Things I Miss

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual 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..........

 

On May 26th, Sara Douglass (CEO of Stampin' UP!) hosted a Stampin' UP! Day of Service Craft Party and this is one of the cards I created.

 

I started out with a panel of 'Ornate Garden DSP.....

 

And used the Share Sunshine PDF Download for my sentiment panel.  

 

A pretty daisy was created for the front of my card......

 

 And this card was done in a HOT NEW YORK minute.

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!

Life Is Better

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........

 

How AWESOME is this little tag!!!

 

Most of the work was done for me with the help of the new 'Many Medallions Dies' and the new Cinnamon Cider card stock.  I positioned that BEAUTIFUL medallion frame on the front of my Whisper White base tag........

 

And then I got busy creating my sentiment.  I stamped my sentiment from the 'Many Mates' set onto a banner flag that was die-cut from the 'Tasteful Labels Dies'.  To add a touch of LOVELY to my sentiment ...... I wrapped some of the Gold Trim that is in the 'Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack' behind my banner flag.

 

To add a bit of WOW FACTOR to this tag ..... I punched out a set of butterflies from the 'Butterfly Duet Punch' with the new 2020-2022 InColor Designer Series Paper......

 

 And topped my tag off with some of the OH SO YUMMY 'Magenta Madness 1/4" Ribbon.

 

I'm just CRAZY about the way this tag turned out.

What do you think my sweet friends????

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!

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........

 

 Check out this DARLING little Thanks note card.

 

To start off I stamped my sentiment from the 'Ornate Thanks' set onto a 'Tailored Tag' punch piece.

 

I positioned a panel of the 'Ornate Garden Designer Series Paper' onto a panel of Terracotta Tile card stock and before adhering it down to my 'Whisper White note card'......I wrapped some 'Ornate Garden Ribbon' around the center.

 

To finish off that ribbon.....I added a pretty white bow.

 

And that's just how FAST this card comes together.

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!

My Cactus Garden Album

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.

 

This CASE is from the very talented Patty Bennett.  She created this DARLING Mini Album on 4/26/2020 and even shared a video on how to create this PERFECT little mini album on her blog post.    

(https://youtu.be/DuMyOpbMR04)

 

I just couldn't wait to create this little cutie.  As crazy as Patty is for flowers ...... My LOVE is my Cactus Garden (could that be because I live in AZ???).  And I thought ...... What a perfect little scrapbook to spot-light all my BEAUTIFUL cactus pots in my garden.

 

The only change I made to my mini album ....... Was changing the card stock cover piece to 3-1/2" x 7-1/2" and I scored that piece at 3-1/2" and 4".  I knew I would be adding LOTS of photos into this little album ...... and wanted to give myself PLENTY of space for those photos.

 

So ...... I grabbed my Sprocket Printer and started printing off pictures of my FABULOUS Cactus Garden on my Ramada (which is right outside my kitchen window ...... So I have the JOY of looking at this BEAUTIFUL garden every single time I stand at my kitchen sink).

 

My Sprocket Printer was the PERFECT size for this album.

   

 It prints out 2"x3" pictures......

  

And I was able to capture all the PRETTY that is in this garden.

  

I used the 'Ornate Garden DSP' for the inside of my album.

   

 And TerraCotta Tile card stock for my cover.

  

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

 

 And have it on our living room coffee table.....

 

 For all to pick-up and view.

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!

Ornate Thank You 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 new 2020-2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 

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

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

The first thing I did was stamp my sentiment from the 'Ornate Thanks' stamp set on the bottom edge of my Whisper White note card.

 

Next, I used the 'Ornate Border Dies' to crop out a border piece ....... But for this card I made the border piece much wider.

 

I added the 'Ornate Garden Ribbon' to the border edge piece and added three 'Gilded Gems' into the center of each of the flowers.

So tell me friends......Which is your 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!
