You Are Amazing

 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 June Expressions In Color Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This pretty little note card is one of the favorite alternate cards I created with this kit.

I started off by creating a base note card using some Soft Succulent card stock.

I added a panel of Evening Evergreen to the top of my base card ...... and added three panels to the front of that.  The water-color panel was a cut down portion of the card included in this kit......And the twine wrapped out that panel was also included in this kit.

I just LOVE LOVE LOVE the look of both the sentiment in the upper left hand corner of this card and the single die-cut leave in the upper right hand corner of this card turned out.   

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

You Touched My Heart

 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........

Every once in awhile, I create a tag that just makes me STOP and ADMIRE it before giving it away.  My tag today is one of those tags.

I started out with a 2-1/4" x 4-3/4" White base tag.  Next, I added a panel of Soft Succulent to the top.  I stamped my sentiment from the 'Plentiful Plants' set onto a frame that was cropped out using the 'Message Dies'.  I did crop out two hearts from the 'Message Dies' and added those to the edge of my sentiment piece.

My basket of ferns was created using the 'Perfect Plant' and the images were cropped out using the 'Plentiful Plants Dies'.  I did add a single heart (from the 'Message Dies') to the center of my pot and finished that heart of with some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to give it a pretty shine.

My tag was topped off with some 'Linen Thread' that was also attached to the top of my fern pot.

The finishing touch was adding some stitching lines around the edges of my tag ....... And this tag was ready to give to someone very special.

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 The Best

 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 PRETTY card just makes me HAPPY all over.  I started off with a  panel of Calypso Coral card stock that is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  

Next, I added a White card stock panel that measured 5-1/4" x 7" and scored at 4" across the 7" side.  I added a 1-1/4" x  5-1/4" panel of 'You're A Peach' to the inside of the White card stock.....

And another 1-1/4" x 5-1/4" DSP panel to left hand edge of the front White card stock.

I added a layering 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' panel to the front of my card ....... And used the 'Tasteful Touches' set to stamp my sentiment.

I cropped out several 'Pierced Blooms Die' flower and arranged them directly onto my 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' panel.

I did add a single 'Gilded Gem to the center of each flower.......

And this card was done in no time flat.

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! 

Snack Box

 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.

My 3-D project for today was inspired by Jeanette Cobb at GeoAmazing.  She shared this creation back on 6/26/2015......But it's a timeless creation that honestly was screaming for me to make.  You can watch Jeanette's video here: (209) Stampin'Up Healthy Snack Box with Farmers Market DSP - YouTube

I used the 'Expressions in Ink Designer Series Paper' to create my holder.  There's something special that happened when I started folding this gold and white foil paper.

I cropped out a tag using he 'Tailor Made Tag Dies' ....... and I stamped my sentiment from the 'Lovely You' set onto that tag.  I did use VersaMark ink and 'Gold Embossing Powder' to create that STUNNING look.

My box was finished off with some of the 'Fine Art 3/8" Gold Ribbon' ..... And I worked hard to create a FANCY bow for the top of my box.

I tucked a Nature Valley bar inside my snack box ...... And it fit PERFECTLY!

Just LOVE LOVE LOVE how this snack box turned out.

Thank You Jeanette Cobbs for sharing this project with us.

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!

Life Is Better 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 2021-2022 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 TOP.....

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

For my upraded version ....... I made some slight but WOW kind of upgrades to this card.

I stamped my sentiment in the lower right hand corner of my card using the same 'Flowers of Friendships' stamp set.

The biggest change I made to this card was creating a panel for my 8-hearts to be spot-lighted.

Each heart was featured inside a cropped out circle that was framed with one of the three colors I selected for this card.  I also added some Stampin' Dimensionals to the back of each heart to give this upgraded card LOTS of dimension.

And the finishing touch was adding some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to each heart for that pretty added WOW FACTOR!!!

So there you have it 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!

Life Is Better

  Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2021-2022 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..........

What friend wouldn't LOVE to receive this card.

I started out with a White base card ....... and used the 'Flowers of Friendship' set to stamp my sentiment in the lower right hand corner of my card.

Next, I got busy and punched out 8-circles and 8-heart (from the 'Warm Wishes Dies') and arranged them onto the front of my card.

I used the 2021-2023 Brights and Subtles Designer Series Paper Stacks to crop out my hearts.  And after I got all the pieces adhered down onto my card ...... I covered each of the hearts with a thin layer of 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' for some added WOW FACTOR to each heart.

And there you have it friends......

A SUPER FUN and SUPER EASY kind of card.

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!

Thanks For Everything

 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 June Expressions in Color Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This alternate Paper Pumpkin card turned out EXACTLY as I had hoped!

I started out with a White base card ....... and added a panel of the pretty water colored card stock that was included in this kit right across the center of my base card.

My sentiment was stamped on a White 'Layering Circle' and then matted with a Polished Pink scallop circle.

I used the leaves that were included in this kit to create a pretty swag at the bottom of my stamped sentiment piece ...... And finished that swag off with a 'Polished Pink' bow.

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

And I'm thrilled with the over-all look of this card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
