Hi Flip-Up

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Fun Fold Friday and that means I have a special little Fun Fold Gift Card Holder to share with you. Let's kick off this Fun Fold Friday share right now.........

My Fun Fold design for today is a SUPER CREATIVE flip-up style card.  It starts off with a Night of Navy base card panel that is 4-1/4" x 5-1/2".  I added a 4-1/8" x 5-3/8" panel of White to the top .... and a 4" x 5-1/8" panel of 'Country Side Inn Designer Series Paper' to that.

My Flip-Up was created by adding a 2" x 6" White panel that was scored at 3/4" and that was tucked behind the top DSP panel.

I added 1-3/4" x 5" piece of the 'Country Side Inn Designer Series Paper' onto the front of that White Flip-Up panel.

I did add a White Scallop piece to the right-hand side of the Flip-Up panel.  And stamped my sentiment from the 'Easter Bunny' set on the White scallop piece.

And for the inside ..... I added a 2" x 5-1/8" piece of Night of Navy directly under the Flip-Up panel.  I stamped my sentiment from the 'Charming Sentments' set onto a 1-3/4" x 5" White panel that was added to the Night of Navy panel.

I also added some 'Boho Blue Ribbon' to the top of that Flip-Up section.....

And finished off my card with several flowers from the 'Around The Bend Dies' ..... Both to the front and inside of my card.

Just doesn't get any EASIER.

Hope you have fun making these!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to begin sharing a special new Sweet Treat Saturday release with you ........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Something To Celebrate

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 this tag off with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" White base.

Next, I got busy and cropped out 3/4" strips of all five 2022-2024 In-Color colors.  I cut each one off with different lengths and shapes.

I also added a single 'Glossy Dots Assortment' gem to one end of each piece.

My sentiment is from the 'Sweet Songbirds' set and that was stamped on several layering pieces from the 'Give It A Whirl Dies'.

And the finishing touch was adding some 'Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet and Tahian Tide Metallic Ribbon' to the top of my tag.

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

Just LOVE how FUN this tag turned out.

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

Life 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'm LOVING the layout of this card so much ..... I used several different new Designer Series Paper to create some extra birthday cards for my stash.

I started off with a White base card that was 4-1/4" x 11".  It is scored at 5-1/2".  Next, I used a 4" x 5-1/4" White cardstock panel to build my pieces onto.  I started off with a 2-1/2" x 3-3/4" panel of 'Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper'.  That piece was put towards the bottom of my White panel.

Next, I added two cardstock panels above that DSP panel ..... And each of those pieces measured 1-3/4" x 2-1/4".  My sentiment piece is stamped onto a banner flag piece from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies' and I used the 'Cottage Wreath' stamp set to stamp that sentiment.

And called this card DONE!!!!

What do you think my friends.

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! 

3x3 Gift 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 that I created and want to share with you.  This project was so fun to create ....... And I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

I am ALWAYS needing some type of hostess or friend gift and this little project is the PERFECT solution to that need.  I started off with a 6" x 12" piece of 'Fresh As A Daisy Designer Series Paper'.  That piece was scored on the long side at 1/2", 2-1/4", 6-1/4" and 8".  And on the short side it is scored at 1" an 4-3/4".

I covered the top section of my bag with 2-pcs of Copper Clay cardstock that were 1-1/4" x 4" and those pieces covered the front and back of my gift bag.  And 2-pcs of Copper Clay cardstock that were 1-1/4" x 1-3/4" and those pieces covered the two sides of my gift bag.

I did add some White Gel Pen stitching lines around the edges of those Copper Clay cardstock panels.

My gift bag was secured with some 'Wild Wheat Textured Ribbon'.  And I ran that through the top cardstock panels and tied it in front into a pretty bow.

For my sentiment piece, I cropped out a Copper Clay '2-3/8" circle and then layered it with a White 'Lasting Label Punch' piece.

And my sentiment was stamped with the 'In The Moment' set and I used Copper Clay ink.

And when you open up the gift bag ..... I tucked in four coordinating 3"x3" little cards with coordinating envelopes.

Each little card uses either White or Copper Clay cardstock for the base.....

And the same 'Lasting Label Punch' piece.  I also used the same 'In The Moment' stamp set for my sentiment.

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

This project comes together so QUICKLY.....

And makes the PERFECT little gift!!!!

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 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 changed things up 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....

For my upgraded card ..... I kept the same White base card and also kept the orientation.

But, for my card today ..... I created a Birthday gift card.  I kep the Berry Burst card stock panel on the top of my base card ..... And also used the 'Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper'.  But for my upgraded card I used the larger DSP on the top and the smaller DSP on the bottom.

I created a pocket on the front of my card for the gift card to tuck into .... And I used the same 'Go To Greetings' for my sentiment. 

And the pretty ribbon on the top of my DSP panel is from the Bubble Bath 'Ribbon Duo Combo Pack'.

I added my gift card to a panel of Berry Burst card stock .... And this card was upgraded in no time flat.

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 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 Birthday

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2023-2024 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..........

This card starts with a 4-1/4" x 11 White base card.  I topped that off with a 4" x 5-1/4" panel of Berry Burst card stock.

Next, I cut a 3-3/4" x 3" panel of  'Bright & Beautiful Designer Series Paper' and positioned that towards the bottom of my card ..... and another panel that was 3-3/4" x 1-3/4" and positioned that towards the top of my card.

I used the 'Go To Greetings' to stamp my sentiment onto a White circle that was cropped out using the 'Stylish Shapes Dies' ..... and then matted that piece with a Berry Burst square cropped out from the same set of dies.

I toppd my sentiment off with a Bubble Bath bow .... And I used the 'Ribbon Duo Combo Pack' to create my bow.

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

What do you think???

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!

Ghiradelli Holder

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have another Saturday Sweet Treat packaging idea to share with you.  This project is a SUPER YUMMY, sweet treat packaging.  Let me jump right in with my share.

Check out this CUTE CUTE CUTE Ghiradelli Treat Holder that I spotted on Pinterest.  It was shared by Angie Juda about 4-years ago.  I continue to find myself saying ...... In the papercrafting world ...... what is old is always new again.  This holder was created with a 8-1/2" x 2-3/4" piece of Soft Seafoam card stock.  It was scored on the 8-1/2" side at 2-1/2" and 5-3/4".

 

I used a piece of Mossy Meadow DSP that was 2-5/8" x 2-3/8" and centered that over the top flap.  Next I got busy and created a belly band for my holder.  That belly band is a White piece of card stock that is 1" x 8-1/2". 

My sentiment for the belly band is from the 'Easter Bunny' set.  And that is layered with a couple layers from the 'Cracker & Treat Box Dies'.  I used the tiny heart from the 'Give It A Whirl Dies' and added that to the front of my belly band.

My sentiment for the inside is from the 'Very Best Occasions' set.

And that YUMMY Ghiradelli treat tucks perfectly into the slot I created using one of the dies from the 'Cracker & Treat Box Dies'.

 

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

What do you think????

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

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Fun Fold Friday and that means I have a special little Fun Fold Gift Card Holder to share with you. Let's kick off this Fun Fold Friday share right now.........

My card starts out with a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" single White base.

I added a panel of Boho Blue cardstock that measures 4" x 5-1/4".  I used the 'Painted Texture Embossing Folder' to add some texture to this piece.  And then I adhered it down to the front of my base card panel.

I wanted to create a little 3"x3" card on the front ...... So I scored a 3" x 6" piece of White cardstock and scored it at 3".  I used the 'Songbird Builder Punch' to create the blue bird for the front of this piece ..... And nested him onto a 2-3/4" x 2-3/4" panel of Moody Mauve cardstock.

Here's how the little 3" x 3" card opens.

One finishing touch I added was a piece of the 'Moody Mauve Textured Ribbon' under the 3" x 3" card ..... And I added several 'Red & Green Adhesive Pearls' around the front of my card.

And there you go friends.....

Just doesn't get any EASIER.

Hope you have fun making these!!!
