Freaky Friday Dracula

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is another Freaky Friday card share.  I have been having so much fun playing with the Halloween sets that are featured in the Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog and since it's October......what better time to spot-light some Halloween cards.  Let me share another Halloween card with you now...........

This darling Dracula card just couldn't be any easier to create!

I began by stamping my "Happy Halloween" sentiment from the 'Jar of Haunts' set and punching it out with a 1-3/8" circle punch.  I added a layer of Real Red and Basic Black and by adding the ribbon ....... This tag just jumps off the card.

I added a Basic Black cardstock panel to the bottom of my Whisper White base card and then topped it off with a panel of the brick DSP that is included in the 'Halloween Night Specialty' Designer Series Paper.  A final touch before adhering this DSP panel down to the front of my card was adding some Black Baker's Twine around my brick panel and then I tied it up into a pretty bow.

My OH SO DARLING Dracula was stamped from the 'Cookie Cutter Halloween set and then colored in with Real Red, Smoky Slate and Basic Gray Stampin' Write Makers.

A simply darling little Dracula card that will surely make one of my grandkids VERY HAPPY this Halloween season.

Tag Thursday - Thank You

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

I created these tags for each of my customers who placed an order with me in September.

I began this tag by die-cutting out a black fence from the 'Halloween Scenes' Edgelits Dies.  Before I adhered my fence onto my Basic Gray tag.....I stamped the spooky tree from the 'Halloween Scares' set and then positioned the black fence onto my tag.

Next I stamped my 'Thank You' sentiment onto my tag and added a spooky moon to the corner of my tag.  One final step to completing my tag was to add some bats to the top of my card and those were from the 'Spooky Fun' stamp set.

And that's all it took to create these fun September customer order thank you tags.

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

Swirly Thank You

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........

I made two versions of this Swirly Bird thank you card.....

The first version has the 'Swirly Scribbles' thinlit dies arranged to the bottom left hand corner of my card.

And my second version has the 'Swirly Scribbles' thinlit dies arranged at the upper right hand corner of my card.

The 'Swirly Scribbles' thinlit dies were adhered to a Pool Party die-cut circle from this same set.......

And all I had to do was come in with the 'Swirly Bird' stamp set to create some So Saffron splatters and flowers.....

And then stamp my "thank you" sentiment with the help of the 'Thoughtful Banners' set and punched it out with the help of the Duet Banner Punch.

Super fun card to create ......

And one that doesn't take any time to create.

 

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 by and let me share that project with you.  Keep Living Your Dream!

3-D Tuesday - Purse

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 looks difficult to put together ...... but comes together SUPER QUICK and SUPER EASY to create.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.

How's this for a KNOCK IT OUT OF THE PARK kind of purse!

And to put this purse OVER THE TOP ........ I added four pretty note cards to the inside.

For the front of my purse I stamped the "enjoy the little things" sentiment from the 'Layering Love' set.

And here is what the four note cards look like.

I made two black and pink version .... and two pink and black version cards for the inside of my purse.  I think these cards are just adorable.

So my purse is a 12x12 piece of Designer Series Paper.  Score at 3" and 9".  Then on the other side score at 4-1/2" and 7-1/2".   You will create a pleated flap at each end and secure those pleads to the inside front and back of your purse.

 

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

Mix-It-UP! Monday Dracula 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 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...

I changed my card up ever so slightly....

I adhered my 'Cookie Cutter Halloween' Dracula onto a panel of Basic Black cardstock.

I added three Real Red Enamel Dots into the upper right hand corner of my Basic Black panel and adhered a small strip of Whisper White cardstock to the bottom of this panel ...... And that is were I stamped my 'happy halloween' sentiment (from the Teeny Tiny Wishes set).

I grabbed my 'Gorgeous Grunge' stamp set and created some blood splatters onto my Whisper White base card.  LOVE how this turned out!

And I repeated my three banner flags from yesterday's card ...... Using the 'Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper'.

So there you have it friends!

The same card just done up two different ways.

Do you have a favorite?

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!

How's this for a "happy Halloween" card!

I used the Dracula stamp from the new 'Cookie Cutter Halloween' set.  I colored his vest in Real Red and his shirt Smoky Slate and cuffs Basic Gray.

I added three banner flags that were created from the simply fabulous 'Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper' ........

And then I added a small strip of Basic Black cardstock and wrapped some 'Halloween Night Baker's Twine' around that black piece and tied it up into a pretty bow.

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I have a pretty card to share with you that I made with my May Paper Pumpkin kit.  This card just makes me SMILE BIG when I look at it .......let me share that card with you now.....

I used the base card that came with the May kit ...... and just upgraded it with some pretty Flirty Flamingo colors.

Next I die-cut some Watermelon Wonder and Pumpkin Pie flowers from the 'Botanical Builder Framelits' set ....... And arranged them onto the front of my card.
