Daisy Congrats

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........
What a GREAT way to say congratulations to someone special.
 
This tag starts off with a Whisper White base and a Granny Apple Green frame die-cut from the 'Ornate Layers Dies'.
 
In the center of my pretty die piece......I added a stamped daisy image from the 'Ornate Style' set.  I colored that daisy in with my 'Stampin' Blends' ........ And then added some 'Fine Tip Glue' to the center of my daisy for a little WOW FACTOR.
 
My sentiment is from the 'Label Me Bold' set and I used Melon Mambo ink to give a real POP of color to this tag.
 
I finished off my tag with some Granny Apple Green Ribbon.......And added a pretty bow with some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.
 
 So there you have it friends......
What do you think????

I Miss You

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........
 
Check out this SUPER FUN way of telling someone special that you miss them.
 
All this card takes is a 1" circle punch to create a grid on the front of a Whisper White base card. 
 
I arranged a total of twelve 1" circles punched out from both Terracotta Tile card stock and the new 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' for the front of my card.
 
I added the new 'Ornate Garden Ribbon' around the top of my card ....... And tied it up into a pretty bow to add a bit more pretty to my card.
  
My sentiment was stamped from the 'Itty Bitty Greetings' set and I positioned that circle in the bottom right hand corner of my card.
 
 So there you have it friends......
A FUN and PRETTY card for you to CASE.

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!

Ornate SuitCase

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 I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
    
Check out this ADORABLE mini suitcase that was designed by Sally Stamper.  She posted this project on her blog March 19, 2020 and it just couldn't be any easier to create.  Check out her AMAZING video ..... and maybe make one for yourself.
http://sallystampers.com/2020/03/19/country-club-suitcase/ 
I created my suitcase to hold six cards with coordinating envelopes ...... But you could also create this to hold a small gift.
 
I used Terracotta card stock to create my suitcase ....... And decorated the suitcase and cards inside with the 'Ornate Garden Suite'.  I started out by adding the 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' to the front and sides of my suitcase.
 
 The corners of my suitcase were decorated with the 'Gilded Gems'....
 
And those Gems were also added to the handle at the top of my suitcase.
 
 Inside the suitcase are 6-cards and coordinating envelopes.
 
Each card is decorated with the 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper'......
 
Along with the 'Ornate Thanks' stamp set and 'Ornate Layers Dies'.
 
The pretty 'Ornate Garden Ribbon' was added to the top of each Designer Series Paper panel.....
 
 And this project is ready to give to someone special.
So my friends.......What do you think???

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!

Back On Your Feet 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 changed up a few things to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
 
Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT.....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the RIGHT.....
 
No new product was used on my Mix-It-UP! Monday card ........ But I did use lots of new layers to create this upgraded card.
 
I started out by changing my base card from Whisper White to Pool Party.
 
Next, I added several Whisper White layers to both the DSP panel and the shoe panel.
 
I also upgraded my shoes by changing them from a White pair to a Pool Party pair.......And that was done with my 'Pool Party Stampin' Blends'.
 
I also changed up the bow and wrapped that around the top of my upgraded card before calling this card done.
 
So what do you think my 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!

Back On Your Feet

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini 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..........
 
How FUN is this card!
 
I started this card off with a panel of the 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper' ........ And layered that onto a Whisper White base card.
 
Before I adhered that DSP panel down ..... I wrapped some 'Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding' around the left hand side and tied it up into a pretty bow.
 
My sentiment is from the 'Back On Your Feet' set and the shoes are from the 'Dressed To Impress' set.  I used my 'Pool Party Stampin' Blends' to color in some dots on my shoes......
 
And before calling this card done ........ I used that same 'Stampin' Blends' to color in three 'Basic Pearls' and adding those to the bottom right hand corner of my 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!

Mother's Day Gift 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 April, 'My Wonderful Family' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
 
This card was SO MUCH FUN to create!
 
I created this gift card holder with left over pieces from my April Paper Pumpkin kit.
 
I used Tear n' Tape and adhered both sides of my card together ....... And that created a fun little gift card holder.
 
 I used the pieces that were included in the kit......
 
 And added some Crush Curry card stock.....
 
 And adhered my gift card to that card stock panel.
 
The only additional product that I added was some 'Mint Macaron Sheer Linen Ribbon' ...... And that helped secure the top flap of my card closed.
 
So what do you think my friends????

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!
