I took the one image from the Textures & Frames set and incorporated four colors found on the back of the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper pack (another freebie Sale-A-Bration item with a $50 purchase).  The image was randomly stamped to create my own fun patterned paper that I matted with Basic Black cardstock.  I layered a piece of Vellum cardstock over a piece of Penguin Playmates designer paper to tone it down so it wouldn't steal away from the main stamped background.

 

I have a young lady who has recently achieved a wonderful goal, but was too modest to share her success with others.  She's a bit quiet, so I thought this adorable sheep image from the Counting Sheep stamp set (another freebie with a $50 purchase) was perfect to help me 'quietly' recognize and congratulate her. 

 

The best part of this card is that I was able to earn the Sale-A-Bration Host stamp set, In Your Words!  It's filled with a wide variety of all occasion sentiments, including the one I inked in Memento Black and stamped onto another Textures & Frames image.  This one was inked in Soft Sea Foam and die cut using a scalloped Layering Circles Die.  Both the sentiment and sheep are set in place with Stampin' Dimensionals.

For all the details and step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun Textures & Frames Celebration card, watch the video tutorial I've created and posted on my YouTube Channel — Stampin' Dreams—Lori Mueller.

For this super fun card, I used a couple of the new 2021-2023 In Colors...Pale Papaya and Soft Succulent.  I just love how soft it looks all spread across the Very Vanilla card base.  I thought about adding some texture to the Soft Succulent layer, but really wanted the stamped Spiral Dye to be the focal point.  It was super easy to create a 2-color tie-dye result.  I used my Stamparatus as a guide of placement for the first color stamped.  Then, flip the Very Vanilla layer 180 degrees, placing it in the exact same spot.  Remember to clean your stamp before adding new ink color to stamp the 2nd time.  Comes out perfect every time!

 

 

The sentiment comes from the Color & Contour stamp set and was inked with Soft Succulent and stamped onto Very Vanilla cardstock before cutting out with the Tailor Made Tags Dies set.  I love that the dies set comes with a die that will cut out reinforcement pieces (like the old days for page dividers in a 3-ring binder) allowing you to add a coordinating color from your overall creation.

To add a little more balance to the two colors, I tied some of the new Pale Papaya 3/8" Open Weave Ribbon to the end of the Tailor Made Tags die cut.  Then added the sentiment layer to the front of the card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

It has been forever since I've made an easel card.  Interactive cards are always intriguing for the creator, as well as, the recipient.  The cardbase is Smoky Slate with a Stitched Rectangle created as a frame cut from one of the patterns from the Well Suited Designer Series Paper pack.  After creating the frame, I added a piece of Window Sheet to the back and die cut another Stitched Rectangle frame from Night of Navy cardstock to give the back a finished look from the back side.  The Window Sheet is used to help make the frame sturdy when propped up as an easel.

 

 

The cardbase front is scored at 2-3/4" before adhering the bottom half of the window frame.  The sentiment was inked with Stampin' Write Markers:  Cajun Craze, Night of Navy and Smoky Slate and die cut with the 2-5/8" Layering Circle die.  For balance, I added a 1/2" strip of Night of Navy and some Gold Thread from the Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack before adding the sentiment with Stampin' Dimensionals.

With the unprecedented situation occurring all around the world, we sure could use a little love when we open that mailbox door.  The Ornate Garden Suite of products has definitely proven to be a crowd pleaser and has delivered many smiles and warm hearts since it's early release this month.

 

This particular patterned paper from the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series paper has a bit of pink that resembles one of our 2018-2020 In Colors — Lovely Lipstick.  I'm sad that it will soon be leaving us (set to retire June 2nd), so I wanted to highlight it with one of the Ornate Layers Dies.

Sadly, I have a couple of dear friends (also members of my Lori's Dream Team) who have recently lost loved ones...not due to the current health issue, but the situation makes it really tough to mourn with family and friends.  The sentiment comes from the Ornate Thanks stamp set.  It is a perfect sentiment that can stand by itself and fall into several occasions: Thank You, Sympathy, Appreciation, etc.  I decided to snip this long stream of words apart and have it compliment the daisy image from the Ornate Style stamp set that was stamped onto a heart die cut from the Be Mine Stitched Framelits.

Everything rests upon a Vellum layer embossed with the Ornate Floral 3D Embossing Folder.  I just love how elegant this came out!  You can see all of the new Ornate Garden Suite of products HERE.

I don't think I've ever seen any stamp set that helps capture something that happens a lot in a work environment like this one.  There are sentiments that fit nicely for a co-worker's retirement, a job promotion within the company, or the frequent moving from one company to the next.  The Garden Lane Designer Series Paper has several patterns in the pack that are appropriate (I think, at least) to create a masculine cards — not just feminine.  I'm a huge fan of the designs in this pack!

Fancy-fold cards always make a great conversation piece for the recipient and those attending the farewell party.  They can really make the occasion extra special, too.  The card measures 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", but is scored at 2-1/4" and 7-3/4" allowing it to still fit into a regular A2 sized envelope.  The Mint Macaron Nature's Twine is a carryover from the previous catalog, but it is still a favorite of mine to add to my creations.

That's right!  For starter's, when I first saw all of the beautiful floral patterns in the Perennial Essence pack, I thought "No waaaay" can I cut into those beautiful bouquets.  They are way too pretty to cut...they need to be framed all by themselves in a 12 x 12 picture frame and hung on the wall.  Well, you can do that, too, but I'm going to share with you how gorgeous they are made into a set of notecards.

I have been finding myself steering towards the Notecard and Envelope packs that are offered in the Annual catalog for quite a number of projects.  They are perfect for notecards, customer Thank You's, creating a bundle of all occasions and giving as a gift, and the list goes on.

The notecards measure 3-1/2" x 5", so it made it easy to cut each pattern of the Perennial Essence designer paper into 3" strips. Then, each strip gave me two 4-1/2" pieces, leaving me with a 3" x 3" square.  I decided to cut this in 1/2 so that I had two 1-1/2" x 3" strips that I would flip to show off the pattern on the back side.  There are so many coordinating colors that go with this paper making it easy to choose a coordinating matte layer of cardstock to go with the larger patterned pieces.  With one sheet of designer paper, you can get 8 notecards!  SCORE!!

 

I love the new Timeless Label Punch because of it's subtle rounded ends and the ability to coordinate it with one of the Layering Ovals dies.  The sentiment comes from the Welcome To The Team stamp set, but you can use a variety of sentiments from your collection of stamp sets to create a bundle of All Occasions cards...get well, sympathy, thinking of you, happy birthday, etc.  I left the remaining 5 notecards sentiment-less so that when needed, I can stamp an appropriate sentiment that goes with the occasion.  Pretty cool, huh?!!

Now, I hope you will run to your craft space and go CHOP your favorite designer series papers!  It's okay to LOVE them — but it's important that you use them, too — don't let the dusty bunnies take them over.  LOL!  You'll find the ingredients listed below, and 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.

So, that brings me to the Daisy Lane stamp set.  I have been having so much fun playing with this set AND the new coordinating Medium Daisy punch that is available in the new Annual catalog.

As part of the registration for the retreat, each guest get the supplies to create one Make-n-Take project.  I love the Whisper White Notecards and Envelopes because they render a clean and simple card project.  Now, mind you, clean and simple is not an easy task for me, but this little purple gem came spewing out of my head and made fast action with the Daisy Lane stamps, paper and Gorgeous Grape and Garden Green inks.  Soooo CAHOOOOT!  Even though purple is the color recognized for Alzheimers, this card layout and design can be duplicated in almost every single color that Stampin' Up! has to offer.  Exciting, isn't it?!!
