My Friend Post-It-Note Cube

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 I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

When it comes to creating 3-D projects ..... my go to CASE has to be the very talented Sally Stamper.  She created this project on her blog March 26, 2020 ..... And I fell in LOVE with what she shared.  Here's a link to her blog post:  http://sallystampers.com/2020/03/26/cute-little-cube/  

I used the new Just Jade card stock to create my cube ....... And decorated the top and sides with the new '2020-2022 In-Color Designer Series Paper'.

 

My sentiment piece was created with the 'Tasteful Labels Dies' and I used the 'Field of Flowers' for my message.

 

The new 'Just Jade 1/4" Ribbon' was used to secure my little box closed.....

 

And when you open the cube.......Inside I have tucked four colorful little 1-1/2" x 3" Post-It-Notes.

 

Could it be any cutier???

 

As you can see from this photo ....... Sally has designed the cube to have a flip style lid.  I have to admit ....... That was the part of this project that I LOVED the most.

 

 This project comes together really quickly.....

And I can't wait to make some for several of my friends.

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 2020-2021 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 LEFT.....

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

 

My first upgrade I made for my card today was changing the base card from a Bumblebee to a Whisper White card.

 

I added three 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' banner flags running down the center of my upgraded card......

 

And then printed off my sentiment from the 'Share Sunshine PDF Download' onto Whisper White card stock and I used the 'Story Label Punch' to crop that sentiment out.

 

The finishing touch was adding three 'Gilded Gems' below each of the banner flags ...... and this upgraded card was done in a JIFFY!!!

So what do you think?????

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 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..........

 

I figured if I'm going to give the message to anyone to "STAY HOME"........I wanted to make it as cheerful as possible.  And I think I nailed it with this Bumblebee card.

 

I started off with a Bumblebee base card and added a 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' panel to the left hand side of my card.

 

Next, I printed off my sentiment piece from the 'Share Sunshine PDF Download' onto a Whisper White panel.  Then I got busy and created a Terracotta Tile and Old Olive layering behind it.

 

 Nothing flashy or over-the-top with this card.......

Just a heartfelt message to someone special.

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!

Love You Box

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the alternate  project I created using the April 'A Kit In-Color' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

One of my FAVORITE things to do is make a sweet little project for my Jack.  It's difficult to buy a gift for a guy who ask for NOTHING........But deserve EVERYTHING.  So this little box was the PERFECT little Father's Day gift to make for Jack. 

 

And what I tucked inside was going to be something SPECIAL for him. 

 

I used the stamp set and Baker's Twine that was included in this kit to decorate the top.   And the box itself is one of the cards that was included in the kit.  All I did was cut and score that card down to create this little gift box.

 

Then I got busy creating little "I Love You Cuz" tags.

 

I let my heart pour out with all those reasons I LOVE this guy....... 

 

I eventually had to stop at nine ....... And that's mainly because I was running out of space to make any more tags fit into this box.

 

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

A special little heartfelt Father's Day gift for Jack.

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!

Being Friends

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........

 

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

 

I used the new Cinnamon Cider card stock to stamp two hearts from the 'Heartfelt' set.  The 'Heart Punch' made cropping out both of the hearts so easy.  My single heart was created with the '2020-2022 In Color Designer Series Paper' and the 'Heart Punch'.  Then I used the 'Scallop Heart Punch' and some Cinnamon Cider card stock to create a pretty layered look for that heart.

 

My sentiment is from the 'Heartfelt' set and I create a fun little arrow by using two stamps from that set ...... And using my Paper Snips to crop out that arrow.

 

My tag was finished off with some of the OH SO YUMMY 'Cinnamon Cider 1/4" Ribbon......

 

 And this tag was done in a HOT New York minute.

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!

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........

 

 How sweet is this single word message.

 

I started off by adhering a panel of the 'Field of Flowers Designer Series Paper' to the front of a Whisper White base card.

 

Before I adhered that DSP panel down to my card......I wrapped some 'Just Jade Ribbon' around my base card and then got to work to create my sentiment piece.

 

The sentiment piece uses the 'Field of Flowers' set that was stamped with Just Jade ink onto a Whisper White 'Layering Square' piece........And a Just Jade scallop square was created for my stamped sentiment to sit upon. 

 

Three little butterflies were punched out using the 'Butterfly Duet Punch' ..... And a set of 'Champagne Rhinestones' were added to the center of each little butterfly.

 

Just crazy about the way this card turned out......

What do you think????

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!

Life Is Better Purse

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 I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

Check out this GORGEOUS little One Sheet Wonder Purse I created ........ With the help of the very talented LeAnn Greff and her super awesome video that she shared on her blog (March 30 2020).  Here is the link to that post:  

https://flowerbug.typepad.com/my_weblog/2020/03/one-sheet-purse-mini-album-double-free-sale-a-bration-choices-ends-tomorrow.html 

  

To create this little cutie ....... I used the new 'Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper' for the base of my purse.

 

The new 'Tasteful Labels Dies' created the label piece ...... And the 'Small Bloom Punched' was used to create the pretty little flowers on the front.

 

 The purse closes up with a tiny Velcro closure.....

 

 And the inside is PACKED FULL with 8-pages.....

  

 And also has 2-top pockets that hold 2-additional pictures.....

 

 And one side pocket that spot-lights 2-more pictures.

 

 I have to admit.......

This little purse makes for a great little photo album.

Thanks LeAnn for the inspiration.

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!

Just Breath 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 2020-2021 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.... 

 

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

 

I also changed up my card base to a Terracotta Tile card......And added a full panel of the 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' to the front of my card.

 

I used the same 'Share Sunshine PDF Download' for my sentiment.  For this version I printed the sentiment onto a square panel and then embellished behind it with the 'Tasteful Labels'.

 

I also added an 'Old Olive Ornate Garden Ribbon' across the top of my card and that's all it took to upgrade this "Just Breathe" card.

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!
