Birthday Piggy

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2022-2023 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..........

How ADORABLE is this little piggy!

I started this card off with a White base.  Next, I added four 1/4" x 5-1/2" strips of 'Butterfly Kisses Designer Series Paper' to the far left-hand edge of my base card.

Next, I got busy and stamped my sweet little piggy from the 'this Birthday Piggy' set onto a white circle.  I colored that piggy in with my Stampin' Blends and then matted it with a Calypso Coral scallop piece from the 'Layering Circles Dies'.

My sentiment is from that same 'This Birthday Piggy' set ...... and that was stamped onto a banner flag from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.

And that's all it took to create this ADORABLE little 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!

Cheesy 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 started out with a 2-1/2" x 3-1/4" Mango Melody base tag.

Next, I added a Daffodil Delight piece over the top of my base tag ....... That piece was cropped out using the 'Dots & Spots Dies'.

The PERFECT addition to this tag was using the 'A Little Cheesy' set.  I stamped two blocks of cheese and fussy cut out both blocks.  Then I inked up the edges to add some dimension to my cheese.....

And I used the 'Rectangle Stitched Dies' to stamp my sentiment.

I finished my tag off with some 'Soft Sea Foam Seam Binding Ribbon' that I colored using my Mango Melody Blends Marker.

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

Isn't it ADORABLE!!!

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!

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 just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this card turned out.

I started out with a White base card.  To the top of that I added a layer of Melon Mambo cardstock.

Next, I added a 4" x 3" panel of the 'Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper' to the top of my card.....

And another 'Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper' panel (2-1/4" x 4") to the bottom of my card.

Then I got busy and cropped out three hexagon shapes from the 'Beautiful Shapes Dies'.  I arranged those to the left-hand side of my card.

And added a single 'Build a Butterfly' image into the center of each hexagon.

My sentiment was stamped from the 'Splendid Thoughts' set and that was stamped onto a frame from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.

The finishing touch was adding three 'Fine Sparkle Gems' to the front of my card.  And I colored those three gems with my Stampin' Blends Markers'.

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

Don't you just LOVE it!!!

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! 

Peek-a-Boo Bags

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3D TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created.  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 'Peekaboo Bags' in the 2022-2023 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  They are SO MUCH FUN to play with.

I pulled out one of each color and created two fun bags.

The first Peekaboo Bag is this Kraft style.  I added two panels of the 'Abigail Designer Series Paper' to the front......

And also a panel to the back.

I wrapped some 'Sahara Sand Twill Ribbon' around the top of my Kraft bag....

And cropped out a flower from the 'Penned Flowers Dies'  My sentiment is from the 'Simply Fabulous' set.

The second peekaboo bag I created was the White version.

I used the same 'Abigail Designer Series Paper'.....

And topped it off with some 'Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim'....

And created my flower the same as the Kraft version.

These treat bags are so much FUN to work with.....

Tell me friends ...... Don't you LOVE 'EM!!!!!

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!

Happy Happy Birthday 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 2022-2023 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP....

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

The first upgrade I made to my card for today was changing the orientation from a Landscape style card to a Portrait style card.

My card measures 4-1/4" x 9-3/4" and it is scored at 4-1/4".

I did add another panel of the 'Design A Daydream Designer Series Paper' to the inside bottom section of my card.  This DSP measures 1-1/2" x 4-1/4".

I did add a 1/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Blackberry Bliss to the bottom edge on the front of my card ...... And that was mainly added to help accent the Designer Series Paper.

For the front of my card ...... I added three Blackberry Bliss frame pieces that had White cardstock adhered to the top.  Then I cropped out a total of 9-candles and arranged 3-candles onto each frame piece.

I used the 'Artistically Ink' set to stamp my sentiment.  And all I had to do was ink up each word and stamp it directly onto my card front.

The finishing touch was adding three 'Fine Sprinkle' embellishments to the front of my card ..... And again, those were colored with my Blackberry Bliss Blends Marker.

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!
