Paper Pumpkin Saturday

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is another Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a fun Paper Pumpkin project to share with you.  It my April Paper Pumpkin kit and I just love how this kit turned out.  Let me share that project with you now...........

This is the 'Lovely Little Wreath' Paper Pumpkin kit.  It just SCREAMS HAPPY SPRING!

The festive little chalkboard frame looks so charming hanging from the center of this wreath.

And the pretty yellow paper flowers added a great accent piece to the top of my wreath.  All that was left to do was top my wreath off with a pretty cotton ribbon bow and this project was complete.

I couldn't be happier with the way this wreath turned out........And I even created a half dozen cards using the left over pieces from this kit.  Hope to share those with you in the upcoming weeks.

 

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

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 FUN BIRTHDAY TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

Here's a quick and easy birthday tag that you can create in no time flat.

The perfect little tag to add to that perfect little gift.

Wine Down Wednesday

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 FABULOUS is this card!

I used the 'Botanical Builder Framelits Dies' on a piece of Whisper White cardstock to create the climbing vine look for the front of my card.

On that Whisper White cardstock piece I stamped my sentiment with the 'Enjoy the Little Things' stamp set.  I used Cajun Craze ink to stamp my sentiment.

My flowers were die-cut and stamped with the help of the 'Botanical Builder Framelits Dies' and the Botanical Blooms stamp set.

And for a little extra WOW FACTOR I added a single 'Botanical Gardens Jewels' to the center of my die-cut flower.

I'm just crazy about the way this card turned out ...... And the extra bonus is this card comes together so quickly that I can bang out a whole bunch of them in no time flat!

 

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

3-D Tuesday-Pull Out Drawer Gift Box

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  This project was shared with me by Annie.  She is a member of our SW Stampers Demonstrator group.  Annie made this project as the door prize for one of our meetings ...... And came back the next month and shared with us how to make this fabulous pull out drawer gift box.  Today I will share with you the box that I created.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

These little A2 size gift boxes are the perfect gift to make for that someone special on your gift giving list.

The box is in two parts ........And holds four A2 size cards.

Annie showed us how to attach a small piece of ribbon to the portion of this gift box that holds your cards ....... And that serves as the pull handle for your box.

Here are the four cards I created for this gift box.

I used the Botanical Gardens DSP on each card......

Along with the Sale-a-Bration Vellum Stack.....

And a flower die-cut from the 'Botanical Builder Framelits Dies'.

And because I know you'all too well ........ Here is the template for Annie's box creation.

So there you have it friends.  Hope you give this fabulous gift box creation a try!  THANK YOU Annie for sharing this gorgeous project with me.

 

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!

Mix-It-UP! Monday-Balloon 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 added a couple additional products (found in the 2015-2016 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot-Light Sunday card on the left.....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the right....

Today's upgraded version of yesterday's card brings a HAPPY SMILE to my face every single time I look at it.

I started out by creating the same balloons as I did yesterday but I added some extra dimension around the outer edge of each balloon to give them a special little curve.

Each of my balloons had the same Melon Mambo/Basic Black Baker's Twine added to them ...... And then all bunched together and tied up in a pretty bow at the bottom of my card.

I used White embossing powder to create my 'Happy Birthday' sentiment banner.....

And added that banner right below my balloons.

And one last addition to this card was using the 'Lucky Star' embossing folder on my Melon Mambo panel before adhering it to my Whisper White base card.

So there you have it friends ....... A fun upgrade to an already perfect happy birthday card from yesterday.  Which one do you like?

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a 3-D Tuesday project with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Spot Light Sunday - Birthday Balloons

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2016 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog.  This card uses several products from that catalog ...... So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........

This birthday card is a snap to create and is the perfect way to use up some of the many extra pieces of DSP we just keep in our stash.

I began this card by using the 'Balloon Bouquet Punch' and punching out three balloons from the 'It's My Party Designer Series Paper Stack'.

I then attached some Melon Mambo/Basic Black Baker's Twine to each balloon.....

And tied them all up in a pretty bow at the bottom of my card.

My sentiment was stamped with the 'Balloon Celebration' stamp set with Basic Black Archival ink.  I just love how bold and crisp our Stampin' UP! black archival ink stamps onto Whisper White cardstock.

I also added some of the Melon Mambo striped DSP to my Whisper White panel before adding my balloons onto this panel with dimensional adhesive.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share with you a Mix-It-UP! Monday version of this very same card ......... Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!
