Butterfly 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........

 

The new In-Color Cinnamon Cider is quickly becoming

one of my favorite colors.

I used Cinnamon Cider ink and card stock to create this tag.

 

My butterflies from the 'Butterfly Wishes' set was stamped 3-times and then punched out with a 1" circle punch.  I then used the 'Tasteful Labels' to crop out three scallop edge circles ...... and married those two pieces together.

 

My sentiment banner flag was also stamped three times ........ and I used the 'Four Season Floral' set to create those flags.  I used the same 'Tasteful Labels Dies' to crop all three banner flags out.  It was then easy just popping those banner flags behind each of the butterfly circles.

 

My tag was topped off with some of the Whisper White ribbon in the 'Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack'.  And I used the Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends to color that ribbon in.

 

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

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

Can you image how pretty they would be.......

In all the new 2020-2022 In-Color collection.

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........

 

Check out this GORGEOUS POSIES Project Kit that I created.  It's on page 8 of the new 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.

 

And if the pretty designer box wasn't enough ....... Inside are supplies for you to make 16-cards.

 

And each card has a BEAUTIFUL coordinating envelope.

 

There are 4-different designs......

 

Each card has some AMAZING layers......

 

Along with BEAUTIFUL embellishments.

 

The only additional item I purchased was the 'Gorgeous Posies' stamp set ....... And that was a steal at $19.00.

I think when completed........

This pretty box of cards would be a LOVELY gift.

3x3 Acetate Box

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is a '3D TUESDAY' project.  That means I have a fun little 3-D project that I created and I would like to share that project with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create ...... so let's jump right in and check out that project.

 

Have you seen the new 3-1/8" x 3-1/8" Acetate Card Boxes in the new Stampin' UP! Catalog?

 

These little boxes made the PERFECT little packaging for a special little gift.

 

I filled my Acetate Box with 4-DARLING little note cards and coordinating envelopes.

 

I started out with a Whisper White 3" x 6" card that was scored at 3" ....... And that gave me the starting point for my cards.

 

I covered the bottom of each card with a piece of 3" x 1-3/4" 'Playing With Patterns Designer Series Paper'.

My sentiment and balloons were also stamped from the 'Monogram Messages' set ...... And I used the 'Lovely Labels Pick a Punch' to create the sentiment labels.

  

I positioned the cards in the front of the acetate box and then made sure the decorated envelopes were showing out through the backside of the box.

 

My ribbon is from the 'Flowers For Every Season Ribbon Combo Pack'.  And I used the white ribbon and my Calypso Coral Stampin' Blends to color that ribbon in.  This gave me the ability to complete coordinate my acetate box.

    

Just thrilled with the way this project turned out.

And I'm excited about making a few more of these for gifts.

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!

Perfect 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 I 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.....

 

Well.....I was so IN LOVE with my card from yesterday.......That I must admit my card for today takes me up one additional level of HAPPY!!!

 

I changed up the orientation for my card for today ...... And that means I was able to change up the size of my Designer Series panels.  This upgraded card uses four Designer Series panels that measure 3/4" each.

 

My sentiment also got an upgrade ..... I stamped my sentiment from the 'Sending Sunshine' set onto a Whisper White panel and then used the 'Hippo & Friends Dies' to crop that label out.

 

My flowers were again punched from the 'Small Bloom Punch' and I filled the center of each flower with a 'Elegant Faceted Gem'.

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

Two pretty and happy looking cards.

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!

Perfect Day

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..........

 

This is one of those cards.......

That just makes me feel Happy!!!

 

I started out with a Whisper White base card.  I stamped my sentiment from the 'Sending Sunshine' set with Pretty Peacock ink in the lower right hand corner.

 

Then I got busy cutting up four 1/4" panels of Designer Series Paper.  I used Magenta Madness, So Saffron, Pretty Peacock and Balmy Blue.

 

All four panels of Designer Series Paper were positioned down the left hand side of my card.

 

Then I punched out 'Small Bloom Punch' flowers and sprinkled those down the top of the DSP panel.

 

Results.......Perfection!!!!

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!

Smile Sun Alternate Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you another alternate project I created using the June 'Box of Sunshine' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

Gotta say ...... This card really deliveries a smile!!!

The sun die-cut piece that was included in this kit was added to the center of one of the cards in this kit.

 

I added one of the polka-dot stickers that came with this kit to the bottom portion of my card.....

 

And stamped my sentiment onto the pretty label (that also came with this kit).

 

The one additional product I added to this card was tucking some 'Forever Greenery Gold Trim' behind the sentiment label ....... And that one additional product really stepped this card up to the next level.

 

I did use my 'Dark Cajun Craze Stampin' Blends' on each of the sequins ....... And that helped the sun die-cut piece really POP!

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!
