Lotus Blossom Steps

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Before I jump into my blog share for today..........I have a couple more pictures of my Twoie Boy.....

Here he is getting caught up on Current Events......

GO BADGERS!

And this is one of my favorite pictures of me with Twoie.  This pic was taken during my last visit in Wisconsin. Could that smile be any bigger!  (I can still hear his ADORABLE belly laugh when this picture was taken.)

For my share today ........ I have a step-by-step instructions on how to use the new Sale-a-Bration 'Lotus Blossom' set.  Let's jump right in with today's share.........

The steps I am about to share with you uses the Lotus Blossom stamp set.....and Crushed Curry Ink.

I stamped my sentiment first and then used the #1 stamp from this set with full strength ink.  I stamped my image onto a 2-3/4"x2-3/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock.

Here is how I positioned my stamp onto my Whisper White panel.

My #2 stamp was stamped off one time......

And was positioned right over the first stamped image.

\

And my #3 stamp was stamped off one time too.

I positioned that #3 stamped image right over the first two stamped images.

So when it is all said and done......This image stamps perfectly each and every time I've used it.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a fun little gift card holder ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Lotus Blossom Card

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Even though my good friend Mary Fish only lives a few short miles away from me.......It's really hard to work our calendars out for a 'Mary/Kadie Play Day'.  Today we are getting together to work on our March Paper Pumpkin kits.  YIPPIIIIEEEE!

It's also been WEEKS since I last posted some pics of my Twoie Boy........But I shamed my daughter into sending me some pictures last night......and here's my little man.....

Twoie just LOVES his suspenders......

Isn't he just so handsome!

And he LOVES his RediWhip.......

And tackling his big sister Brooke......

Playing dress-up at school......

"Arrg Matey"

And working on your potty training can be exhausting!

THANKS Jenni for the pics.

My card share for today is this beautiful card we made at my Saddle-UP! event.

We used Bermuda Bay ink......

Large Butterfly Creation

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have my downline team coming over to help create some fun tags for the Stampin' UP! home office Demo Support Team.  I will share those tags with you soon ....... But for today, I have a fun little 'CASE' to share with you.  It's a 're-creation I made from a card I received at Leadership......And honestly.......I only made a few layering changes to my version.  Let's jump right in with my card share.........

The butterfly is the largest butterfly from the 'Butterflies Thinlits Dies' collection.

It's drop-dead gorgeous when die-cut with Basic Black cardstock.

The sentiment is from the 'Butterfly Basics' set.  It was stamped on a small piece of Crisp Cantaloupe with Black ink.  The Whisper White panel was embossed with the new 'Spring Flowers' Textured Impressions Embossing Folder.......and then sponged with some Crisp Cantaloupe ink.

FABULOUS CARD.......

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

Two More Butterfly Cards

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have more Leadership swap cards to share with you.  Here are two more butterfly cards I received......

This card not only uses the new 'Butterflies Thinlits Dies' but also uses the coordinating 'Butterfly Basics' stamp set.

And an added surprise to this card is the circle of SAB DSP and pretty Tea lace Paper Doilies that was used on the left hand edge of this card.

And this second card uses the new 'Butterfies Thinlits Dies' in a whole new way......

Check out the butterfly image that is not cut completely though the Whisper White panel.  The center of the butterfly is not cut through and the butterfly image is lifting right off the Whisper White panel.  GORGEOUS CARD!

Kinda Eclectic Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a CASE card from the Orlando Stampin' UP! Leadership Conference.  I saw this card at Leadership......and knew I would want to recreate it when I got home.   Here's my card share for today......

This card comes together with minimal supplies......But packs a SERIOUS punch when it comes to the WOW FACTOR ELEMENT!

The stamp set used was Kinda Eclectic ...... and some Basic Black 3/4" Chevron Ribbon.

To obtain multiple shades.....I stamped off a couple times before re-inking.

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