Merry & Bright 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 ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

This tag will look PERFECT on any gift this holiday season!

I started this tag off by running a Balmy Blue tag through the Big Shot with the 'Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder'.  To add a touch of ELEGANT PRETTY to my tag ........ I added a thin piece of 'Silver Foil Paper' to the top and bottom portion of my embossed tag.

Next, I die-cut a Night of Navy 'Scallop Layering Circle' and added a 'Silver Foil' circle to the top.  I topped off this piece with a sentiment stamped from the 'Christmas Traditions Punch Box Kit' and adhered that stamped piece directly onto the Silver Foil circle.

I finished this tag off with a piece of the OH SO YUMMY 'Night of Navy 1/2" Gingham Ribbon' and secured it in place with some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

I can't tell you how THRILLED I am with how this tag turned out.....

It looked AMAZING on a pretty bottle of Wine!!!!!

 

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!

Christmas Wishes Gift Card Holder

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........

Looking for a quick gift card holder........Check out this little cutie.

I started out by using the 'Peaceful Poinsettia' set to stamp my holiday wish onto a Whisper White oval piece with Cherry Cobbler ink.

Next, I create the gift card holder piece with a piece of Whisper White card stock that measures 4 x 6 and scored at 3".  You will use the 'Envelope Punch Board' to line the left hand edge of the Whisper White card stock to the inside edge of the punching mechanism and punch that piece.  Now slide that piece over to the 2" mark and punch.  You will rotate your Whisper White card stock piece to the opposite side and do the same measurements to that side.  The last step to creating your holder piece is to use your paper trimmer to create the tab section of both the front and back sections.

To keep my holder closed ......... I wrapped a piece of  'Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon' around my holder and tied a pretty knot in the front.

I finished my holder off by adding a fun little "Do not open till Christmas!" message to the top tag.  I used the 'Signs of Santa' set and Cherry Cobbler ink to create that fun little message.

And that's how quick and easy this gift card holder comes together.

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!

Easel Post-It-Note Holder

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 both the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog and the 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

This darling little Post-It-Note Holder was designed by my great friend Mary Fish.  She made me one of these back in August ......... And I knew I wanted to recreate it and share it with my Saddle-UP! friends.  Here is the link to Mary's post https://stampinpretty.com/2018/08/country-home-easel-post-it-note-holder.html

I started my holder out with the 'Wishing You Well' set.

The Crumb Cake base piece measures 3-1/2 x 11.  That piece is scored at 2-3/4 and 5-1/2.  To create the easel portion you need another piece of Crumb Cake that measures 3-1/2 x 4-3/4" and adhere that piece to the front partial panel with Tear n Tape Adhesive.  This will create the easel portion of your holder and all that you'll need t do is position your Post it Note pad to the bottom section of your base piece.

The stamped panel was adhered to the front of my holder and this project came together that fast.

I must admit ........These make an AWESOME GIFT ....... and your family and friends will LOVE LOVE LOVE receiving one this holiday season.  THANK YOU MARY FOR SHARING THIS DARLING PROJECT WITH ME!!!!

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!

Stylish Christmas Upgrade

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 both the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog and the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the BOTTOM....

For my upgraded card........I did some soft upgrading.

I kept the 'Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper' on the bottom portion of my card ........ And I also kept the 'Cherry Cobbler Double-Stitched Ribbon' around that bottom DSP panel.

I added the "JOY" die-cut pieces from the 'Large Letters Framelits' dies ...... And used Whisper White card stock to create those letters.

My poinsettia flower was stamped from the 'Stylish Christmas' set and I used my Paper Snips to fussy cut out that flower.

I punched out two sprigs from the 'Sprig Punch' and tucked those behind my popped up poinsettia flower.

Just couldn't be happier with the way this upgraded card turned out.

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!

Stylish Christmas Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog and the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   This card uses several products from both of those catalogs ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

So HAPPY with the way this card turned out.

I began by stamping my "Season's Greetings" sentiment from the 'Stylish Christmas' set with VersaMark ink and then sprinkling it with 'White Embossing Powder'.

I added a panel of the 'Festive Farmhouse Christmas Designer Series Paper' to the bottom of my Cherry Cobbler base card.  Before I adhered that panel down to my card ........ I wrapped some 'Cherry Cobbler 1/4" Double-Stitched Ribbon' around that DSP and tied it up into a pretty knot.

My poinsettia was stamped from the same 'Stylish Christmas' set with Cherry Cobbler ink.  I stamped that flower onto a large Whisper White stitched circle piece.

And that's all it took my friends to create this pretty holiday card.

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!
