Tag Thursday

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

For my trio of tags today ....... I used the 'Picture Perfect' stamp set. 

I selected Wisteria Wonder and Elegant Eggplant for this tag.

Look how GORGEOUS this tag turned out.

My second tag was created with Tempting Turquoise and Calypso Coral ink.

I'm just CRAZY about the way this tag turned out.

And here is my third and favorite tag creation.

This tag was made using Melon Mambo and Pink Pirouette ink.

I used these three tags for some special gifts I recently gave out to some friends.  Just LOVE LOVE LOVE how they topped off my gifts perfectly!

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

Wine Down Wednesday-Birthday Flip Card

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 fun little flip-up birthday card can be put together with a half sheet of 8-1/2"x 11" cardstock.  It packs a punch.....and doesn't require any additional cardstock than what you would use to create a standard A2 card.  You will do some simple cutting and all the cardstock pieces you cut off (with the exception of one tiny little piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock) will be used to create this card.

The card front flips up to reveal the perfect placement of a sweet birthday message.  To get the flip up section for this card you simply cut your Pear Pizzazz cardstock off from the center fold at 1-3/4".  You then trim the cut off Pear Pizzazz cardstock to measure 1-3/4"x4-1/4" and this is the panel you will use at the bottom potion of your card. 

What you have left over is a piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock that will be trimmed down to 3-1/2 x 2" and that will be what you use as your center panel.  This panel you will add a panel of Whisper White cardstock and stamp your fun balloon's onto that.  All that is left to do is attach the center panel to the top and bottom panels ...... and this will be what holds your card together.

I attached two balloons to my inside panel ...... And used my clear Wink of Stella to shine up the Mossy Meadow balloons.

And without a doubt.......The now retired 'Sassy Salutations' set was the PERFECT sentiment to add to the inside of my card.

I'm just nuts about the way this card turned out ........ And would like to thank Darla Roberts for sharing with our SU Stampers Group how to make this card.

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!

3D Tuesday - 4th of July Gift

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 is what I made for my SaddleBrooke neighbors and friends for their 4th of July mailbox gift.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.

This was one of those fun little treat holders that I had a BLAST making.

I decorated the outside of my holder with a silver embossed Framelits Star and used clear embossing powder to get my 'Celebrate' sentiment looking nice and shiny.

Here's a close-up of the star and sentiment stacked together.

And the fun part is pulling the ribbon up to reveal a tiny pack of Tic Tac Candies inside the holder.

I made it so the Tic Tac candies can be removed completely ....... Eaten ..... And then reloaded to carry on with the fun of this tiny packaging design.

The slider box is a 2-1/4"x4" piece of Real Red cardstock.  All I needed to do was score the cardstock at 1-3/8", 1-7/8", 3-1/4" and 3-3/4".  SUPER QUICK ......... SUPER FUN ........ And SUPER FESTIVE for my SaddleBrooke friends to enjoy on the 4th of July.

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!

PP Saturday - Candy Pouch

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a fun project share for you today.  This candy pouch was made with my March Paper Pumpkin kit.  I learned how to make this project from a fellow demonstrator Dawn.........Who shared them on her Pinterest page.  I'm thrilled with the way these turned out and want to share them with you now.

Talk about a fun way to package up a Hershey Nugget.

Each of these candy pouches were created with the gift card holders that comes with the March Paper Pumpkin kit ....... And that's all it takes to create the pouch for your candy to slide into.

What secures these pouches closed is a piece of Bermuda Bay ribbon that is wrapped around the holder and tied off into a pretty bow in the front.

Each of the top corners of my pouch were punched with a trio corner punch (now retired).....

And the 'For You' sentiment was stamped with the set that came with the March kit.

All that was left to do was wrap each of the nuggets with the DSP in this kit and each pouch holds a single Hershey Nugget PERFECTY!  This is simply the prettiest way to make someone's day!!!

 

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!
