Joy Upgrade 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 both the Snowflake Showcase Release and the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

How pretty is this upgraded card!!!!

I began this upgrade by taking a panel of Whisper White cardstock and doing some watercolor brush strokes to the center of this panel.  I used Pool Party ink and my 'Aqua Painter' to brush on some quick watercolor brush strokes to that Whisper White panel.   The final touch I gave this panel was using my 'Aqua Painter' and some Pool Party ink ........ and just creating some splatter spots all over this Whisper White panel.

Next, I stamped the tree from the 'Snow Is Glistening' set with Garden Green ink onto some Lemon Lime Twist cardstock.  All that was left to do was use the 'Snowfall Thinlits' to die-cut out the tree image ......... And I popped it onto my Whisper White watercolor panel.

My sentiment is also from this same stamp set ....... And I used VersaMark ink and 'White Embossing Powder' on a Real Red Circle.  LOVE how this sentiment POPS with the White Embossing Powder!!!!!!

I finished this upgraded card off with some snowflakes that were die-cut from the 'Snowfall Thinlits Dies' ...... And I used the new 'White Velvet Sheets' to create each of those snowflakes.

Both of these cards have made their way in my line-up of holiday cards

that I'll be sending out on December 1st.

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!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the Snowflake Showcase release.   This card uses several products from that promotional release ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

This card uses the new 'Snow Is Glistening' set.

I stamped the tree from this set with Lemon Lime Twist ink.

The "Joy" sentiment was stamped from this same set ........ And I used Real Red ink to stamp that sentiment.

I added some Rhinestone Gems onto the tree ....... And then grabbed the 'Snowfall Thinlits Dies' and cropped out three 'Silver Glimmer' snowflakes.

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

A totally Jolly & Festive kind of holiday card!!!!

Thinking of You Card

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

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

I created this alternate card using ONLY the product that was included in the October Paper Pumpkin kit.

I started out by creating my sentiment piece......

I LOVE how this piece turned out.

I wrapped some of the Baker's Twine that was included in the kit and then sprinkled the Gold Sequins around the front of the card.

The scallop edge on the base card just finished this card off!!!!

Let's jump right in with my tag share for today........

I just have to tell you......

I am IN LOVE with the 'Snowfall Thinlits Dies'.

How BEAUTIFUL is this swirly snowflake die-cut piece!

And using the 'Joyous Noel Merry Merlot Glimmer Paper'......In the center of each snowflake just finished these snowflakes off PERFECTLY!!!!

The sentiment was stamped from the 'Snow Is Glistening' set.  I used Versamark ink along with Merry Merlot ink.......And then sprinkled it with 'Clear Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.

I started this card out with a stamped sentiment from the new 'Snow Is Glistening' set.  I used VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Silver Embossing Powder' before heat setting it.  All that was left to do was adhere my oval sentiment onto a Silver Foil scallop oval and position that completed piece to the front of my card.

Saddle-UP Downline Gifts

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.  These projects were SUPER FUN to create and I made them for each of my downline team members who attended my recent Saddle-UP! Into the Holidays event.  Let me share the darling little gifts that I made each of them..........

I went around the room at the beginning of my Saddle-UP! event and presented each of my downline team members with this darling little gift.

Inside each package were three festive holiday gifts.

Since our theme for my Saddle-UP! Into The Holidays event was 'Channel the Flannel'......I made each downline team member a Key Chain Cap Stick Holder.

And to complete the holder......I tucked a tube of Chap Stick.

The second gift was this OH SO CUTE 'Channel the Flannel' treat box holder.

The treat box is one of the 'Whisper White Mini Gable Boxes' and I used the new 'Buffalo Plaid' stamp set to cover all four sides of the box.

I also filled each of the boxes with some fun embellishments from the Holiday Catalog.

And the final gift was this box of buffalo plaid note cards.

Each box was filled with three Buffalo Plaid note cards......

And I even customized the flap of all three envelopes.

Here are the measurements for the box I created.  I even shared in these pictures exactly were you would put your Tear n' Tape Adhesive.

 

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