Enjoy 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 2020-2021 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 TOP......

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

The first upgrade I made for my card today was changing the orientation of my card and decided to make a standard size card.

And I also created a front pocket section for my upgraded version.   My sentiment frame tucks nicely inside this little pocket.

I followed the same measurements as I did for my card yesterday ....... But for this upgraded version, I did not cut-off my two corner sections ...... But flapped them back to create a pocket.

Here's a closer look at the pocket and how the sentiment frame slips right into that little pocket.

I decorated the inside of my card with one of the 'Heart & Home Memories & More Cards' ..... And for the front, I decorated the top and front flap with some Misty Moonlight cardstock.  I also added three 'Daisy Punch' flower to the front of my card.

So what do 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

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2022 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..........

Check-out this creative notecard design.

I started with a basic Stampin' UP! notecard ...... I measured down (on the opposite side of the fold) 2-1/2" and made a mark.  Then I measured over 1" from the folded side on both the top bottom and made a mark.  All I needed to do was connect those two marks with a score line and that gave me the fold I was looking for.

I used my Paper Trimmer to remove the scored section ..... and this is how the fold will look when you open your notecard.

Next, I got busy and decorated the front of my card.  I added a 1" panel of Misty Moonlight cardstock to the left-hand edge ........ and used one of the 'Heart & Home Memories & More' cards to the right-hand section.  I just flipped my card over and trimmed off the part of the striped paper that was hanging over.

For a little added "something something"....... I used my White Gel Pen to add some stitching lines around the Misty Moonlight panel.

My sentiment is stamped onto a 'Picture This' die-cut frame.  And I used the 'Slim Saying' set to stamp that sentiment.

I used the 'Daisy Punch' to add a fun pop of color to the front of my card ....... And added some 'Fine Tip Glue' to the center of my daisy for an added punch of fun.

So, what do you think my friends......

Isn't it just SO FUN!!!!

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!

Kisses and Hugs

 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 January 'Kisses & Hugs' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's those cards.......

My January kit did not arrive until February 1st ....... so, I'm scrambling to get my samples created.  But here are the two cards that I was able to create with this kit.  Both are 3-section fold-out style cards.

Here is card #1.  I'm loving the way these cards work.

The hearts are all connected ....... And you just add the center embellishments to make them PRETTY!

And here's card #2.  It too is a 3-panel fold-out style card.

I'm just crazy about the decorations on the inside of this card.

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

Aren't they both just ADORABLE!!!!!

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

Hug Me 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 quick and easy Valentine's Day tag I created.  I started out with a Real Red base tag.  That tag measures 2-1/2" x 4-1/4".

Next, I grabbed some White and colored card stock squares and layered three sections to the left-hand edge of my base tag.  To the top of each layered square ...... I cropped out three "Hug Me" hearts from the 'Sweet Talk DSP' using the 'Sweet Hearts Dies'.

Next, I got busy stamping three banner tags from the 'Sweet Conversations' set.

And to finish off this tag ...... I used some 'White Frayed Ribbon' and tied it off with some 'Fan Baker's Twine'.

And that's all it took to create this sweet little tag.

What do you think my 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........

There are those projects that you create ..... And when they are all done ..... You step back and think "YES" that's what I was looking to create.  My card for today is that very project.

I started this card off with a White base card ....... And then added two other card stock panels.  To those two panels, I added a color blocking of Melon Mambo, Real Red, Polished Pink and Gorgeous Grape card stock.

I picked the top left corner color block and stamped my "I Promise" sentiment.  That was from the 'Here Together' set.

Right below the sentiment, I added a single Real Red heart from the "Here For You Dies' and then got busy creating my pinkie swear hands.  Those are from the same die and stamp set ...... And I used the new 'All Together Stampin' Blends' to color both of those hands.

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

So, tell me 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! 

Tiny Heart Kiss Treat

          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 for the upcoming Valentine's Day holiday.  This project was SUPER FUN to create, and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Every holiday, I create some type of little holiday theme candy gift to give out to my friends at Bashas Grocery Store and Starbucks.  I also make enough so I can hand them out while standing in line at the check-out.  I created about thirty of these sweet little gifts.

All it takes to create these little cuties is a punched-out heart........

A little Hersey Kiss......

And a Valentine's banner flag.  

It just doesn't get any easier......

Or Sweeter.

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!
