Happy New Baby Tag

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have fun little tag to share with you.  It's made with the new stamp set "One Tag Fits All" set.  I received this set as a free gift for attending the Stampin' UP! Kick-Off Occasions catalog party in December.  Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.......
Here's my sweet little gift tag.  It's just screaming to be attached to a pretty little baby gift.
I created a fun little tag and then used some Daffodil Delight Seam Binding to pretty up my tag.
I also used the Large Polka Dots Embossing Folder to give my Soft Sky cardstock some fun texture ........ And the Dotted Scallop ribbon Border Punch was used on some Daffodil Delight cardstock to add a punch of fun to the bottom and top of my Soft Sky piece.
I love how the little duck from this stamp set looks SO ADORABLE as the focal image of my tag.  And I used the Note Tag Punch to create my Whisper White and Daffodil Delight tags.
I'm SERIOUSLY ....... IN LOVE with the way the Daffodil Delight Seam Binding ties up into a pretty bow.......and it was the final touch that I added to my precious little baby tag.

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

Lotus Blossom Gift Box

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have a fun little gift box that a fellow Stampin' UP! demonstrator (Brenda Q) created and shared.  It uses the Lotus Blossom Sale-a-Bration set and some Wild Wasabi cardstock.  Let's jump right in with this gorgeous gift box.
Here's what my gift box looks like......
It starts with a 6-3/4" x 5-1/4" piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock.  It is scored on all four sides at 3/4".
The belly band is made from a piece of Wild Wasabi cardstock that measures 10" x 1-1/2".  And my DSP piece measures 10" x 1".
The belly band uses the Painted Blooms DSP and Wild Wasabi Seam Binding.
My lid was made from a piece of clear window sheet.  That measures 6-11/16" x 5-3/16".  The window sheet is then scored on all four sides at 3/4".
Here's a picture of what the gift box and lid looks like all scored and ready to be assembled.
Here's what I tucked inside my gift box......
Each card is a Stampin' UP! notecard......This one is Crushed Curry and Daffodil Delight.
Here's a Blackberry Bliss and Perfect Plum card.
This is Tempting Turquoise and Soft Sky......
And my final notecard is Calypso Coral and Crisp Cantaloupe.
This gift box is a fabulous hostess gift and comes together in no time flat.
Going to make up a few of these and have them on hand for those special last minute gifts I might need this coming year.

So Proud of You

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
I'm at a full run today........Preparing for some upcoming classes and events.....so I'm going to jump right in with a card I made using some new Occasions Catalog items.
This fun little card was inspired by my grandkids.  I wanted to make a card to let them know just how proud I am of them......and all the amazing things they do.
I used the new stamp set "Crazy About You" (page 31 of the Occasions catalog).  I stamped my "so proud of" sentiment in Bermuda Bay.......
and added the "you" portion of my message with the help of the "Hello You Thinlits Dies".  I die-cut out three Whisper White "you" and sandwiched each of them together with my Tombow Multi Liquid Glue.
I added some Pool Party, Bermuda Bay and Crushed Curry stars from the Confetti Star Border Punch.......And this card was DONE!  
I used the Birthday Bash DSP on the bottom portion of my card......and just love love love how this card turned out.  Plan to make lots of these to have on hand for all the amazing and wonderful things my grandkids do.

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

WOW Card for Downline

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have a fun little card to share with you .......... It's one that I created for one of my downlines.  Let's jump right in with today's share........
This happy little "WOW" card came together in a SNAP......And uses a TON of new product from the 2015 Occasions catalog.
I started out by using three patterns of the "Sweet Dreams Designer Washi Tape" collection.  I ran three piece of washi tape down the far left hand edge of my card.
I then stamped my "WOW" sentiment in Lost Lagoon at the bottom of my card.
I then stamped two Petal Potpourri flowers 91-Hello Honey and 1-Lost Lagoon) and punched each of them out with the coordinating Flower Medallion Punch.  
I coordinated the center of each flower with coordinating colors and made sure that I used some dimensional adhesive to pop-up my centers for each flower.
This card has a soft happy look to it and just know that it will make my downline smile when she receives it.

Thanks for joining me today.  I'll be back tomorrow to share more new product cards with you ....... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Hooray It's Your Day Project Kit Part Two

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
Today I'm back with part two of my Hooray It's Your Day Project Kit.  For today's share......I want to share with you how I took the Hooray It's Your Day Project Kit and stepped it up a tiny bit with some supplies I had in my studio.  Let's jump right in with today's share.........
Here's the four "Stepped Up Cards" I created.
First up I used the file folder card and created a tabbed file folder insert for the inside of my card.
I then created a "Hooray Hooray" banner flag for the front of my card.
For my second card......I simple added some Washi Tape to the top and bottom portion of my card.........
And then stamped my sentiment directly onto my balloon.
My third card uses the matchbook style card to create a fun little Sun Burst image for the front of my card........
And then I stamped "Hooray! Hooray!" right under my flapped section.
And my final card (and my favorite) was designed with three different color inks.  I dipped my sponge dauber directly into my ink and then swiped it directly onto my specialty paper.
This technique allowed me to create a SUPER FUN and COLORFUL pattern for the front of my card.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share more new product cards with you ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Hooray It's Your Day Project Kit Part One

Happy Wednesday My Blogger Friends!
Today I have a project kit to share with you.  It's one from the new Stampin' UP! Occasions catalog (page 16).  This project kit includes all the base cards and coordinating pieces you will need to create 20 cards (5 each of 4 different designs).....along with coordinating envelopes.  Let's jump right in with today's project kit share........
Here are the four base cards that this kits makes.

This first card is designed to hold a gift card on the inside.
I inked up my sponge with some Bermuda Bay ink and swiped it across this specialty paper that allowed me to change this DSP to a light Bermuda Bay color.
For my second card I used the masking template to create this fabulous fan image onto the front of my tri-fold card.
I used Strawberry Slush re-inker into my Stampin' Spritzer bottle and spritzed my card front until I had the desired look.
My third card I used two different re-inker colors for the front of my card.
By adding a couple speech bubbles......I was able to create a different looking card in a couple simple steps.
And my final card share for today uses another mask template.
This card I sponged directly onto the mask and when I was finished.......This SUPER AWESOME sunburst was created.
For each of these cards I added a few embellishments that came with my kit and was able to finish up four birthday cards in no time flat.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you my stepped up versions of this Hooray It's your Day Project Kit ........... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
