Spot Light Sunday - Fiesta Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several new products from that catalog ...... So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........
This FUN FIESTA CARD is a bright and happy card for that someone special.
I used the 'Birthday Fiesta' stamp set and the 'Fiesta Time Framelits' to create my card.
My sentiment was framed out with the new 'Layering Oval Framelits'.....
And the new 'Festive Birthday Designer Series Paper' was cut down to 3" x 4-1/4" and centered onto my Crushed Curry base card.
Such a fun card that just screams 'LET'S PARTY'!!!!!
 
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!

Paper Pumpkin Saturday - You're The Friend

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a fun card to share with you!  This card was created using the March Paper Pumpkin kit ......... Which hands down ....... Is one of my favorite 2016 Paper Pumpkin kits.  I'm THRILLED with the way this card turned out and I want to share that card with you now......
I splattered my Whisper White base card with some Bermuda Bay reinker that I loaded into a Stampin' Spritzer.
My sentiment was stamped with the 'Friendly Wishes' set......
And I used the 'Lots of Labels Framelits' to die-cut out my stamped sentiment.......
And used some Bermuda Bay cardstock to die-cut out an additional layer for my sentiment.
I added a layer of DSP across the front of my card and placed a few Bitty Flowers around the front of my card. 
I'm just crazy about the Real Red accent color that gave both my sentiment and flowers a bright and fresh pop of color.
 
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!

Mix-It-UP! Monday - Box for Note Cards

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
Today is Mix-It-UP! Monday and I have a sweet little holder for the notecards I shared with you yesterday.  I used product from the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to create this little holder and I would like to share that project with you now.......
Here's my Spot Light Sunday cards on the left.....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday holder on the right.....
This sweet little notecard holder was shared by the very talented Rachel Tessman ...... Who created it for the Stampin' UP! Incentive trip.  All it takes to create this little cutie is a 7-1/2" x 12" piece of Designer Series Paper.  It's scored on one side of the 7-1/2" side at 1-7/8 and then the other side is folded into the middle to meet the edges up at the center.  Then you score the 12" side at 5-5/8" on both sides. 
That's all it takes to create this notecard holder.
The stamp sets I used were 'Badges and Banners' and 'Pop of Paradise'.
And I used the 'Moroccan Designer Series Paper' to create my holder.
This is what the inside of the holder looks like once you pinch up the sides and create the holder portion of your holder.
For the topper of my holder I used a 3-3/4" x 4-3/4" piece of Dapper Denim cardstock.  I score that piece of cardstock on the long side at 2" on both ends.
My topper was secured with a small Velcro Fastener......
And all 4-of my notecards fit perfectly into that holder.
This is simply an ADORABLE notecard holder and I want to THANK Rachel for sharing this DARLING project with her internet friends.

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!
