Ornate Thank You

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2020-2021 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 doesn't need a stash of thank you cards???

 

This card was SO FUN to create.  I used the new 'Ornate Border Dies' to crop out a pretty Flirty Flamingo topper. 

 

And I used the new 'Gilded Gems' to fill in the center of each die-cut flower ...... Along with sprinkling a few of those gems around the front of my card.

My sentiment was stamped from the new 'Ornate Thanks' stamp set ...... And I used Flirty Flamingo ink to stamp that sentiment.

 And there you have it friends.....

Can you even image it in other colors!!!

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!

Happy Father's Day

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 April, 'My Wonderful Family' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

 This card was SO MUCH FUN to create! 

 

I started out with a Whisper White note card and added on of the panels from this kit to the front.  I used the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' to create the pretty Shaded Spruce scallop edge on both edges of my card.

 

Some White Baker's Twine was added to the top of my card.......and I tied it up into a pretty double bow.

 

The pretty Shaded Spruce squares were created with the 'Layering Squares Dies' and I added single leaf punched pieces to the center of each layered square.

 

 My sentiment was stamped from the set in this kit.....

 

And that's all it took to create this final alternative card from the April Paper Pumpkin kit.

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!

Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

I started this tag off with three panels of the 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' that were positioned onto an Old Olive base tag.

 

Next, I stamped my sentiment from the 'Peaceful Moments' set onto a Calypso Coral frame that was punched out using the 'Story Label Punch'.

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........

 

With several of the Stampin' UP! Circle Punches retiring in a few short days.......I felt this was the perfect card to 'THANK THOSE CIRCLE PUNCHES' for all their hard work over the years.

 

This card start out with the new 'Ornate Thanks' set that is stamped with Terracotta Tile ink in the lower left hand corner of my Whisper White base card.

 

Next, I grabbed my 2-1/4", 2" and 1-1/2" (not retiring) Circle Punches along with my 1-3/4" and 1" (yes retiring) Circle Punches and started punching.  I used the new 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' to crop out a circle in each of those sizes. 

 

After adhering those circles onto the front of my card ...... I used my Terracotta Stampin' Write Marker and added some stitching lines around all five circles.

 

The finishing touch was adding some new 'Gilded Gems' around the front of my card......

 

And this card was done in no time flat.

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!

Just A Note Post-It-Note Holder

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3-D TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created and want to share that project with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

Check out this FUN little Post-It-Note Holder that I had my 'Card In A Box' ladies create (before the Covid-19 Lock Down).

 

This project starts out with two 3-1/2" x 3-1/2" coasters.  We covered those coaster with 'From My Heart Designer Series Paper'......

 

And then covered the inside with a piece of Flirty Flamingo card stock that measured 6-3/4' x 3-1/4" and it was scored at 3-1/4" on both ends.

 

 And we used a "Just a Note" stamp that was in my stash.......

Daisy Friends 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 made a few changes 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 upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM.....

 

The first change I made to my upgraded card was changing the orientation from a Portrait style card to a Landscape style card.

 

I also used my 'Simply Score Board' to create an embossed frame for my Daisy flowers to be centered into.

 

My sentiment was stamped at the bottom of my card using the 'Peaceful Moments' stamp set and Crushed Curry ink.

 

I created my Daisy Flowers with the same 'Daisy Punch' and the 'Medium Daisy Punch' ....... But for this upgraded version, I added a couple extra layers to my flowers.

 

I also added some 'Fine Tip Glue to the center of each Daisy Flower for a shiny center.

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!

Daisy Friends

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 that is being carried over to the 2020-2021 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..........

 

 Who doesn't LOVE daisies......

And nothings better than TWO Daisies!!!

 

This card is so QUICK & EASY to create.  You will stamp your sentiment (I used 'Peaceful Moments') in the center of your Whisper White base card.

 

Next, I created two PRETTY daisies.

 

I used both the 'Daisy Punch' and the 'Medium Daisy Punch' to create a two tone daisy.  After I had my daisy flower completed......I added a punched piece from the 'Leaf Punch' and tucked that behind each of the daisies.

 

And that's all it took my friends!!!

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 Paper Pumpkin Style

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 April, 'My Wonderful Family' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

For this DARLING little cookie pouch.......I used one of the envelopes that were included in the April Paper Pumpkin kit.  I scored the envelope at 3/4" on 3-sides.

 

I used the original fold to create the top of my pouch......

 

 And added a 'Layering Circle' piece to be the closure for my cookie pouch.

 

I added one of the leaf die-cut pieces to the front of my 'Layering Circle' pieces and stamped my sentiment at the top.  To finish off my circle.......I added a pretty 'Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding' ribbon to the front.

 

Here you can see how the pouch flaps opens......

 

And the yummy homemade cookie pulls out.

 

I wrapped my homemade chocolate chip cookie into a cello bag and adhered it to a Shaded Spruce card stock piece.

  

I used a mini/thin magnetic to secure my pouch......

 

 And that allowed for the packaging not to be destroyed.

 

So there you have another alternative projects made from the April Paper Pumpkin kit.

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!
