Gable Box of 3x3 cards

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 FUN to create and the product is featured in 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' UP! catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......
How pretty is this gable box that I altered and filled with a set of three little 3"x3" cards.
I tucked all the handle pieces to this 'White Gable Box' inside the center of the box.  Then, I wrapped the box with some 'Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon' and added a flower from the 'Beautiful Promenade' set to the front.
Inside, I tucked three little 3" x 3" note cards.
I created two Whisper White cards ......
And one Petal Pink card.
Each card was topped off with more of the Petal Pink Metallic Ribbon.....
 
And I added a single stamped flower from the 'Beautiful Promenade' set to the front of each card.
To the bottom section of each card ....... I used the border trim die from the 'Beautiful Layers Thinlits'.
I stamped my sentiment in the lower right hand corner of each card ...... And added two 'Glitter Enamel Dots' right below the stamped sentiment.
This will make the perfect little gift for someone
very special on my birthday gift list.
  
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!

Thank You Upgrade Card

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 found in the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here is my Spot Light Sunday card on the TOP.....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today on the BOTTOM.....
I really gave this sweet little card a classic upgrade.....
I started out by adding a Whisper White panel to the front of my 'Memories & More White Note Card'.  I ran that panel thru my Big Shot using the 'Simple Stripes Embossing Folder'.  I also ran the Night of Navy circle thru my Big Shot using the 'Polka Dot Basics Embossing Folder' on that circle.
My sentiment was stamped with the 'Kindness & Compassion' set and I dangled 3-mini Calypso Coral flags from the bottom of that sentiment panel.  For an additional upgraded.......I added three of the 'Basic Sequins' that were colored in with my 'Night of Navy Stampin' Blends'.
I finished the center of each sequin off with a pearl right in the center.
The final touch was adding some 'Calypso Coral 1/8" Sheer Ribbon' around the top of my card
So tell me friends.......
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!

Thank You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   This card uses several products from that catalog ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
This is one of those cards that would be PERFECT in ANY color combination!
I started this card out by using my 'Simply Score Board' and going around the entire outside edge of my 'Memories & More White Note Card' and creating an embossed 1/4" border.
Next, I punched a 2" Night of Navy' circle and attached it to my note card.
Then......I stamped my sentiment from the 'Kindness & Compassion' set with Night of Navy ink onto a Whisper White panel.  I matted that panel with a panel of Pool Party card stock and finished that sentiment panel off with two of 'Basic Sequins' that were colored in with my 'Night of Navy Stampin' Blends'.
A final touch to this card was adding a single Pearl into the center of each colored sequin ...... and calling this card done!

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!

Congrats Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you the project I created using the June Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
This alternate card creation was SO MUCH FUN to create.
I used the product that came with the June kit ..... And only added two little strips of Black cardstock and some Black ink.  Everything else was included in the kit. 
I started this card out by adhering some of the Lemon Lime Twist paper that was included in the kit down the center of my card.  Next, I grabbed two 1/4" Black cardstock strips and attached those to both sides of the Lemon Lime Twist panel.  The three party cakes were added down the center of the Lemon Lime Twist panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.
The "Congrats" stamp was stamped two times and some of the Black/Gold Baker's Twine that was included in the kit was added to the front of this card.
A final touch was adding three of the sequins that came with this kit ....... And this card was done and ready to be given away.

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!

Thinking of You 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 TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Lets jump right in with my tag share for today........
How this for a BIG & BOLD looking tag!
I used three layers of the 'Pick A Pattern Washi Tape' across the bottom of my Whisper White tag.
Then I grabbed some 'Basic Black Solid Baker's Twine' and wrapped it around my tag and tied it up into a pretty bow.
My sentiment was stamped from the 'Darling Label Punch Box' set and cropped out with a 1-1/4" Circle Punch.  I punched out a Basic Black 'Darling Label Punch' and adhered my circle sentiment to the center of that punched out label piece.  I cut two small pieces of the 'Basic Black 1/2" Satin Ribbon' and had those pieces peaking out from behind the 'Darling Label Punch' piece.
I topped off my tag with more of the 'Basic Black 1/2" Satin Ribbon and secured it with some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.......
And this tag was DONE in NO TIME FLAT!!!

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!

It's A Beautiful Day 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........
I'm so happy with the way this card turned out.
I started with a Blackberry Bliss panel ....... And used the 'Simple Stripes Embossing Folder' to add a bit of fun texture to this panel.  I wrapped some 'Whisper White 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon' around the center of this panel and tied it up into a pretty knot before adhering it down to my Whisper White base card.
Next, I stamped the beautiful day sentiment from the "Love What You Do' set onto a Whisper White circle.  Then all I needed to do was mat that circle to a larger Rich Razzleberry circle.  The finishing touch for this sentiment circle was to add three 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls' to the top of this circle.
My pretty stamped flowers were created using the same 'Love What You Do' set.....
And that panel was matted to another Rich Razzleberry panel before adhering it down onto my card.
Have to admit that this color combination works GREAT.......
But I'm also imaging how much fun it will be
to try several other color combinations for this card.
 
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!
