Spotlight Sunday

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have some wonderful new product to share with you.  It's product from the new 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog ........ and today, I'm going to feature a fun way to incorporate this new product line into a pretty amazing card.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.

This little 3-1/2"x5" Whisper White note card came together in a snap with the help of the Stampin' UP! Note Cards and Envelopes. 

I stamped the "I Think You're Great!" sentiment onto a Whisper White panel with Hello Honey ink.

I added some of the new 5/8" Hello Honey Striped Cotton Ribbon to the bottom of my Whisper White panel......and added a Delight Dijon In Color Blossom Accent Embellishment to the cotton ribbon trim. 

Think about stamping five of these note cards with each of the new 2015-2017 In-Colors ........ And then wrapping your five stamped cards together with some pretty ribbon.  Can you even image how special it would be to present this as a hostess gift to that someone special in your life.

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share another version of this same card for my Mix-It-Up Monday card share.  Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!  

Paper Pumpkin Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have two fun cards to share with you!  These two special cards were made with the May Paper Pumpkin kit.  I used some additional product to complete these two cards ........ But honestly ....... they were minimal Stampin' UP! supplies and I'm sure you have something close to these in your stash.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.

First up is this fabulous 'celebrate' card.

I stamped my 'Celebrate' stamp that came with this kit three times with VersaMark ink and then sprinkled some White Embossing Powder over the sentiment and heat set it.

The other piece that I added to this card was some Calypso Coral Seam Binding.  PERFECT little card to use for either a birthday.......or a special celebration occasion.

Here's my second card for today ...... And it a festive birthday card.

I stamped my 'happy birthday' sentiment onto my Calypso Coral balloon ....... And the only other additional supplies I used for this card was a small panel of Island Indigo and Daffodil Delight cardstock.

 

 

 

My favorite part of this card is the Twisted Tangelo Twist Twine that came with this Paper Pumpkin kit.  If you are interested in signing up for your very own Paper Pumpkin delivery ........ Visit my Paper Pumpkin store at:  https://mypaperpumpkin.com/en/?demoid=2026111

Friends Friday

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have my 'Friends Friday' post to share with you ........ And I have three AMAZING cards to share with you.  These are cards that my SUPER TALENTED DOWNLINE TEAM created.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.

First card up is not from one of my downline team members.......But from a friend and adopted team member Lynn.  Lynn is a fellow demonstrator who lives in Michigan and she joins our downline team swap exchange each month.   I'm in LOVE with this card that she made.

She used the "Friendly Wishes" stamp set and the new Bohemian DSP to create this AWESOME pocket card.

My next card is by one of my downline team members Cheri.

How AMAZING is this card Cheri created using the new "Tree Builder" punch.

And my last card share for today was made by another downine team member Abbie.

GORGEOUS card using the "Four Feathers" stamp set and coordinating feathers thinlit dies.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another Paper Pumpkin Saturday .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Tag Thursday

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have my 'Tag Thursday' post to share with you.  These are the tags I created for my 'Stamp-of-the-Month' club customers who received the "Sheltering Tree" stamp set.  Every month ........ I create a tag for my Stamp-of-the-Month Club customers ........ And I use the stamp set featured for that month to create my tag.  Let me give you a closer look at this tag......


This tag was created using the "Sheltering Tree" set.

I began by stamping the tree in Soft Suede and Pear Pizzazz.  I added a single Real Red heart to one of the top branches for just a touch of WOW FACTOR!

My bicycle was stamped in Smoky Slate and Cherry Cobber ink ........ And I filled in my ground with some Pear Pizzazz ink.

One final touch was to add a small piece of Cherry Cobbler Chevron Ribbon to the top of my tag ad then it all up with a pretty Whisper White Baker's Twine bow.

 

 

So there you have it my friends ....... A perfect little tag made with the "Sheltering Tree" stamp set.

 

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

Wine Down Wednesday

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  My middle of the week card feature for today will offer you some inspiration and creative energy to keep you moving through your busy week and maybe even motivate you to create this precious little card.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

Even though this card uses a fair amount of retired Stampin' UP! product ....... It's one that can be altered with ANY current product you have in your stash.

I started out by stamping my sentiment in two different colors of ink and punching one of the images out with a label punch......and then taking my small oval punch and punching out the 'happy birthday' message and popping it directly onto my label.

A quick banner flag was created for the DSP and cardstock pieces......

 

And a quick wrap of some Baker's Twine was added to the top of my banner flag.

So my friends ....... There you have it.  A quick and easy card that will hopefully inspire you ...... and kick-start your creative energy through your busy week.

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

3-D Tuesday

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  This project is SUPER QUICK and SUPER EASY to create ........ And one that I made for my fellow Stampin' UP! demonstrator Darla.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.

This little diaper treat package was made with a single 9x9 piece of Designer Series Paper and a quick fold technique that Sara Douglas shared on the Stampin' UP! blog last week.  The joy with this fold technique ........ NO ADHESIVE NEEDED!

I created this package of yummy treats for my fellow Stampin' UP! demonstrator Darla.......Who recently earned the Stampin' UP! Grand Vacation. 

Here's what the package looks like empty......

And of course a gift would not be complete without adding some delish chocolates.

I used one of our small cello bags and wrapped it all up with some of the new Delightful Dijon 1" Dotted Lace Trim.

Quick and Easy project ....... That Darla just loved.

 

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!

Mix It UP! Monday

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Mix It UP! Monday and I have a great new product card to share with you.  I have created two versions of this card for you.  The first is a CASE from my good friend Mary Fish.  She shared this card some time ago.....and I'm in love with the layout.  SO.......I created a very simple card and then created a second  version of that same card.  The second version card has the exact same product ....... with the addition of some ribbon and a few extra layers for the flower.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.......



This card uses the new Bohemian DSP.   

I cut four squares 1-1/2" and adhered each of them to a Very Vanilla panel.

A Dozen Thoughts stamp set was stamped in Blackberry ink.....

And my flower was created with a single layer of the Flower Medallion and Pansy punches.

For my second version of this same card, I used the same DSP and cardstock......

But used my corner rounder to round two edges of each  Bohemian DSP square......

I added an additional layer for my punched flowers.......

And added some Blackberry Bliss ribbon and a small piece of the new Delightful Dijon 1" Dotted Lace Trim above my stamped sentiment.

I also added a Bohemian DSP envelope liner to really step up my card.

 

So there you have it friends ...... Two versions of a pretty spectacular card!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a fun 3-D Tuesday with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
