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....

The first upgrade I made for my card today was changing up the base card from a White base to a Calypso Coral base card.  That piece measures 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" and is scored at 4".

I used the same 'Hello, Irresistible Designer Series Paper' to cover the large front panel....

And another panel for the inside.

The design of this card is a flap over style and the flap section is secured on the backside of the inside of my card.

The flap is latched closed under the front sentiment panel.

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' Annual 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..........

I started off with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" White base card ..... and that piece was scored at 4-1/4".

I added a 4" x 5-1/4" panel of Calypso Coral cardstock to the top of my base card ..... And then I added two panels of the 'Hello Irresistible Designer Series Paper' to the top.  Before I adhered all those pieces down ..... I wrapped some 'White Baker's Twine' around the center and tied it up into a PRETTY bow.

My sentiment is from the 'Wanted To Say Dies' and that was matted onto layers of the 'Countryside Corners Dies'.

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!

Box of Cookies

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.

I was trying to find a larger box to package some cookies into ..... And I stumbled upon this fun little creation shared by Holly Gagnon at Ribbon & Glue.  Though it is dating back to 2011 .... It still was a SUPER FUN package to create.  Here is the link to Holly's blog post:  How to make a One Sheet Gift Box (ribbonsandglue.com)

This over-sized box started with a 12" x 12" piece of 'Masterfully Made Designer Series Paper'.  It is scored at 3" and 9".  Then turned and scored at 1", 3-1/2", 6-1/2" and 9".

I used the 'Ringed With Nature' stamp set for my sentiment......

And topped my box off with some YUMMY 'Lemon Lolly Sheer Ribbon'.  I have to say ..... This ribbon ties into a bow like a DREAM!!!

I was able to tuck four packages of Pepperidge Farm Chessmen Butter Cookies inside.  (I have a dear friend that LOVES these cookies!!!!)

I also added some small magnetic to the top of this box to be sure it closes nicely.

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

A SUPER Sweet packaging idea!!!

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!

Hooray It's Your Day

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

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

My card share for today was shared by the very talented Lisa at her Stamp Studio.  I made a few changes to my version ...... But you can check out her video here:  Double Flap Fun Fold Card for Anniversary or as a Thank You! (lisasstampstudio.com)

I started witha  4-1/4" x 8-1/4" Calypso Coral base and that piece is scored at 5-1/2".  I used the 'Les Shoppes Designer Series Paper' to cover my card.

The front drop down flap was stamped with the 'Irresistible Blooms' stamp set......

And when that first flap is lifted up ..... It reveals the second flap.  

That second flap was covered with flowers from the 'Irresistible Blooms Dies' and the sentiment for that flap was stamped from the 'Sweet Songbird' set.

And when the final flap is lifted up ....... It reveals one more "Irresistible Blooms' flower....

And that sentiment is from the 'Go To Greetings'.

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!

Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

My base for today is a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" Bubble Bath tag.

I stamped my sentimnt onto a 3/4" x 2-1/2" scrap of White cardstock .... And used the 'Ringed With Nature' for my sentiment.

              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........

My base card starts off with a 4-1/4" x8" piece of Garden Green cardstock.  That piece is scored at 5-1/2".

I added a panel of Bubble Bath cardstock to the top flap and inside of my base card.  Both of those pieces were embossed with the 'Geometric Patterns Embossing Folder'.

My front flap was created with a 3" x 4-1/4" panel of Garden Green cardstock.  And to the top of that panel I added a 2-3/4" x 4" panel of 'Delightfully Eclectic Designer Series Paper'.

Before I adhered that panel to the small top flap ..... I wrapped some 'Garden Green Combo Ribbon' around the top and tied it up into a pretty knot.

My sentiment scallop is from the 'Give It A Whirl Dies' and I used the 'Charming Sentiments' set to stamp my sentiment.

And I used another Garden Green panel for the inside of my card.

So ..... There you have it friends....

What do you think???

K-Cup Holder

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.

This is one of those projects that I've shared in the past ...... And thought the Pecan Pie Designer Series Paper would work PERFECTLY for my Morning Edition Blend K-Cup.   My base is a piece of Pecan Pie Cardstock that is 4" x 4" and scored on all four sides at 1".  

My sentiment is from the 'Easter Bunny' set and that is stamped onto a frame cropped out from the 'Nested Essentials Dies'.

As you can see my little K-Cup fits PERFECTLY inside the base box I created.

I did decide to cover my entire K-Cup Holder with that Pecan Pie Designer Series Paper.  I used two different patterns!

And the finishing touch was adding some of the OH SO YUMMY 'Pecan Pie Bordered Ribbon' to the top of my holder.

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

What do you think my friends!!!!

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!

Thanks 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....

The first upgrade I made to my card for today was change the orientation from a landscape style card to a portrait style card.

I added a large Basic Gray and 'Bright and Beautiful Designer Series Paper' panel down the center of my card.  To add a bit of FUN to that panel .... I used my 'Scallop Contours Dies' to create a PRETTY scallop at the bottom.

Next, I added a Basic Gray, Bubble Bath and White panel across the center of my card.   I used the 'Splatter Embossing Folder' on the White panel and that created the texture I was looking for.

To finish off that center cardstock panel .... I wrapped some 'Bubble Bath Sheer Ribbon around it and tied it up into a PRETTY bow.

And my sentiment was from the 'Artistically Inked' set and stamped onto several layers of the 'Deckled Rectangles Dies'.

So, what do you think my friends....

Do you have a favorite???
