Wonderful

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 am COMPLETELY in love with the way this card turned out.

I started out with a White base card and added a 4" x 5-1/4" 'Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper' to the top.  Before I started working on my sentiment piece ..... I created a pink and white layering circle and ran the pink circle through my embossing machine using the 'Stripes & Splatter Embossing Folder'.  This was going to be adhered behind my sentiment panel.

My sentiment was stamped using the 'Celebrating You' set......

I layered my sentient onto another panel of the 'Abstract Beauty Designer Series Paper'......

And before I adhered that completed down to my card ....... I wrapped some 'Polish Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon' around the left-hand side and tied it up into a pretty knot.

The finishing touch was adding three 'Genial Gems' that were colored in using my Polish Pink Stampin' Blends.

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!

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3D/CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you and I must admit ....... It's a SUPER FUN project to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

I stumbled across the closure design of this box and FELL IN LOVE with the look.  There weren't any directions or information on how to create this look ...... So, I created my own.  I used a 8" x 8" Thick White cardstock and stacked my four notecards inside the center.  I traced around those cards and added 1/2" on all four sides.  I clipped the corner and created four tabs for my holder.

Here's the fun closure I was looking to create.

All I need to do was create a notecard box and after covering it with DSP.......using my Craft Knife to cut two slits in the bottom section of my holder.

And here is what my holder looks like after I had all my corners cut and DSP attached.

My sentiment for the front was created using the 'Bragworthy' set and I cropped out my labels with the 'Hippo & Friends Dies'.  I used the 'Flower & Leaves Punch' and the 'Brough Punch' to decorate three flowers on the front of my box.

And here's what it looks like when I pop open my holder to reveal the four notecards I made for the inside.

All four cards were designed with the 'Friendly Hello DSP'.....

And the 'Bragworthy' Set....

Each card also has some 'White Baker's Twine' around the center....

And I also decorated each envelope with more 'Friendly Hello DSP'.

And here is what it looks like when all four cards and coordinating envelopes are tucked inside.

So there you have it friends......

A FABULOUS gift for that someone 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!

Thank 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 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 Spotlight Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP.....

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

The first upgrade I made for my card today was changing it up into a FUN FOLD style card.  This fun fold is what looks like 2-front panels on the front of my card .......but one panel is on the front of the card and the other is actually on the inside of my card.  I started with a 4-1/4" x 8-1/4" White base card and scored it at 5-1/2".

This fold allowed me to create two framed panels to be seen on the front of my card.  But one of those frames was actually adhered to the inside of my card.  The two panels were made from Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape cardstock and a panel of the 'Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper'.

When I open my card ....... I have plenty of writing section on the inside of my card.

The sentiment panel is created with the same 'Sunny Sentiments' set and it is layered onto several cardstock layers.

I used some White Bakers Twine that was colored with my Dark Highland Heather Blends and wrapped that around the left hand-side of my sentiment panel.

The final addition for my upgraded card for today was stacking three little hearts from the 'Sweete Heart Dies' to the right-hand side of my sentiment panel.

So, there you have it friends......

Which one do you like the 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!

Thank You

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 and 2021 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..........

This card just makes me HAPPY!

I started with a White base card and added a layer of Gorgeous Grape cardstock and topped it off with a 'Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper' panel.

Next, I got busy creating my sentiment panel.  I used several cardstock layers and a White panel.  I stamped my sentiment from the 'Sunny Sentiments' set using Gorgeous Grape ink.

I added a thin 1/2" x 3-3/4" 'Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper' to the top and bottom section of that White panel.  I also added three little hearts from the 'Sweet Heart Dies' and added some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to the top for a SUPER FUN SHINE!

The final touch for my card today was adding some 'Gorgeous Grape 3/8" Sheer Ribbon' around the fold of my card and I tied it up into a pretty bow.

So, there you have it friends......

What do you think????

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 February Safari Celebration Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

I'm pretty crazy with the way this DARLING card turned out.

I started out with one of the base cards from this kit.

Next, I created a layering panel piece for my elk to sit on.  Then, I adhered three of the sentiment pieces (that came with this kit) to the back of that layering piece.

I added a sentiment piece across the front of my elk ...... And that stamp set was included in this February kit.

There you have it friends.......

Cute or What!!!!!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spotlight Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Every Act of Kindness 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........

I created this tag for the Rehab Team that took care of Jack after he had his stroke.

I started out with a White base tag and stamped my sentiment from the 'Here Together' set directly to the top.

Next, I stamped my heart hands (from that same set) and used the 'Here For You' dies to crop those hands out. 

I colored those hands in and then adhered them directly to the bottom of my tag.

My tag was topped off with a bow made from the 'Real Red 3/8" Double-Stitched Ribbon' .......

And the finishing touch was adding several 'Classic Matte Dots' around the front of my tag.  I just know the therapy team LOVED receiving this little gift from us.

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!
