Pretty Flower Cart 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........

This is one of those sets that when I first looked through the 2018 Occasions Catalog......I passed right by it.  It wasn't until I started seeing other demonstrators posting their art with this set ....... That I broke down and purchased it.  And let me tell you something friends.......SO GLAD I DID!!!!

I started this card out by using the 'Sweetheart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder' on a So Saffron panel.  Once I had that panel embossed ...... I adhered it to a Whisper White base card.

Then I got busy stamping the flower cart stamp from the 'Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts' set.  I stamped that image onto a Whisper White 'Stitched Shape Circles Die'.  I matted that image to a Pool Party scallop circle and then got busy coloring in my flower cart with my Stampin' Write Markers.

The two other circles that I added to this card included a Calypso Coral and Pear Pizzazz circle.

My sweet sentiment was also from that same 'Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts' set and after getting that stamped onto a 'Stitched Oval', I added a pretty 'Flirty Flamingo' bow right below the sentiment.

Turns out this HAPPY AND PRETTY card is just the perfect card to send out to someone special this time of year.

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!

3x3 Card Portfolio

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 the SUPER FUN Early Bird Door Prize that I gave away at my February Stamp Camp.  All guest who arrive at my Stamp Camp on time ........ Get a door prize ticket that gives them the opportunity to win my Early Bird Door Prize Gift.  This is what I created and gave away at all three of my Stamp Camp sessions last week.

All four of these little 3" x 3" Card Portfolio's use product from the 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog ...... And each Portfolio has four little 3"x3" note cards tucked inside.   Let me share each of those Portfolio's with you now.......

This first Portfolio uses the 'Tutti-frutt Designer Series Paper' and the 'Southern Serenade' stamp set.

Here are the four DARLING little note cards that were included in this Portfolio.

Each 3"x3" portfolio starts with a 6-1/4" x 6-1/4" piece of cardstock (Whisper White).  I scored at 1-1/2" and 4-3/4" on one side......Then turned the cardstock one turn and scored at 2-1/4" and 2-3/4".  The flap over piece (Real Red) is 3-3/4" x 3-1/4".  I scored that piece at 1/2" and 1".

 This Portfolio uses the 'Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper'.

And each little 3x3 card uses the 'Eastern Beauty' set for the thank you sentiment.

 For this Portfolio, I used the 'Sure Do Love You Designer Series Paper'.

 And used the 'Picture Perfect Birthday' set for the sentiment. 

And my final Portfolio uses the 'Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper'. 

 I used the 'Picture Perfect Birthday' stamp set to stamp these cards. 

 

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

Same Portfolio......Just a smaller size!!!!

 

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

Amazing 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 one additional product found in the 2018 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday card on the TOP......

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

To begin the upgrade for today's card ....... I changed the orientation from a landscape card to a portrait style card.

I used the same 'Picture Perfect Birthday' set to stamp my FABULOUS sentiment.......

And used the new Sale-a-Bration 'Shimmer Ribbon Pack' to add a pretty piece of Basic Gray ribbon to the left hand edge of my card.

My three flowers were stamped directly onto my Whisper White panel......

And I topped the center of each flower off with a single 'Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequin'.

So tell me 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! 

Amazing You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration  and 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog.  This card uses several products from both of those catalogs.  I'm thrilled with the way this card turned out ......... And want to jump right in with my card share for today...........

How special is this Basic Gray and Smoky Slate card!

I used the 'Picture Perfect Birthday' set to stamp my FABULOUS sentiment......

And then grabbed the 'Amazing You' Sale-a-Bration set to create three DARLING & DETAILED flowers for the front of my card.

Each flower is stamped with Smoky Slate ink directly onto the Whisper White panel.  Then I stamped two Smoky Slate flowers and one Basic Gray flower and used my Paper Snips to fussy cut out each of those pretty flowers.

All that was left to do was adhere each fussy cut flower directly to the center of each stamped flower ....... And I topped off the center of each flower with a pretty 'Tutti-frutti Adhesive-Backed Sequin'.

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!

Copper Thoughts Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the alternate project that I created using the January Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

I just couldn't be happier with the way this card turned out!

I cut down the black/white striped card that came with this kit and created a double layered panel for the front of my card.

I used the sentiment that came with my January kit ...... And stamped that with VersaMark and Copper Embossing Powder.  Next, I layered that sentiment onto a couple 'Layering Circle Framelits' pieces......

And I used Copper Embossing Powder to create three flowers from the 'Best Birds' stamp set.  The coordinating 'Birds & Blooms Thinlits' dies helped to crop out three perfect little Flirty Flamingo flowers.

All that was left to do was wrapped some 'Flirty Flamingo Baker's Twine' around the top of my card and finish it off with a pretty bow.

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

A BEAUTIFUL card that came together in no time flat!

 

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!

Birthday Candle 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 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 the way this tag turned out.

I started out by stamping my birthday sentiment ....... With the help of the new 'Picture Perfect Birthday' set at the bottom of my Whisper White tag.  I used Berry Burst ink and added two 'Metallic Enamel Shapes' to both sides of my stamped sentiment.

Next, I used the birthday candles in that 'Picture Perfect Birthday' set and stamped three candles on a Whisper White 'Stitched Shapes' circle.  I used Tranquil Tide, Soft Sky and Berry Burst for my three candle colors.

Then all I needed to do was layer my stamped candle image onto circles that were die-cut using the 'Layering Circles Framelits'.

 

All that was left to do was top my tag off with some new OH SO YUMMY 'Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon and tie it all up with the a pretty bow using the new 'Silver Baker's Twine'.

And that is all it took to create this DARLING little birthday tag.  Just have to say ....... I have the PERFECT gift bag that this tag will be attached to and just know it will look AMAZING.

 

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!

Picnic Basket 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's this for a HAPPY & FUN kind of card!

I started this card out by stamping my sweet sentiment from the 'Picnic With You' set (with Dapper Denim) in the upper left hand corner of my Whisper White panel. 

Next, I stamped the picnic basket (with Crumb Cake ink) from that same set and used the coordinating  'Picnic Basket Builder Framelits Dies' to get a perfect cut for my picnic basket image.  And for a touch of FUN ....... I added a Dapper Denim stamped napkin to the top of my picnic basket!

I added some Old Olive grass (from the 'Picnic Basket Builder Framelits Dies') right below my die-cut picnic basket.......

And used my new 'Stamparatus' to position a loaf of bread and bottle of wine inside my picnic basket.  

One final touch to finishing off my card was stamping two wine glasses so they were peeking out behind the grass!

 And that's all it took my friends to make this DARING little 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!
