Mini Easter Gift

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 project is my version of a FUN little 6-Pack Box that Frenchie Stamps posted on her blog last week (3/20/2020).  I tweaked it a tad and designed it as a Mini Easter Gift Treat for my 2-daughters and my cleaning lady and her daughter.  Check out what I created......

 

Each of these boxes are a piece of card stock that measures 4-1/2"x 3-3/4".  I scored on the long side at 3/4" on both sides.  Then on the shorter side I scored at 1-1/2" and 2-1/4".

 

I used the 'Welcome Easter' set and added the 'Medium Daisy' punch behind the head of the little chick.  (Thanks Frenchie for sharing this idea with us.)

 

Each little Mini Easter Treat Gift uses a piece of Designer Series Paper that measures 1-1/4"x8".......

 

And that Designer Series Paper is wrapped around each of the Mini Treat boxes.

 

The sentiment is stamped from the 'Itty Bitty Greetings' set......

 

And I just snipped out each of the sentiments.

 

For the inside of each little treat holder.....I added four little Hershey Chocolate Bunnies......

 

 And I topped each handle with some pretty spring colored ribbon.

 

Just know the girls are going to LOVE these little treats......

What do you think of them??????

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!

Celebrate The 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's my Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT......

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

 

I'm just crazy about the way this upgraded turned out.

 

I started off with the same 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper' on the left hand edge of my Whisper White base card.

 

But before I adhered that panel down to my card......I wrapped some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around the top and tied it off into a pretty bow. 

 

I used the large flower in the 'Band Together' set and stamped that image directly onto the right hand side of my Whisper White base card.   I did stamp that image with VersaMark and Blackberry Bliss ink.......and then quickly covered the image with 'Clear Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.

 

My Aqua Painter and some Blackberry ink created the soft coloring on both flowers.  The center was a cluster of 'Pearls' that had been colored with my 'Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends'.

 

I used VersaMark and Blackberry Bliss ink to stamp my sentiment.......And then sprinkled that with 'Clear Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.

So tell me what you think my friends........

Didn't both of these turn out GREAT!!!!

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!

Celebrate The 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 and Mini 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..........

 

Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this card.

 

I started this card off with a panel of the GORGEOUS 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper'.  I positioned that panel on the left hand edge of my Whisper White base card.

 

My sentiment was stamped with the 'Band Together' set and I used the 'Detailed Band Dies' to complete that sentiment piece.

 

I colored three 'Pearls' in with my 'Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends' ....... And then arranged them onto the front of my card.

 

And that's all it took to create this LOVELY 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!

Cookie Pouch

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 Lovely Day Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

Check out this SUPER FUN cookie pouch that I created using one of the cards that came with this kit.

 

I started out by adhering the flap over piece from one of the Rococo Rose cards in this kit together.  This gave me the base for my pouch.

 

Next........I die-cut a circle out on the bottom panel of my card........And then created a scallop circle from some 2019-2021 In Color Designer Series Paper that I added around the die-cut circle.

 

My sentiment flag was created from the set in this kit.....

And I added some 'Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon' and some 'Petal Pink 1/4" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' to the top of my pouch..

 

That ribbon ties up so nicely........And added that touch of PRETTY I was hoping to create.

 

 Just couldn't be happier with the way this project 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!

Dual Coffee Cup

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 some pretty AMAZING friends........

But those who are fellow Starbucks coffee drinkers (you know who you are) are the ones I always have time to hang out with.  This is the PERFECT little tag to make for those very friends. 

 

I started this tag off with a Crumb Cake base tag.  I stamped my sentiment at the very bottom of that tag.  And I used the 'Rise & Shine' set along with Versamark and Early Espresso ink.  I then sprinkled it with 'Clear Embossing Powder' and that gave me the HOLY WOW FACTOR I was hoping for. I also used the 'Subtles Embossing Folder' on my Crumb Cake tag to add that little texture I was hoping for.

 

My two cups of coffee were created with the 'Rise & Shine' set and I used my 'Cup of Cheers Dies' (Still available from the Holiday Catalog) to crop those little cups out.

I also added some DELISH steam coming out the top of each cup. 

 

I grabbed my Crumb Cake Stampin' Write Marker and created some trio dots around my tag.....

 

And finished my tag off with some 'Braided Burlap Trim' and tied a pretty 'Linen Thread' bow to the top.

 

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

Know it's going to make someone SMILE BIG!!!!!

 

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!

Kerchief Cards

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........

 

One of my favorite freebie offered with the 2020 Sale-a-Bration promotion just has to be the 'Kerchief Card Kit'.  Even though this item has sold out.........I'm SO HAPPY that I cashed in my Sale-a-Bration rewards for a few extra of this kit.

 

Check out this BEAUTIFUL Coastal Cabana card I created with this kit.

 

 Just ADORE the sentiment on this card.

 

And this PRETTY Poppy Parade card says it all.

 

 The embellishments for this card are just FABULOUS.

Going to create a few Coastal Cabana and Poppy Parade boxes and make a few FANTASTIC gifts up for some friends.

Basha's Easter Baskets

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.

 

Every holiday......I create some type of special treat for my three favorite gals at our local grocery store (Basha's).  This year I spotted a DARLING little Easter basket that Chris Slogar from Buckeye Inkling created back on 2/28/19 and I knew this basket would be PERFECT for these 3-special ladies.

 

I created a Coastal Cabana basket.....

 

 A Daffodil Delight basket.....

 A Melon Mambo basket....

 

And this Gorgeous Grape basket (for Jack).

 

Each basket uses a 3-3/4"x3-3/4" piece of card stock (for the bottom) that is scored at 1/2" on all four sides.

 

The card stock trim around the top of each basket......And the handle is a 1/2"x11" piece of card stock.

 

And the Designer Series Paper (that wraps around the bottom base) is two pieces that measures 2"x6". 

 

I used the 'Welcome Easter' set to create this DARLING bunny pick.....

 

 And that's all it took to create these ADORABLE Easter Baskets.

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!
