The World Awaits Gift Card

 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 July 'The Adventure Begins' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This pretty little card was designed to hold a FUN little SURPRISE on the back.  Let me share that card with you now.......

I started this card off by adhering one of the base cards together. 

I stamped my sentiment onto one of the White circles that came with this kit ...... And adhered it directly to the front of my card.

I added some of the sequins that came with this kit........

And then flipped the card over to the back and used one of the envelopes to create the gift card backing and the frame for the gift card is from one of the card fronts that I cut down.

I stamped the congrats above the gift card and added one of the die-cut trees to the back.

So what do you think????

I'm just crazy about the way this alternate card turned out.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday creation with you ........ Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Penquin 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........

I enjoy making tags throughout the year ....... But TOTALLY enjoy creating them for the Holidays.  Seems like I am always in need of a holiday tag ...... So this year I was able to CRANK OUT four quick little penquin tags in no time flat!

These tags came together with the help of the Sale-a-Bration 'Penquin Playmates Designer Series Paper'.  I created a 3" x 4-1/4" base tag with that paper.

Each tag has a White 'Tasteful Labels Dies' piece adhered right to the center ..... And I used the 'Be Jolly' set to stamp my To/From.

All it took was cropping out one of the little penquins from that Designer Series Paper ...... And I used the 'Penquin Builder Punch' to crop those little cuties out.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Gold 3/8" Shimmer Ribbon' and 'Cherry Cobbler & Gold 1/2" Ribbon' to the top of each tag and I had four tags finished for the holidays.

So what are you waiting for......

Time to get busy and create some holiday tags of your own.

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 QUICK and SUPER EASY Holiday card.

It starts out with a White base card and requires two panels of the 'Gingerbread & Peppermint Designer Series Paper'.

To give my card a little bit of WOW FACTOR ....... I added some 'Real Red Mini Ruffled Ribbon' across the two DSP panels and tied it up into a pretty knot.

My sentiment is from the 'Holly Jolly Wishes' set and I stamped that onto a White 'Seasonal Labels Dies' and then layered that onto a Old Olive circle and a Real Red labels dies piece.

The finishing touch was adding a few of the 'Gold Holly Leaves' and this card was done in a JIFFY.  So what do you think my friends???

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! 

Tasty Treat Box

 Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is '3D TUESDAY'.  That 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.

Around the holidays ....... I am ALWAYS in need of some FUN packaging ideas ...... And this little project was created using two tags that I had on my desk for an upcoming Tag Thursday post.

I filled this little treat box with some Hershey Nuggets ...... that I wrapped with the 'Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper' ...... And was THRILLED how it all turned out.

To start this project off ..... I used two 6" x 3" Cinnamon Cider tags that were both scored at 2".  I adhered those two tag together at the scored off section ..... And that began the base of my Tasty Treat Box.

Next, I got busy to create the wrap that went around my two tags.  I used a piece of Real Red cardstock that measures 2-1/4" x 11".  I scored that piece at 2", 4", 7" and 9".  I adhered that piece around my Cinnamon Cider base and then got busy adding some Designer Series Paper to that piece.

My 'Gingerbread and Peppermint Designer Series Paper' pieces measured ...... 2-1/8" x 2-7/8" and 2-1/8" x  1-7/8".  I cut two pieces each of that DSP and adhered those to the front, back and sides of my Real Red cardstock panel.

Next, I got busy and added a fun little star cookie and sentiment piece to the front of my Tasty Treat Box.  I used the 'Sweets & Treats' stamp set for my sentiment ...... And that was stamped onto a cut down 'Tailor Made Tags Die'.  And the YUMMY star cookie was created with the help of the 'Gingerbread Dies'.

All that was left to do was add some white stitching lines around the outer edges of my Tasty Treat Box.......

And fill this little box up with all the YUMMY

chocolate candies that I had wrapped up.

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!

Season's Greetings 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! Holiday Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

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

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

The first upgrade I made for my card today is change the orientation from Portrait to a Landscape style card.

I started out with a Black base card ....... and added a White panel along with a 'Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper' panel to the top of my card.

Next, I added a White and Black panel across the center of my card ..... But before I adhered that center panel down ...... I wrapped some 'White Bakers Twine' around the left-hand edge and tied it up into a pretty bow.

My snowman images was stamped onto a White base ....... and then I layered it with two additional layers (Black and White).  I used the 'Snowbody Better' set to stamp those ADORABLE snowman images ....... and I used my Stampin' Blends to color in each of those little cuties.

I created a fun little gift card pocket for the inside of my card ......... and I used the 'Peaceful Prints Designer Series Paper' to create that little pocket.

The finishing touch was adding a SWEET little sentiment in the upper right-hand corner ........ and that was created with the 'Penguin Place' stamp set.

So what you think my 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

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

The first thing I did for my card was to add a panel of the 'Heartwarming Hugs Designer Series Paper' to the top of my White card base.

My snowmen images were stamped onto a White card stock panel.  I used the 'Snowbody Better' stamp set to stamp my snowmen.

I used my Stampin' Blends to color in those little cuties ....... and my sentiment was stamped using the 'Penguin Place' stamp set.  I stamped the sentiment in the upper right-hand corner.

I'm thrilled with the way this card turned out.
