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 but I have to admit that with Jack being in the hospital since Friday I'm hoping I have the CASE from Julie DiMatteo at the Paper Pixie giving proper credit.  Julie has a video for this project on her 11/29/19 blog posting.  Let's jump right in and let me share that project with you now.

How ADORABLE are these little Merci Candy Holders.

I created all of them with Whisper White card stock, and covered them with Frost Designer Series Paper.

Each one has a FLIP top.....

And has Silver Embossing Powder decorating them.

Here's the pattern for this holder.

You use a piece of Whisper White that measures 3-3/4" x 8-3/4".

Score the 3-3/4" side at 3/8, 3/4, 3 and 3-3/8.

Score the 8-3/4" side at 2-1/2", 2-7/8", 6-3/8" and 6-3/4"

So I must admit......

My neighbors LOVED their mailbox gift.

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 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 from yesterday  on the LEFT.....

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

The first change I made to my card today......Was changing the orientation from Portrait to a Landscape  card.

Next, I added my 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper' to the bottom portion of my Whisper White base card.

I stamped my sentiment onto a banner  flag ..... And then added some 'Granny Apple  Green 3/8" Textured Weave Ribbon' to the top section of my Designer Series Paper.

All  I needed to do  with the Weave Ribbon.......Was tie it up into a pretty knot.

I used the 'Layering Circles  Dies' to stamp my 'Beautifully Braided' flower.....

And colored in some  'Basic Pearls' with my 'Granny Apple  Green Stampin' Blends' and arranged those  on the front of my card.

And that's all it took my friends  to upgrade this card.

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 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..........

This card uses my favorite suite in the Mini Catalog.

It's the Peaceful Poppies Suite.

Check out the beautiful Designer Series Paper I added to the top and bottom of my card.  It's the 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper' and it is FABULOUS!!!

I used the 'Beautifully Braided' set to stamp my sentiment in the lower right corner of my card.....

And then I stamped the GORGEOUS flower from that set right in the middle of my Whisper White base card.

Just couldn't be happier with the way this card turned out....

What do you think my friends.

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!

Hey Friend

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 December 'Something For Everyone' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This fun card used all the product from the December kit along with a couple items from the Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.

I used the banner flag and cut-out pieces that came with this kit.......And created a fun 'Hey Friend' kind of sentiment piece.

And that's all it took to create this fun 

alternate Paper Pumpkin card.

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!

Hello Tulip

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........

There are some things in this world that just makes my heart SMILE BIG ....... And next to a basket of anything PINK ....... hands down it's a Red Tulip.

I started this tag off by stamping my sentiment in the lower left hand corner of my tag.

Next, I created two BEAUTIFUL tulips with the help of the 'Timeless Tulips' set and the coordinating 'Tulip Builder Punch'.

Finishing off my tag was a snap with the help of the 'Real Red Double-Stitched Satin Ribbon'.

And that's all it took my friends to create this pretty 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!

Get Well Soon

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........

This card would surely help anyone feel better.

It starts out with the stamped get well soon sentiment from the 'Timeless Tulips' set.  I used Mossy Meadow ink to stamp that sentiment.

Next, I got busy and created a beautiful poppy with the help of the new 'Painted Poppies' set.  It was a snap to crop out that poppy with the new 'Poppy Moments Dies'.  And how could I not finish off the center of that BEAUTIFUL poppy flower.  I added a cluster of the new 'Champagne Rhinestones' to the center and that just helped my poppy flower POP!!

I used the new 'Whisper White Crinkled Seam Binding' for a tiny touch of pretty.  And I used both my 'Poppy Parade' and 'Rich Razzleberry Stampin' Blends' to color that ribbon in.

OH.......And dare I say that my favorite part of the 'Peaceful Poppies Suite' just has to be the FANTASTIC 'Peaceful Poppies Designer Series Paper'.

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!
