Joy To The World Card

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........

This just has to be one of my favorite holiday cards for this year.

I used the 'Softly Falling' Embossing Folder to create some pretty snow to the bottom portion of my Whisper White card.

Next, I stamped my sentiment to a Balmy Blue panel with the 'Hearts Come Home' set.

And I used the 'Hometown Greetings' dies to create a pretty village image on the upper portion of my Whisper White card base.

This card came together in a snap and packs a whole lot of WOW FACTOR that I was looking for in a holiday card.

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!

Christmas Planner

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends

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 is SUPER FUN to create and the product is featured in the 2018-2019 Annual Stampin' UP! Catalog.  Let's jump right in with my project share for today.......

This past weekend........I held a couple classes teaching how to create this FESTIVE & FUN Christmas Planner.  It was a sold out event.......And the ladies enjoyed learning how to make this very useful holiday planner.

This planner was made with a Red File Folder (that I bought at Staples) ...... And all we did was create four pocket sections and decorated the entire planner with the 'Under The Mistletoe Designer Series Paper'.

The front scallop pieces has a thin magnetic attached to both the scallop piece and the front of the planner .........

And that allowed the flap to swing out so you can gain access to the four pockets that are inside the planner ..... And also acts as the closure for this planner.

Each pocket was decorated with pieces of Designer Series Paper.....

And on the inside of each pocket there were notepads we created to house some very important planner pages for the holidays.

Each planner notepad tucked inside each of the pockets.....

And this planner will help keep you organized and on task for the ever so busy holiday season.

I even created a spot for the pencil to be attached to the planner ....... So you will always be ready to jot a note or check a list.

 

Just crazy about the way this planner turned out .......

And I'm making a few extra kits to take back to Madison in November so my scrapbooking friends can each make one too.

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!

3-Elephant Upgraded Card

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 added a couple additional products found in the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.

 Here is my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the TOP.....

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

 I began this upgraded card by changing the orientation........

And keeping the base card Whisper White.....

I did keep the same Night of Navy Designer Series Paper on this card ...... But for this upgraded version, I only added a small panel across the top portion of my card.

 

I did add a piece of 'Whisper White 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon' around my Designer Series Paper ........ And topped that ribbon off with a double Baker's Twine bow made with both Whisper White and Night of Navy Twine.

I kept the same trio of stamped elephants for this upgraded card ...... But reversed the layering of the circles.  And one additional touch was adding a tiny pearl that was colored in with my 'Night of Navy Stampin' Blends Marker' under each little elephant.

My sentiment was stamped and then sprinkled with Clear Embossing Powder ...... and then adhered to the right hand edge of my Designer Series Paper.

 

 So there you have it friends........

Two darling little elephant cards!!!!

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!

3-Elephant Congrat Card

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends!

Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2018-2019 Stampin' UP! Annual Catalog.   This card uses several products from that catalog ....... And I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.  Let's jump right in with my card share for today..........

There are some sets that just make you smile .........

And the 'Little Elephant' set does that to me!!!!

I started this card out by stamping my little elephant stamp three times with Night of Navy ink and then cropping each out with the 'Elephant Punch'.

Each little elephant was mounted to a 1-3/8" Night of Navy circle and then matted to a 1-1/2" Whisper White circle.

My sentiment was created with the same 'Little Elephant' set and I created a banner flag that I popped off the bottom elephant circle.

You can bet that I'm already planning to make more of this card in both pink and yellow.

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!

Apple Card

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 July Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......

This alternate Paper Pumpkin card used some of the extra pieces in the July kit.

I began this card by stamping the sentiment that came with the July kit ....... And I used Real Red ink and sprinkled it with some Clear Embossing Powder before heat setting it.

The pretty checked DSP was from the basket liner paper in this kit......

And so was this apple ..... Which I sponged with some Real Red ink before adhering it down to a Whisper White 'Stitched Shape Circle'.

All that was left to do was add a few green 'Enamel Dots' around the front of this card ...... And this card was finished in no time flat!

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!

Bunny 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........

This tag is going to look ADORABLE when I attach it to a sweet little baby gift bag.

I started this tag off by stamping my bunny image and sentiment from the 'Best Bunny' set ...... and I used VersaMark Ink and Clear Embossing Powder to add a WOW FACTOR to my stamped image.

After I punched my stamped Crumb Cake circle out with my 2" Circle Punch ........ I matted that 2" circle to a Whisper White 'Burst Circle Punch'.

 

Next, I cut out six 1" Pool Party squares and arranged them to my Crumb Cake tag.  After I had them perfectly spaced ...... I glued them down and adding my stamped bunny circle to the center of my tag.  I finished off four of the Pool Party squares with a 'Gold Faceted Gem'.

And I finished off my tag with some 'Pool Party 3/8" Sheer Ribbon' and added some 'Gold Sequin Trim' and tied it off with a pretty 'Linen Thread' bow.

This tag turned out EXACTLY the way I had it pictured it in my head ........ And I'm always SO HAPPY when that happens!

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!
