Healing Hugs 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 to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

  

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

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

 

To start off ...... I changed my card base to a Highland Heather base and added a layer of the 'Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper' to help jazz up this upgraded card.

 

My stamped 'Healing Hugs' flower was stamped onto some Whisper White card stock and then I fussy cut out that image and added it to a Gorgeous Grape and Whisper White panel.

 

I also added some 'Clear Wink of Stella' to my stamped flower ...... And used my 'Highland Heather Stampin' Blends' to color in three 'Pearls' and then clustered those in the center of that flower.

 

I stamped my sentiment right above my pretty flower.....

 

And added some 'Gorgeous Grape 1/4" Mini Striped Ribbon' around my Whisper White and Gorgeous Grape panel.

 

 Two equally pretty cards.......

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!

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

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

 

 I'm just crazy about the way this card turned out.....

 

I started out by adding two 'Gingham Gala Designer Series Paper' panels to both sides of my Whisper White base card.

 

Next, I stamped my 'Healing Hugs' flower image with Gorgeous Grape ink between those two Designer Series Paper panels.  To create a tiny bit of shine to my stamped flower ...... I used my 'Clear Wink of Stella' on that image.

 

Right above my stamped flower ....... I stamped my sentiment....

 

 And this card was done in record breaking time!

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!

April Kit

Daisy Flower 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 just couldn't be happier with the way this tag turned out.

 

I began this tag by using the 'Daisy Delight' set and stamping little daisy images all over my Daffodil Delight tag.  Next......I used my 'Simply Score Board' and created a 1/4" embossed edge around the outer edge of my tag. 

 

 I used the 'Daisy Delight' set to stamp my sentiment with black ink.....

 

And then punched out a White daisy with the 'Daisy Punch'.  To finish off my punched daisy ...... I added a 3/4" and 1/2" Mango Melody circle to the center and added some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to the center of those circles to give some pretty shine to my daisy.

 

All that was left to do was use my 'Mango Melody Stampin' Blends' to color in a small piece of the 'Whisper White Polka Dot Ribbon'.......

 

And then add that colored ribbon to the top of my tag.

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!

You Make Me Happy

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........

 

I had so much fun creating this darling little fun fold card.  I began this card by scoring my Whisper White base card at 2" and 6".  Next, I adhered some of the 'Happiness Blooms Designer Series Paper' to both of those scored sections.

 

Then I stamped my image and sentiment from the 'Hey Love' and 'Meant To Be' sets onto a Whisper White 'Stitched Rectangle' piece.  I used my 'Stampin' Blends' to color in my image and couldn't be happier with the way it turned out.

 

After I had my Whisper White rectangle finished ..... I matted that to a Night of Navy and Call Me Clover rectangle panels.  To finish off that completed panel.....I wrapped some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine' around the top and tied it into a pretty bow. 

Here is how I attached that stamped layered panel ...... And I made sure I only added adhesive to the top portion of that stamped panel so the bottom section hung freely on the front of my card. 

 

And here is how the bottom section of my card opens up.

 

 With all the Designer Series Paper available to me ........

I can't wait to have some fun creating more of

this card with other Designer Series Papers.

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!

Double Tote Box

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 CASE to share with you.  This project is SUPER FUN to create and the product is featured in both the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog and 2019 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project CASE share for today.

 

Today's CASE project is a darling Double Tote Box that the very talented Angie Juda at Chic 'n Scratch shared back on March 1st.  Here is the link to an amazing video that Angie shared:  https://chicnscratch.com/2019/03/best-bunny-double-tote.html

 

For my CASE......I had LOTS of 'Share What You Love Designer Series Paper' that I wanted to use up.......So I knew my Double Tote Box was going to be created to hold a dozen little 3x3 note cards.

 

I started out by creating two 'Double Tote Boxes' and adhering those boxes together .... Back to Back.

 

My dozen 3x3 cards were decorated all the same.....

 

I started out by adding a small panel of 'Share What You Love Designer Series Paper' to a panel of Rich Razzleberry card stock.  Before I adhered that panel down to the center of my little card ...... I wrapped some 'Powder Pink 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon' around the left hand edge and tied it up into a pretty knot.

 

My sentiment was stamped with Rich Razzleberry ink using the 'Vibrant Vases' set....

 

And to finish off each envelope ...... I lined the back flap with more of the 'Share What You Love Designer Series Paper'.

 

And as you can see from this pic ....... a half dozen cards and envelopes fit PERFECTLY inside each of the tote boxes.

All that was left for me to do was add the other 6-cards and envelopes to the other tote box and this project was done in NO TIME FLAT!!!

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!
