Christmas To Remember

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 some Holiday cards that you create and you step back and think ..... That is ONE BEAUTIFUL CARD.  Well that is what I think about my card share for today.  I am TOTALLY in love with this card.

I started off with a 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" piece of Pacific Point cardstock ..... And I scored that at 4-1/4".

I added a panel of 'Snowflake Vellum' that meaures 4" x 5-1/4" to the top of my base card.  Then I added a 5-1/4" x 2-1/4" panel of 'Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper' to the top of that vellum panel.

My sentiment is from the 'Christmas To Remember' set and that is stamped onto a 'Layering Circles' piece.

My PRETTY and FUN holly berry piece was created with the 'Textured Elements Holly Berry' embellishments and I finished it off with some 'White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon'.

And to add some WOW FACTOR to my holly berries .... I colored each one in with my Real Red Stampin' Blends and finished each off with a dot of 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to add some sparkle and shine.

And 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! 

Wishing You Everything Wonder Gift

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 and want to share with you.   This project was OH SO FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

I created these little tag holders for a Downline Team Swap we had a couple months ago.  The theme was snowflakes.....And I designed a FUN little tag pouch.  It holds 4-little snowflake tags.

I started out with a 8" x 5-7/8" piece of White cardstock.  I scored that piece at 5-1/2".  I used the 'Very Best Trio Punch' to crop out the two corners at the top of this piece.

Next, I pulled out my Die-Cut Machine and embossed the small top flap with the 'Wintry 3D Embossing Folder'.

I decorated the small top flap with some (reitred) 'Flowers For Every Season Ribbon' and tied it up into a pretty bow on the side.

My sentiment tag was created with the 'Rectangle Stitched Dies' and the 'Charming Sentiment' set.  I mounted that sentiment piece onto a 'Scallop Contours Dies' piece.

My two tags were created with a 3" x 4-1/2" White base.  To the top and bottom sections ...... I added some 'Storybook Gnomes Designer Series Paper'.

 

I added a single 'Wonderful Snowflakes' die-cut piece to the top of each tag.....

And I used the 'Spruced Up' stamp set to create my To and From message.

And each tag was topped off with some 'Irridescent Trim'.

So ..... There you have it friends.

What do you think????

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!

Enjoy The Season 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 2022-2023 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here's my Spotlight 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 to my card for today was changing up the orientation.  I switched it up from a Landscape style card to a Portrait style card.

I kept the same Old Olive base card ..... But for this upgraded version ..... I added an embossed scored line around the entire front edge of my card.

I used the same Shaded Spruce and White panel for the front of my card.  For this upgraded version ..... I cropped out my tree from the 'Spruced Up Dies' and stamped my sentment right below that tree.

My sentiment used the same 'Spruced Up' set ..... And to PRETTY that piece up ..... I added some 'Old Olive Twill Ribbon' right above the sentiment and tied it up into a PRETTY knot.

I added the same Gold star to the top of my tree ..... But for this upgraded version ..... I added some tiny Real Red circles around the inside of my tree to make it look like shiny ornaments.  And to SHINE UP those red ornaments ..... I added some 'Fine Tip Glue Pen' to the center of each.

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!

Enjoy the Season

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..........

I started my card off for today with an Old Olive base card.

I added a panel of Shaded Spruce and cropped out a Holiday Tree using the 'Spruced Up' set and 'Spruced Up' dies.

My tree was topped off with a Gold star from the 'Spruced Up' Dies.

My sentiment was stamped onto a 'Stylish Shaped Die' piece and I used the 'Very Best Occasions' set to stamp that sentiment.

The finishing touch was adding some White stitching lines around the outer edge of my card and a few White trio dots.

And that's all it took my friends......

To create this DARLING little holiday card.

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!

Santa Pants Candy Holder

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

I'm starting something NEW for my Saturday share and will continue sharing my Saturday Sweet Treat packaging idea with you until the end of the year.  These Saturday projects will be some form of a YUMMY sweet treat packaging.  Here is what I created to share with you today.

Talk about a QUICK & EASY kind of project.......It just doesn't come together any FASTER.

To create this Santa Pants Holder ..... You start with a  8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Real Red Cardstock.  You score that piece at 1-1/2", 4", 5-1/2" and 8".  The bottom is scored at 1-1/2".

All you do is assemble the holder and then STUFF it full of some type of Holiday candy.  What better to fill it with ...... Some Hershey Santa Hats.

The Santa Belt is created with a 3/4" x 9" piece of Black Cardstock.  That piece is scored at 1-1/2", 3-1/8", 5-9/16 and 7-1/8".  The gold buckle is 1-1/4" x 1-1/4".

If you don't want to score that Black Santa Belt piece .... Just wrap that piece around your Santa Pants Holder and finger score the four sides.

And here's what the back of your Santa Pants Holder will look like.

Just doesn't get any EASIER my friends.

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!

Happy Thursday My Blogger Friends!

My blog post for today is Tag Thursday.  Today, I will feature a set of tags I created and show you how easy it is to use minimal supplies to create these SUPER PRETTY set of tags.  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 started this set of tags off with a White base tag that measures 2-3/4" x 3-1/4".

Both tags are topped off with a Real Red cardstock panel that measures 2-1/2" x 3".  I used the 'Very Best Trio Punch' to crop out the top of both the Real Red and White base tag.

I used the 'Kindest Gnomes' stamp set and coordinating 'Gnomes Dies' to crop both of those stamped gnomes out.  And I used my 'Stamppin' Blends' to color in both of those Gnomes.

And my To/From sentiment is stamped using the 'Spruced Up' set.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Gold Satin Edge Ribbon' to the top of my tag and tieing it up into a pretty knot.

SO......There you have it friends....
