Stamp It Blog Hop — Happy Fall Y'all Candy Topper

Hello stampers and crafty friends! I'm so happy you are here.  Welcome to our August Stamp It Blog Hop!  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from one of the other Stamp It members blog...either way, make sure to click the blog next in line to move along the hop and not miss a beat.

This month's hop theme is one of my favorites—Happy Fall!  But, Fall can capture so many different aspects of the season...leaves, pumpkins, harvested crops, and cool, crisp mornings.

One of my favorite Fall projects is to create tag toppers for yummy chocolates and snacks.  I mean, really, look at that CUTE pumpkin smiling right back at you adorning that tag topper!  I chose to incorporate two new stamp sets found in the August-December 2020 Mini catalogEverything Essential and Banner Year.  Both sets have a corresponding punch bundled with them, but I chose to use them just for the images.  They compliment each other well using smaller sentiments with single images.

Using the candy wrapper as my color palette, I saw coordinating Stampin' Up! colors — Granny Apple Green, Pumpkin Pie, Cajun Craze and Whisper White.  Isn't that funny how we relate all things in the retail world to the Stampin' Up! color families?  LOVE it!  The Granny Apple Green and Plaid Tidings designer paper tag topper was created using a couple of layers of dies from the Celebration Labels Dies set.  The pumpkin image was inked with Cajun Craze, stamped onto Pumpkin Pie and die cut using the Layering Circles Dies.  To accent the shiny candy wrapper, the image is matted with a scalloped Brushed Cardstock layer with 'messy' nest of Gold Linen Thread from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo pack.

The sentiment is one of my favorites...Happy fall, y'all!  Although, I really don't talk that way in real life...only when I'm adding a pun to a conversation or spicing up a greeting with a group of friends.  :)

The fun thing about this style of treat packaging is that your recipient will see the beautiful tag BEFORE they divulge into the chocolate candies, right?!!  Haha!

Creative Inking Blog Hop — NEW Holiday Mini Catalog Highlights

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Today our amazing Creative Inking designers have created an inspiring group of projects themed as "Mini Catalog Highlights".  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Colleen Vassos' blog. Please be sure to click the 'Next' button (found below) to move along the Creative Inking blog hop to see all the beautiful projects.

This summer has flown and it's already time to start thinking about Halloween crafting.  So, I'm going to highlight a few new products that will help spook up your creativity.

CreativeInkingHop-EverythingEssentialEyeballBoxSupplies-Lori-DSC02648
 
The Everything Essential stamp set includes images that will cover a number of upcoming holidays...Halloween, Christmas, Fall, and Valentines Day.  It has been paired with an exciting new punch called the Essential Tag Punch.  This punch is so versatile...create tags, as I did with my little Treat Box.  You can also use it to layer a sentiment or use as a background accent.
 
CreativeInkingHop-EverythingEssentialEyeballBox-VeinsRibbon-Lori-DSC02644
 
Of course, every new catalog includes new patterned papers to help decorate one of our Clear Tiny Treat Boxes — Magic In This Night Designer Series Paper.  I wrapped the box with a strip measuring 1-3/4" x 8-1/2".  I'm in love with the new 1-1/2" Metallic Mesh Ribbon because the first thing I thought of when I opened it up was the appearance of eyeball veins...see how it compares to the chocolate wrapped eyeball?  Too cool!  One would think this mesh is a little stiff, but totally not the case.  I wrapped it around the treat box opposite of the designer paper and gathered at the top using 3/16" Braided Linen Trim.

To add to the 'spook' factor, I clear embossed the image with Jet Black Stazon ink and punched out using the new Essential Tag Punch.  I punched another one from the new Black Glitter Paper to act as an accent to the haunted house image.  The sentiment was clear embossed onto a scrap of Pumpkin Pie cardstock, hand cut and added to the tag with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Now, if you have ever thought about getting more for your money purchasing all of your favorite Stampin' Up! products, I highly recommend that you purchase the "Happy Shopper" Starter Kit and save 20% with each purchase.  There really isn't anything to lose...only lots of product to gain!  But, until you make that leap to join my Stampin' Up! family and fill your starter kit with new Annual catalog products.  If you wish to start creating my project, you'll find the ingredients listed below.  I've set it up super easy for you to click on any of the images and add to your shopping cart in my online store.  I would be so very grateful to you and your support for shopping with me.  Check out my Dreamers Loyalty Reward Program...I love what I do and very much appreciation YOU.  So, I pay it back and reward my loyal customers with a FREE shopping spree. You fill my cup!



 

So with one click you can be on your way to soak in some more inspiration showcasing more "Mini Catalog Highlights" creations using supplies from any of the current catalog from the rest of the group.  Your next stop on the hop will be with our very creative, Dena Rekow.  I know her creation will be fabulous...she always shares a gorgeous creation (or two) to share with everyone. Click on the 'Next' button and you'll be at your next stop.  Have fun filling your inspiration bucket...don't forget to come back real soon.  :)
