Three Season Greetings Tags

 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 little trio of DARLING holiday tags.

Each tag is a 3-5/8" x 1-7/8" Pool Party tag.  I added a White piece that was die-cut from the 'Giving Gifts Dies' and that was positioned directly onto the Pool Party tag.

The sentiment for each of these tags was stamped from the 'Giving Gifts' die cuts.

I also used some the new 'Pool Party 3/8" Grosgrain Ribbon' ...... And tied it up into a pretty bow at the top of my tag.

So my friends ......

If you are in need of some QUICK & EASY tags......

STOP here and give these a try.

Thinking of You Festive Season

 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 SUPER fun fold style card I created.

It's a flap-over style card.

I started with a 6-3/4" x 5-1/2" Basic Gray base card and it was scored (with the 6-3/4" side across the top) at 4-1/4".  I did add a panel of Gray Granite to the inside ...... And decorated the smallest panel with some 'Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper' that measured 2" x 5".

The front flap-over piece was also decorated with the 'Peaceful Place Designer Series Paper'.  

My sentiment was stamped on a White 'Painted Labels' piece and I used the 'Merriest Moments' set to stamp my sentiment.

I also used the circle swirl in the 'Painted Labels Dies' behind my sentiment piece.  It was cropped out with some 'Red Velvet Paper ...... And I added some pretty felt flowers to the top and bottom section of the sentiment piece.

So there you have it friends.......

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! 

Box of Ornament Tags

 Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3D Tuesday' and means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I created.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

My project for today is a sweet litle gift box FULL of ornament tags.

I used one of the 'Mini Paper Pumpkin Boxes' for the base of my box.  I decorated the outside (and inside) with the 'Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper'.

The top of my gift box was topped off with the OH SO YUMMY 'Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon'.  I also created a DARLING little gift tag from the 'Giving Gifts Dies'.

And check out the MAGIC that happens when you wrap this little box of FUN.......

When you open this little gift box ....... It is FILLED to the top with these ADORABLE little ornament tags.  Those were created using the 'Delicate Baubles Dies'.......

And I used the 'Bright Baubles' set to stamp the back of each ornament with a To and From message.

Each ornament was also topped off with some 'Gold Shimmer 3/8" Ribbon' and tied off with a pretty little knot.

So there you have it friends.......

This project couldn't be any EASIER to create......

AND GIVE AWAY!!!!

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!

Christmas to Remember 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 I added a couple additional products found in the 2021 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

My Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday is on the TOP.....

And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded version is on the BOTTOM.

The first upgraded I made to my Mix-It-UP!  version was to change the card orientation from a landscape style card and made a portrait style card.

I wanted to create a FUN FOLD card for my upgraded version ...... So I cut off 1-1/2" from one end of the Real Red base card.  This allowed me to be able to add some DSP to the small flap and then have the inside White panel showing through.  

Here is what the inside of the card looks like when the front flap is opened.

I added a small panel of 'Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper' to the left-hand side of the Real Red base card.

Then I got busy creating my sentiment panel to the front of my card.  I used the same 'Seasonal Labels Dies' as well as the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies' to create my sentiment panel.  I also used the 'Christmas to Remember' set to stamp my sentiment.

My finishing touch was wrapping some 'White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon' around my card and then tied it up into a pretty bow on the right-hand side of my card.

So there you have it 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!

Christmas To Remember

  Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends

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

Every year, Stampin' UP! provides us with some PRETTY AMAZING Designer Series Paper.  And this year they DID NOT FAIL  I created this GOREGOUS holiday card with the help of the 'Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper'.

I started out with a Basic White card base and added a layer of Real Red card stock and a panel of the 'Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper' to the top of the Real Red panel.

Next, I got busy creating a center frame for my sentiment to be displayed.   I started with a Real Red 'Seasonal Labels Die' and then stacked a Crumb Cake label to the top of that.  My sentiment frame is from the 'Stitched So Sweetly Dies'.  I used the 'Christmas To Remember' set to stamp my OH SO PRETTY sentiment.

Then I created a PRETTY bow with the 'White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon' ..... and topped my sentiment off with that pretty ribbon.

I finished this card off with some 'Holiday Rhinestones' and was able to call this card DONE in a 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!
