3-Times Thank You

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2021-2022 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 started this card off with a White base card and decorated the four corners of my card with a 1" Gorgeous Grape circle that was cut into four sections. 

Each section of that cut circle was adhered to each of the four corners on my card front.

Next, I got busy and die-cut three 'Tailor Made Tags' and stamped my sentiment into the center of each of those tags.

My sentiment is from the 'Flowers of Friendship' set ..... And I attached a small piece of 'Gorgeous Grape Sheer Ribbon' to the left hand end of those tags.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Pastel Pearls' around the front of my card.....

And calling this card DONE!!!

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 April 'So Cool' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

I started out with a White base card and added a panel of Blackberry Bliss and Bumblebee card stock to the top of my base card.

Before I adhered the Bumblebee card stocck panel down ....... I used the 'Painted Texture Embossing Folder' to create some CREATIVE texture on the Bumblebee card stock piece.....And then adhered it down to the Blackberry Bliss card stock piece.

I did add three 1/2" x 3-3/4" panels of Blackberry Bliss across the front of my card.....

And ahered my sentiment circles on the left hand side of each of those three Blackberry Bliss panels.

And this card was DONE in NO TIME FLAT!!!

Gather Happy Moments

 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........

I just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this tag turned out.

I started out with a Daffodil Delight 5" x 3" base tag.

Next, I grabbed one of the 'Hand-Penned Memories & More Cards' and positioned it into the center of my base tag.  I framed out my Memories & More Card by adding a 1/4" x 3" panel of Soft Succulent card stock to the top and bottom of that card and that helped me create the PERFECT little frame.

Here is what the sentiment section of my tag looks like.

And can you stand it ....... It's a Memories & More card.

I stamped some flowers from the 'Flowers For Friendship' set and used the new 'Flowers & Leaves Punch to crop out six pretty little flowers.

I topped my tag off with some 'Soft Succulent Open Weave Ribbon' and tied that ribbon up into a pretty bow.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Pastel Pearls' to the center of each little flower ..... And this tag was called DONE in no time flat.

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!

You Are Amazing

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........

How's this ..... for what some might consider ..... the "PERFECT KADIE CARD".  And that would mainly be because I LOVE the color PINK!!!

I started this card off with my ALL TIME FAVORITE Stampin' UP! Color ...... Melon Mambo.  To that ...... I added a panel of White card stock and began building my pretty card.

I used the 'In Bloom' set to stamp my sentiment.  I stamped that in the upper left hand corner with (of course) Melon Mambo ink.

Then I added a 1-1/4" x 4-1/2" panel of 'Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper' across the bottom portion of that White panel ...... And finished that DSP panel off with a 1/2" x 4-1/2" piece of Melon Mambo cardstock across the center.

Then I got busy cropping out some pretty flowers from the 'Pierced Blooms Dies' and arranged those on the right hand side of my card.

The finishing touch was adding some of the new 'Loose Flowers Flourishes' around the front of my card ..... And added some black stitching lines around the outer edge of my white panel before calling this card DONE!!!

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!

Hand Sanitizer Gift 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 I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Check out this ADORABLE Hand Sanitizer Box I created for my Scissors and the City Retreat friends.  This little CUTIE was created by Chris Slogar at Buckeye Inklings back on 9/16/2020.  I won't bore you with the measurments on how to create this project.  Here is a link to the YouTube Video that Chris created:  (4) Hand Sanitizer Shadow Box - YouTube

This little cutie holds a Bath & Body Works little bottle of hand sanitizer.  And the BEST PART......It fits PERFECTLY inside like a little book.

I decorated mine with some retired Stampin' UP! Designer Series Paper......Only because I knew mine would end up on display in my "PINK STUDIO".........And I wanted it to match the whole pink theme I have going on.

Check out what happens when you open the lid to reveal what's inside

Now.....Please forgive how beat-up my box is.  I took it to the Scissors Retreat and it got LOTS of LOVE from the other guest who stopped to admire it.

The best part of this box is ...... Once you get it completely assemblied.......It stays connected as one piece.  No worries on the belly band slipping off.  

The little tab on the side of the box slips right under the label piece on the top of the box........and that secures the box closed.

Just couldn't be happier with the way this project turned out.  And MANY THANKS to Chris Slogar for the great engineering job at creating this DARLING little project.

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!

You Are The Best 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 2021-2022 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

The first upgrade I made to my card for today was changing the orientation from a portrait style card to a landscape style card.

I kept the same torn panels of 'Hand-Penned Designer Series Paper' ....... But today I positioned them on the left hand edge of my portrait style card.  Before I adhered that completed panel down ...... I wrapped some of the new 'Evening Evergreen Open Weave Ribbon' around that DSP panel and tied it up into a pretty bow.

Next, I added three of the 'Dragonflies' punch pieces to the front of my card.  I used the yellow portion of the 'Rainbow Glimmer Paper' to create those three dragonflies.

And for my sentiment ..... I used the same 'Tasteful Touches' stamp set ...... But for this upgraded version, I stamped each of the words onto a 'Stitched Rectangle Dies' panel and stacked those words onto a small Evening Everygreen'Stitched Rectangle Dies' piece.  I added each of those words to the right hand edge of my card.

And that's all it took to upgrade this card.

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!
