Creative Inking Blog Hop — Word Wishes Happy New Year 2021

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Are you ready to boot 2020 out the door?!!!  Me toooo!  Our amazing Creative Inking designers have a bundle of inspirational projects themed as "New Year", "Retire", and anything else that goes along with new beginnings.  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Bj Peters' 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.

I can't believe I'm going to say this, but my card share has absolutely NO rubber stamping with ink on it!  Eeeek!  I'm in love with our new Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine that I pulled out several die sets and the Dainty Diamonds Embossing folder to 'do all the talking'. 

CreativeInkingHop-Word Wishes New Year-RT-Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03804
 
When I think of New Year's, I always think of the evening to dress up with more glam and sparkle.  I love Basic Black with anything shiny...so rich looking.
 
CreativeInkingHop-Word Wishes New Year-Champagne Mist-Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03798
 
I added an extra layer of Basic Black that is an 1/8" smaller than the base and splattered some Champagne Mist all over the front using the middle sized Water Painters brush.  Just dip the tip into the ink and use the edge of the container to 'flick' the ink.  You can get close for bigger splotches, or pull away for more of a fine dusting of ink.

The Word Wishes dies are a lovely font and dainty.  I wanted them to pop off the page, so I added some Champagne Foil paper to a piece of Adhesive Foam sheet and die cut the words.  Note to self:  since the words are so dainty, it does take a little bit more patience to release them from the die. :)


CreativeInkingHop-Word Wishes New Year-Dies-Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03806-1
To bring more focus to the Word Wishes sentiment, I added a piece of Vellum cardstock that was embossed with the Dainty Diamonds Embossing Folder.  For a smidgin of color, I die cut the Stitched Stars die from Bumblebee cardstock.  To finish it off with more bling, I scattered some Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels throughout.

If you enjoyed this project, I'd love to have you join me each Sunday afternoon at 2:30P (CST) for my Sunday Stampin' Dreams facebook Live demonstrations.  To make sure you receive notifications when I post announcements, events, and creations using all my favorite Stampin' Up! products, click the "Like" and "Follow"buttons on my business page Lori Dreams Stampin'.

Stamp It Blog Hop — So Sentimental Happy New Year

Hello stampers and crafty friends! I'm so happy you have stopped by.  Welcome to our December 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 all of the great inspiration.

December2017-TeamStampItHeader

WAHOOOO!  This month's hop theme is all about the New Year!  I'm certain we can all agree on one thing...2020 is a year that NO ONE will ever forget.  It will stand out in the history books for years (and centuries) to come.

StampItHop-SoSentimentalNewYear2021-Lori-DSC03723

So, to celebrate the new year 2021 coming in, I've created a fun shaker card that starts with a Balmy Blue cardbase.  When I was looking through the catalogs for a sentiment or image to work with to create a new year card, I immediately said "That's it!" when I came across the So Sentimental stamp set.  To bring in the New Year does "call for confetti"...lots of it, too!

StampItHop-SoSentimentalNewYear2021Close-Lori-DSC03731

The shaker frame is created with 2 of the larger scalloped rectangle dies from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set.  Since these dies can nest inside each other, you can line them up on your paper and run through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine with one pass.  WOOT! 

StampItHop-SoSentimentalNewYear2021-RTFlat-Lori-DSC03733

The background patterned papers are part of the Feels Like Frost Designer Series Paper pack.  I love that one side are professional photographs converted to paper and the other side is made up of Silver/White foil patterns.  LOVE it!  The foil side ties in quite nicely with the Gold/Silver/White confetti from the Sequins for Everything pack.  Lots of glam and shine on this card.  To tie it all together, the sentiment was inked with Night of Navy Classic ink onto a strip of Balmy Blue.

Would you like to create this fantastic New Year shaker card?  I have posted the entire supply list below and made it easy for you to click on any of the images to add to your shopping cart from 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 appreciate YOU.  So, I pay it back and reward my loyal customers with a FREE shopping spree. You fill my cup!

There's a whole line-up of New Year themed projects that I'm sure will help you get a jump start on your holiday creations, so make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members blogs to see what amazing creations they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Poinsettia Petals Acetate Gift Box

Hello my stamping friends!

Only 12 days to Christmas Eve!  How are you coming along with your shopping and handmade gift-giving projects?  I've been having some fun playing with the wonderful Poinsettia Place Suite of products (August-December 2020 Mini catalog) to create several different kinds of treat & gift packaging.  The Poinsettia Petals stamp set and coordinating Poinsettia Dies is a fabulous bundle.

Poinsettia Petals 3x3 Gift Box-2- Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03673
Another product I hadn't sampled my creative ideas with, yet, are the 3-1/8" x 3-1/2" Acetate Boxes.  These are perfect for filling and giving to your office staff, neighbors, dear friends, and stocking stuffers.

Poinsettia Petals 3x3 Acetate Gift Box Inside - Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03678

The Poinsettia Place Designer Series paper is absolutely stunning.  I created a belly band for the box measuring 3" x 8-1/2".  It's fun to see one pattern on the outside of the box, but when you open it to remove the contents, you get a taste of the another pretty pattern.

Poinsettia Petals 3x3 Acetate Gift Box 2nd - Lori Stampin Dreams-DSC03674

This particular Poinsettia was die cut from one of the designer papers.  Yeppers!  There is a die from the Poinsettia dies that aligns with one of the pattern papers.  I love it when that happens!  All of the other stamped images—leaves and holly berries—also have coordinating dies.  That Read Red 3/8" Sheer Ribbon is lovely to work with and is the right embellishment to compliment the Holly Berries.  The sentiment was inked with Versa Mark and heat set with White Embossing Powder.

Poinsettia Petals 3x3 Acetate Gift Boxes Label - Lori Stampin Dreams -DSC03676

These Acetate Boxes are the perfect size to house a 3" x 3" sticky note pad and a large York Peppermint Patty.  You could stuff a set of knit gloves, several Ghirardelli Chocolates, Kind Bars, a set of stamped 3" x 3" notecards with envelopes, or any other trinkets you have in mind.

 

Want to know how this fabulous Poinsettia Acetate Gift & Card Box came together?  Here's my Facebook Live demonstration I did sharing tips and tricks on how it all went together.
