Thank You Flower 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 TOP.....

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

 

My first change to this upgraded card was changing the orientation of my card from landscape to portrait position.

 

I also changed my base card from a Whisper White card ...... To a Petal Pink card.  The panel for the front of my card was changed to Whisper White and I also used the 'Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper' to complete that look.

 

I did keep the 'Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon' and added it to the very top of my card.

 

My sentiment panel was changed up BIG TIME.  I stamped my sentiment (from the Magnolia Blooms set) three times and arranged those three pieces down the front of my card.

 

And the finishing touch to completing each little sentiment square ....... I added a single 'Frosted Flower Embellishment' to the top and bottom sentiment squares.

 

 So there you have it 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 Flower

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..........

 

I'm totally diggin' how pretty this card is.

 

I started out by adding a panel of Petal Pink and 'Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper' together.  Before I adhered that panel down to my Whisper White base card ....... I wrapped some 'Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon' around the center.  All that was left to do was adhere that completed panel to my Whisper White base card.

 

Next, I created a pretty sentiment panel.  I cut out three layers of squares (Soft Suede, Pool Party and Whisper White card stock).  I stacked those layers together and stamped my sentiment from the 'Magnolia Blooms' set into the center of the Whisper White panel.

 

To finish off the sentiment panel ...... I added two 'Frosted Flower Embellishment' to the top and bottom.

 

And that's all it took my friends to create this pretty card.

What do you think????

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!

Thankful For Friends

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

 

Here's my final card share using the Gift of Fall kit.

 

I started out with a Pretty Peacock base card and cut one of the pattern papers in this kit into a large banner flag for the center of my card.

 

I added a panel of Rich Razzleberry across the width of my card and then positioned my banner flag to my card.

 

 My sentiment was created with many of the pieces that came with this kit.....

 

And I used my White Gel Pen to stitch around the outer edges of my Rich Razzleberry panel and the banner flag.  SO HAPPY with 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!

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'm just crazy about the way this tag turned out.

 

I started out by adding two pieces of the 'Bird Ballad Designer Series' paper to the top and bottom portion of my tag.  I simply tore one edge of each piece of Designer Series Paper to create the perfect spot to stamp my sentiment.

 

I used the 'Vibrant Vases' set to stamp my sentiment......And that sentiment fix perfectly in the white space left between the two pieces of Designer Series Paper.

 

My bird was cut out from the 'Bird Ballad Designer Series Paper'.......And I used the die branch from the 'Colorful Seasons Dies' to position my little birdie on.

 

 I topped off my tag with some 'Mint Macaron 1/4" Textile Ribbon'.....

 

And finished off my tag with some 'Silver Metallic Pearls'.

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!

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........

 

How FUN is this celebrate card!!!!

I spotted this card on Pinterest and had to create one for my own. 

 

I used the 'Vibrant Vases' set to stamp my sentiment onto my Whisper White base card......

 

And then got busy creating my Posy Flowers.

 

 I used several circle punches to create my Posy Flowers.

(1" and 1-1/2", also 1" and 3/4")

 

My leaf pieces were created with the 'Leaf Punch'.....

 

And I added some 'Noble Peacock Rhinestones' to help make my Posy Flowers SHINE PRETTY!!!

 

 My color combinations were Melon Mambo and Petal Pink,

Bermuda Bay and Coastal Cabana,

And Gorgeous Grape and Highland Heather.

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!

Purse for a Friend.

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 this week is this ADORABLE little purse that Angelina from Intatwyne Designs created back in 2018.  I stumbled across this project as I was hanging out on Pinterest one day.   She created this project on 6/8/18.  Here is her blog:  https://intatwynedesigns.co.uk/intatwynedesigns/ 

 

This little purse is created with a 6x6 piece of Designer Series Paper.  You score your DSP at 2-1/2" and 3-1/2".  Turn your DSP once and score at 1-1/2" and 4-1/2".

 

Here is what your purse will look like when you have all the scoring done and the sides adhered down. 

 

To create the top flap ..... I used the 2nd largest 'Stitched Frame Die' and adhered one side to the box of my purse and punched holes to thread some 'Lovely Lipstick 1/8" Grosgrain Ribbon' through.

 

The finishing touch was adding a sweet sentiment from the 'A Little Lace' set and adhering that to the bottom right hand corner of my purse. 

 

Couldn't be any easier to create this little purse.......

And think it would look perfect on a ladies luncheon gathering.

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!

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.

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

Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today on BOTTOM.....

 

You might be looking at my card for today and wondering SHOW ME THE UPGRADES.  Well they are slight and somewhat hidden to the casual eye.

 

My first upgrade was stepping up the sentiment.  I used the same set from the 'For The Love of Felt' set ....... But for my upgraded version I pulled out the VersaMark and Black Embossing Powder and really STEPPED UP my sentiment.

 

Next, I added the 'See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper' to the center of my card ...... But for my upgraded version.....I only added the 'Poppy Parade 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' around the left hand edge of that DSP.

 

To really upgrade my card for today........I used my 'Simply Score Board' and created a triple score line to the top and bottom edge of my DSP.  

 

I also added the trio of butterflies from the 'Butterfly Duet Punch' and added the trail behind the two tiny butterflies for some added fun.

 

 So there you have it friends......

Creating these two Fun & Sassy cards was super easy.

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 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..........

 

Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this bright happy card!!!

I started out by stamping my sentiment from the stamp set in the 'For the Love of Felt' set.  I stamped that in the lower right hand corner of my Whisper White base card.

 

Next, I added a panel of the 'See A Silhouette Designer Series Paper' to some Poppy Parade card stock.  Before I adhered that panel down to the middle of my card ...... I wrapped some 'Poppy Parade 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' to the center of that panel.

 

I punched out three butterflies from the 'Butterfly Duet Punch' and positioned those to the top of my card.......And even added a butterfly trail to the two small butterflies.

And that's all it took to bring this card together.

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!
