Spot Light Sunday Hooray Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   This card uses several new products from that catalog ........ So let's jump right in with my card share for today.......

From the moment I saw the 'Birthday Memories Suite' in the new 2017-2018 Annual Catalog ....... I was HOOKED!!!!!

This little fox was die-cut using the 'Birthday Memories Designers Series Paper' and the coordinating 'Birthday Friends Framelits Dies'.  Like magic this Foxy Fox just jumps off the card.

I cut a small panel of the 'Birthday Memories Designers Series Paper' and added it to the bottom of my Crumb Cake card.  And added some of the YUMMY 1/4" Stitched-Edge Pacific Point Ribbon around the center of my DSP panel.

My sentiment was stamped with Early Espresso ink using the 'Birthday Delivery' stamp set.....

And a few 'Glitter Enamel Dots' were added to my card for that little extra WOW FACTOR!

 So that's all it took to create this darling card .......

Hands down.....The Birthday Memories Suite is a favorite of mine!

 

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 Washi Card

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 card was made with all the scrap pieces I had left over from my February Paper Pumpkin kit.  All I added was some extra cardstock panels and pretty ribbon to complete my card.  I'm simply delighted with the way this card turned out and want to share it with you now......

How's this for a Paper Pumpkin Washi Card?

I cut my left over cardstock from this February Paper Pumpkin kit up into small Washi Tape pieces and adhered them directly onto my Whisper White panel.

My sentiment was stamped with the set that is included in this kit.......

And I added some Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon and Pool Party Stitched Satin Ribbon behind my stamped sentiment panel.

I used the Elegant Dots Embossing Folder on my Whisper White panel.....

And this card was done in no time flat.

 

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!

These were the thank you tags I created for each of my customers who attended my Saddle-UP! UP! and Away event and placed an order.

My Saddle-UP! event theme this spring was hot air balloons ....... And the 'Up & Away Thinlits Dies' worked out perfectly for my thank you tags.

Each tag had the thanks sentiment embossed with White Embossing Powder at the bottom of the tag.

The hot air balloons were featured in several spring colors.....

And I topped each tag off with some coordinating ribbon and tied it all up with a pretty White Baker's Twine bow.

Dragonfly Stamp From Die

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........

You might be looking at this card and wondering what stamp set I used to stamp my trailing dragonfly images.  Well guess what my friends........The 'Dragonfly Dreams' stamp set that is featured in the Stampin' UP! 2017 Occasions catalog DOES NOT HAVE A STAMP for the trailing dragonfly image.

So how I created the stamp for the trailing dragonfly die was with FUN FOAM.  All I did was use the 'Detailed Dragonfly Thinlits Dies' and die-cut the trailing dragonfly image onto the Fun Foam.  Then I used a two way glue pen on the back of the die-cut Fun Foam image to make it repositionable.  Then all that was left to do was adhere that Fun Foam dragonfly image onto my Stampin' UP! Clear Block and I was ready to use it as a regular stamp.

I used VersaMark to ink up my Fun Foam stamp and stamped my trail of dragonflies directly onto my Crumb Cake card.  I sprinkled White Embossing Powder over the VersaMark image and heat set the powder.  Results ........ INSTANT WOW FACTOR and the BONUS a new stamp to add to my 'Dragonfly Dreams' set.

I used the thanks from the 'Jar of Love' set and stamp that onto a 1-3/4" Watermelon Wonder circle.  Once that sentiment was dry......I adhered it directly to a 'Delicate White Doilies' and positioned it onto my Crumb Cake card.  Then I just grabbed my Paper Snips and cut off any portion of the doilies that was hanging over the edge.

One final touch was adding some 5/8" Watermelon Wonder Mini Striped Ribbon around the fold of my Crumb Cake card.......and tied it up into a pretty knot.

And that's all it took to create this card.

This technique will work with any die-cut you might have in your studio.

And just think of the endless possibilities you have.......

To add MORE STAMPS to your stamping collection!!!!

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

3D Tuesday Gift Certificate Packaging

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 I used Designer Series Paper that is featured in the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

Last December......I received a phone call from the husband of one of my customers and he was asking me if he could purchase a gift certificate for his wife. 

I knew that this gift certificate was going to have to be extra special........So I had an evening to play around and create this darling little gift packaging for her gift certificate.

 

All it took to create this envelope was positioning my printed gift certificate on my DSP and then wrapping the DSP to create an envelope.  When my customer opened up her envelope ....... It revealed a FABULOUS - OVER THE TOP gift certificate.

To create the darling belly band I just wrapped a coordinating piece of cardstock and DSP around my envelope and secured it in the center.

I topped the belly band off with a pretty 3-D Bow.....

And added a pretty gift tag and some holiday bling to give this gift the real HOLIDAY WOW FACTOR that  it deserved. 

Just couldn't be happier with the way this gift turned out .......

And needless to say......My customers husband "DID GREAT".

 

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 Upgraded Daisy

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 upcoming 2017-2018 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is my Spot Light Sunday Card on the TOP.....

And today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the BOTTOM....

For today's card I really went for a FRESH PRETTY look.  So I started this card out by positioning a panel of Daffodil Delight and Pool Party cardstock to the center of my Whisper White base card.

My daisy flower was stamped twice with the 'Daisy Delight' stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock.  I then used the coordinating 'Daisy Punch' to crop out my two daisy images.  All I did was off-set the two punched daisy images on top of each other and then topped it off with one of the new 'Clear Faceted Gems'.

For my sentiment I used the thank you from the 'Daisy Delight' set and stamped that onto a Whisper White banner flag.  I cropped out a piece of the 'Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper' and matted it onto a Daffodil Delight cardstock panel.  I added Stampin' Dimensionals to the backside of this completed panel and adhered it to the center of my Daffodil Delight and Pool Party panel.  

For my final touch ......... I added three 'Clear Faceted Gems' to the bottom right hand corner of my Whisper White base card and called this card done.

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

Two happy and pretty cards just waiting to be sent out.

Tell me ...... 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!
