Play Date with the PALS

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today I have a special post to share with you........One that spot lights not only NEW PRODUCT but also spot lights NEW PAL FRIENDS.

My good friend Mary Fish invited me to come down to her house yesterday afternoon to spend the day playing with the Stampin' UP! PALS.  Needless to say..........I jumped at this fabulous opportunity to spend the day with these amazing ladies.   It was a glorious day of creating ....... stamping ........ and learning some great tips from all the PALS who attended.  Let me jump right in and share this day with you......

There was plenty for us to work on in Mary's beautiful kitchen.....

We are creating a fabulous Make n' Take here (Thanks Pam for bringing this all the way from Atlanta).  We made a gorgeous notecard holder that I will share with you next week.

There were Punches.......Framelits.......Adhesive and Cardstock just flying around the room most of the day.

But the single most impressive work came when we teamed up and started working on the new Build A Bouquet Simply Created Kit.

These Poppy Flowers are just BEAUTIFUL.......

And the Crisp Cantaloupe Wild Roses are what I helped to make.

There were also Pool Party Chrysanthemum and White Daisy Flowers made.

Needless to say........We didn't complete this kit.....but we did do a good job of TRASHING Mary's studio!  Thanks Mary for including me in on this fun day......I had a great time!

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another Wonderous Wreath card ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Holiday Cheer Wreath

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

Today I want to continue my everything Christmas card show-case with you.  I have created another pretty amazing Wonderous Wreath cars and want to share that with you today.  Let's jump right in with my card.......

How fabulous is this Lost Lagoon holiday card......

I stamped my "holiday cheer" with Lost Lagoon ink onto Whisper White cardstock and then created a banner flag on on end....and matted it with a piece of Lost Lagoon cardstock.

My tree was stamped with Pear Pizzazz ink and I used Silver Dazzling Detail for the berries.  And I used a piece of new 3/8" Lost Lagoon Silky Taffeta Ribbon to create my darling bow.

And here's a close-up of the Silver Dazzling Detail berries!

Merry Christmas Wreath

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today I want to continue my everything Christmas card show-case with you.  I have created another pretty amazing Wonderous Wreath card and want to share that with you today. 

This was a CASE Card I saw on Stampin' Connection that was done by Angela Henninger.

I used the Wonderous Wreath set to create my wreath.  I used Garden Green ink.......

And stamped the "Merry Christmas" from the Merry Everything set.

I also used the On Point Textured Impressions Embossing Folder on my Garden Green panel and the DSP on this card is from the Trim the Tree DSP Stack.

Wreath Banner Cards 3/4

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Today I want to continue my everything Christmas card show-case with you.  I have created two more Wonderous Wreath cards and want to share those with you today.  Let's jump right in with my first card share for today........

This card uses the Trim the Tree DSP Stack for my main background panel.

I stamped my wreath in Pear Pizzazz and Mossy Meadow........and added several Rhinestones around my wreath.  For a fun surprise layer.....I added a Tea Lace Paper Doilies over my Pear Pizzazz banner piece and adhered my wreath with dimensionals to the doilies.

A pretty Cherry Cobbler Seam Binding Ribbon was the final touch to this beautiful holiday card.

And my next card takes a leap towards the HAPPY PLAYFUL side of Christmas.

I used the Trim the Tree DSP Stack and created this Cherry Cobbler scallop pattern for the base of my card.  Kind of reminds me of Elf Stockings........

I used the Snowflake Card Thinlits Dies to die-cut out my "Joy" sentiment.......And I used Cherry Cobbler cardstock for that.  My tree was stamped in Pear Pizzazz and Cherry Cobbler Dazzling Detail was added for the berries.  My final touch as a piece of 1-1/4" Burlap Ribbon.....that I ran right down the center of my card and then positioned my die-cut wreath onto the burlap ribbon.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you another Christmas Wreath card .......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

And used Red Glimmer Paper to create my "Noel" and bow.

My second card uses Whisper White and Real Red cardstock.

I stamped my wreath image with Mossy Meadow ink and used Silver Glimmer Paper for my "Noel" die-cut image.

For my banner I ran it through the Big Shot using the strip embossing folder and added a Glimmer Paper bow for a touch of fun.

And then stamped my Wonderous Wreath image onto Whisper White cardstock using Garden Green Ink.  My bow was stamped with Cherry Cobbler ink.....onto Cherry Cobbler cardstock.
