For You Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you another alternate project I created using the May Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
I started this card out with a Very Vanilla card base.
I added a panel of Soft Suede card stock across the center of my card and added some of the new 'Petal Pink 5/8" Organdy Striped Ribbon' around one end of that Soft Suede panel and tied it into a pretty knot.
Next, I layered a square of Petal Pink and Soft Suede card stock onto the center of my card.  I cut down one of the card fronts from this kit and layered that onto to top of my card stock panels......
And then grabbed my Paper Snips and fussy cut out one of the bird nest.  After I had it all snipped out .......I adhered it to the front of my card.  My sentiment was stamped onto a Petal Pink banner flag and that was adhered to the lower left corner of my bird nest.
All that was left to do was punch out three little eggs and arrange them in the center of my bird nest.
Don't you just love how this card turned out???
 
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!

Hot Air Balloon 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........
Talk about having fun creating this tag......
To start out.......I stamped my sentiment with Gorgeous Grape ink using the 'Above the Clouds' set.
Next, I used that same set and stamped some clouds at the top of my tag with Basic Gray ink.  I did stamp off twice so the clouds were soft and fluffy looking.
Next, I stamped three hot air balloons.......Two in Highland Heather and one in Gorgeous Grape.  I used the 'Hot Air Balloon Punch' to crop out all three of those balloons......
And before I adhered those down onto my tag ...... I added three tiny pieces of 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' to the bottom of each balloon for some added FUN.
To each balloon ...... I added some 'Basic Pearls' that I colored in every other one with my 'Highland Heather Stampin' Blends'.
And the finishing touch was adding a small piece of the 'Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon' to the top of my tag and then tied it off into a knot at the top.
So HAPPY with how FESTIVE this tag looks.

Believe You Can 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........
Who wouldn't LOVE receiving this card!!!
I started out with one of the 'Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards' for my base card.  These BEAUTIFUL Kraft cards have a special White Foil Accent around the center of each card ........ And all I needed to do was build onto that. 
I used the 'Stitched Nested Label Dies' to die cut both a Whisper White and Silver Foil label.
Next, I used the 'Believe You Can' set and stamped my sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Silver Embossing Powder' and then heat set it.
My three flowers were punched out with Rich Razzleberry card stock and I used the 'Four-Petal Flower Punch' to create those three flowers.
And the final step was adding some 'Silver Thread' behind the 'Stitched Nested Label Dies' and I was able to call this card done!
A pretty quick and easy card to make........And with all the silver embossing on it.......It will surely make someone feel extra special when they receive it.

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!

Beth Beard's 3x3 Box

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
Today, I have a DARLING little 3x3 box that was created by the very talented Beth Beard.  She created this project back on January 12, 2012......but it's remains a classic even today.  Here's the link to her UTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNtdng4uEnU
This show's what the back of the box looks like.  I covered my entire box with the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper'.
I even took the time to line the outside and inside of my box.  The only section of my box that I didn't line was the inside bottom.  The box was created with a 7-1/4" x 8" piece of Thick Whisper White card stock.  I score the 8" side at 2" and 4".  And on the 7-1/4" side....I scored it at 2" and 5-1/4". 
And the boxes holds 6-DARLING little 3x3 cards.......
And 6-coordinating envelopes.
The 3x3 cards were all created with a small panel of the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper' across the top and bottom of each card front.  And then I punched out a Basic Black 'Starburst' punch piece for each card and layered it with a Whisper White Circle.
 
On each Whisper White circle ..... I used the 'Magnolia Memory Dies' to crop out one of the flowers on the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper'.
For the front of my little 3x3 box ...... I stamped my sentiment from the 'Parcel & Petals' set and layered it onto another 'Starburst Punch' piece and Whisper White circle.
 
Just couldn't be happier with the way this project turned out......And just know it's going to make a special little gift for 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!

Thinking of You 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 the 2019-2020 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 card for today on the BOTTOM....
I'm totally LOVING this upgraded card.
I used the same pink 'Scallop Note Card' for my upgraded card .......

But ended up adding a Mossy Meadow panel to the inside of my card ...... So when the card was closed a small amount of the Mossy Meadow green was showing.
For my upgraded card, I used the same 'Good Morning Magnolia' set ...... But I quickly sprinkled it with Clear Embossing Powder' and heat set it to get a pretty shine to my sentiment.
I added a small panel of the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper' to the top of my card ....... And then used the scallop die from the 'Budding Blooms Dies' to add a small Mossy Meadow scallop piece under my Designer Series Paper. 
The flower was fussy cut from the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper' and adhered down onto a Whisper White 'Stitched Circle Die' piece.
So that's all it took my friends.......
Which one do you like best????
 
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!

Thinking of You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2019-2020 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........
I just couldn't be happier with the way this card turned out.
This card starts off with one of the new pink 'Scallop Note Cards'.
I used the 'Good Morning Magnolia' set and stamped my sentiment with Mossy Meadow ink in the lower left hand corner.
Next, I used the 'Layering Circle Dies' to create a Mossy Meadow and Whisper White circle piece ........ And fussy cut out two of the pretty flowers from the 'Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper.  All I needed to do was adhered those down onto my Whisper White circle and this card was nearly finished.
The finishing touch was adding some of the OH SO YUMMY 'Magnolia Lane' Linen Ribbon around the top of my card ....... And then tied it up into a pretty knot.
Dare I say again.......I LOVE THIS 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!
