Happy For 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........

I am completely IN LOVE with the way this tag turned out.

I started this tag off by stamping the Lemon Lime Twist circle from the 'Bouquet Blooms' set onto my Whisper White tag.  I used Lemon Lime Twist ink and sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder and then heat set it.  Talk about a PRETTY WOW FACTOR!

Next I used the same 'Bouquet Blooms' set and stamped my fun little sentiment on the inside of that embossed circle.  I used Flirty Flamingo ink and Clear Embossing Powder to get that same SHINY WOW FACTOR for my sentiment.

The flowers were stamped Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Pool Party ink......And I used the 'Gatefold Blossoms' dies to crop out those three flowers.  I used the same die and cropped out three more solid flowers (Flirty Flamingo, Highland Heather and Pool Party card stock) and layered each of those flowers behind the stamped flowers.

To finish off my tag ....... I added 'Granny Apple Green 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' to the top of my tag and added a 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' bow to secure that ribbon up.

Just one of those PRETTY tags........

That will look AMAZING attached to a fun little gift.

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!

Pair of Holiday Tags

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week Wednesday 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 Wednesday share for today........

At the end of my August Stamp Camp ........ I offered my guest the opportunity to create these two darling little holiday gift tags as a fun bonus project. 

Since our theme for August Stamp Camp was celebrating the holidays ........ Each guest made 4-beautiful holiday cards (which I have shared with you over the last four weeks) ......... and finished up their time with me by creating these two holiday gift tags.

Both tags used the 'Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper'..........

And used both a Old Olive and Real Red circle with a pretty 'Pearlized Doilies' tucked behind it.  

We used the 'Labels To Love' stamp set to add our "To/From" sentiment across the Old Olive and Real Red circles........

And the Gold Glitter star was die-cut using the "Starlight Thinlits' dies.

I'm just crazy about the way these tags turned out....

And have made extras so I can add them to all my holiday gift packages.

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!

Downline Tea Tin Gift

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 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

Check out this adorable project that I had my downline team create at our August Downline Meeting.

The 'Copper Tea Tin' was decorated with the 'Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper' and some Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

When the lid to the Copper Tea Tin was removed ....... It reveals three little 3x3 note cards tucked inside.

The three little note cards were decorated with more of the 'Under the Mistletoe Designer Series Paper' and 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

We used the 'Mistletoe Season' stamp set and Shaded Spruce ink for each little 3x3 note card.

Two little 'Red Rhinestone Basic Jewels' were added to both sides of the sentiment.......

And more of the 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' was added to the top of each Designer Series panel.

This project was a HUGE HIT with my downline team members......

And makes for the perfect little gift to give to someone special 

this upcoming holiday season.

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!

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

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

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today on the RIGHT.....

My upgraded card is really stepping up the balloons for that someone special on my August birthday card list.

For my upgraded version ....... I only die-cut the 'Candles Confetti' die to the top portion of my Whisper White panel.  Instead of a oval sentiment piece ..... I stamped my birthday sentiment directly onto my Whisper White panel and used Lemon Lime Twist ink for that sentiment.

My six balloons were die-cut from that same 'Candles Confetti' dies.  I used Berry Burst, Grapefruit Grove, Lemon Lime Twist and Powder Pink card stock to create those six balloons.

And my final upgrade was adding some 'Lemon Lime Twist Ruffled Ribbon' to the bottom of my card.

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!

Balloon For You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 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 started this card out by using the 'Candles Confetti Die' to crop out the front of my Whisper White base card.  Next, I added a panel of Lemon Lime Twist card stock behind that die-cut piece and that gave me an instant FESTIVE look for this card.

Here's a close-up of how fun that Lemon Lime Twist card stock looks behind the popped out die-cut pieces.

I stamped three balloons (Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist and Grapefruit Grove) onto a 'Layering Oval Framelits' piece ....... And added some 'Basic Black Baker's Twine' to the three balloons.

My sentiment was stamped onto a 'Stitched Oval Framelits' and I used the 'Blow Out The Candles' set and Lemon Lime Twist ink for that sentiment piece.

And that's all it took to create this great birthday card ....... that is the perfect card for me to send out to someone celebrating their birthday in August.

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!

For You 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 July Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

I'm just thrilled with the way this card turned out.

I started out by adding a Blueberry Bushel and Crumb Cake panel down the left hand edge of my Whisper White base card.

I used the 'Floral Frames' set to die-cut my Granny Apple Green leafs.......And added those to my Blueberry Bushel circles.

My sentiment is from the July kit ...... And I stamped that onto a Blueberry Bushel banner flag.  I used VersaMark ink and then sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder and heat set that piece.

It's kind of hard to see ...... But I ran the front of my Whisper White base card through my Big Shot using the 'Subtle Embossing Folder'.

With all these pieces put together........

I created a HAPPY & FUN kind of card with the July kit.

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!

Love Love Love 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 ........ It's time to jump right in with my tag share for today........

Here's a really fast and easy tag that comes together in no time flat.

All I did was use the 'Sunshine Wishes Thinlits' and two different colors of card stock (Flirty Flamingo and Powder Pink) to die-cut out the word "love" three times.

I added some 'Powder Pink 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon' to the top of my tag and tied it up with a pretty bow from some Whisper White Baker's Twine.

A final touch was using my 'Flirty Flamingo Stampin' Write Marker' and adding some stitching lines around the outer edge of my Whisper White 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!
