Oh Baby

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2021 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog, the 2021 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration Catalog and the 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from each of those catalogs ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

I'm completely THRILLED with the layout and design of this Spot Light Sunday card.

I started with a White card base ....... And then added a panel of Sale-a-Bration 'Berry Delightful Designer Series Paper' to the top.  Before I adhered it down to my card however, I added some 'Whisper White 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around the bottom portion and tied it up into a pretty knot.

Next, I worked on create my sentiment piece.  For that I stamped my sentiment from the 'Punch Party' set onto a White 'Heart Punch' piece.  I then matted that heart to a Poppy Parade 'Scallop Heart Punch' and added it to several square layers with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Just think that even though this is a quick & easy kind of card.....

It comes across in a fun & bold kind of way.

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!

You Are On My Mind

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... But before I share my blog post with you ...... I want to introduce you to the newest member of the Fisher/Labadie household.  As many of you know ....... Tamale did not work out in our home.  He charged and attacked me from behind ...... And wrapped himself around my leg and bite me pretty bad.  As if that wasn't enough ...... The very next morning he bite my hand.  We found out that he had done the very same thing to 3-other familes ...... So the Shelter agreed that he would need to be returned.  I waited a couple weeks before heading out to find 'Prada'.  Or should I say ...... She found me.  She introduced herself by chatting with me and then immediately JUMPED up into my lap and it was at the very moment that I knew I had found my forever kitty.  SO ..... Here is my little Prada Girl .........

These pictures were taken on Thursday evening.  She was spending the night in the Master Bedroom and didn't seem to mind snuggling up with me in a couple short hours.

In the morning.......I let her explore around the house.  With supervision of course.  She was allowed in my studio and proved to be the best watch kitty.  She remained front and center watching the dog walkers pass our house for the longest time ......

And then found a comfy spot on my work table to take a little nap.  She is such a little LOVE BUG ...... And really enjoys following me around like my little shadow.  I have to say........I AM IN LOVE!!!

How....on with my Paper Pumpkin Saturday share.  I have my last alternate project that I created using the December Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This special little card is going to our granddaughter in California.

I started off with a Rich Razzleberry base card and added a White panel to the top of that.  I cut apart one of the envelope liners and used that to decorate the top of my White panel.  I wrapped some 'Blackberry Bliss Striped Ribbon' around the top and tied a pretty knot off to the left.

To create the scallop edge at the bottom of the DSP panel ..... I used the 'Be Mine Dies' and added it directly under the DSP edge.

My sentiment was stamped from the set that came with this kit......

And that ADORABLE bear was also included in the December kit.

Such a SWEET little card......

And know it will make our Granddaughter SMILE!!!

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!

You Have My Heart 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........

My tag share for today was inspired by something I saw on Pinterest.  I changed things up a tiny bit so I could use my Stampin' UP! product.  Have to admit......I'm crazy about how this tag turned out.

I began with a White tag base that measured 3" x 4".  I stamped my flowering hearts (from 'Valentine Keepsakes' set) onto the left hand side of my tag (with Real Red ink) and then......

I added a Real Red panel that measured 1-1/2" x 4" to the right hand side.  Onto that Real Red panel ...... I stamped the same flowering heart image, but I used VersaMark and sprinkled 'White Embossing Powder' onto that section.

The finished results of both of these panels being stamped worked out PERFECTLY!!!

Then I got busy creating my sentiment piece.  I used the 'Valentine Keepsakes' set with Real Red ink and then punched it out using a 1" circle punch.  To finish off this sentiment piece ..... I added a single 'Resin Heart' and that just completed my sentiment circle.

I topped my tag off with some 'Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon' and tied it off into a pretty bow.  I also added a 'Heart Charm' to the ribbon and let that just dangle from the pretty ribbon.

SO HAPPY with the way this tag turned out.

Can't wait to attach it to a little gift for Valentine's Day.

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!

You Are An Inspiration Card

 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........

This card layout makes any Designer Series Paper look amazing.

I started off with a Melon Mambo base card.  To that I added a White panel to the center that measures 3-1/4" x 4-1/2".

Then I got busy adhering four pieces of 'Sand & Sea Designer Series Paper' to that white panel.  My DSP panels are Qty 2-pcs that are 1-/12" x 2-3/4" and Qty 2-pcs that are 1-1/2" x 1-1/2".

My sentiment was stamped using the 'Dragonfly Garden' set ....... I stamped that with Melon Mambo ink onto a White 'Double Oval Punch' piece.  And then I cropped out a Melon Mambo layer of the 'Double Oval Punch' and matted my sentiment to that.

And that's all it took my friends to create this

PRETTY and HAPPY looking cad.

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!

Jack's Countdown To Valentine's Gift Box

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 can't wait to share it with you.  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 Valentine's Countdown Box I created for Jack.

I created this using the new 'Love You Always Treat Boxes'.

I covered the box with the 'True Love Designer Series Paper'.  I cut two pieces at 3-7/8" x 2-1/2" (those are for the top and bottom of my box) and then I cut two pieces at 3-7/8" x 1-1/4" (and those are for the sides of my box).

I wrapped some 'Real Red 3/8" Double-Stitched Satine Ribbon' around the left hand side of my box.....

And I used the 'Scallop Heart Punch' along with the 'Heart Punch' to decorate the top of my box.  And my sentiment is from the 'Punch Party' set. 

I will be giving this gift to Jack on February 1st.  He will receive the box along with one gift tag and each day counting down till Valentine's Day he will receive another gift tag.  

Each tag was made with a Real Red 'Scallop Heart' and then I used the 'Heart Punch' to create the top.  I scored the white heart at the top to create a flap ........

On the inside of each gift tag I will write a special little message to Jack and he can store each tag that he received inside this special little box. 

So each morning when he gets up.......There will be another little heart tag waiting for him.

So by Valentine's Day ...... He will have a little box filled with special little messages from me.

Might sound kind of corny.....but it's something that I've been doing for Jack since we moved to Arizona over 11 years ago.  It's hard to buy the man who has everything something ...... And this is truly a gift from my heart.

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!

Lucky To Know You 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 ..... And changed up a few of the elements 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 change the orientation from a Landscape style card to a Portrait style card.

I began by changing my base card from White to Flirty Flamingo.  To the top of my card, I added two addtional panels.  I added a Basic Black and White panel.  Then I began adding five 'Flower & Field Designer Series Paper' panels that measure 1/2" x 3-3/4" across the front my card.

Down the center of my card, I added a DSP panel that measures 1-1/2" x 5" ...... And then I got busy creating my sentiment piece.

My sentiment piece uses several layers of the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies'.  And I used 'Oval Occasions' set to create my BEAUTIFUL sentiment.  I did use 'Black Embossing Powder' to add some extra WOW FACTOR for my sentiment and I'm so happy with the way that turned out.

So what do you think my 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 2021 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog as well as both the 2021 Sale-a-Bration and 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from all of those catalogs ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

I started this card off with a White base card and added two Designer Series panels to the front.

Both panels are from the Sale-a-Bration 'Flowers & Field Designer Series Paper' pack.  Because our Designer Series Paper is double sided ...... I was able to create two really fun panels for the front of my card.

I used the 'Black Glittered Organdy Ribbon' on the vertical DSP panel and tied it up into a pretty knot in the center of that panel.

My sentiment is from the 'Oval Occasions' set and I matted that piece with a Flirty Flamingo frame from the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies'.

Just LOVE how pretty this card turned out.
