3-Stocking 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 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

The first change I made to my upgraded card for today was to change the orientation from landscape to portrait.  I also changed my card base from a Whisper White note card to a Balmy Blue note card.

I added a larger panel of the 'Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper' to the bottom section of my Whisper White panel......

And added a piece of 'Seaside Spray 1/4" Metallic Ribbon' across the top seam of that Designer Series Paper panel.

My stockings were stamped from the same 'Holly Jolly Christmas' set ...... And colored in with the same Stampin' Blend Markers.  And I used the same 'Itty Bitty Christmas' set to stamp my sentiment.

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!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2019 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog and 2019-2020 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from both of those catalogs and I'm simply thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

I'm just crazy about how this holiday card turned out.

Especially since there is a stocking for Jack....Monster.....and Me.

I started out by adhering a thin panel of DSP from the 'Night Before Christmas' Designer Series pack to the bottom of my Whisper White top panel.

Right above that DSP panel ........ I stamped my sentient from the 'Itty Bitty Christmas' set with Night of Navy ink.

My three stockings were stamped from the 'Holly Jolly Christmas' set ...... And I stamped those on Balmy Blue card stock.

I used my 'Stampin' Blends' to color in the detail on each stocking.

And that's how fast this card came together.

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!

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 November 'Winter Gifts' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This card was completed using the material that was included in the November Paper Pumpkin kit.

The only additional product I used to complete this card was the Shaded Spruce base card......

Along with cropping out all four corners of the Whisper White panel with the 'Detailed Trio Corner Punch'.

I used the sentiment that came with this kit......

And did use my 'Stampin' Blends' to color in several 'Pearls' for the front of my card.

I'm just thrilled with the way 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!

Bird Season

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My normal blog post for Thursdays is Tag Thursday ...... But for the month of December ...... I'm going to share some Holiday cards I created.  Check out this SUPER PRETTY card I created.

 

How adorable is this little card!!!

 

I started out with a Whisper White base card and added a Real Red panel to the top.  Next, I added two panels of the 'Let It Snow Designer Series Paper' to the top and bottom section of my card.

 

After I had my DSP adhered to my card ...... I stamped my sentiment from the 'Birds of a Feather' set and used Black Embossing Powder to help that sentiment POP off the DSP.

 

My little Christmas bird was stamped from the same 'Birds of a Feather' set and I used the 'Layering Circles Dies' for that little cutie. 

 

The finishing touch was adding some 3/8" Red Cotton Ribbon around the two DSP seams and this card was done in a jiffy.

 

So what do you think my friends.......

ADORABLE or WHAT!!!

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!

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 started this card off with a Whisper White base card ....... And added a 5" x 3-3/4" panel of Night of Navy card stock to the top.

 

I used the 'Stitched Stars Dies' to create my trail of pretty stars..... 

 

 And stamped my sentiment with the 'So Many Stars' set.  

I used VersaMark ink and Whisper White Embossing Powder to really help that sentiment POP off the card. 

 

The finishing touch was adding two tiny stars and dropping a Night of Navy jewels from the 'Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels' into the center of each of those stars.

 

Just crazy about the way this card turned out.

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!

Elfie 3x3 Box

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 was SUPER FUN to create and want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

 

This project was inspired by http://intatwynedesigns.co.uk

It was posted on 10/11/2019 and I just put my own spin on it.  Her website is down for some maintenance.......So I can't even link you to her original project.  Hopefully........It will be up and running soon.....And you can link to her blog for additional details.

 

Both of these boxes start out with a Whisper White base.  The measurements are 6" x 8-1/4".  Score on the 6" side at 1-1/4" on both ends.  Then turn your card stock and score on the 8-1/4" side at 3-1/2" and then turn and score the other end at 3-1/2" again.

 

For the lid, I used both Real Red and Shaded Spruce.  You will need a piece of card stock that meausres 6-1/16" x 3-13/16".  Score all four sides at 1-1/4".

    

For the front and sides of my box......I used DSP that measures 3-1/4" x 2-3/4".

 

Here's how the Shaded  Spruce box turned out.......

 

And here is how the Real Red box turned out.

 

For the 3"x3" cards that are tucked inside the Shaded Spruce box .......

I used DSP that measures 2-3/4" x 1"

 

And I used the exact same measurements for the Real Red box.

 

I created several of these for my Wisconsin scrapbooking retreat.

And the ladies LOVE 'EM!!!!!

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!
