Happy New Year Treat Handout

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!

I'm continuing my Saturday Sweet Treat packaging ideas to kick off the new year ..... And this YUMMY sweet treat packaging is a PERFECT share for today.  Here is what I created to kick this new blog posting off.

Check out the SUPER FUN treats I created to hand-out while I was shopping or just standing in lines at the first of the year.

These were created with a vellum piece of cardstock that measures 3-1/4" x 5".  All I had to do was secure the ends and then wrapped a piece of ribbon around the center.  The BEST PART of this little treat handout is that is doesn't require any adhesive.

I make sure that I tuck one of my business cards to the back of my treat holder...

And top my sentiment off with a retired "Happy New Year!" layered circle.

The ribbon acts as a way of keeping the holder closed and also accents the pretty sentiment layered circle.

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!

It's Your Day Gift Card Holder

Happy Friday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Fun Fold Friday and that means I have a special little Fun Fold Gift Card Holder to share with you. Let's kick off this Fun Fold Friday share right now.........

This sweet little gift card holder was inspired by Su Mohr at Aromas And Art.  I changed things up a tiny bit for my creation ..... But have to give Su Mohr the credit for this DARLING gift card holder.

As you can see from this picture ...... The gift card holder is secured with a FUN little belly band.

I started off with a 5" x 7-3/4" piece of Mango Melody cardstock.  I scored that piece at 1-3/4", 4-5/8" and 5-1/4".

To open this gift card holder ..... You remove the belly band.  And that piece measures 8-1/2" x 11".

And inside is a slot for a gift card.

I used the 'Simply Fabulous' set to stamp my sentiment on the inside.

And for the Happy Birthday sentiment on the gift card holder ..... I used the 'Happiness Abounds' set.

And for the DARLING little owl and sentiment on the front .... I used the 'Adorable Owls' Sale-a-Bration set.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to begin sharing a special new Sweet Treat Saturday release with you ........Hope you can make plans to stop back and join me for that share.  Keep Living Your Dream!

Lots of Love 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 off with a 2-1/2" x 4-1/4" Crumb Cake base tag.    

Next, I used the 'Celebrating You' stamp set and some VersaMark ink and stamped my sentiment onto a 1" x 2-1/2" piece of 'Enjoy The Journey Designer Series Paper'.  I sprinkled that sentiment with Black Embossing Powder ..... Which gave my sentiment a pretty SHINE!

I used my 'Give It A Whirl Dies' and cropped out the largest heart from that set ...... And also cropped out two smaller hearts ..... And got those positioned directly onto my tag.

My tag is topped off with some 'Polished Pink 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon'.

And I used my Black Stampin' Write Marker

to stich around my tag.

What do you think my friends.....

I am IN LOVE with this tag.

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Fun Fold Friday creation 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........

I'm IN LOVE with the way this card turned out.  The Gorgeous Grape color just makes me HAPPY!

I started off with a White base card......And added a Gorgeous Grape panel and a White panel to the top.

I cropped out six 1-1/4" x 1-1/4" squares of the new 'Dandy Designs Designer Series Paper' and arranged those in the center of the White panel.

Next, I used the 'Pretty Pillowbox Dies' to crop out six sets of flowers.  

And then stamped my sentiment at the bottom of the White panel.

The finishing touch was adding some 'Opaque Adhesive Backed Gems' to the center of each flower ...... And called this card done.  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! 

Happy New Year Mailbox Caddy

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.

Check out this ADORABLE candy holders I made to hang on my neighbors mailboxes.

They are made from a piece of 'Thick White Cardstock'.  The base of this box is 6-1/4" x 3-3/4" and it's scored at 1" on all four sides.  And the insert divider is a 1-5/8" x 8" piece of 'Thick White Cardstock' that is scored at 1-1/4", 2-1/4", 3-1/4",4-3/4", 5-3/4" and 6-3/4".

I covered the outside of the box with some Gold Foil Paper and retired Gold Foil Designer Series Paper.

The sentiment piece is from the VERY RETIRED 'Sweet Celebrations' set .... And I used the 'Alphabest' set and punched all the numbers out with the 'Best Label Punch'.

All that was left to do was tie my cello bag up with some retired Gold Ribbon and these little gifts were DONE in no time flat.

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! 

Best Wishes Upgrade 2023

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 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 to my card for today was changing the orientation from a landscape style card to a portrait style card.

I kept the base of my card white ..... And added two addtional layers.  The first layer is Pacific Point and to the top of that I added a layer of the 'Storybook Gnomies Designer Series Paper'.

Before I adhered those layers down ..... I wrapped some 'White 3/8" Glittered Organdy Ribbon' around those panels and tied it up into a pretty knot on the front.

Next, I added a couple layers of White cardstock (for a snow image) and that was torn on one edge and the top edges were distress with some blue ink.  I also used the 'Joyful Flurry' stamp set to stamp my sentiment onto the bottom white edge with Pacific Point ink.

I also added several little snowflake die-cut images to the front of my card.  And those snowflakes were from the 'Spruced Up Dies'.

And the finishing touch was adding some silver pearls to the center of the three snowflakes and around 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!

Best Wishes 2023

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.

What a delightful way to kick-off 2023.

I added a panel of the 'Storybook Gnomies Designer Series Paper' to the front of my White base card.

Next, I got busy and cropped out a few snowflakes from the 'Spruced Up Dies'.  I arranged those around the front of my card.

And then I got busy and created my sentiment piece.  I used the 'Joyful Flurry' stamp set and stamped that onto a white cropped out piece from the 'Stylish Shapes Dies'.  I backed that piece with a Pacific Point circle and added one more snowflake to that corner of my card.

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

Happy New Year to all.

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!
