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........

My card share for today starts off with a Poppy Parade base card that measures 4-1/4" x 11".  That piece is scored at 5-1/2".

I added a panel of 'Santa Express Designer Series Paper' to the top of my base card ..... And that panel measures 4" x 5-1/4".

I also added a panel of the same 'Santa Express Designer Series Paper' across the center of my card ..... And that panel measures 4" x 2".

My holiday tree was stamped onto a White panel that measures 2-1/2" x 4".  That tree and sentiment are from the 'Trimming The Tree' set.

I did use the 'Tree Trimming Dies' to crop out my stamped Tree ..... And added it to the front of my card.

3-Stacking Boxes

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 SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.

Every year ...... I create a set of OH SO PRETTY stacking boxes for the Christmas Holiday Season.  Here is what I created for this year.....

In past years ....... I used the Envelope Punch Board ...... But this year, I'm using just straight up measurements.

For the BASE of the largest box .... I used a 8" x 8" piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock.  That piece was scored at 2" on all four sides.  For the LID of the largest box .... I used a 6" x 6" piece of 'Festive Foil Designer Series Paper'.  That piece was was scored at 1" on all four sides.

For the BASE of the middle box .... I used a 7" x 7" piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock.  That piece was scored at 2" on all four sides.  For the LID of the largest box .... I used a 5" x 5" piece of 'Festive Foil Designer Series Paper'.  That piece was was scored at 1" on all four sides.

For the BASE of the smallest box .... I used a 6" x 6" piece of Soft Succulent Cardstock.  That piece was scored at 2" on all four sides.  For the LID of the largest box .... I used a 4" x 4" piece of 'Festive Foil Designer Series Paper'.  That piece was was scored at 1" on all four sides.

I topped my pretty stack of boxes with some pretty '1/2" Soft Succulent Ribbon' and tied it up into a pretty bow.

And the finishing touch was adding a few 'Bough Punch' pieces around the top ..... And this PRETTY stack of boxes was called DONE!

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!

More Sparkle 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 Spotilght Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP....

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

The biggest upgrade I made for my card today was creating a SUPER FUN Double Z-fold style card. 

I started off with a Cherry Cobbler base card that measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  It is scored at 2-1/8" and 4-1/4".

The second Z-fold section is made up of a White panel that is 3-1/2" x 6-1/2".  That piece is scored at 2-1/4" and 4-3/8".

The sentiment panel has a Shaded Spruce, Cherry Cobbler and White layering piece added to it.  And the sentiment is stamped from the 'Very Best Occasions' set.

The two inside Z-Fold panels are a Shaded Spruce panel that is 3-1/4" x 2" and a Cherry Cobbler panel that is 3" x 1-3/4".

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

Do you have a favorite???

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 today with a Cherry Cobbler base card.  It measures 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" ..... And I scored that at 4-1/4".

Next, I added a panel of White Cardstock and topped that piece off with a panel of 'Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper'.

Before I adhered that piece down to the front of my card ..... I wrapped some 'Evening Evergreen 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon' around it and tied it into a pretty bow.

My sentiment was stamped onto a layering 'Scallop Contours Dies' piece.  And I used the 'Very Best Occasions' set to create that sentiment.

The finishing touch was adding a few 'Green Pearls' around the front of my card ..... And this card was called 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!

Russell Stover Candy Holders

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 for today.

These little Santa Candy Holders start out with a Lid piece that measures 5-1/4" x 4".  You will score the lid on all four sides at 1/2".

The base box is a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" piece of Real Red Cardstock ..... And that piece is scored at 1/2" on all four sides.

The Santa Belt is a 1/2" x 3" piece.  I just wrapped it around my completed box and finger formed the scored edges.

The Gold Buckle is a square of 'Distressed Gold Paper' and the center is topped off with a 1/2" square of Black Cardstock.

I tucked a Russell Stover Caramel Santa Candy into each of my completed boxes.....

And this little Candy Holder was done in a JIFFY!!!

Mitten 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........

I started this tag off with a White base tag ....... And  I used the 'Celebrations Tag Dies' to crop out my tag.

I cropped out two mittens using the 'Celebrations Tag Dies' and embellished those with the 'Frosted Flurry Dies'.

I used some '2022-2024 In-Color Baker's Twine' to hang my mittens.....

And then I stamped my sentiment onto a cropped out Real Red banner piece from the 'Frosted Flurry Dies' ..... And that sentiment is from the 'Joyful Flurry' set.

The finishing touch was adding some Black stitching lines around the outer edge of my tag ...... And added two 'Adhesive Backed Stars' to my senitment piece.
