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 think.....I created the PERFECT Thank You tag!

 

To start this tag off ...... I ran a thin panel of the 'Share What You Love Designer Series Paper' down the left hand edge of my Whisper White tag.

 

Next.......I stamped my flower from the 'Love What You Do' set with VersaMark ink and then sprinkled it with 'Black Embossing Powder'.  After I heat set it ....... I used my 'Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends' to color in each flower.

 

I stamped my sentiment from the same 'Love What You Do' set and used VersaMark and Black Embossing Powder on that.......to really help my sentiment pop!   After I had that cropped out with the 'Stitched Shaped Framelits' ........ I matted it with a Rich Razzleberry 'Layering Scallop Oval'.

 

The finishing touch was adding a small piece of the 'Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Velvet Ribbon to the top and securing it down onto my tag with a tiny staple.

 

I liked this tag so much ....... that I created three more tags in Grapefruit Grove, Mint Macaron and Petal Pink and added them to a little treat bag and give them away at my May Downline meeting for a door prize.  (Can you even image?????  Someone was pretty happy!!!!!)

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!

Thank You

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........

 

My Wednesday share for today is a special little card I made with some of the left over pieces from my April Sentimental Rose Paper Pumpkin kit.  I'm telling you friends.......The April kit was one of those kits that I was THRILLED I changed my Paper Pumpkin subscription to receive two full kits.  This beautiful card just makes my heart SMILE BIG!!!

 

I started out by stamping my Thank You sentiment onto one of the labels that came with this kit.

  

Next, I adhered some 'Burlap Ribbon' around the bottom portion of one of the layering card panels ....... And finished that off with a pretty 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' bow.

All that was left to do was adhered this completed layering card panel to the front of one of the base cards included in this kit......

 

And finish my card off with three of the pretty Flirty Flamingo Enamel Dots......that also came with this kit.

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!

Large Flip Box

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY' with a twist. Normally on Tuesday's, I share a project I found on the internet and I CASE that project and share it with you here.  For today ..... I had made a batch of 'One Sheet Wonder' cards and needed to create box that would hold all 14-cards.  That meant.....I needed to size this large flip box to work for me.  Here is what I created......

 

My Large Flip Box is a 11" x 7-1/2" piece of Rich Razzleberry card stock that is scored on the 11" side at 4-1/2, 5-3/4 and 10-1/4".  On the 7-1/2" side, I scored it at 6-1/4".

 

For the lid of my box, I used a 7-1/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Rich Razzleberry ...... And I scored the 7-1/8" side at 1-1/4" on both ends.  For the 5-1/8" side I scored that at 2" on both ends. 

 

My Designer Series Paper for the front and back of the box measures 5-5/8" x 3-7/8" and the lid pieces measure 5-3/4" x 7/8".

 

The front of my box has this pretty sentiment emblem that is from the 'Florentine Filigree' set.

 

I also used some 'Crumb Cake 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon' and wrapped that around the lid of my box.

 

 And here are all the cards I created using a 'One Sheet Wonder' pattern.

   

I was able to create 14-beautiful cards......

 

 From one sheet of 12x12 'Share What You Love' DSP.

 

Each card has a Whisper White base.....

 

And the DSP is matted to a panel of Rich Razzleberry card stock.

 

  I used the 'Bitty Blooms Punch Pack' for the flowers....

 

 And each flower is embellished with a 'White Pearl'.

   

 And each Thank You sentiment is stamped from the 'Florentine Filigree' set.

 

 So there you have it friends......

A BEAUTIFUL box of cards that will make

a LOVELY gift for a very special friend.

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!

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

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

 

 How FUN is this upgraded card!!!!

 

I used the same 'Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper' for the front of my upgraded card ....... But for this upgraded version, I matted that DSP panel to a Whisper White and Shaded Spruce panel.  I also upgraded to a Granny Apple Green base card.

 

Next, I used a Shaded Spruce panel across the bottom of my card for my sentiment.  That sentiment was stamped with VersaMark ink and I sprinkled it with 'White Embossing Powder'.

 

I also upgraded each of the 'Tropical Chic' flowers by stamping them onto Whisper White card stock and then using the 'Topical Dies' to crop out each of the flowers.  I arranged my die-cut flowers onto layers of 1-3/8", 1-1/2" and 1-3/4" circles.

And for a finishing touch ...... I used my White Gel Pen to add some stitching around each of the 1-3/4" Shaded Spruce circles.

 

I must admit ........ I adore both versions of this card.

How about you?????

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 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'm loving how this card turned out.

 

I started out with a panel of the 'Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper' and adhered that to a panel of Granny Apple Green card stock.  Once both those papers were attached......I added that to a Whisper White base card.

 

I then took a panel of Granny Apple Green card stock and stamped my sentiment from the 'Tropical Chic' set directly onto that panel with Shaded Spruce ink.

 

My 'Tropical Chic' flowers were stamped with Flirty Flamingo, Melon Mambo and Rich Razzleberry ink.  I matted each of those stamped flowers onto a 1-3/8" Shaded Spruce circle ...... And then arranged all three onto my 'Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper' panel.

 

To finish this card off ...... I added a small Granny Apple Green 'Glitter Enamel Dot' to the center of each stamped flower.

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!
