Light Bulb 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 my Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT.....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT.....
For my upgraded card ....... I began by changing the orientation. 
I then used my 'Simply Score Board' to create a 1/4" score line around all four sides of my Whisper White panel.
To create my focal image ....... I used the 'Watts of Occasions' stamp set with Old Olive ink.
I changed up my center DSP panel a tiny bit.
I used the same 'Be Merry DSP' and wrapped some of the SUPER YUMMY 1/4" Old Olive Stitched-Edge Ribbon around that panel ...... And finished if off with a pretty bow.
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!

Light Bulb Merry & Bright

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 is this non-traditional Holiday card!
I stamped the light bulb image from the 'Watts of Occasions' set with Old Olive ink.
A simple little 'Brights Enamel (star) Shape' was added to the top of the Christmas tree for a TINY BIT OF FUN!
I created a panel at the lower edge of my Whisper White card ....... Using the 'Be Merry Designer Series Paper'.
And added three Old Olive 'Brights Enamel Shapes' right above  my DSP panel.
A QUICK & EASY Holiday card that comes together
in NO TIME FLAT!

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!

It's Your Day Note Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This card was made with the June Paper Pumpkin kit ....... And I have to tell you that it came together in a SUPER JIFFY.  The only thing extra I added to create this card was the new Seam Binding ......... And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.
Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this festive card!
I started out by adding a piece of DSP cardstock that was included in this kit onto a small Whisper White notecard.
Next I stamped my sentiment (also from this June kit) in the upper right hand corner of my Whisper White notecard.
All that was left to do was to cut out a small slit on the fold of my card and wrap some of the SUPER YUMMY 'Emerald Envy 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding around my card.  This seam binding ties up SO NICELY that it was a breeze getting a pretty bow added to the front of my card.
And that's all it took to create this fast and easy Paper Pumpkin card for you today!

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!

Pink Ribbon 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........
How FABULOUS is this card!
I started out by using up some of my now retired 'Pop of Pink' Designer Series Paper to the bottom portion of my Whisper White panel.  (I have to admit.......I kind of STOCKED UP when this paper retired.)
Next I used the new 'Ribbon of Courage' stamp set and stamped my sentiment with Melon Mambo ink in the upper right hand corner of my Whisper White panel.
I stamped the large ribbon image from the 'Ribbon of Courage' stamp set with VersaMark ink onto Melon Mambo cardstock.  I then sprinkled clear embossing powder over the image and heat set it.  The VERY BEST PART of the 'Ribbon of Courage' stamp set ........ Is it has a coordinating 'Support Ribbon Framelits' dies ......... Which makes it a SNAP to create any color of ribbon.
All that was left to do was adhere my ribbon to a 'Delicate White Doilies' and then mount that to a large Melon Mambo circle.  The finishing touch was adding a few 'Glitter Enamel Dots' around the front of my card. 

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!

YUMMY Mini Treat Bags

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.......
These fun little treat holders come together in a NEW YORK MINUTE with the help of the Stampin' UP! 'Mini Treat Bag Thinlits'.
This first treat bag uses the new 2017-2019 Berry Burst In-Color.  I grabbed my 'Daisy Delight' stamp set and stamped the large daisy image all over the front and back of my bag.  Then I created a darling little belly band that wrapped around the entire treat bag.  I used the new 'Color Theory Designer Series Paper Stack' to create my belly band. 
And of course ........ What would a treat bag be if you didn't have some YUMMY CANDIES to tuck inside.  (Mine just happen to have Jelly Belly's inside) 
 
SIDE NOTE ON THE 'Daisy Delight Bundle'.......This bundle has BLOWN OFF the shelves of Stampin' UP! recently ...... and even though it's SOLD OUT ........ I'm happy to report that you will be able to order it on AUGUST 1st!!!!
So I used the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set to stamp both a Whisper White and Berry Burst daisy.  I then punched out both daisies with my 'Daisy Punch' and added both of those to the center of my belly band.
For this treat bag I used the 'Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper Stack' in the new OH SO YUMMY Lemon Lime Twist.
For this treat bag I used the dies that are included in the 'Mini Treat Bag Thinlits' set and created a darling little banner flag for the front of my treat bag.  I topped the banner flag off with one of the new 2017-2019 In Color Bitty Bows and added a tiny punched Berry Burst circle to the center of each star.
And I also used the 'enjoy' die that is included in the 'Mini Treat Bag Thinlits' set to add a pretty message at the bottom of my treat bag.
 I filled this treat bag with some YUMMY Tootsie Rolls.
So that's it my friends.  These treat bags come together SUPER QUICKLY and I promise they will look AMAZING in any Stampin' UP! color combination.  Hope you give one a try!
 
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

Thank You 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 my Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT.....
And today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT.....
For today's card I basically filled up the empty space I had created in yesterday's card ....... And added more white space with my sentiment.
I began this upgraded card with the same 'Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper' on my Whisper White base card.
Next, I stamped my Thank You sentiment using the same 'Daisy Delight' set and my Calypso Coral ink.  But for this sentiment panel I enlarged the Whisper White panel a wee bit and didn't frame it with the Calypso Coral cardstock.
Behind my stamped sentiment I added a panel of Calypso Coral cardstock and topped it off with the new 1/4" Daffodil Delight Double-Stitched Ribbon.
One final addition to this upgraded card was adding three of the new 'Glitter Enamel Dots' in the yellow shades to the bottom right hand corner of my card.
So there you have it friends.......
Two perfect Thank You cards!

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!

Thank You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 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.........
This pretty thank you card uses the Delightful Daisy Suite product line.
I started out by adding a panel of the new 'Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper' directly to my Whisper White base card.
Next, I created a pretty center panel using Calypso Coral and Whisper White cardstock.  My sentiment was stamped from the 'Daisy Delight' set using Calypso Coral ink.
And for two added finishes for my sentiment panel ....... I added two embossed lines to the top and bottom Whisper White panel ....... And then added three small Calypso Coral Enamel Shapes below my stamped Thank You.
That was all it took to put this pretty Thank You card together.

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!
