Freaky Friday Fringe Card

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 in the Stampin' UP! Holiday catalog and since it's October......what better time to spot-light some Halloween cards.  Let me share that card with you now...........

This TOTALLY OUT OF THE BOX Halloween card was created with a tool that is in my Studio cabinets and I often times forget to pull that tool out.

That tool is my pair of 'Fringed Scissors'!  I used a panel of Basic Black cardstock and created a darling center fringe strip across the top portion of my card.  For an added punch of Halloween Fun......I added some Halloween Night Baker's Twine around the center portion of that Basic Black fringe strip.

Next I grabbed my 'Halloween Night Specialty Designer Series Paper' and created a fun banner flag.  I then topped that banner off with a stamped sentiment from the 'Suite Seasons' set that was punched out using the new 'Best Badge' punch.

And one final touch was using my Black Sharpie Marker to color in three different sizes of the 'White Perfect Accents' and attaching those to the bottom right hand corner of my card. 

A SUPER FUN CARD to create .......

And one that is going to be even more fun to send out!

 

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

October Stamp-of-the-Month Club

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a tag I created for my Stamp-of-the-Month Club customers .......... and I'll 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 creation ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

My October Stamp of the Month Club bundle was the 'Foxy Friends' stamp set and coordinating punch.

To create this darling tag I started by stamping my Cajun Craze fox onto a Whisper White circle.  I then matted it onto a Basic Black scallop circle.

I also stamped my 'thank you' sentiment onto a panel of Whisper White and then punched it out with the new 'Duet Banner' punch.

I topped my tag off with some Cajun Craze DSP and Basic Black Baker's Twine ........ And this tag was done in no time flat!

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

3-D Tuesday - Birthday Totes

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 SUPER FUN to create and the greatest feature is you don't need any special tools to create it.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.

I created these totes for an Early Bird Gift at a recent Stamp Camp.

I gave two of these away to a lucky winner for arriving at my Stamp Camp early/on-time.

The base of my tote is a Whisper White piece that measures 7-3/4"x 3-3/4" and is scored on all four sides at 3/4" and then constructed.  

The DSP panels are 6"x9" and I cut two panels.  Each panel is wrapped on the inside of the Whisper White base box and secured on the sides.  After the DSP has been adhered together......I used a 3/4" x 11" piece of Whisper White around the top of my tote to give it a finished look.

My handles were made with a piece of Whisper White cardstock that measures 1" x 11" and scored down the center of the 1" side at 1/2".  I didn't score all the way to the end of this piece of cardstock.  I stopped about 1/2" short on each end.  (Remember to make two of these handles)  I secured my handles to the top of my tote with Antique Brads and Stampin' Dimensionals.

For the four cards I added to the inside of my tote, I used the 'Endless Birthday Wishes' stamp set and some yummy DSP from the Bright Collection.

Here are the four finished cards that I added to the inside of my tote.

And here are all four totes that I created.  I managed to keep the pink and the yellow version of these totes.  I will be giving them to two special friends for their birthday.

 

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!

Upgraded Candy Corn Card

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 one additional stamp set (found in the 2016 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday (on left)....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today (on right).....

For my Mix-It-UP! Monday card, I changed the orientation and grunged-up this version of that candy corn card.

I used the same stamp set for my sentiment.....

And added the spider web from the 'Spooky Fun' set.  To add a bit of fun to the hanging spider ...... I covered my spider with some of the glue from the 'Fine Tip Glue'.....which acts like the Crystal Effects that we use to sell.

My candy corns were created the same as I did in yesterday's card ........ The only thing I did differently was distress the edges.

And one final touch for this card was adding a panel of Basic Black behind the Old Olive panel ...... and I distressed my Old Olive panel by bending the cardstock and then inking up the fold on each of those bends.  That distressed my Old Olive panel just the way I wanted.

So my Friends.....

Which one is your 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!

Halloween Candy Corn

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2016 Stampin' UP! Holiday and 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  This card uses minimal product.....But packs a huge punch for those quick Halloween cards you might be wanting to make.   Let me share that card with you now.........

I created this card for my Downline Team to make at last weeks team meeting.  We used the Stampin' UP! notecards to create this little card.  And with the coordinating envelopes that come with the notecards.....you can create LOTS of these sweet card before your supplies run out.

We used the 'Mr. Funny Bones' stamp set to stamp our sentiment.....

And then created two candy corn treats for the front of our card.  We used the Bright Designer Series Stack pad and decorated our candy corn with the Daffodil Delight and Pumpkin Pie sheets in that collection.

Here's a close-up of one of the candy corn.

A final touch was adding some Basic Black Baker's twine around the bottom of our Old Olive panel ..... and this card was finished in no time flat.

So there you have it friends ..... A quick and easy Halloween card that is SO MUCH FUN to make.

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 - My Love

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a pretty card to share with you!  This special card was made with the May Paper Pumpkin kit.   I'm thrilled with the way it turned out and want to share that card with you now.

I used the front of one lattice card included in the May Paper Pumpkin kit to create this card.  All I did was cut the lattice portion of the card down and adhered a panel of Rich Razzleberry cardstock behind it. Then a panel of Sweet Sugarplum cardstock was adhered behind my lattice work panel and that entire panel was adhered to the front of a Rich Razzleberry base card.

I stamped my sentiment onto the center portion of that lattice panel and tied some Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon around the center of my lattice panel.

All that was left to do was grab some punches from my cabinet and start creating some PRETTY PRETTY flowers.  Once I had the perfect cluster of three flowers, I adhered them down onto the white lattice panel.

A simply beautiful card that I made for my Jack.

 

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!
