Fat Free Birthday 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 both the 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog and 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 TOP.....

And my upgraded Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the BOTTOM.

So for my upgraded version ...... I added a punch of color onto my Whisper White base card. 

I ran my Berry Burst top panel through my Big Shot machine using the 'Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder'.  That created the perfect POP of texture I was looking for.

Next, I adhered two 1/2" x 5-1/4" panels of the 'Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper' across the bottom portion of my embossed Berry Burst panel.

For my sentiment ..... I used the same Stampin' UP! colors and the 'Birthday Wit' set.  But for this upgraded card ....... I used the ink pad to stamp each word and then grabbed my Paper Snips to cut out each word. 

All I needed to do was adhere each word down onto my Whisper White panel and mat that piece to some Pumpkin Pie and Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.

I added three 'Tutti-frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins' down into the center of the embossed polka dot sections ....... and this card was called done!

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

Two GREAT cards that will make someone special

SMILE BIG when they receive their birthday card.

 

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! 

Fat Free 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 and the 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog.  This card uses several products from both of those catalogs ............ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this card for their birthday!

I started out by cutting two pieces of the 'Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper' into 1/2" x 5-1/4" stripes and then trimmed one end of both pieces to fit on a diagonal.  Then all that was left to do was adhere both pieces directly down onto my Whisper White base card.

After that, I used my 'Stampin' Write Markers' to color in each of the sentiments on the 'Birthday Wit' set.  I used Pumpkin Pie for the top and bottom words......And then followed it up with Bermuda Bay, Sweet Sugarplum, Pacific Point, Lemon Lime Twist, Berry Burst, Tempting Turquoise and Calypso Coral.  All I needed to do after spreading ink onto each stamp ....... was to huff onto the stamp to re-moisten the ink and then stamp it onto a panel of Whisper White cardstock.

A few  'Tutti-frutti Adhesive Backed Sequins' were added to the front of my card.........

And this card was done 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!

Hello Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

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

I'm just crazy about the way this card turned out.

I used the 'hello' stamp that was included in the March kit and stamped it with Fresh Fig ink onto one of the little pink banners.  The Fresh Fig ribbon was an added touch I added to the top of the banner ...... And three little pearls were added right below the stamped 'hello'.

The flowers were also included in the March kit ...... and all I needed to do was punch them out and pop them into the lower right hand corner of this card.

And in a jiffy........This card was done!

 

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

This party hat looks so realistic .... and it's all done with the help of the 'Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper'.

I used one of the Designer Series Paper in this stack and fussy cut out the party hat.

I adhered that party hat on top of three circles that I die-cut from the 'Layering Circles Framelits'......

And I topped my party hat off with the Berry Burst 'Mini Gift Bow'.

My tag measures 8-1/2" x 2-1/2 and I scored it at 4-1/4".  To secure my tag closed ....... I attached one of the 'Gold Library Clips' to the top of my tag and added some 'Berry Burst 5/8" Crinkled Seam Binding' to the top of the clip.

When you remove the clip ...... you flip the tag open to reveal a fun little sentiment.  That was stamped with the 'Confetti Celebration' set and I added three festive balloons right above the stamped sentiment.

The balloons were punched out with the 'Balloon Punch' and then I used my 'Black Stampin' Write Marker' to add my strings.

This is just a creative twist on creating a fun birthday tag.

 

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!

Double Z-Fold Out 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 Double Z-Fold Out card turned out just the way I had imaged it.

The little baker man on the front flaps up to expose three balloons (in the middle) and a special message on the third fold.

I started with a Bermuda bay base card that measures 4-1/4" x 11"  I scored that piece at 5-1/2" and 8-1/4".  The center Gray panel measure 3-1/4" x 10" and that piece is scored at 2-3/4" and 5-1/2"

I used the 'Birthday Delivery' set to stamp my little baker man and sentiment on the front.....

And on the center panel I used the 'Birthday Friends Framelits' to die-cut the three festive balloons.

My special sentiment was stamped on the third panel with the 'Birthday Delivery' set.

The Z-Fold section of this card turned out perfectly.

So there you have it friends........Might just have to send this little card to my granddaughter for her birthday.......She lots to bake.

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!

Acetate Box of Birthday 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 both the 2018 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog and 2017-2018 Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this Acetate Box of birthday cards!

I started this project out with one of the 'Clear Acetate Boxes' from Stampin' UP!  Next, I created a darling little belly band to go around my acetate box.  My belly band is a 2-1/4" x 11" piece of Berry Burst cardstock.  I connected two panels of the 'Picture Perfect Party DSP' that measured 2-1/8" x 5-1/2" and joined them at the back of my belly band.

The sentiment I selected is from the 'Birthday Wit' and I stamped it in VersaMark ink and then sprinkled 'White Embossing Powder' over the top and heat set it.

All that was left to do was wrap some 'Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Striped Ribbon' around my belly band and secure into a pretty bow. 

Here are the four Double Z-Fold cards I created for this box.

This is the Berry Burst version.....

I used Pool Party for the Z-Fold portion of my card.

This is the Lemon Lime Twist version.....

This card I used Berry Burst for the Z-Fold portion.

This is the Pool Party version......

Peekaboo Peach was used for the Z-Fold section of this card.

And my final card is a Peekaboo Peach version......

For this card I used Lemon Lime Twist for the Z-Fold portion.

And here is how the Double Z-Fold card looks from above.

I couldn't leave the envelopes naked ....... So I covered the outside flap of each envelope with more of the 'Picture Perfect Party Designer Series Paper'.

I must admit.......

This is going to make a PERFECT birthday gift for a friend.

 

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!
