In Color 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........

 

Today we are spot-lighting the new 2020-2022 In-Colors.

 

This tag starts out with a Whisper White base tag.  Next, I used the 'Lovely Labels Pick Punch' to crop out one end of each of the new In-Colors.  I snugged each of those pieces side-by-side and created some real fun by changing up the level of each color.

 

My sentiment is from the 'Borders Abound' set.  And I cropped that little cutie out with the 'Tasteful Labels' die.

 

The top of my tag was finished off with some BumbleBee 1/4" Gingham Ribbon ...... And I added a 2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dot to the top of each In-Color piece.

 

Couldn't be happier with the way this tag turned out.

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!

I Spy Challenge

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........

 

Last month ....... I asked my downline team to create something/anything with product from the 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Catalog for our May On-Line Challenge.  I decided to create this pretty note card using the new 'Flowers For Every Season Memories & More Card Pack'.

 

I used a Whisper White note card ....... And adhered one of the journal cards from the Memories & More Card Pack to the front.

 

I grabbed the 'Celebration of Tags' set and stamped my sentiment in the center of the square block on this journal card.

 

Just couldn't be any easier.......

And the Memories & More Card Pack has 50-double-sided cards.......

So you can make LOTS of pretty note cards with this packet.

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!

Ghiradelli Holder

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.

 

My CASE for today is an oldie......but a goodie.  It was shared by Becky Roberts at Inking Idaho back on January 27, 2014.  Here is the UTube Video she shared: https://youtu.be/5ggIONsSKIs

 

This little Ghiradelli Candy Holder is a 3"x5" piece of Magenta Madness card stock that is scored at 2-1/4" and 2-1/2". 

 

I used the 'Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper' to cover the front of my holder.  And I used the new Magenta Madness Twill Ribbon to secure my holder closed.

 

The holder is made with the Envelope Punch Board ...... And those measurements are described in Becky's UTube video.

 

Here is what the Holder will look like after you have it all punched, scored and cut.

 

I used the 'Monogram Messages' set to stamp my fun little Hello sentiment on the tab.  And I positioned two Just Jade 'Enamel Dots' on both sides of that stamped sentiment.

    

Needing a quick and easy kind of treat.......

Stop right here and create one of these little cuties!!!

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!

Sunflower 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 I added a couple additional products found in the 2020-2021 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 LEFT.....

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

 

What a GREAT way to say Thank You!

 

I started out with a Cinnamon Cider base card ...... And added a panel of 'Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper' to the bottom.

 

My sentiment from the 'Best Year' set was stamped in the bottom right hand corner of that Designer Series Paper.  Before adhering that sentiment panel down to my card ...... I wrapped some 'Cinnamon Cider 1/4" Twill Ribbon' around it and tied up a pretty knot.

 

My extra large sunflower was stamped with the 'Celebrate Sunflowers' set.  I used VersaMark ink and Cinnamon Cider ink ........ And then sprinkled it with 'Clear Embossing Powder' to give it a pretty shine.

 

I used the 'Sunflower Dies' to crop out that image and then popped it onto the front of my card with some 'Stampin' Dimensionals'.

 

The finishing touch was adding three little 'Cinnamon Cider Enamel Dots' to the front of my card ........ And this card was done in a HOT Arizona minute.

 

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!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020-2021 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'm IN LOVE with this Sunflower set.

 

I started out with a Whisper White base card ...... And added a panel of Cinnamon Cider to the bottom of my card.  To the top of that card stock panel ...... I added a panel of the 'Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper'.

 

Then I got busy and stamped three sunflowers from the 'Celebrate Sunflowers' set with Bumblebee ink.  The coordinating 'Sun Flower Dies' made it a snap to crop out all three flowers.  And all I needed to do was sprinkle them around the front of my card.

 

My sentiment is from the 'Best Year' set and I used Cinnamon Cider ink to stamp that pretty and bold sentiment.

 

My finishing touch was adding a few '2020-2022 In Color Enamel Dots around the front of my card ...... And this card was done in no time flat.

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!

June Paper Pumpkin Alternate Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you one of the alternate projects I created using the June 'Box of Sunshine' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

This little cutie was created using all the product in the June Paper Pumpkin kit.  The only additional product I used was some Whisper White card stock and a fun little die.

 

The Whisper White card stock piece along with the sweet little die I used on this card helped me create a fun little sunshine panel.  I used the 'Poppy's Moment Dies' and cropped out 4-little sunburst images on the Whisper White panel.  I filled the center of each sunburst with one of the sequins that came with this kit.

 

My sentiment (from the June kit) was stamped onto one of the pretty labels that came with this kit.  And I used the black & white poka-dot stickers that came with this kit to add a decorate panel on the front of my card.

 

The black & white poka-dot stickers were also used to frame-out the Whisper White panel ...... And the finishing touch was adding a few of the sequins (that came with this kit) around the front of my card.

 

 And that's all it took my friends.......

What do you think????

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!
