Thanks 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 2022-2023 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 change I made to my upgraded version was change the size of my base card.  I used a 5-1/2" x 6-1/2" White base card and scored that piece at 2-1/4".  This gave a FUN little gate-fold style card.

Here's how that gate-fold style opens.

I did use the same 'Tahitian Tide Designer Series Paper' on the front of my card.

And I just increased the size of my front image panels with the help of the 'Scallop Contours Dies'.......

And used the same poppy image from the 'Flowers of Friendship' set.

Another upgrade I made to my card today was adding three banner flags to the right-hand edge of my image panel ..... And those were topped off with a single 'Glossy Dots Assortment'.

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

Wondering if 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!

Thank You

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2022-2023 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..........

My card today just makes me SMILE......BIG!!!  It uses LOTS of new products and I can't wait to share it with you.

I started this card off with a White base card.  To that, I added a panel of the 2022-2024 In-Color Designer Series Paper and that new color is Tahitian Tide (GOREGOUS OR WHAT!!!).

My center image panel was created with a Tahitian Tide frame ...... And that was cropped out with the help of the 'Scallop Contours Dies'.

My BEAUTIFUL poppy image was stamped from the 'Flowers of Friendship' set ...... And the sentiment is from the 'Art Gallery' set.

I did top my card off with some new 'Tahitian Tide Metallic Woven Ribbon'.  And all that was left to do was add a few 'Glossy Dots Assortment' pieces around the front of my card.

And that's all it took my friends to create my card share for today.

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!

Scrapbook Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My Scrapbook share for this week is a DARLING little album I got from 'ArtsyAlbums.shop' called "You Color My World".  It is designed to help you document a full year of what's happening in your world.  Here is what I created.

My scrapbook today has yet found a home ...... But I do have someone special in mind to gift it to.  This little album measures 8-1/2" x 6-1/2" and is PACKED FULL of 7-ADORABLE pages.

Again ....... Tracy has done an AMAZING JOB of creating an album that is LOADED with plenty of fold-out pages and extra hidden journaling spots.

This first page opens out with a FUN little fold-out page.

Pages 2 and 3 also have a fold-out section and LOADS of spots to get plenty of pictures captured inside this album.

Here is the fold out section of Page 3.

Pages 4 and 5 also have PLENTY of spots to add pictures.

And check out this AWESOME little pocket that is on Page 5.

These are Pages 6 and 7 ...... And no doubt about it ..... You can really fill both of these pages up with lots of photos.

Even the back of this album is covered to coordinate with the entire album.

Just couldn't be HAPPIER with the way this album turned out.

What do you think my friends?

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!

For All You Do

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........

Check out this SUPER FUN 2022-2024 In-Color tag.  

It spotlights all five new In-Colors.

I started off with a White base tag.  Then, I trimmed down 1/2" pieces of the five new In-Colors and created an Open-Weave pattern on the front of my tag.

Once I had all the 1/2" pieces of cardstock adhered down onto my tag ...... I got busy and cropped out several circles using my 'Stylish Shapes Dies' and the new '2022-2024 In-Color Glimmer Paper'.

And used the 'Happiness Abounds' stamp set to create my sentiment onto a 'Stylish Shapes Die' banner flag.

My tag was topped off with some 'Gray Granite 1/4" Shimmer Ribbon' that was color with my Tahitian Tide Stampin' Blends.

The finishing touch was adding three Glossy Dots' that were colored in using my new In-Color Stampin' Blends.

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

Tell me what you think.

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!

Cheers To 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........

This SUPER FUN card was created for a VERY SPECIAL man in my life.

I started with a Crumb Cake base card.  To that I added an Early Espresso cardstock panel.......

And I topped that panel off with two pieces of 'He's The Man Designer Series Paper'.

Before I adhered both of those panels down ...... I wrapped some 'Early Espresso 1/4" Faux Suede Trim' around it and tied it up into a pretty knot.

My sentiment is several layers of both the 'Stylish Shapes Dies' and the 'Painted Labels Dies'.

And my sentiment is cropped out from the labels included in the 'He's The Man Designer Series Paper' packet.

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

What do you think????

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! 

Thanks For Everything

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.

This DARLING project was shared by Angie at Chic n Scratch.  She shared this project back on her 12-Days of Christmas in 2021.  She created this project as a 3x3 card holder and called it Box #24 ....... I changed mine up to give as a treat gift.  Here is the link to her blog:  Home - Chic n Scratch

This little holder requires a 11" x 3-1/4" piece of Night of Navy cardstock.  It is scored at 4-3/4" and 6-1/4".  This creates the wrap around holder.  The box insert is a 5" x 3-3/8" piece of Old Navy cardstock and that piece is scored at 1" on all four sides.

I decorated my holder with the 'Sun Prints Designer Series Paper.

And added four YUMMY Ghirardelli chocolates to the inside.

My holder was topped off with some 'White 3/4" Frayed Ribbon' and I used my Night of Navy Stampin' Blends to change one piece of that ribbon to coordinate with my holder.

My sentiment was created with the 'Amazing Thanks Dies' and my sentiment was stamped from the 'Color & Contour' set.  I stamped those onto several 'Layering Circles' pieces.

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

Isn't it just ADORABLE!!!

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!
