Pumpkin Thanks

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 September 'Hello Pumpkin' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

I started this card off with a Very Vanilla note card.

I used one of the cracker boxes that came with this kit and cut it down to fit my note card.  I positioned a piece of that to the top and bottom edges of my note card...... And this gave me instant Designer Series Paper.

My center is two of the laser-cut pieces that came with the kit and I positioned those across the center of my note card.

I added one of the pumpkin die-cut pieces to the center of my card (this helped to hide the joining of the two laser-cut pieces) ..... And then I added two "Thanks" banner flags on both sides of the die-cut pumpkins.

I used my Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color in a dozen 'Metallic Pearls' and those were added to the top and bottom DSP panels on this card.

And that's all it took my friends to create this pretty thanks card.

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!

Three Little Boo Ghost

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........

Looking for a SUPER QUICK & EASY Halloween tag.  Stop right here and check out these three ADORABLE little boo tags.

All it takes to create these little Boo Ghost tags is a small tag that has the 'Banner Year' Boo sentiment stamped in the lower right hand corner.

I added a set of eyes......Made from some circle punches.  I added some 'Fine Tip Glue' to the black circles and that really made the eyes pop for real.

My tags were topped off with some 'Black Glittered 3/8" Organdy Ribbon' and tied off with a pretty little Whisper White bow from the 'Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack'.

So there you have it friends.....

Just doesn't get any easier!!!!

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 started out with a Basic Black base card.

I used the 'Cob Web Embossing Folder' on the front of my Basic Black base card ...... And that just created the PERFECT background I was looking for on this card.

I created two 'Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper' panels and backed those two panels with a Whisper White frames.

My sentiment is from the 'Festive Post' set ...... and that was stamped onto a Basic Black circle.  I used VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with White Embossing Powder.  Then I layered two additional circles behind that sentiment and finished it off with a shiny "Boo" message.

The finishing touch was adding three 'Wonderful Gems' around the front of my card.

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!

Halloween Candy Goodie Bag

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

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

Looking for a quick little Halloween treat to hand out to those little Trick or Treaters this year.  This project comes together so QUICK......You can make a whole bowl full of these in no time flat.

I started by filling a little cello bag with some Dove Chocolate candies.

Next, I took the largest die from the 'Celebrate Labels Dies' and die-cut out a Basic Black label.  I scored that piece in half and then used the 'Celebration Tidings' set to stamp my sentiment.  I used VersaMark ink and White Embossing Powder to get that step done.

I left the back of my packaging blank.......

And added a few 'Elegant Faceted Gems' around the top of my bag.

Didn't I tell you this was a QUICK kind of Halloween treat???

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!

Trick or Treat 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....

The first upgrade I made to my card today was changing the base card from Whisper White to Blackberry Bliss.

I also used the 'Celebration Tidings' set to stamp my swirl image to the TOP.....

And the BOTTOM of my card.  I used VersaMark ink and White Embossing Powder to really give that swirl image a POP.

I added the same 'Magic In This Night DSP' panel to the front of my card.  I did however add several card stock layers for that DSP panel.

The next upgrade I created was wrapping some 'Whisper White Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around that DSP panel and tied it into a pretty bow.

And I stamped my sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled White Embossing Powder onto two Blackberry Bliss banner flags.

And my final touch was adding three White Pearls to the end of the two Blackberry Bliss banner flags ..... And I added one Whisper White banner flag between those two.

So tell me friends .......Which one do you like best???

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!

Trick or Treat

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..........

How FUN is this Halloween card!!!

I started out by stamping a swirl image to the top......

And also stamp to the bottom section of my Whisper White base card.  The swirl image comes from the 'Celebration Tidings' set and I stamped those two images with Blackberry Bliss ink.

I created a 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" 'Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper' panel to the center of my card......

And then added a fun sentiment banner across the center of the DSP panel.  My sentiment was stamped from the 'Celebration Tidings' set and again.....I used Blackberry ink.

And the final touch was adding two pearls to the ends of my sentiment banner.  I used my 'Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blends' to color both of those pearls.

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!

Give Thanks

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 September 'Hello Pumpkin' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

Today I made a little 3x3 card to share with you.

My sentiment piece uses all the pieces that came with this kit ..... And that allowed me to make this FANTASTIC "Give Thanks" message for the front of my little card.

I'm telling you ....... from the minute I cut down one of the cracker boxes that came with this kit ...... I knew that piece would make a FABULOUS awning for the front of a card.  So I added a couple extra score lines to that piece and adjusted it so it flipped up just a tad.

I am jut CRAZY about the way this little card turned out.....

What do you think???

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........

This tag just SCREAMS Fall in Wisconsin to me.

I started off by stamping my sentiment from the 'Banner Year' set at the very bottom of my Very Vanilla tag.

Next, I grabbed three pretty fall colors (Pumpkin Pie, Crushed Curry and Cherry Cobbler) to stamp and die-cut my three maple leaves.  I used the 'Gather Together' set along with the 'Gather Leaves Dies' to stamp and crop those images out.

My tag was topped off with some 'Embroidered 3/8" Ribbon' that I colored with my 'Cinnamon Cider Stampin' Blends'.  It was finished off with a double 'Linen Thread' bow.

To add just a tiny bit of pretty to each leaf.......I used my 'Clear Wink of Stella'.

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

Doesn't it just make you want to jump in a pile of leaves!!!
