3D Tuesday - February Early Bird Gift

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
15 days and counting!!!!

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 product is featured in the 2017 Stampin' UP! Occasios Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

How fun would it be to receive one of these little egg cartons.......

Just for arriving to my Stamp Camp on time!!!!!

Well that's exactly what I did for my February Early Bird Gift.

These egg cartons are featured on Page 18 of the Stampin' UP! 2017 Occasions Catalog.  The 'Mini Egg Cartons' come in a natural color and I just used my 'Stampin' Spritzer' and some Sweet Sugarplum reinker and changed the color of my egg carton to a pretty Sweet Sugarplum.

I created a darling belly band and topped that belly band off with a pretty basket made from the 'Basket Builder Framelits Dies' (also on Page 18).



And the magic was when the egg carton was opened.......It revealed four colorful eggs.

And inside each colorful egg I added some fun embellishments from both the Annual and Occasions Catalog.

One final touch to putting this gift OVER THE TOP ....... was adding some Sweet Sugarplum 'Succulent Garden Ribbon' along with a string of Blushing Bride 'Sequin Trim' to the "For You" sentiment banner.

Just CRAZY about the way this project turned out......

And each of the winners from my morning and afternoon February Stamp Camp were THRILLED to have received this gift.

 

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 Avant Garden Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
16 days and counting!!!!

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 I added a couple additional products (found in the 2016-2017 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......

For my Mix-It-UP! Monday card I used the same Sale-a-Bration 'Avant Garden' stamp set to stamp my flowers. 

I used the same color combination as I did for yesterday's card.  My color combination was Calypso Coral, Soft Sky and Early Espresso for each of my flowers......

My sentiment banner was changed up to Dapper Denim and White Embossing Powder to give my sentiment a real POP!

And I added some Whisper White 'Baker's Twine' around one end of my sentiment banner.

My final touch for my upgraded version was adding some 'Clear Wink of Stella' over the top of each stamped flower.  That gave my card the final WOW FATOR I was looking for.

So there you have it friends.....

Two pretty cards that just scream SPRING to me!

 

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 - Avant Garden

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
17 days and counting!!!!

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

The 'Avant Garden' Sale-a-Bration set is the main stamp set that I used to create this card.

I used Calypso Coral, Soft Sky and Early Espresso ink to create my 'Avant Garden' flowers.

And for my sentiment banner I used the 'Window Shopping' set from the Occasion Catalog.

One final touch for my card was adding a pretty bow at the end of my sentiment banner ....... and for that I grabbed some Calypso Coral 'Thick Baker's Twine'.

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

 A pretty card that is the perfect way to tell that someone special you are thinking of them.

 

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 - Thanks Heart

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
18 days and counting!!!!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY PRETTY CARD to share with you!  This is card was created using 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.

This January Paper Pumpkin kit just SCREAMS Blushing Bride.

I started out this card by using a panel of Blushing Bride cardstock and running it through my Big Shot with the new 'Falling Petals Textured Impressions Embossing Folder'.

Next I matted one of the vellum banner flags that came with this kit onto one of the Whisper White with Gold trim banner flags.  I added a tiny bit of Gold Metallic Thread to the top of this banner flag and then mounted it onto my Blushing embossed panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The stamped sentiment came with this kit and I simply die-cut out two layering hearts and stacked the sentiment together for this card.

The PERFECT WAY to say thanks to someone special on your list.

 

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!

Tag Thursday - Avant Garden

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
20 days and counting!!!!

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 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 simply FELL IN LOVE LOVE LOVE ........with the Sale-a-Bration 'Avant Garden' set from the very moment I saw it back in November at the Stampin' UP! On-Stage event.

I began this tag by stamping my sentiment with Watermelon Wonder ink and then layered it with the 'Layering Circles Framelits'.

My background pattern for this tag was created by using the flower stamps from the 'Avant Garden' set and adding a layer of the clear Wink of Stella to the top of each stamped flower.

I tied up a pretty bow with the 'Old Olive Baker's Twine' and added that to the bottom of my stamped circle ....... and then tucked a tiny piece of the 3/8" Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon behind my Old Olive scallop circle piece.

And one final touch for this tag was adding some of that same Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon to the top of my tag and I then tied it up with a pretty bow using the Old Olive Baker's Twine.

So there you have it friends ........ Just couldn't be happier with the way this tag turned out.

 

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!
