Mix-It-UP! Monday Friend 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 both the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday from yesterday on the TOP......

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday card for today on the BOTTOM....

I kept my upgraded card in the same orientation as yesterday ...... but just created my DSP panel a dab bit larger.

I also added a panel of Chocolate Chip cardstock to my Whisper White panel and that just made both the DSP and stamped image POP off this card.

I stamped my sentiment higher to the top of my Whisper White panel and added three little colored pearls to my card.

I used my Dark Brown Copic Marker to color in the three Pearls.......but if you have a brown Sharpie Marker on hand......that will work too.

My beautiful lady was stamped the same as yesterday's card ...... but for today's upgrade, I positioned her onto a circle of Whisper White (die-cut from the 'Layering Circles Framelits') and then I matted that Whisper White circle onto a scallop Chocolate Chip circle. 

Two FANTASTIC cards that were both pretty easy to create.

Do you have a favorite?

 

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

Spot Light Sunday Friend

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2017 Stampin' UP! Occasions and 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  This card uses several new products from each of those catalogs ........ So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........

My card today just couldn't be any easier to create......

I started this card out by adding a panel of the 'Designer Series Paper Stack' in Chocolate Chip to the bottom portion of my Whisper White card base.  After that DSP panel was adhered down onto my card ....... I stamped my sentiment from the new 'Suite Sentiments' set directly above the panel of DSP.

Next I stamp my beautiful lady from the 'Beautiful You' set twice.  First onto my Whisper White card base and also onto a piece of the Chocolate Chip Designer Series Paper.  I just grabbed my Paper Snips and fussy cut out the dress and hat and used a little dab of the 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to adhere that fussy cut dress down onto my Whisper White card base.

The detailed lines from the 'Beautiful You' image make it a snap to fussy cut out the dress in no time flat.

And all that was left to do for this card was add some stitched lines above my DSP panel ...... and also add some trio dots around the Whisper White card base.

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 - LOVE

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This is one of my favorite cards made with the January Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock and a stamped image to create this card ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.

The January Paper Pumpkin Kit is turning out to be one of my favorite kits from Stampin' UP!

I stamped (and embossed) my love heart with Blushing Bride ink.

I added three vellum banner (included in the kit) to the top of my card.....

And then added a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock and ribbon across the top of the three banners to anchor everything down.

One final touch was adding a strand of Blushing Bride Sequin Trim to the top of my card.

Needless to say........I LOVE THIS CARD!

 

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!

My friend Mary made this card.  Don't you just LOVE how she created this 3-D pumpkin with three Pumpkin Pie circles!

Tag Thursday - It's Your Day

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

Before I jump into my blog post for today ........ I have three ADORABLE pics of my Twoie Boy.  Check out all the fun he is having in the big tub.....

My daughter sent these pics to me with the heading......

Too Many Bubbles?????

Hands down ........ This one is my FAVORITE!

 

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.

This FUN TAG was created using two new products from the Stampin' UP! 2017 Occasions Catalog.

I used the 'Big on Birthdays' stamp set to create this BRIGHT AND HAPPY sentiment at the bottom of my tag.  I used Watermelon Wonder ink to stamp my sentiment.

My ice cream image comes from the 'Tasty Treats' Designer Series Paper pack and all I did was trim out one of the ice cream dishes and matted it to a square of Pool Party and Watermelon Wonder cardstock.  Just couldn't be any easier!!!!

And I topped my tag off with some Pool Party 3/8" Stitched Satin Ribbon and a good length of Bermuda Bay Sequin Tim,  Everything got tied up with a lovely Whisper White Baker's Twine bow.

So there you have it friends.......

A darling little tag that is perfect for just about any occasion.

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