Deck The Halls 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 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 

Here is my Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT......

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

 

My first upgrade was to change my card from a landscape style card...….To a Portrait style card.

 

My base card was changed to Whisper White and I layered a Shaded Spruce layer on top of that.

Next, I added three panels of 'Tis The Season Designer Series Paper' and Real Red card stock to the front of my card.

 

My sentiment piece was created using the 'Layering Circle Dies' and adding a 'Stitched So Sweetly Die' to the top.  I used the 'Christmas Gleaming' set and some Shaded Spruce ink to stamp my sentiment.

 

The final touch I added to this upgraded card was wrapping some 'Wonder of the Season Ribbon' around the center of my DSP and adhering my sentiment piece over it.

 

So tell me what you think 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!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini 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..........

 

Talk about creating a TRADITIONAL Red & Green Holiday card.....

I think I nailed this one.

I started this card off with a Shaded Spruce base card.

Next, I added two panels of the 'Tis The Season Designer Series Paper' to the front of my card.

 

I created the perfect sentiment piece by using the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' along with the 'Christmas Gleaming' set.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Sequins For Everything' around the front of my card ……. And this card was done in a RED HOT minute.

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 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 Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

How FUN is this little note card!!!!

 

I added three layering panels (Night of Navy, Calypso Coral and Whisper White) to the front of my Whisper White note card ....... And then, I cut down one of the postcards that were included in this kit to 2-3/4"x4-1/4".

 

I adhered one of the die-cut pieces included in this kit to the front of my card ......... and I used the 'Detailed Hearts Die' to crop out eight little hearts to add to this die-cut piece.

 

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Banner Year' set and I added two more little hearts to frame out that sentiment.

 

The final touch was adding some 'Fine Tip Glue' to each of the little hearts ....... And that gave each of the hearts something to shine about.

 

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!

Friends Friday

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

My normal Friends Friday is being interrupted for today.  I want to share with you a GORGEOUS gift I received from Stampin' UP!. 

When I received this Turquoise Box from Stampin' UP! last week ........ I actually SQUEALED with HAPPY.  Mainly because I know hands down what that Turquoise Box represents.

And I pulled back the ribbon.......And SURE ENOUGH........

It was a Tiffany & Co box.

I must admit......I was pretty happy just receiving a Tiffany & Co box.

So I tore into it and was SHOCKED at what I found.

  

TWO beautiful Tiffany Champagne Flutes.

Holly 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........

 

I just couldn't be happier with the way this tag turned out.  I was going for pretty and I ended up with Pretty......Festive.....And Fun.

 

I started out with a Whisper White base tag and stamped my sentiment ...... From the 'Wrapped in Christmas' set at the bottom of my tag.  I used Real Red ink to stamp that sentiment.

 

Next, I added some 'Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper' to the top of my tag ……. And I added a 1/4" Real Red piece across the bottom edge.

 

My holly was stamped from the 'Christmas Gleaming' set and I used my 'Stampin' Blends' to color that pretty piece in.

 

My tag was topped off with some 'All The Trimming Ribbon' and I tied it up into a pretty bow for an added extra WOW FACTOR.

 

The finishing touch for my tag was adding three little 'Gold Metallic Pearls' around the bottom Whisper White section.

 

So there you have it friends...….

One of my favorite holiday tags yet.

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!

Christmas Blesings

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........

I have to admit......

This was a SUPER FUN card to create.

 

I started off with a Whisper White base card ……. Next I used the 'Wrapped in Christmas' set and stamped my sentiment directly onto the top portion of my Whisper White card.

 

Next, I added two pretty Red 'Wonderful Gems' to both side of my stamped sentiment.

 

Then I cut a panel of 'Heartfelt Hugs Designer Series Paper' and positioned that directly down the center of my card.

 

I added six little banner flag DSP pieces to the bottom of that panel and created fishtails to each of the little DSP flags.

 

And that's all it took to bring this

SUPER HAPPY Holiday card together.

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!

Reindeer Food Tin

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

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

 

Have you seen the new 'Round Tins' in the Holiday Mini Catalog???

 

I decided to create a FUN little Magical Reindeer Food' package for my youngest grandson Twoie with one of these little tins.

I started out by wrapping some 'Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper' around the base of my tin.  Then I added some 'Real Red 3/8" Satin Ribbon around my tin and tied it up into a pretty bow.

 

Next, I used my computer and created a "Magical Reindeer Food" poem and used the 'Tasteful Labels Dies' to crop that poem out.  I also used the 'Layering Circle Dies' to create a pretty Real Red scallop piece ..... And the reindeer from the 'Warm & Toasty' set was added to the top of my tin.

 

I filled my tin with Oatmeal and Red magical beans ……. And this little Christmas Even treat will be ready for Twoie to sprinkle out on his front lawn.

 

 So what do you think my friends......

Isn't it just ADORABLE!!!

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!

You Are The Best 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 on the LEFT.....

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

 

My first upgrade was to change the orientation of my card from Portrait to Landscape.

 

Next, I ran my Cherry Cobbler panel through my die-cut machine and used the 'Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder' to give it LOTS of texture.  I adhered that embossed Cherry Cobbler piece to my Whisper White base card.  Then I stamped my sentiment from the 'Tasteful Touches' set onto a panel of Whisper White card stock and tucked that piece directly onto my Cherry Cobbler piece.

 

I positioned a panel of the 'Plaid Tidings Designer Series Paper' to the left side of my card.....

 

And before adhering that panel down...….I added some of the Whisper White ribbon in the 'Flowers For Every Season Combo Pack'.  I used my 'Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Blends' to change that ribbon from Whisper White to Cherry Cobbler......BRILLIANT and BEAUTIFUL.

 

My two 'Perennial Flowers' were accented with a pretty flower right in the center …… And that flower was die-cut from the 'Many Layers Bloom Dies'.

So what do you think my friends...….

Do you have a favorite?????
