Hope Your Day Is Amazing

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..........

 Check out this QUICK and EASY kind of Spotlight Sunday card.

I started out with a Whisper White base card......Then I added a panel of Pool Party to the front of my card.  Before I adhered that Pool Party panel down, I stamped it with the 'Incredible Like You' set using Memento Black ink.

Next, I stamped the floral vine image from the 'Beauty Abounds' set and used my 'Stampin' Write Markers' (Pear Pizzazz, Pool Party and Melon Mambo) to color in my image.  (Talk about Quick & Easy......With a whole lot of WOW Factor.)

And that's all it took my friends to complete this darling little 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!

Thank You Mug

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 February Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

What a pretty way to say thank you!

 

I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Black Embossing Powder'.  I die-cut the stamped sentiment with the small 'Stitched Layering Oval Die' and then layered it onto a Real Red frame that was die-cut from the new 'Lily Dies'.

 

My Designer Series Paper was created with the black and white card panel that came with the kit.  I cut the larger section out going vertically ....... and the smaller section for the bottom portion of the card going in a horizontal direction.  I added some 'Real Red 1/8" Solid Ribbon' between the two panels before adhering it down to my Basic Black card base.

 

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in my cactus cup and this card was done in no time flat.

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!

Embossed Celebrate 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 have a WOW KIND OF TAG to share with you today.

 

I used the new Sale-a-Bration 'Country Floral Embossing Folder' on my Petal Pink base tag.  After I had my tag embossed........I used Calypso Coral ink and a Sponge Dauber to highlight each of the embossed elements on my tag.

 

My sentiment was stamped with the Sale-a-Bration 'Hello CupCake' set and sprinkled with 'Clear Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.  I punched out that sentiment with the 'Story Label Punch' and then adhered that to a Calypso Coral 'Stitched Oval' piece.  And I topped off the embossed flowers with three 'Frosted Flower Embellishment' with a 'Happiness Blooms Enamel Dot' added to the center.

 

The finishing touch was adding some 'Calypso Coral and Whisper White 1/8" Sheer Ribbon' to the top of my tag.

So what do you think my friends.......

Is this not a WOW KIND OF 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!

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........

 

 It's always FUN to make a SPECIAL FOLD kind of card.

 

This gate fold card is SUPER EASY to make.  It starts with a Grapefruit Grove base card that measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Two simple scores at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4" create the gate fold section of this card.

 

 I used the 'Climbing Rose' set for the beautiful roses on this card.

 

And I added the 'Amazing Life' good luck sentiment to the top.

 

The finishing touch was adding a sweet little 'Linen Thread' bow to the front of this card.

Just thrilled with the way this card turned out.

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!

Triple Fold-Out Post it Note Holder

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

This DARLING Post-It-Note Holder is another FANTASTIC creation designed by the very talented Amanda Charlesworth.  She posted this project back on July 13, 2018 and it comes together in a quick New York minute. (https://scrimpingmommy1.blogspot.com/2018/07/trifold-mini-post-it-book.html)

 

I created my holder with my favorite Stampin' UP! card stock ........ Melon Mambo.  It's a 2-1/4" x 6-3/8" piece of card stock and you score that piece at 1-3/4", 2-1/4", 4" and 4-5/8". 

 

My holder is decorated with the 'All My Love Designer Series Paper' and the front is decorated with the 'Meant To Be' Bundle.

When the holder is opened up ....... It has not one little 2" x 1-/2" Post-It-Notes tucked inside.....

 

 But three little Post-It-Notes.

 

 Here's how the back looks when decorated.

And the finishing touch was wrapping some 'Whisper White 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around my holder to keep my holder closed.

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!

Something Sweet 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! Sale-a-Bration Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 

  My Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP.....

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

 

 So how pretty did this upgraded card turn out!

 

I started out with a Highland Heather base card and used my 'Simply Score Board' to emboss a 1/4" edge around my entire card.

 

Next, I adhered a 'Botanical Butterfly' panel to a Gorgeous Grape panel....

 

And wrapped some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around that panel and tied it up into a pretty bow.

 

My final upgrade to this card was stamping my sentiment (from the 'More Than Words' set) with Gorgeous Grape ink.  I layered this sentiment piece with the new 'Story Label Punch' and a 'Layering Ovals' piece.

 

The final addition to this upgraded card was adding three 'Glitter Enamel Dots' to the stamped sentiment piece.

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!

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 Sale-a-Bration 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..........

 

 I'm loving the SOFT and CLEAN look of this card.

 

I started out with a panel of the 'Botanical Butterfly Designer Series Paper' and positioned that onto a panel of Gorgeous Grape card stock.

Before I adhered that Designer Series Paper panel down to the Gorgeous Grape panel ....... I wrapped some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around that DSP and tied it into a pretty bow.

 

My sentiment panel was added across the bottom of my Designer Series Paper.  I stamped that sentiment with Gorgeous Grape ink and used the 'More Than Words' set for that sentiment.

 

And my final addition to this card was adding two 'Glitter Enamel Dots' to the ends of that sentiment piece.

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!

You are Beautiful

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Well my friends......Today is my big Saddle-UP! event.  I've worked hard to pull everything together and I'm all set to greet each of my Saddle-UP! guest for this ALL DAY event of stamping, playing and prize patrol!!!!!  Can't wait to see you ladies.

 

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

 

 I designed this pretty card for someone special in mind.

 

I used the "YOU" printed panel that came with this kit and just matted it to two layers of card stock.  For an added layer of interest ...... I wrapped some of the 'Black Baker's Twine' that came with this kit around the bottom section of the layered panel.

 

I stamped the sentiment that came with this kit with VersaMark ink and then sprinkled it with 'White Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.  That stamped sentiment was layered onto two 1-1/4" Black Circle pieces ...... And I added two of the crystal gems that came with the kit on both ends of the sentiment piece.

 

 And that's all it took to create this SUPER COOL looking 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!

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Friends Friday.  On Friday's, I have the honor of spot-lighting some of the fabulous cards and projects that I received from Friends ....... Fellow Demonstrators ........ and Family.  Each of these creations are works of art........and it is with great pleasure that I share with you today some AMAZING projects that four very special friends made for me.

First up is this ADORABLE St Patrick's Day card my sweet friend Donna Fritz made for me.  Now.....If the little Panda Bear on the front isn't cuteness times ten......Check out the greeting she posted on the inside..... 

HOW FUN IS THIS!!!!  Hate to report that I've already missed my first Wednesday watering day. 

My dear friends Jan and Linda gave me two very special Saddle-UP! gifts.  First was this YUMMY bottle of Pinot Grigio (OH HOW I LOVE PINOT GRIGIO WINE)........

And the second gift Jan and Linda presented me with was this OVER-THE-TOP jar of M&M candies.  Can you say SWEET!!!!!  (Might have a problem hiding these from Jack.)

And my final share for today is this FABULOUS SURPRISE that my good friend Karen Baker brought over for me.

Karen was planing to attend my Saddle-UP! event (TOMORROW) and had last minute guest come to town (a common thing when you live in AZ and have family and friends that live in the Midwest).  This made it impossible for her to come to my event ....... So I prepared a packet for her and she came over to pick it up with this yummy pink package in hand.   

HOW IN THE WORLD DID KAREN KNOW MY TWO FAVORITE THINGS (next to Jack and Monster) WOULD BE COFFEE AND CHOCOLATE.  WOW......THANK YOU KAREN!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a special Paper Pumpkin Saturday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
