Paper Pumpkin Saturday - 3 Balloons

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This is one of my favorite cards made with the February Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock and a stamped image to create this card ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.

This card just SCREAMS........

Come Celebrate With Me!

I used the stamp set that was included in the February Paper Pumpkin kit along with Calypso Coral ink to stamp my sentiment.

My DSP panel was created from a small piece of the cardstock that was included in the February kit.

And my three balloons were stamped with the 'Balloon Adventures' set ...... using Pool Party, Island Indigo and Calypso Coral cardstock.

The 'Balloon Bouquet' punch made it easy to crop out each of the balloons....

And a small piece of Calypso Coral Thick Baker's Twine was added around the front of my card ....... and I tied it up into a pretty bow.

Just a darling card that will be going out to someone special in September.

 

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!

Tag Thursday 3-Pot Tag

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 GIFT TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

For today's tag ...... I used the 'Bookcase Builder' stamp set.

I started this tag off by stamping my 'thank you' sentiment with Emerald Envy ink and positioning it at the bottom of my 2" tag.

Next I used the stamps included in this set to stamp three floating ledges with one pot on each ledge.

I used my Tip Top Taupe Stampin' Write Marker to outline the edges of my ledge ..... and that helped the image just pop on the Whisper White cardstock.

My tag was topped off with a small piece of 1/8" Emeral Envy Taffeta Ribbon......

And a Real Red colored heart was added to each pot ......... And I used my Fine Tip Glue Pen to cover each of the hearts and that gave each flower pot a pretty little shine.

A quick and easy tag that looked amazing when I attached it to a small little fern plant for a friend.

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!

Wine Down Wednesday Swirl Card

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........

How BEAUTIFUL is this card!!!!

I started out by stamping the largest swirl from the 'Falling Flowers' set using Bermuda Bay ink ...... and then quickly dipped it into clear embossing powder.  All I needed to do was heat set the embossing powder and that gave me a bright shiny swirled image.

My sentiment was stamped with the 'Circle of Spring' set......And I used Bermuda Bay ink to stamp my sentiment.  Next, I stamped and die-cut two sets of flowers from the 'Falling Flowers' stamp set and coordinating 'May Flowers Framelits Dies'.  I used Bermuda Bay and Pool Party for my two flower colors.

Each flower was stacked and then adhered to my card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

And one final touch was adding some 3/8" Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon and stringing some Bermuda Bay Sequin Trim from the knot.

I'm just crazy in love with the way this card turned out......And can't wait to try other color combinations. 

 

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!

Mix-It-UP! Monday Upgraded Trail of Dragonflies

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 added a couple additional products to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT.....

And my upgraded Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT.....

For today's card I stepped up this card by adding some real SHINE to my trail of dragonflies.

I also upgraded the sentiment by using White Embossing Powder to give that sentiment a real POP!

I created the ribbon panel the same as yesterday's card ....... But used Whisper White and Sweet Sugarplum cardstock for that panel.  And my ribbon was upgraded by using the Whisper White 3/8" Succulent Garden ribbon and adding a tiny piece of the Sweet Sugarplum to the center. 

My dragonfly die was die-cut using the 'Blushing Bride Glimmer Paper' and once the trailing dragonfly die was adhered down onto the front of my card ....... I came in with my 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' and added some SHINE to the center of each of the dragonfly wings.

Here's a close-up picture of how those wings just SHINE once the 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' was added.

One final upgrade was replacing the Rich Razzleberry Enamel Shapes with the BEAUTIFUL 'White Perfect Accents' embellishments.

And that's all it took to upgrade today's card.

Do you have a favorite?????

 

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

Spot Light Sunday - Trail of Dragonflies

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from both the 2017 Occasions catalog and the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from each of those catalogs ........ So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........

I used the OH SO FANTASTIC 'Dragonfly Dreams' stamp set and 'Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies' to create my card share for today.

I began by stamping my thanks sentiment from the 'Dragonfly Dreams' set with Rich Razzleberry ink onto the lower right hand corner of my Whisper White cardstock.

Next I die-cut out the trailing dragonfly die with Rich Razzleberry cardstock.

My panel of Rich Razzleberry and Sweet Sugarplum was adhered down onto the left hand side of my Whisper White cardstock.......And before I adhered that panel down ...... I added some 'Whisper White 3/8" Succulent Garden' ribbon around the top.

And one final touch was adding five Rich Razzleberry Enamel Shapes to the front of my card.

This was a quick and easy card to pull together......But it packs a real punch of WOW FACTOR to the person it's going to.

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!
