Merci Holder

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 want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Someone in the Stampin' UP! family deserve create for the idea behind this creation ...... But I can't remember who.  I've created this package idea in the past ...... but this one I made to kick-off the 2020 New Year.

To get this look ..... You cut one of our 'Acetate Boxes' at 4" (that gives you two holders with one acetate box).

I then used a piece of 'Neutrals 6"x6" Designer Series Paper' to create the insert that slides right inside the holder.

I filled my holder with six Merci Chocolates.....

And wrapped some pretty 'Whisper White 3/8" Metallic-Edge Ribbon' around my holder ...... and tied it up into a beautiful bow.

The finishing touch was using the 'Everything Festive' set along with some 'Silver Embossing Powder' and created this GORGEOUS sentiment piece.

This Merci Holder makes for a beautiful presentation for that someone special on your Happy New Year list.

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!

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 an additional product found in the 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini 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...

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

Next, I stamped my sentiment from the 'Positive Thoughts' set in the upper left hand corner of my Whisper White panel.

Then I was able to stamp my flower/sprig right below my stamped sentiment.....

And added some of the Garden Green 'Country Club Twine' to the bottom of that Whisper White panel.

All that was left to do was add some trio dots from my Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker......And this card was done in a jiffy.

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 Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the new 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  This card uses several products from that new catalog ........ And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

Need a quick & easy kind of card......

I've got you covered with this sweet little note card.

I started out by stamping my sentiment from the new 'Positive Thoughts' set in the lower right hand corner of my Whisper White note card.  I used Garden Green ink to stamp my sentiment.

Next, I grabbed the large floral/sprig image from the 'Positive Thoughts' set and stamped that image onto the left hand side of my note card.

All that was left to do was fill in some of the white space ...... And I used my Garden Green Stampin' Write Marker to draw some trio dots around my card.

And that was all it took my friends to complete this quick & easy note card.  Can you even image it in other colors!

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's Celebrate 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........

Check out this cute CASE from the new 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog.  It is featured on Page 5 of that new catalog (Which goes LIVE tomorrow).  The catalog featured this on a greeting card ....... And I just changed it up to be a single gift tag.

One of the HAPPIEST sets in the Mini Catalog just has to be the 'Bonanza Buddies' set on Page 34.  OH MY GOSH........I LOVE LOVE LOVE these little guys.  

I started out by stamping my two critters with the 'Bonanza Buddies' set and then grabbing the coordinating 'Bonanza Dies' to crop all the pieces out.

My sentiment is also from that same set ....... And all I needed to do was trim out that sentiment and arrange those words on the side of my tag.

One of the changes I made to my tag was adding the colorful 'Assorted PomPoms to my card.......

And I finished off my tag with some 'Whisper White Baker's Twine'.

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!

Peace, Love and Happiness

Happy New Year My Blogger Friends!

Time to kick off 2020 with a Wine-Down Wednesday card.  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........

This card uses the carry over 'Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper' and the 'Everything Festive' stamp set.

I added a panel of the 'Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper' to the bottom section of my Whisper White base card......

And then stamped my sentiment with VersaMark ink and sprinkled it with 'Silver Embossing Powder'.  I used the new 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' for both my cropped out sentiment and the silver foil scallop piece.

I decorated the inside of my card with a sentiment from the 'So Sentimental' set ...... And cropped out two glasses to finish off the inside.

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

What do you think????

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!
