3D Tuesday - Door Prize Gifts

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
29 days and counting!!!!

My blog post for today is 3-D Tuesday.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project to share with you.  This project was SO MUCH FUN to create that I ended up creating TWO boxes for the month of January.  I used product that can be found in both the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog as well as the 2017 Stampin' UP! Occasions Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

Here's the first box of cards that I made for the January SouthWest Stampers Door Prize.

I used the Stampin' UP! Whisper White Note Cards & Envelopes to create my four coordinating cards that were tucked inside the box.  And I used the 'Sending Love Designer Series Paper Stack' to decorate the Note Cards.......

I also decorated the front of the envelopes and lined each of the envelopes with the 'Sending Love' Paper Stack.

And here is the box of notecards I made for my January Stamp Camp Early Bird Door Prize.

Each card had multiple DSP circles arranged on the front ...... and I used my Real Red Stampin' Write Marker to add stitching lines around all five trailing circles.

And here is a closer-up of how I decorated each of the envelopes.

Both boxes of cards turned out GREAT.......

And the winner SQUEALED with happy when their name was drawn.

 

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

Mix-It-UP! Monday - Birthday Wishes Upgrade

Happy Monday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
30 days and counting!!!!

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 added a couple additional products (found in the 2016-2017 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog) to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

Here is yesterday's Spot Light Sunday card on the LEFT......

And today's Mix-It-UP! Monday card on the RIGHT......

For today's upgraded version......I selected a Cherry Cobbler base card over the original Whisper White card that I used to create yesterday's card.

I also used clear embossing powder to bring out some extra shine to each of the flowers I stamped with the 'Avant Garden' set.

I added a pretty So Saffron scallop oval to my sentiment......

And added some Linen Thread around the bottom portion of my Whisper White stamped flower panel. 

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

Which one do you like the best????

 

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! 

Spot Light Sunday - Birthday Wishes

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
31 days and counting!!!!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2017 Stampin' UP! Sale-a-Bration Catalog and the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog.  This card uses product from both of those catalogs........So let me jump right in with my card share for today.........

This crisp and clean card came together with the help of the Sale-a-Bration 'Avant Garden' stamp set.  I truly am IN LOVE WITH THIS SET!!!!!

I began this card by stamping the flower from this set onto Whisper White cardstock in three bright and bold ink colors.  I selected Cherry Cobbler, Crushed Curry and Marina Mist ink.

Without a doubt ...... Stampin' UP! knocked this set out of the park with details.

My birthday sentiment is from that same 'Avant Garden' set and I used my 'Layering Ovals Framelits' along with the new 'Stitched Shapes Framelits' die for my two layers.

A delightful card that comes together quickly and can be created in an endless line-up of color combinations.

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!

Paper Pumpkin Saturday - Heart Trio

Happy Saturday My Blogger Friends!
The COUNT DOWN for my daughter's
arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
32 days and counting!!!!

My blog post for today is Paper Pumpkin Saturday ........... And do I have a SERIOUSLY FUN CARD to share with you!  This is a card I made with the January Paper Pumpkin kit.  I added some extra cardstock and ribbon to create this card ........ And I'm just thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let me share that card with you now.

Who wouldn't love receiving this beautiful thanks card!

I stamped my sentiment and used Gold Embossing Powder to create a super shiny 'Just a little thanks!' sentiment in the lower right hand corner of my Pink Pirouette base card. 

I grabbed my 'Sweet & Sassy Heart Framelits' and used one of the smallest hearts to create a row of three Whisper White hearts.  I added one of the small gold heart stickers that were included in this January kit to accent the center of each Whisper White die-cut heart.   And all that was left to do to each of the hearts was grab my Stampin' Write Pink Pirouette Marker and add some stitching lines.

I also added two embossed lines above and below my trio of hearts ........ and I added some 5/8" Organza Ribbon and 1/8" Gold Ribbon to the top of my card and called this card done!

 

Thanks for joining me today!  I'll be back tomorrow to share a Spot Light Sunday card 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!

arrival for my Saddle-UP! event is......
34 days and counting!!!!

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 GIFT TAG.  Now that you have the details for this weeks Tag Thursday ....... Let's jump right in with my tag share for today.

I am just NUTSO on how this tag turned out!

I used the new SAB 6x6 Glimmer Paper Assortment Pack that will offered as a FREE Sale-a-Bration promotion beginning February 21st.

I used the 'Up & Away Thinlits Dies' and 'Lift Me Up' stamp set to create my two hot air balloons.  And I added the new Sweet Sugarplum Glimmer Paper behind my largest balloon to REALLY SPARKLE my tag up.

To create my sentiment banner I used the 'Custom Tee' set to stamp my Good Luck in Sweet Sugarplum ON Sweet Sugarplum cardstock.  My banner shape was created with the help of the 'Project Life Cards & Labels' framelit set.

For a tad bit of PRETTY.........I added a cluster of Sequin Trim along with a tail of 1/8" Silver Ribbon and topped it off with a Whisper White Baker's Twine bow.

And to finish my tag off.......I used the 3/8" Sweet Sugarplum Ruched Ribbon and some Whisper White Baker's Twine and added a few Blushing Bride Sequin Trim to the front of my tag.

Just LOVE LOVE LOVE all the pretty that went into making this tag.

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!
