You've Really Outdone Yourself

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........

 

Anyone who knows me........Can verify that I'm not a green kind of gal.....

But that all changed when I got my hands on the 'Garden Lane Designer Series Paper'.

 

I used that Designer Series Paper to completely cover my Whisper White card......

 

My sentiment was stamped using the 'Sweetly Swirl' set along with the 'Detailed Bands Dies'.

 

I layered that stamped sentiment onto a panel of Mossy Meadow......

 

And created the most darling little daisy with the 'Medium Daisy Punch'.  I think my favorite part of the flower is the 'Perennial Essence Floral Center' that just makes that daisy POP off my card.

 

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

My new love affair with the color green!!!!!

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!

Let's Celebrate You Box

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.

My CASE for today is a darling little project that Debbie Henderson shared on her blog back in June.  https://debbiesdesignsblog.blogspot.com/2019/06/bingo-event-make-take-projects-with.html

The moment I saw this project.......I knew it would look FABULOUS with the new 'Noble Peacock Designer Series Paper'.

 

The base for this box is a 9-1/2"x12" piece of 'Noble Peacock Designer Series Paper'.  I scored the short side at 2" on both ends.  The long side was scored at 1", 3", 6-1/2" and 8-1/2".

 

Use your Paper Snips to clip out the tabs for your box......

 

And a Bone Folder will be your best friend when it comes to making your score lines nice a crisp.

 

Here is were I added my Tear n' Tape....

 

And the box just couldn't be any easier to assemble.

 

I created a belly band with a piece of the 'Noble Peacock Foil Paper'.  That piece measures 1"x12".  I didn't score this piece.......Instead I just wrapped it around the box and pinched the edges before adhering the two ends together.

 

I used the 'Tag & More Accessory Kit for my sentiment label.

 

And the sentiment was stamped with the 'Bloom & Grow' set.

 

Just couldn't be happier with the way this box turned out.

Thanks Debbie for the inspiration and starting off point!!!

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!

It's Your Day 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 2019-2020 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 TOP....

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

 

To start my upgraded card out ...... I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape.

 

I used the same 'Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper'......but for this upgraded card, I layered it onto panels of Crushed Curry and Pool Party card stock.

I also added some of the new 'Crushed Curry Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon' around the right hand edge of my Designer Series Paper panel.

 

My cake was stamped and then sprinkled with 'Clear Embossing Powder' and that gave me the little bit of shine I was looking for in this upgraded card.

And that's all it took to upgrade a Quick & Easy kind of card.......to a Now & WOW kind of card.

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!

It's Your Day

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2019-2020 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

 

Today we are talking about creating a QUICK & EASY kind of card.

 

I added a panel of the 'Bird Ballard Designer Series Paper' down the left hand edge of my Whisper White Note Card.......

 

And then stamped my cake image onto a panel of Whisper White card stock using the 'Celebrate With Cake' set.   I matted that image to a panel of Pool Party card stock......And added it to the center of my note card.

 

I added some Crushed Curry Stampin' Write Marker stitched lines around my card......

 

And this card was done in RECORD BREAKING TIME!!!

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!

Tropical Pencil Holder

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

 

How fun is this little pencil holder!!!!

 

I started out with a Soft Suede base that measure 5-1/2"x1-3/4".  To create the pocket, I added a Crumb Cake piece that measured 4-1/8"x2-1/2" and that was scored on three sides at 3/8". And I adhered the three sides of that scored Crumb Cake piece directly over the Soft Suede base piece.

 

I cut down one of the cards in the June kit and used it for my Designer Series Paper on the front of my holder.  That piece measure 3-1/2"x1-1/2".  Before I adhered that piece down.....I stamped my sentiment from the set that was included in the June kit at the bottom of my Designer Series Paper piece.

 

One of the palm trees (also from the kit) was added to the front of my holder......And I used the Glue Dots that were included in this kit for the coconuts.

 

So what do you think?????

Think these would be great Back To School gifts for Twoie to take to his first grade class this fall!!!

 

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!

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........

 

Who doesn't LOVE a pretty Flirty Flamingo tag!!!!

 

I started out with a Flirty Flamingo base tag and added some Flirty Flamingo Designer Series Paper down the center of this tag.

 

I used the 'Petal Labels Dies' to crop out a pretty Whisper White label......And then used the 'Path of Petals' set to stamp my best wishes sentiment in the center.

 

My tag was topped off with some 'Whisper White 5/8" Polka Dot Tulle Ribbon'.  And I tied it up into a pretty bow before adhering it down to the top of my tag.

 

Three little 'Pearl Basic Jewels' were added to the bottom of Designer Series Paper.....

 

And that's all it took to create this SUPER PRETTY gift 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!

I LOVE Stampin'

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 my June Downline Team cards that went out to my team members for Sales and Promotions.

 

I used the 'Magnolia Lane Suite' to create each of these cards.

 

And the 'Ride With Me' set was the perfect sentiment to use.

 

Each of my magnolia flowers were from the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper' and I used the 'Magnolia Memory Dies' to crop each of the pretty flowers out.

Such a pretty card for some SUPER AMAZING team members.
