Happy New Year 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 found in the 2019-2020 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

The first change I made to my upgraded card was changing the orientation of my card from portrait to landscape position.

I stamped my sentient from the 'Everything Festive' set with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Silver Embossing Powder'.  

I used the 'Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper' and created a panel across the top of my card.

Before I adhered that DSP panel down to my card ....... I added some 'Whisper White 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' to the left hand side ....... And secured it in place with a pretty knot.

All that was left to do was add some 'Rhinestones' to the front of my card.....And called this card DONE!

So tell me friends......

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 New Year

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2019 Stampin' UP! Holiday Catalog and the 2019-2020 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.  This card uses several products from both of those catalogs.  I'm just thrilled with the way this card turned out and would like to jump right in and share that card with you now.........

How GORGEOUS is this White and Silver card!!!

I started out with a panel of the 'Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper' and ran that down the left hand side of my Whisper White base card.

Next, I stamped the sentiment from the 'Everything Festive' set with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Silver Embossing Powder'.

After I had that sentiment heat-set ........ I adhered that Whisper White oval onto a Silver Foil scallop 'Layering Ovals Die' piece.

The finishing touch was adding some Rhinestones around the front of my card ....... And this card was done in a SUPER JIFFY!!!

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!

Let It Snow Cardinal

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 Winter Gifts Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This card uses some of the left over pieces from the Winter Gifts kit ....... And I did add a couple additional products to complete this card.

I started out by stamping my sentiment (which was from this kit) onto a panel of Whisper White card stock........

After I had that panel stamped ..... I ran it through my Big Shot and used the 'Subtles Embossing Folder' to give it a little bit of texture.

I used the 'Layering Ovals Dies' to crop out a Real Red center ........ And added one of the pretty Cardinals to that oval.

I punched out two Sprigs from the 'Sprig Punch' and added those to the right hand side of that cropped oval piece.

The finishing touch was adding a few 'Holiday Rhinestone Jewels' to the front of my card.....

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!

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My normal blog post for Thursdays is Tag Thursday ...... But for the month of December ...... I'm going to share some Holiday cards I created.  Check out this SUPER PRETTY card I created.

Who wouldn't LOVE LOVE LOVE to receive this card.

This little cutie started off with a full panel of 'Wrapped in Plaid Designer Series Paper' layered onto a Real Red base card.  Next, I added a sentiment panel across the bottom of my card.

I used the 'Snowman Season' set to stamp my sentiment......

And added a tiny 'Real Red 3/8" Cotton Ribbon' around the left hand side of that sentiment panel.

To create my snowman image ........ I die-cut two 'Layering Squares Dies' and layered those onto the front of my card.  

And used the 'Snowman Season' set to stamp my image.

Just the perfect little holiday card.......

For that someone special on my list!!!!

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!

Christmas Truck

Merry Christmas 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........

How FUN is this little Red Christmas Truck!!!

I started this card off by stamping my sentiment from the 'Ride With Me' set in the upper left hand corner of my card.

Next, I added a 3/4" x 4-3/4" panel of 'Night Before Christmas Designer Series Paper' to the bottom portion of my card.

I then stamped my little Red Truck from the 'Ride With Me' set onto Real Red card stock and used the 'Truck Ride' dies to crop that little cutie out.

The tires were glossed up with some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen'.....

And I added a Christmas Tree to the back of my truck.

I finished off my tree with several 'Holiday Rhinestone Basic Jewels'.

And this card was done in Christmas Jiffy!!!!

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!

December Random Act of Kindness

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

How ADORABLE are these little Candy Cane Mice!!!!

I spotted these on Dawn's Stamping Thoughts back on November 6, 2008 (https://dawnsstampingthoughts.net/) ......... And have been making them every year for my Random Act of Kindness gifts.  Each day (from December 1st and going through till Christmas Day) I hand out one of these to someone standing in line with me.......Store Clerks.......or just someone walking in the parking lot who looks like they need a special something something.  They are SUPER EASY to create ....... And they create that WOW FACTOR we are all looking for during this busy holiday season.

  

I made two versions of this little cutie.  Here's my gray mouse.....

  

And my brown mouse. 

Don't you just LOVE his little face!!!!

I added a candy cane to the cut out section and then adhere one of my business cards to the back of each little Candy Cane Mouse.

These little guys do exactly what they were made for.....

Help someone FEEL GOOD for just a moment in their busy day.

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!
