stamped those onto the Pacific Point, Real Red and Daffodil Delight cardstock ........ And ultimately punched out with my Balloon Punch.  I also added on additional layer of Stitched Oval Framelits to help make my trio of balloons really POP!

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 creation with you ...... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream! 

Spot Light Sunday Birthday Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2017-2018 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.........

How FUN AND HAPPY is this birthday card!

I began by stamping my sentiment (from the 'Happy Birthday Gorgeous' set) onto my Whisper White base card with Old Olive ink.

Next I used a panel of 'Birthday Memories' Designer Series Paper across the center of my Whisper White card.

And the last step to completing this card was die-cutting an Old Olive oval and stacking three balloons onto that oval. 

A quick and easy birthday card ........

That looks perfect in any color combination!!!!!

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!

LOVE YOU Paper Pumpkin Tag

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN TAG to share with you!  This just has to be one of my favorite alternate projects I prepared with the May Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock to create this tag ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that tag with you now.

How fun is this sassy little 'LOVE YOU' tag!

I began by stamping my sentiment onto one of the Whisper White banner flags that came with this kit.

My donut was created with two layers of cardstock and then I added some sprinkles to the top of my chocolate donut.

I popped my donut up with Stampin' Dimensionals and then added a single red heart to the center of my donut hole.

Some new yummy Powder Pink ribbon was added to the top of my tag......And I finished it off with a pretty Whisper White Baker's Twine bow.

Just crazy about the way this tag turned out ........... And will be surprising Jack with it this morning when he wakes up.  (He's been doing an AMAZING JOB taking care of me the last three weeks while I recover from my knee replacement surgery.)

 

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!

Hello There Tag

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 how this tag turned out.

I started out by adhering a panel of 'Pick a Pattern' DSP to my 2" x 4-1/4" Whisper White tag.

Next I grabbed my 1-1/2, 1-3/4" and 2' circle punches and created 3-cirlces with some Old Olive, Bermuda Bay and Whisper White cardstock.

My sentiment was then stamped onto the 1-1/2" Whisper White circle using Crushed Curry ink and the 'Pieces and Patterns' stamp set.

And the final touches were adding the Mini Chevron Ribbon and three Glitter Enamel Dots to the front of my tag.

A HAPPY and FUN kind of tag .......

That will look perfect attached to any gift.....
