Thank You Upgraded 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 a couple additional products found in the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT...

And my Mix-It-UP! card for today on the RIGHT!!!!

 

I really didn't think it was going to be possible to upgrade my card from yesterday ...... But I'm just crazy about the way this upgraded card turned out.

I started out by adding a 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White panel to the front of my card.  I popped that panel into my 'Simply Score Board' and scored it on the diagonal every 1/4".  What a CREATIVE way to upgrade a simple Whisper White panel.

n

Next, I stamped my five flowers from the 'Blended Seasons' set onto some Whisper White card stock and used the same Stampin' Blends that I used yesterday to color them in.  After all five were colored in ........ I used my Paper Snips to cut each one out.

The real fun to this upgrade card came in arranging the five colored flowers on the front of my card.  I finished the center of all five flowers with a cluster of 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls'.

My sentiment was another great upgrade ...... I used the same sentiment stamp and threaded some of the 'Poppy Parade 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon' around the ends of the sentiment.  That sentiment was popped up onto my card with the help of some Stampin' Dimensionals.

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

Two AMAZING looking cards......

That were SERIOUSLY FUN to create!!!!

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! 

Thank You Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   This card uses several products from that catalog ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

I must confess ........ Every now and then ....... I make a card that truly THRILLS & AMAZES me.  Today I have that card for you.  I am simply IN LOVE with this card creation!!!!

I started out by stamping the flowers from the 'Blended Seasons' set in the lower right hand corner of my Whisper White base card.

Next, I pulled out my Stampin' Blends (Poppy Parade, Pumpkin Pie, Highland Heather and Old Olive) and colored in all these BEAUTIFUL looking flowers.

 I stamped the sentiment from this set right on my base card.....

And used some 'Poppy Parade 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon' around the top of my card.

The final touch was adding five of the 'Share What You Love Artisan Pearls' around the front of my card ....... And this card was done in no time flat.

Like I said earlier ....... I simply ADORE this card.  And each and every time I look at it.......It makes me HAPPY!!!
 
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!

Congrats Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And I would like to share with you an alternate card project I created using the June Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

 

 How FESTIVE & FUN is this alternate Paper Pumpkin card!

I started out by using the DSP that was included in this kit and added that black striped panel at the bottom of my Whisper White base card.

Next, I added a panel of Lovely Lipstick card stock right above that DSP panel and then stamped the 'Congrats' sentiment that was included in this kit on one of the die-cut pieces included in the kit.

I used some of the Black Baker's Twine that came with this kit behind the stamped sentiment ....... And then I applied the White Pearl (also included in the kit) around the sentiment AND across the Black card stock piece I added above the DSP panel.

This card is the PERFECT CONGRATS CARD that I'll be sending out to one of my downline team members who has been doing some pretty AMAZING things!

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!

Love You To Pieces Tag

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 PRETTY TAG.  Now that you have the details for my Tag Thursday creation for this week ........ Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

I'm head over heads crazy for the 'Love You To Pieces' Bundle.

I started this tag off with a 3/4" Lemon Lime Twist DSP panel on the bottom of my Whisper White tag.

Next, I stamped my "We Just Fit" sentiment right above the DSP panel.

My puzzle pieces were stamped with Lemon Lime Twist ink onto a piece of Whisper White card stock.  All I needed to do was grab my 'Puzzle Pieces' dies to crop out my two puzzle pieces ..... And adhere them down to the front of my Whisper White tag.

I topped my tag off with some 'Lemon Lime Twist 1/2" Textured Weave Ribbon' and then secured it down with a 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' bow.

I'm just crazy about the way this tag turned out ...... And can't wait to try making another one with my favorite Stampin' UP! ink......Melon Mambo!

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!

Celebrate the Season Card

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........

Check out this fun gate fold style holiday card!

The gate fold section of this card is 8" x 5-1/4".  I scored both sides of my card at 2" and that created the gate fold for this card.  After I had my Old Olive card scored......I adhered it to a 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" Whisper White panel.

I used the 'Stylish Christmas' set to create the Old Olive poinsettia for the front of my card.

I used the 'Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper' for my two center panels on this card.....

And my sentiment is from the 'Mistletoe Season' set ...... And I used VersaMark ink and White Embossing Powder to really make my sentiment stand out on this card.

 Just crazy about the way this card turned out.......

Can't wait to make a Real Red version!!!!

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!
