Love What You Do 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 my Tag Thursday share ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.......

 

How sweet is this special little Whisper White tag???

I started this tag off by running my Whisper White tag thru my Big Shot using the 'Lovely Floral Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder'.  The impression that this folder leaves on your card stock is simply beautiful.

To add a little WOW FACTOR to my embossed flowers ...... I added a few of the new Rich Razzleberry 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls' to the center of several embossed flowers.

 

My sentiment was stamped with the 'Love What You Do' set ...... and I used Berry Burst ink to stamp that sentiment. 

I topped my tag off with a piece of 'Berry Burst 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon and some 'Silver Mini Sequin Trim'......

And I finished my tag off with some stitching lines around the outside edge of my Whisper White tag  with my 'Berry Burst Stampin' Write Marker'.


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!

Heart/Flower 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........

Who wouldn't LOVE LOVE LOVE receiving this card????

 

I started out this card by embossing a Basic Black panel with the (soon to be retiring) 'Sweetheart Textured Impressions Embossing Folder'.  Next I used the (soon to be retiring) "Sweet & Sassy Framelits' to diecut out a heart image.  I was able to position the heart diecut directly over were the heart was embossed from the embossing folder.  All I needed to do was adhere the embossed and diecut Basic Black panel to my Whisper White base card

 

My sentiment was stamped right in the center of my diecut heart ....... And I used the 'Hanging Gardent' set and Basic Black ink to stamp that.  A final touch was adding three 'Rhinestone Basic Jewels' right below my stamped sentiment. 

And the finishing touch was adding a soon to be retired double 'Pansy' punch flower to the top corner of my heart.  I added one of the 'Silver Faceted Gems' to the center of my flower and called this card DONE!!!

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!

Narrow Note 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 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.......

I shared with you last week the notecard portfolio ....... And today, I have another version of that same portfolio to share with you.

This version uses the new 'Narrow Notecards'.

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

I started this version out with a 9-1/2"x11" piece of 'Pick A Pattern Designer Series Paper'.  I scored the 9-1/2" side at 1-1/4", 4-1/2", 5" and 8-1/4".  I scored the 11" side at 2-1/4" and 7-1/2".

Here is what this portfolio looks like when you open it up.

And on the inside I tucked four little Narrow Note Cards.

I used the 'Pick a Patter Designer Series Paper' to decorate each of my cards.....

And even decorated all four envelopes with the same Designer Series Paper.

I added a pretty 'Pansy Punch' flower to each card.....

And stamped each card with the 'Friendship's Sweetest Thoughts' set.

And this is what the portfolio looks like when all four cards are tucked inside.

Can't wait to give this portfolio to a very special friend this week.

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!

Pretty Thank You Upgraded Card

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 new 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT.....

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

 

For my upgraded card ........ I began by changing the orientation of my card.  I switched it from a landscape card to a portrait style card.  I also added two additional card stock layers (Mossy Meadow and Rich Razzleberry) to my Whisper White base card.

The first thing I did was stamp my flower image.  To dress up each of the flowers just a tiny bit ...... I added one of the Petal Pink pearls from the 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls' collection to each of my stamped flowers.

Next, I added a panel of the 'Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper' along the bottom edge of my Whisper White panel.  A final touch for my Designer Series Paper panel was to wrap some of the OH SO YUMMY 'Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon' around the center and I tied it up into a pretty knot.

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Love What You Do' set onto one of the small labels in the 'Share What You Love Embellishment Kit'.  I used Rich Razzleberry ink to stamp my sentiment ....... And then added two Rich Razzleberry pearls from the 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls' collection.

All that was left to do was add some 'Stampin' Dimensionals' to the back of my sentiment piece and adhere that to a Rich Razzleberry 'Starburst' punch piece.

And that is all it took my friends to upgrade my Pretty Thank You card for today.

 

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! 

Pretty Thank You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the upcoming 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from that catalog ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

 

I'm just crazy about the product I used to create this card.

 

I started out by using a piece of the 'Share What You Love Specialty Designer Series Paper' across the bottom of my Whisper White base card.

Next, I stamped the flower from the 'Love What You Do' set with Rich Razzleberry ink.

 

Then I used the splatter stamp that comes with the 'Love What You Do' set and stamped two splatter images directly onto my Whisper White base card.  I used Mossy Meadow ink and stamped my image one time and then without re-inking my image.......I stamped a second time right above the first stamped image.

 

I stamped the center of each little flower with one of the fill in stamps in the 'Love What You Do' set.......

And finished this card off  by stamping the "thank you" sentiment in the center of my card.  This card truly came 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!

Lighthouse 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 April Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

How's this for an alternate Paper Pumpkin card project????

 

I started out by matting some of the Island Indigo striped DSP that came with this kit with a  panel of Island Indigo cardstock.

 

Then I grabbed the cut apart images that came with this kit and punched out one of the lighthouse images.  All I needed to do was adhere that image to a panel Whisper White and Island Indigo cardstock and my lighthouse image seriously came to life.

 

The lifesaver was another cut apart image that came with this kit.  And all I needed to do was wrap some of the twine (that also came with the kit) around the lifesaver and then pop that onto the striped DSP panel.

 

To finish off my card ........ I used the 'High Tide' set ...... and some Island Indigo ink.

And that's all it took my friends to create this fantastic looking lighthouse card.

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!

Navy Thank You 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 my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.......

This special little tag just screams PRETTY!

I started out with a 3"x 4-1/4" Night of Navy tag and used the new 'Love What You Do' set to stamp my sentiment.  I used VersaMark and White Embossing Powder to give my sentiment a shiny bright look.

I used one of the new 'Pearlized Doiles' and attached a pretty 1/2" Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon that was tied up into a pretty bow right in the center of my Pearlized Doiles. 

I added some more 'Night of Navy Gingham Ribbon' to the top of my tag ..... And tied it up with some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

Just couldn't be happier with the way 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!
