Hello Friend

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

 

Here's my final alternate card project from the July 'On My Mind' Paper Pumpkin kit.

 

I used the stamp set that came with the 'On My Mind' kit and created a pretty pattern onto a Mossy Meadow card stock panel.

 

Using one of the card bases that came with this kit......I cut that pretty green card down and joined it to the top of the Mossy Meadow panel and positioned it onto a Whisper White panel.

 

I layered some circles together with a Mossy Meadow 'Story Label Punch' piece and create a beautiful sentiment piece for the center of my card.

 

Just crazy about the way this card turned out.

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!

Petal Perfect 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........

 

Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this tag!!!!

 

I started out by using the edge dies from the 'Perfect Parcel' set and adding a pretty decorative finish to the top of my Whisper White tag.

 

I also used that same die set to crop out a pretty die-cut border along the bottom of my tag.

 

The real magic of this tag was using the new 'Pressed Petals Specialty Washi Tape' to create this GORGEOUS looking flower.

 

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Parcels & Petals' set and attached to the bottom point of the layering squares.

 

To finish off my tag ...... I added a pretty bow that was created with the 'Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon' and adhered to my tag with a Glue Dot.

 

 It's comes around every now and then......

When you stop and think......

Did I just create the PERFECT little 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!

3-Butterfly Sympathy 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........

 

Today......I have the final card that my good friend Gus Berry and I created while making some much needed sympathy cards.

 

This pretty Daffodil Delight card uses the 'Brights 6"x6" Designer Series Paper'.

 

We ran our Daffodil Delight card stock panel through the die-cut machine using the 'Subtles 3D Embossing Folder'.

 

Our sentiment was stamped from the 'Lilypad Lake' set.......

 

And we used the 'Butterfly Duet Punch' to crop out three little butterfly images.

 

The finishing touch was adding some 'Whisper White 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around the top of our card and this card was good to go.

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!

Blue 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 share for today is this cute little treat box that the very talented Connie Stewart created.  This is the perfect little box to tuck some teas into (which is why Connie created it)......Or drop a handful of candies in and SURPRISE that someone special.

 

It is created using a 10-1/2" x 4-1/4" piece of Pacific Point card stock.  You score on the 10-1/2" side at 1/2, 3, 5-1/2 and 8.  Score on the 4-1/4" side at 1/2 and 3.  Snip up on the long scored end sides to create four flaps.  Snip off the two small sections on the end to create a long flap (which you will add Tear n' Tape to) and begin building your box.

 

Fold in the two long flaps and then on the two remaining flaps.......Add some White Glue and secure the bottom of your box.

 

To secure the box closed.......I added two Layering Oval pieces and added a pretty little clip to secure it all closed.

 

Add 2-stands of White Flax Ribbon.......

And a 'Flower Faceted Gem.......

And this project is done in no time flat!!!!

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!

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

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

 

 For my upgraded card ..... I added some extra splash of color.

 

That splash of color comes from the 'Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper'.  I added a panel to the top section of my Whisper White base card.......

 

And another panel to the bottom section of my card.

 

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Blooms & Grow' set and two Pacific Point stripes of card stock were added to frame in that stamped sentiment.

 

I only added one 'Perennial Flower' to the front of my upgraded card ....... But for this version, I added one of the new 'Perennial Essence Floral Centers' to the very center of my punched flower.

 

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!

Simply Wonderful

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..........

 

 Looking at this card just makes me HAPPY!!!!

 

I started out with a Whisper White base card and with Pacific Point ink ...... stamped my sentiment from the 'Bloom & Grow' set in the lower right hand corner.

 

A small panel of the 'Follow Your Art Designer Series Paper' was added to the middle of my card ..... And I added two tiny stripes of Pacific Point card stock to the top and bottom edge of that DSP panel.

 

 I used the 'Floral Essence' set to stamp three sets of flowers onto Calypso Coral card stock ......

 

 And punched each out with the 'Perennial Flower Punch'.

 

All that was left to do was add those flowers to the front of my card and top them off with a pretty Crushed Curry 1/4" circle piece for the center.

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!

Your The Best Box

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

 

Let's talk 'THINKING OUTSIDE THE PAPER PUMPKIN BOX' for my project share for today!

    

I was able to create this darling little 6"x4-1/4" box with some Night of Navy card stock .... And filled it with some of the OH SO YUMMY Cow Tales Candies.

 

Here is how I scored my Night of Navy card stock piece (Sharing a Whisper White picture here so you can see the score lines).  I scored on the long side at 2" and 2-3/4".  And at 3/4" on both ends of the short side.  Just cut up on the center two score lines to create two tabs and bring your sides together to form your little box.

 

I used the Designer Series card panels that came with this kit to cover the front and sides of my box......

 

My sentiment was stamped onto a piece of Terra Cotta card stock and positioned on the front of the box........

 

And I added some 'Terracotta Tile 1/2" Scalloped Linen Ribbon' around the box and tied it up into a pretty knot in the front.

And that my friends is how I created this fun little treat box.

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!
