Tissue Holder

Happy Tuesday My Blogger Friends!
My blog post for today is 'CASE IT TUESDAY'.  That means today I have a fun little 3-D project that I found on the internet ....... And I created a CASE of that project to share with you today.  This project was SUPER FUN to create and I want to jump right in and share that project with you now.
This DARLING little project was shared on the Sally Stamper blog.  She shared this project on June 9th.  Here is the link to that post:
 
The holder is a 7-1/2" x 7-3/8" piece of Magenta Madness card stock.  It is scored on the 7-3/8" side at 1", 5-3/8" and 6-3/8".  And on the 7-1/2" side I scored at 1", 2", 4-1/4" and 5-1/4".  Sally shares on her video how to trim down your piece of card stock to create the image of my picture above.
The DSP I used was the '2020-2022 In-Color Magenta Designer Series Paper'.  The pieces are cut out Qty 2-pc 4-1/8" x 2" and Qty 2-pc 2" x 3/4".
I wrapped some 'Magenta Madness 1/4" Ribbon around the left hand side of my tissue holder ...... and tied it up into a pretty bow.
 And there you have it friends......
Can you even image making a batch of these up 
for your friends, neighbors and co-workers.  
They will LOVE you for it.  

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!

Gather Together 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 2020 Stampin' UP! Mini Catalog to bring this card up to the next stamping level.
Here's my Spot Light Sunday card from yesterday on the LEFT....
And my Mix-It-UP! Monday upgraded card for today on the RIGHT....
The first upgrade I made for my card today was changing the orientation from landscape to a portrait style card.  And I also changed the base card from Whisper White to Crumb Cake.
I used the 'Gather Together' set and stamped pumpkins all over the front of my Crumb Cake base card.
Next, I added a Early Espresso and 'Gilded Autumn Designer Series' panel to the top of my card.....
And then added another Early Espresso and Very Vanilla panel to the top of that.  I used the same pumpkin stamp and stamped Early Espresso pumpkins all over that Very Vanilla panel before adhering it down.
My sentiment was stamped on a 1-1/2" Very Vanilla Circle ...... And the same 'Everyday Label Punch' was used on my upgraded card.  I did however, change up the orientation of that punched out piece from landscape to portrait.
I also added a large piece of the 'Whisper White Flowers For Every Season Ribbon' (that was colored with my 'Dark Crumb Cake Blends') behind my stamped sentiment piece.
The finishing upgrade I made was adding two of the 'Acorn Trinkets' to the bottom of my sentiment piece ....... And this upgraded card was called done!
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!

Gather Together

Happy Sunday My Blogger Friends
Today is Spotlight Sunday ....... And I have a card I created using product from the 2020 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..........
Something about the warm and rich colors of fall that brings me peace.  And I'm feeling pretty cozy these days (even though it's well over 100 degrees here in AZ) when I grab for all my fall product.
This card starts out with a Very Vanilla card base and I added a panel of Crumb Cake to the top.  Before I adhered that Crumb Cake panel down ...... I used the 'Gather Together' stamp set and stamped pumpkins all over that panel.
The next step I took was adding a cardstock (Early Espresso) and 'Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper' panel to the center of my card.
My sentiment was stamped (from the 'Gather Together' set) onto a 1-12" Very Vanilla Circle and then added to a Early Espresso 'Everyday Label Punch' piece.
To finish off my sentiment piece ..... I added two 'Wonderful Gems' and a tiny piece of 'Whisper White Flowers For Every Season Ribbon' (that was colored with my 'Dark Crumb Cake Blends').
So what do you think my friends????
Does this card make you happy????

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!

3-Times A Friend

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 August 'World's Greatest' Paper Pumpkin kit.   Here's that project.......
How special is someone going to feel when they receive this card.
I used the base card that was included in this kit ..... And added a panel of Whisper White and Mint Macaron cardstock down the front of my card.
The three #1 medallions were used directly from the kit....
As well as the three Friend banners.
Took no time to create this card......

3 Bats & 3 Boo's

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 FUN 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 have to confess........We have Bats here in Arizona.  
I LOVE to go out to my Pool in the evenings and take a little dip.  HOWEVER.....Going out once it's dark is NOT an option.  The Bats SERIOUSLY skim right over my head......And it kind of FREAKS ME OUT!!!  So my pool dipping nights are done WELL BEFORE DARK.
Back to my tag.....I used a Basic Black tag base that measures 2-1/2"x4-1/4".  I stamped my "BOO" three times using the 'Banner Year' set and Whisper White Embossing Powder.
For the Bats......I stamped them onto little 1"x1" Whisper White squares.  I then sprinkled each with Black Embossing Powder to give them a fun little shine.
The top of my tag was finished off with some of the new 'Metallic 1-1/2" Mesh Ribbon'.  I tied that up into a pretty little bow before adhering it to the top of my tag.
And that's all it took my friends.
What do you think????

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!

Glad You're In My Life

 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........
Check out the FUN card my team made at our Tuesday Mystery Stamping.  This idea came from the SUPER TALENTED Sharon Armstrong, who does her Mystery Stamping on Monday's.  I just put my own spin on her Mystery Stamping.......and my team gathers together on Zoom the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Tuesday of every month.  I send a list of supplies (Clue #1) to my team member on the Monday before our gathering........And they bring their supplies to our Zoom meeting.  I then walk the team through each additional Clue.......and they create their own Mystery style card during the meeting.  At the end of our meeting ...... It a big surprise to see what everyone created.
For my Mystery Tuesday card ...... I started out with a Whisper White base card.
Next, I embossed a Blackberry Bliss cardstock panel with the 'Hammered Metal Embossing Folder'.  That embossed panel was then adhered down to the front of my base card.
I gathered nine little 1"x1" squares of the 'Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper' and adhered those down onto a Whisper White panel.
Then I wrapped some 'Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding Ribbon' around the bottom portion of the DSP panel.   I adhered that DSP panel down to the front of my card with some Stampin' Dimensionals.
The finishing touch was stamping my sentiment from the 'Love of Leaves' set onto a punched out 'Tailor Tag Punch' piece.  That sentiment was also adhered down onto my card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
And that's all it took my friends to create this FUN Mystery Tuesday 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!
