You Make Me Smile 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 the 2017 -2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is yesterday's Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT.....

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

For today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card ........ It's all about the packaging on how I planned to give this card out.

My plan was to use one of the new 'Striped Treat Bags' for the packaging of my card ........ But my Stampin' UP! order had not arrived.  So I grabbed one of the now retired Glassine Bags and began creating with that.  The medallion I created for my bag turned out SUPER AWESOME!

I started out by using one of the 'Delicate White Doilies' for the base of my medallion ......... and then added several layers from the 'Eastern Medallions Thinlits Dies'.  Some (now retired) Dapper Denim Ribbon and Gold Sequin Trim just put my medallion over the top.

I used the same 'Eastern Palace Specialty Designer Series Paper' for the bottom portion of my card......

And to the top off my Berry Burst and Tranquil Tide cardstock panel I added some 1/8" Gold Ribbon.  My final step to upgrading this cardstock panel was to add one of the new Gold Mini Tassels and tied it up into a pretty bow.

I also wanted to upgraded my sentiment ........ So I grabbed my VersaMark and Gold Embossing Powder and created a BRIGHT & SHINY sentiment for this card.

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

Two great cards ........

With a fun and easy packaging idea to go along with it!!!!

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!
