Wine-Down Wednesday Let it Snow

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!
Hailey Arrived Last Night.....

  

Here is Hailey as she waits at the Madison Airport to board her flight .......And then a quick pic of Hailey and her Mom (aka-Cheryl) on board the flight that brought them to Tucson.

 

Besides Hailey and Cheryl arriving last night ...... The other BIG NEWS IS ........ only 3-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event
 

My blog post for today is Wine-Down Wednesday.  This is my middle of the week card that will hopefully offer you some inspiration and provide you with the motivation to keep you moving through your busy week.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today........

Even though this is a retired Stampin' UP! stamp set ....... It one of those stamp sets that I will probably NEVER sell ........ And is one that I pull out every single year and use.

There's just something extra special about this snowman.

I did use the new Designer Series Paper 'Season of Cheer' for my center DSP panel.  And grabbed my Silver Glimmer Paper along with the new 'Snow Flurry Punch' and created a fun element topper to my stamped snowman panel.

So there you have it friends ....... A pretty easy card that can be put together in no time flat.

 

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

 

3-D Tuesday Acorny Note Holder

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
Hailey ARRIVES TODAY
And 4-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  Speaking from experience ....... I have to say that this is one of those projects you should plan to make two of ......... because after you finish making one ...... You won't want to give it away.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.

I made this fun note card holder out of one sheet of Crumb Cake cardstock. 

And filled it full of pretty fall notecards.

The four note cards are A2 size cards.  And I used the 'Acorny Thank You' stamp set along with the 'Into The Woods' Designer Series Paper to pretty up my cards.

And here's a close-up of the belly band I created for my holder.

I just know you will want the measurements for this holder ........ So here they are.  (Nothing fancy ....... But enough information for you to create one of these holders.)

I have plans to send this to someone very special.

 

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 Post Stamp Card-TAKE 2

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
1-Short Day till Hailey Arrives
And 5-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

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 as I did on Sunday's card ........ but brought my card today up to the next stamping level by adding a product found in the 2015 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  Let's jump in with today's card share..........

 For today's card, I stayed with the traditional Real Red and Old Olive colors......

But one thing I did do to this card was heat emboss my sentiment with some White Embossing Powder.  I think using White Embossing Powder on Real Red cardstock is just the WOW FACTOR I was looking for this card. 

I triple matted my postage stamp images.......

 And added a level of playful with some Real Red Striped Ribbon.

I have to tell you ......... that I'm pretty darn happy with the way this card turned out.

 

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

Spot Light Sunday Postage Stamp Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
2-Short Days till Hailey Arrives
And 6-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a wonderful holiday card to share with you.  It's product that is featured in both the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog and the new 2015 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today.

 This card uses the new 'Lots of Joy' stamp set.

I used traditional Real Red and Old Olive cardstock and ink to create this card.

And I borrowed the sentiment from the 'Embellished Ornaments' set ....... Which is in the Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog.

I'm just nuts for the way this card turned out.  So nuts that I'm planning to make several of these for our holiday cards this year.

 

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

Paper Pumpkin Flower Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
3-Short Days till Hailey Arrives
And 7-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a pretty card to share with you!  This card was made with the August Paper Pumpkin kit ........ And the only additional product I used to make this card was some Basic Black cardstock and a panel of DSP.  Let me share that card with you now....... 

How's this for an OVER THE TOP flower card!

I created this pretty pink flower with the material in my kit.  All I had to do was grab some of my flower punches and this beautiful flower was created in a flash!

 The 'For You' was stamped with Basic Black ink.......

 And the DSP banner flag took no time to create. 

It's one of those cards that I enjoyed so much making ....... That I made a second one to have on hand.

 

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

This card was made by my sweet friend Edna M.

How GORGEOUS is this flower stamped in the new Watermelon Wonder ink color.

And my last card share for today was made by the very talented Tricia C.

Tag Thursday - Warm Wishes

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
5-Short Days till Hailey Arrives
And 9-Short Days till my Saddle-UP! Event

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I CASE'd and show you how easy it is to create this SUPER FUN WARM WISHES TAG.  Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

From the minute I saw this tag featured in our new Holiday Catalog ....... I just knew it was one that I would CASE (Copy and Share Everything).

I stamped my sleigh from the 'Winter Wishes' stamp set with Early Espresso ink onto a Whisper White panel.  I stamped and fussy cut out the pair of ski's and attached them to my tag with dimensional adhesive.

My favorite addition to this tag is the darling little Mini Metallic Clothespins that holds the stamped pine cone onto my tag.

And all that was left to do for this tag was to add some Early Espresso Seam Binding Ribbon and tie it all up with a pretty bow (I just LOVE how easy it is to tie a pretty bow with our seam binding).

So there you have it friends ....... A pretty holiday tag that is sure to be seen by some at my Saddle-UP! Event on October 24th.

 

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!
