Hi There Cactus 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........

From the moment I saw the 'Flowering Desert' set .......... I WAS IN LOVE!!!!!  So I must admit ....... I'm somewhat addicted to creating with this new Occasions Catalog set.

I started out by creating a Whisper White banner flag tag.

Next......I added some of the new 'Lemon lime Twist Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper' to the center of my tag.

The cactus that I created was with Mossy Meadow card stock.  I stamped that cactus with VersaMark ink and then sprinkled it with 'Clear Embossing Powder'.  After it was heat set and cooled ........ I used my Paper Snips to crop out that cactus.

I layered that cactus onto a Mossy Meadow and Whisper White 'Layering Ovals Framelits Dies'.

My sentiment was stamped from the same 'Flowering Desert' set and I created a 1/2" banner flag that extended from behind my oval frame.

To finish off my tag ...... I added some 'Granny Apple Green 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' to the top of my tag and created a pretty bow with some 'Whisper White Bake's Twine'.

I just couldn't be happier with the way this tag turned out.

Tell me what you think!!!!

 

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!

Celebrate Your Day 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........

Check out this DARLING card my Downline Team made at our January Team Meeting.  We used two sets from the 2019 Sale-a-Bration Catalog to create this card.

We started off with the 'Hello Cupcake' Sale-a-Bration set and stamped that with Granny Apple Green ink onto our Whisper White base card.

Next, we used a panel of the Sale-a-Bration 'Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper' and added that to the bottom portion of our card. 

Before we adhered that DSP panel down to our card ....... We wrapped a piece of the new 'Coastal Cabana Granny Apple Green 3/8" Reversible Ribbon' around the left hand edge and tied it into a pretty knot.

All that was left to do was stamp our ADORABLE little frog from the Sale-a-Bration 'So Hoppy Together' set.  We layered that piece with some Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green circles.

Just a darling little card that gave my Downline Team the opportunity to check out LOTS of new product from the 2019 Sale-a-Bration Catalog.

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!

Santa Note Card Holder

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

This is the second project my downline team made at our December Holiday Party.

It's a Holder that has 4-darling little notecards tucked inside.  We just happen to do this for the holidays ......... but this project would look AMAZING with some darling little floral note cards tucked inside.

The base box measures 7-3/4"x9-1/4" and we used Pool Party card stock.  We scored that piece on the 9-1/4" side at 4" and 5-1/4".  Then we turned it to the 7-3/4" side and scored it at 5-1/4" and 6-1/2".  The insert piece that holds the notecards measures 8"x3".  We scored that piece on the 3" side at 2-1/2" and then turned it to the 8" side and scored it at 3/4", 2", 6" and 7-1/4".

Here are the darling little note cards we made.  We used the Santa Memories & More packet to create our cards ........ But check out the 2019 Occasions Catalog (Page 26) and give the 'Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack' a try.

We even decorated the front of the envelopes with the product that is included in the Memories & More Card Pack.

When the two Pool Party pieces are adhered together.......The notecards tuck so nicely inside the box.

This picture shows you the placement of the Sticky Tape.  And I also have numbered each of the pieces so you know how the box is assembled.

And this shows how to attach those two pieces together.

This is what the inside of your holder will look like when all the pieces are assembled and in place.

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

Hope you consider using the 'Happiness Blooms Memories & More Card Pack' to make a lovely gift for a friend this spring.

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!

Thanks 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 2019 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

The first upgrade I made to my Mix-It-UP! Monday card was changing up the orientation.  I then changed up the card base.......From Whisper White to Calypso Coral.

I used the same 'Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper' panel across the center of my card.  But for this upgraded version.......I matted each of those panels with some Calypso Coral card stock.

The 'Beach Happy' set was used to stamp my "Thanks" sentiment.  The upgrade to my sentiment was stamping it with Calypso Coral ink and VersaMark.......and then sprinkling it with 'Clear Embossing Powder'.  All that was left to do was use my 'Heat Tool' to set the Embossing Powder ....... And that gave me instant WOW FACTOR to that sentiment.

And for the three flowers......I stamped each of them with VersaMark ink and then sprinkled them with 'Clear Embossing Powder' and that brought on a whole new kind of shine to all three flowers.

So tell me blogger 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!

Thank You Bloom Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from both the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog and the new 2019 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..........

Talk about a PRETTY & HAPPY looking kind of card.

This one just screams Spring to me.

I started out with two panels of the new 'Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper'.  Each panel was adhered to the top of my Calypso Coral card stock panel.

Next, I stamped my "Thanks" sentiment from the new 'Beach Happy' set with Calypso Coral ink.

My flowers were stamped from the new 'Bloom by Bloom' set and I used Mango Melody and Melon Mambo ink to stamp those.

After stamping my three flowers......I grabbed my Paper Snips and fussy cut out each of those flowers.

And that my friends is all it took to create this pretty looking card.

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!

3-Panel 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 December Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This alternate Paper Pumpkin card just makes me HAPPY!!!

I started this card out with a panel of Calypso Coral card stock on the top of a Whisper White card base.  Next......I added three designer panels that I created using the stamp set that was included in the December kit.  I used Grapefruit Grove for two of those panels......And Pool Party for one of the panels.

My sentiment was stamped using the "hello" that was included in this kit ....... And I layered it with the new 'Cute Crew Punch' and a Pool Party 'Stitched Shape Circle'.

All that was left for me to do was wrap some 'Pool Party 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon' around my card and I finished it off with a tiny piece of the new 'Calypso Coral 3/8" Satin Ribbon'.

And that's all it took my friends to create this darling little card.  Can you even image the possibilities by just changing up the sentiment!!!!

 

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!

Hello Hello Hello 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 had so much fun creating this BRIGHT & HAPPY tag.

I started out with a Lemon Lime Twist tag and ran it through my Big Shot Machine with the 'Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder'.

Next, I grabbed the new "Beauty Abounds' set and stamped my hello sentiment onto Berry Burst, Powder Pink and Tranquil Tide card stock.  I used the 1-1/4" circle punch to crop each of those sentiment out.

After I had each of those sentiments cropped out ...... I adhered each of them to a 1-3/8" Basic Black circle and added a 'Stampin' Dimensional to the back before securing each to my Lemon Lime Twist tag.  For an added touch of FUN ....... I added a flower punched from the 'Bitty Blooms Punch Pack' to each colorful hello circle.

And I finished off my tag with a some 'Berry Burst Ruffled Ribbon' and tied it off with a 'Basic Black Baker's Twine' bow.

This tag will be going to a special friend.......

Just to say "Hello" to them.
