Starburst Halloween 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 fun little starburst card technique was taught to me by two of my SaddleBrooke Stamper friends.  It's a SUPER EASY technique......and can be done with any Designer Series Paper.
I did my technique with the 'Toils & Trouble Designer Series Paper' ........ and created my card as a fun Halloween card.  All you need to create this card is 4-different patterns of Designer Series Paper.  Those pieces are cut into 1-1/2" x 4" pieces.  Use your Paper Trimmer to cut each of those Designer Series Papers from point-to-point and you will end up with 8-pieces of triangle cut DSP.
You will arrange those 8-pieces of DSP onto a Whisper White panel that measures 2-3/4" x 5".  The best way to line these up is to start in the center of this Whisper White panel and then stack your DSP pieces up to the top.......And then down to the bottom.  This will ensure you are covering your Whisper White panel completely.  All that is left to do is flip your DSP/Whisper White panel over and trim off the excess DSP that is hanging over the edges ,...... And adhere that panel to a Basic Black panel that measures 3" x 5-1/4".

I used the 'Trick or Tweet' stamp set to create a DARLING little scallop puppy image......
And added a sentiment flag off to the right of the puppy with the 'Itty Bitty Greetings' set.
And that's all it took my friends to create this NOT SO CREEPY Halloween 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!

Wine Bottle Tag

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! Holiday Catalog and 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......
Who says ........ Halloween is only about getting and receiving chocolate?  In my adult/grown up world ...... I LOVE giving and receiving a YUMMY bottle of wine.
So today ....... I created this darling little wine bottle tag and will be giving this to one of my neighbors (Who I know would LOVE to receive wine over chocolate ANY DAY!!!!).
I started with a Basic Black tag that measures 2" x 7-3/4".  I used both the 1-1/2" and 1-3/4" circle punches to create the top for my wine bottle tag.
Next ....... I added a panel of 'Toils & Trouble Designer Series Paper' to the front of my tag.  That DSP panel measures 1-3/4" x 5".
For some added SPOOKY FUN, I added a spider web that was created with the help of the 'Cauldron Framelits Dies'.  I also used the 'Cauldron Bubble' stamp set and stamped my "Tick or Treat" sentiment directly onto the Designer Series Panel.  And the finishing touch to the Spider Web section of this tag was adding some 'Black 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon' around the top of my wine bottle tag.
I used the 'Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper' and trimmed out two pumpkins ....... And also die-cut the ADORABLE black cat and had him sitting on the top of one of the pumpkins.  One final touch for this tag was using my 'Clear Wink of Stella' on each of the pumpkins......And that just helped to make those pumpkins JUMP off this tag.
So there you have it friends.......
A SUPER GREAT Halloween gift is created in a
SUPER QUICK JIFFY!!!

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!

Upgraded Boo 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 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP......
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded version for today on the BOTTOM.....
For my upgraded version ........ I did most of my upgrading with the help of wet and dry embossing.
I used my 'Simply Score Board' to create a 1/2" embossed border around the outer edges of my Whisper White base card.
Next, I used 'VersaMark' and 'Black Embossing Powder' to stamp my sentiment.
For my upgraded card ...... I stamped the three little ghost with 'VersaMark' and used 'White Embossing Powder' on each of those.
Another upgraded to this card ....... Was adding thee banner flags created from the 'Toil & Troubles Designer Series Paper' to the edge of my Black banner flag.
And the final upgrade was using the same 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around the top of the Black banner flag ........ But for this upgraded version, I frayed the ends of the Baker's Twine to give it a distressed kind of look.
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!

Boo Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday 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..........
How's this for a Quick & Easy kind of Halloween card????
I started this card off by stamping my "Boo" from the 'Cauldron Bubble' set onto the bottom right hand corner of my Whisper White base card.
Next, I created a Basic Black banner for this card.  I stamped three little ghost and then used the 'Cauldron Framelits' to die-cut out those little ghost.
All that was left to do to finish off this Black banner flag ....... Was to wrap some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around the top of this banner.
And I finished this card off with a few 'Metallic Sequins' around the white space....... .And I 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!

Surprise Flip 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 September Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
This card turned out exactly as I had pictured it in my head!
I ran a Smoky Slate card stock panel through my Big Shot using the 'Polka Dot Basics' Embossing Folder.
Next, I adhered two of the ghost included in the September Paper Pumpkin kit directly onto that embossed panel.
I created a Gorgeous Grape and Basic Black panel for the left hand side of my card.........
And before adhering that panel down to my card ....... I tucked one of the tags included in this kit behind it.  I used some of the Baker's Twine that was included in this kit to act as a closure for that tag.
And when the tag is untied ....... It lifts up and reveals a SPOOKY surprise message under the tag.
I did some final stamping on the bottom of the Basic Black panel.......
And called this card done and finished.
 
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!

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

This tag is too STINKIN CUTE!!!!
I started this tag off with a panel of the 'Toil & Trouble Designer Series Paper' added to the center of my Lemon Lime Twist base tag.
I did stamp the sentiment from the 'Spooky Sweet' set directly onto that Designer Series Paper ...... And added several 'Black Sequins' around that DSP panel.

And I topped my tag off with some 'White 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon' that I colored in with the 'Dark Mango Melody Blends'.  The finishing touch was adding one of the 'Spider Trinkets' and this tag was done in no time flat.

Halloween Light Bulb 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 FUN is this little note card!
I used Highland Heather card stock for the front panel of my little note card.  Before running it through the Big Shot using the new 'Corrugated Dynamic Impressions Embossing Folder' for some extra texture on that panel ......... I mixed up some 'Frost White Shimmer Paint' and spritzed my Highland Heather card stock panel.  Talk about instant WOW FACTOR!!!!
My sentiment is from the 'Spooky Sweets' set.  I simply love how punching out a circle from the new 'Black Foil Sheets' and matting it with a smaller Lemon Lime Twist circle ....... Really made that sentiment POP.
My string of spooky lights were stamped with the 'Making Every Day Bright' set and stamping those on a variety of Halloween colored card stock.
Just couldn't have turned out any better in my book!

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!
