Stamp It Blog Hop — New Stampin' Up! Catalog Favorites

Hello stampers and crafty friends! The fun never ends for papercrafters, especially when It's time for the July 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. Please be sure to click the blog next in line to move along the hop and not miss a beat.

I can't believe that it's already been over 7 weeks since the new Annual catalog went live!  There are sooo many awesome stamps, paper and new inks to play with, which is the theme for this month's hop...to play and share with some of our favorites.  I decided to pull out a new stamp set called "Welcome To The Team" because of it's fun and whimsical sentiments. 

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.

 

Would you like to create this fancy-fold card using my favorites that are in the new Annual catalog?  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. You fill my cup!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop — On My Mind

Hello Stampers and Papercrafters! and, welcome to our monthly A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!!   My name is Lori Mueller and I'm part of a team of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world that have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the July Paper Pumpkin kit.This month's kit is inspired by THREE different product suites found in the Annual catalog:  Come Sail Away, Woven Threads and Garden Love.  Based on these wonderful kit projects, I couldn't tell you which one is my favorite.  Although, I will admit the Woven Threads Designer Series Paper is my ultimate favorite pack, right now.  The rustic colors and scratchy, aztech-y (totally made up that word) patterns really speak to me.

Every month, the kits include enough supplies to create the designed projects. And, that is what I primarily focus on using on my alternate projects to share with you, but this month, I was more drawn to using only the stamp set.  I loved the designed card projects in the kit that I did not want to chop up any of the card bases, envelopes, or steal the dies and embellishments to create an alternative.

I love to create the non-typical sized card.  Yes, I have to be different, but if truth be told, I had a piece of Sahara Sand cardstock that was in my scrap folder measuring 8-1/2" x 4-1/4" — perfect for a square card!

 

I'm certain the stamp set included in the kit is going to get a lot of attention from me to create a variety of cards.  I mean, look at those lovely sentiments!  Very versatile and has "all occasion" written all over them. :)  A definite keeper, plus, a bonus from the kits — you build a small collection of stamp sets and ink spots that doesn't break the bank and will give you endless hours of creations.

The instructions sheet that comes in the kit always lists the coordinating colors that go with the included supplies.  Since the cards were featuring three different product suites, there were a lot of colors to choose from, but I managed to narrow down to Terracotta Tile, Mint Macaron, and Seaside Spray to stamp the medallion.  Someone might ask if I used the Stamparatus to stamp the medallion image so evenly...my answer would be 'not this time'.  Since the stamp sets are photopolymer, I felt pretty comfortable stamping the image with my old eyeballs and a pair of 'cheater' glasses.  LOL!

On My Mind Dove Candy Holder

I'm on a mission to use up some Sahara Sand cardstock scraps, so this 1-1/2" x 4-3/4" strip was my inspiration to hold a nice piece of Dove chocolate.  I scored it at 2-1/8 and 2-5/8" and fancied up the top using the Delightful Tag Topper punch.

WANT A SNEAK-PEEK FOR THE AUGUST KIT?

 

What’s the old saying? Variety is the spice of life? At Paper Pumpkin, we like to mix things up and keep your crafting experience fresh and fun. We plan each kit carefully, allowing you to check as many creative boxes as possible while keeping our projects simple—so you can explore the world of papercrafting with confidence. With this in mind, we are bringing an elegant fall gift packaging kit to Paper Pumpkin fans this August.

Now, it’s no secret that subscribers love cardmaking. So when we offer treat or gift packaging, you (and me!) generally like to make a few card alternates with the kit. That’s why THIS month we decided to bring you the best of both worlds with the Gift of Fall Add-On Bundle. This coordinating product will allow you to turn your Gift of Fall gift packaging into cards in an easy and inexpensive way.

Don’t miss it, subscribe by July 10! You won’t want to miss this kit! ...subscribe with me today! 

 

In addition to providing everything you need to make a pre-designed, all-inclusive project, we also have another goal in mind: to help you unlock and explore your creativity by introducing you to exciting and innovative products from Stampin’ Up!

 

 

How do I know if Paper Pumpkin is right for me?

If you can answer "Yes" to any of these questions, then Paper Pumpkin is the perfect solution for you!

• I want a creative escape but I don’t have a lot of time.
• I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to papercrafting, but I want to try it.
• I love to create but I don’t always feel creative.
• I need some fresh project ideas.
• How can I craft when I don’t have all the “crafting stuff” I need?

Go ahead....give it a 3-month, 6-month or 12-month test drive and get in on all the FUN!!  If you end up not enjoying it (GASP!!), you can cancel your subscription.  But, I'm sure you will be very happy and excited to see what the next month will bring you.  Trust me!  I've been a subscriber for almost 5 years and I get anxious to receive my little orange box in the mail near the middle of each month.  **squeal**

Stamp It Blog Hop — A Good Man Father's Day

Hello my stamper and craftyfriends!  Welcome to your next stop on the May Stamp It Bog Hop. If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me Lori Mueller, Stampin' Dreams. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

I'm excited to share with you a mix of wonderful Stampin' Up! products that showcases a sneak peek of a new stamp set (A Good Man) tied with a retiring Designer Series paper (Best Route). The layout is a clean and simple one facilitating the colors of Gray Granite and Night of Navy...both are feature colors in the designer paper pack.

I love the silhouette image of the man holding a child and couldn't bare to color it, so I brought in color with one of the patterns from the Best Route designer paper pack.  It was just the right amount, I think. 

The sentiment stamped in Night of Navy could really portray a number of occasions to give to the special man in mind...Father's Day, Birthday, or Promotion/Congratulations.

COOL TIP WITH PAPERS — I love to use up scraps.  The matted Gray Granite layer to the image and the thin strip of Night of Navy Best Route designer paper were both in my scrap bag, but ended up complimenting the layout.  To give a finished look to any papers or layers that meet up, think about using a thin strip of cardstock to overlay or, in this case, wrap some Night of Navy Medium Baker's Twine around that section.

If you are needing any stamping supplies and want to know what supplies I have used to create my note cards, I've listed all of the ingredients at the bottom of this post.  Click on any of the items and you'll be directed to my online store and add any of them to your shopping cart.  I am so grateful to your and your support for choosing me as your Stampin' Up! demonstrator.

For more Father's Day related inspiration, you'll want to 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.

*BLOG HOP LIST

 

OSAT Blog Hop — Bring On The Birthday Cheer

Hello stampers and paper crafters!  My name is Lori Mueller (stampindreams.com) and I want to welcome you to my blog and the March One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

This month's theme is "Bring On The Birthday", and it couldn't have been any better timing for me.  My husband and I have a good sized set of friends that have been together for over 30 years, and we are all getting to that 'golden' age in life.  You know the ones — they always have a big fat "0" as the 2nd digit!  haha!

To calm the anxiety of our friends recently celebrating the big 6-0, I thought I would add a little fun Birthday Cheer. So far, it is the men/husbands who are reaching this ripe age, and I wanted to have the card a bit larger than the traditional 4-1/4" x 5-1/2", so that there was enough space for everyone to write a note and sign.  So, I pulled out one of the cards from the Happiness Blooms Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack.  The larger sized card base when folded measures 4-1/4" x 6-1/4"; and the Night of Navy base was perfect to help show off all of the Gold Foil and Basic Black layers.  Oh, and it lends itself as more masculine, too. *grin*

The Detailed Birthday Edgelits Dies is so cute and can dress up a birthday card for any age.  To really drive the "golden age" home, I added a large Scallop Circle to the sentiment layer and pieces of Gold Foil paper attached to the back of each present.

To add a subtle glam and to tone down the Night of Navy cardbase, I embossed a piece of Vellum cardstock with the Softly Falling Textured Embossing Folder.  I think it really fit in with the numbers that were hand cut from one of the patterns of paper found in the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.  Overall, I think it turned out spectacular, don't you think?

Coordinating Birthday Cheer Treat Box

No golden celebration can go unnoticed without a little bit of Nebraska-native Melt Away chocolates wrapped in a shiny gold foil!!  I love dressing up our little acetate Clear Tiny Treat Boxes.  They make a perfect gift ensemble for any occasion — even for the men in our lives who are turning 60!  teehehe

 

---

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next OSAT designers blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know they will have something fun and exciting to share with you.  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can click your way through the blog list found below.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

Blog Hop Participants

 

I'm so very grateful; and I'm not sure I can say thank you enough to everyone that stops to visit me.  I love the visits and wonderful thoughts you share with your comments.  If you've ever purchased a stamp set, dies, paper, ink, embellishments, etc. from m online shop, I literally did a little happy dance with your order came in.  And, if you've ever shared a card or other bit of handmade kindness using Stampin' Up! products, my heart leaps for joy.  I appreciate you and all of your wonderful support of my favorite stamping business.  If you haven't already, please share and invite your friends to stop by, too.  Oh, and subscribe to my blog so that you don't miss a single post.  I can't express how very passionate I am to share my love for papercrafting with you. If you are a new visiting crafter looking for a demonstrator to shop with, I would be ecstatic and honored to be your creative coach.

The Detailed Birthday Edgelits Dies is so cute and can dress up a birthday card for any age.  To really drive the "golden age" home, I added a large Scallop Circle to the sentiment layer and pieces of Gold Foil paper attached to the back of each present.

To add a subtle glam and to tone down the Night of Navy cardbase, I embossed a piece of Vellum cardstock with the Softly Falling Textured Embossing Folder.  I think it really fit in with the numbers that were hand cut from one of the patterns of paper found in the Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper pack.  Overall, I think it turned out spectacular, don't you think?

Farmhouse Merry Christmas November Tutorial Design Team Blog Hop

Hello stampers and crafters!!  Welcome to the All Star Tutorial Bundle Blog Hop for September! You are joining during the round of tutorials (August–January). This team brings to you a "super bundle" of 12 tutorials using only Stampin' Up! products.  There are amazing projects in this bundle that range from traditional-style cards, fancy fold, 3D giftables and various techniques!  We each offer this in our own business for free with a minimum order, as well as, a stand alone PDF purchase.

Here are the sneak peeks...it's loaded with fun and excitement and something you don't want to miss out on. 

Each month's tutorial bundle is based on currently available supplies from Stampin’ Up! and lists both metric and imperial measurements. So whether you are a cms or inches person, we’ve got you covered!  Make sure to look for the full details at the bottom of this post.

I'm super excited about my extra project this month because it is showcasing the Festive Farmhouse Suite of products — the Farmhouse Christmas stamp set and coordinating Farmhouse Framelits Dies.  All wrapped around a wooden crate die cut from the Wood Crate Framelits.  Since I can only show you a sneak peek of the project I created in the actual November Tutorial Bundle PDF, I'm sharing a 2nd project I made especially for this blog hop using most of the same products. It’s different from the project in the Tutorial Bundle as they are exclusive and you won’t see them anywhere else!

My quest to get lots of handmade goodies made for the various Fall and Christmas craft and vendor fairs...treat boxes and packages are always a big hit...especially, when I fill them with chocolate!   I'm in LOVE with each pattern found in the Festive Farmhouse Designer Series Paper pack...the various plaid patterns are spot on gorgeous!

The crate measures 3-1/4" wide, 1-3/4" tall, and 1-1/2" deep...just large enough to hold a 2-pack of Oreo cookies.  YUM!!  It would be perfect to hold other candies, a piece of jewelry, or the teenagers most beloved 'cold hard cash'.  LOL!

I'm into vintage and antiques and the Galvanized Buttons are super cute!!  Thread some Cherry Cobbler Bakers Twine, tie in a bow, and set into place using glue dots.  This button works perfectly to hold the box lid closed.  Look at those CUTE little bows!!  Die cut from Galvanized Metallic paper to coordinate with the button.  I would venture to say this little box will be a keeper once the cookies or candy has been devoured.  haha!

The Tutorial Bundles are based on currently available supplies from Stampin' Up! and include both Imperial (inches) and Metric measurements.  Soooo, no matter where you live in the world, you can purchase the tutorial and will be able to create the projects.

OSAT Blog Hop — I Need to Thank a Hero

 

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog and the September One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

This month's theme is "I Need a Hero".  Now this could be a teacher, nurse, doctor, military, police, etc.  My family has members in the military, medical field, and on the police force.  Since the anniversary of the devastating 9-11 tragedy, I decided to focus my card towards the American Flag — the good Red, White and Blue.  Soooo many heros pulled together and pooled their skills and undivided attention to help with the situation handed to them. 

 

I found this image of the American flag as my creative inspiration.  There was something about the background that really stood out for me.

 

To mimic the background, I thought Gray Granite cardstock was a nice hued neutral...not too light and not too dark. 

 

It has been a while since I've played with the various Embossing Pastes and Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  To emulate the flag, I washed some Night of Navy ink using the Aqua Painter...let it dry, then created 'stars' smearing some of the Shimmery White Embossing Paste over one of the Decorative Masks.  The stripes were made using the regular Embossing Paste, which is white to start with.  Simply mix in Real Red Reinker to a small scoop of paste and you have red stripes!

Silver and Whisper White Baker's Twine compliments the sparkle from the Shimmery White stars.  The sentiment comes from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set...perfect for all Hero's...they truly GIVE of themselves to help, care and save others!  I hope you enjoyed my tribute card to all of the Hero's near and far.

 

---

Thank our Hero's Candy Sleeve

It only seemed fitting that I fill a 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag with Red, White & Blue M&M's and add a tag to compliment the Thank You card I shared above.  The Stitched Oval Framelit was die cut from Gray Granite and matted with a Night of Navy Layering Scalloped Oval.

Blog Hop Participants

I'm so very grateful; and I'm not sure I can say thank you enough to everyone that stops to visit me.  I love the visits and wonderful thoughts you share with your comments.  If you've ever purchased a stamp set, dies, paper, ink, embellishments, etc. from m online shop, I literally did a little happy dance with your order came in.  And, if you've ever shared a card or other bit of handmade kindness using Stampin' Up! products, my heart leaps for joy.  I appreciate you and all of your wonderful support of my favorite stamping business.  If you haven't already, please share and invite your friends to stop by, too.  Oh, and subscribe to my blog so that you don't miss a single post.  I can't express how very passionate I am to share my love for papercrafting with you. If you are a new visiting crafter looking for a demonstrator to shop with, I would be ecstatic and honored to be your creative coach.

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog and the September One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

This month's theme is "I Need a Hero".  Now this could be a teacher, nurse, doctor, military, police, etc.  My family has members in the military, medical field, and on the police force.  Since the anniversary of the devastating 9-11 tragedy, I decided to focus my card towards the American Flag — the good Red, White and Blue.  Soooo many heros pulled together and pooled their skills and undivided attention to help with the situation handed to them. 

 

I found this image of the American flag as my creative inspiration.  There was something about the background that really stood out for me.

 

To mimic the background, I thought Gray Granite cardstock was a nice hued neutral...not too light and not too dark. 

 

It has been a while since I've played with the various Embossing Pastes and Pattern Party Decorative Masks.  To emulate the flag, I washed some Night of Navy ink using the Aqua Painter...let it dry, then created 'stars' smearing some of the Shimmery White Embossing Paste over one of the Decorative Masks.  The stripes were made using the regular Embossing Paste, which is white to start with.  Simply mix in Real Red Reinker to a small scoop of paste and you have red stripes!

Silver and Whisper White Baker's Twine compliments the sparkle from the Shimmery White stars.  The sentiment comes from the Thankful Thoughts stamp set...perfect for all Hero's...they truly GIVE of themselves to help, care and save others!  I hope you enjoyed my tribute card to all of the Hero's near and far.

Thank our Hero's Candy Sleeve

It only seemed fitting that I fill a 2" x 8" Cellophane Bag with Red, White & Blue M&M's and add a tag to compliment the Thank You card I shared above.  The Stitched Oval Framelit was die cut from Gray Granite and matted with a Night of Navy Layering Scalloped Oval.

OSAT Blog Hop — Creature Comforts with an Animal Outing Expedition

 

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog!  I'm so excited for you to hop along the July One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This month's theme is "Creature Comforts".  Hmmm...so, what does that mean?  Well, I took it for the word "creature" and pulled out my Animal Outing stamp set and coordinating Animal Friends Thinlits dies.  That works, right?!!  Well, let's check it out.

This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

I've been seeing this layout and technique a lot throughout the internet world, but I've only seen it with two raised panels, not three!!  Of course, I had to do something different and outside the box.  I took one look at those gators giving each other the googlie eyes that I couldn't help but pair them up with the "wild about you" sentiment!

These adorable gators come from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  And, if you haven't heard, there is an awesome sale going on right now...Buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper, Get 1 FREE!!  Guess what?!!  Animal Expedition Designer Series paper is part of this promotion!  YAY!

Two of the colors of cardstock that coordinate with the Animal Expedition paper pack are Call Me Clover and Poppy Parade, which have been embossed with two different embossing folders...Petal Burst and Layered Leaves Dynamic Texture Impressions folder.  They were lined with the new Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon to add a little fun compliment.  Add Stampin' Dimensionals to these layers and set into place leaving space for the fun patterns of designer series paper.  CUTE!!

Animal Outing Pencil Sleeve

I found some pencils at the Dollar Tree that, in my opinion, really matched up well with our Lemon Lime Twist...so, I bought them!  Haha!!  I thought it would be kind of fun to create a little sleeve holder made from one of the patterned sheets of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to hold them. 

With school starting back up in our area in about 4-5 weeks, I think these would be wonderful meet-n-greet teacher gifts.  Who can resist that cute little gator and bird?  Too cute!

Hello-Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog!  I'm so excited for you to hop along the July One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  This month's theme is "Creature Comforts".  Hmmm...so, what does that mean?  Well, I took it for the word "creature" and pulled out my Animal Outing stamp set and coordinating Animal Friends Thinlits dies.  That works, right?!!  Well, let's check it out.

This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from the previous OSAT designer. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.

I've been seeing this layout and technique a lot throughout the internet world, but I've only seen it with two raised panels, not three!!  Of course, I had to do something different and outside the box.  I took one look at those gators giving each other the googlie eyes that I couldn't help but pair them up with the "wild about you" sentiment!

These adorable gators come from the Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper.  And, if you haven't heard, there is an awesome sale going on right now...Buy 3 packs of Designer Series Paper, Get 1 FREE!!  Guess what?!!  Animal Expedition Designer Series paper is part of this promotion!  YAY!

Two of the colors of cardstock that coordinate with the Animal Expedition paper pack are Call Me Clover and Poppy Parade, which have been embossed with two different embossing folders...Petal Burst and Layered Leaves Dynamic Texture Impressions folder.  They were lined with the new Lemon Lime Twist 3/8" Mini Ruffled Ribbon to add a little fun compliment.  Add Stampin' Dimensionals to these layers and set into place leaving space for the fun patterns of designer series paper.  CUTE!!

Animal Outing Pencil Sleeve

I found some pencils at the Dollar Tree that, in my opinion, really matched up well with our Lemon Lime Twist...so, I bought them!  Haha!!  I thought it would be kind of fun to create a little sleeve holder made from one of the patterned sheets of Animal Expedition Designer Series Paper to hold them. 

With school starting back up in our area in about 4-5 weeks, I think these would be wonderful meet-n-greet teacher gifts.  Who can resist that cute little gator and bird?  Too cute!

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next OSAT designers blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know they will have something fun and exciting to share with you.  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can click your way through the blog list found below.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

Blog Hop Participants

I'm so very grateful; and I'm not sure I can say thank you enough to everyone that stops to visit me.  I love the visits and wonderful thoughts you share with your comments.  If you've ever purchased a stamp set, dies, paper, ink, embellishments, etc. from m online shop, I literally did a little happy dance with your order came in.  And, if you've ever shared a card or other bit of handmade kindness using Stampin' Up! products, my heart leaps for joy.  I appreciate you and all of your wonderful support of my favorite stamping business.  If you haven't already, please share and invite your friends to stop by, too.  Oh, and subscribe to my blog so that you don't miss a single post.  I can't express how very passionate I am to share my love for papercrafting with you. If you are a new visiting crafter looking for a demonstrator to shop with, I would be ecstatic and honored to be your creative coach.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop -- Manly Moments

Hello and welcome Stampers and Papercrafters!  It is the last day in May...yikes! but we have a really fun A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop to share with you!!  YAY! A number of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the May monthly kit named "Manly Moments".  I'm super excited to share the projects I created for you....let's get to it, shall we!

Do you struggle creating "Manly" cards?  Yep, I do, too!  Buuut, I'm so excited to see my Paper Pumpkin kit arrive filled with the supplies to create 10 masculine cards ranging from birthday to thank you...and, including nephews and brothers.

 

Another thing I struggle with is creating clean and simple cards...this entire kit is just that.  But, of course, when I create to showcase an alternative card, I have to kick it up a notch...or two.  :)  I started with a traditional cardstock base of 4-1/4" x 11', but scoring it at 4-1/4" and 8-1/2" is not our typical card style.

I took one of the cardbases from the kit and cut the wood grain and plaid sections off of the card base so that I could use the pieces to decorate and create a really fun pocket card.

 

The front pocket can house the woodgrain notecard, but there are so many different items you can tuck into pocket cards:  bookmarks, magnets, tags, gift cards, and personalized notes.

 

Cute Thank You Tag

You are not probably going to believe this, but this little tag is made up of scraps that were laying around my craft counter.  **squeal**  I inked the "thank you" image in Mossy Meadow and stamped first and 2nd renditions onto the scrap stitched shape circle.  The woodgrain strip is from the pocket notecard that I trimmed down.  Super cute, right?!!

 

 

I'm really pleased with how these projects came together...clean and simple!  The pocket card can be for any occasion, too...birthday, anniversary, etc.  Gotta love the creations that are designed to accommodate more than one occasion.  :)

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Country Livin' Father's Day

Hello and welcome stampers and paper crafters!  I'm so happy that you have stopped by and have jumped on board the May Stamp It Bog Hop.  Because we are nearing the end of May and the next special occasion is only a few weeks away, this month's theme is focusing on Father's Day.  YAY!!  I know that masculine cards can be a struggle for most...including myself, but I've had it in my dreams for a while now what special handmade card I was planning to create.  Let's get mozy-ing along!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

So, can you believe that I hee-hawed around for almost a year eye-balling this stamp set...Country Livin'?  Every time I saw that set, or a customer or friend would point out this stamp set in the catalog, I always thought of my Dad when I would see the pickup image.  Now, granted I colored this image using a new color, Merry Merlot, but when I was really little, we used to own one of these pickups.  Ours was a really pretty blue.  I didn't watercolor this one blue because I was afraid it might clash with the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

Do you spy some new papers?  and, perhaps, a new stamp set?  Teehehe!  Well, then, you have a pretty good eye!  I love that I get to preorder certain new products before the whole catalog goes live.  The rest of the patterns found in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper are just as wonderful, too.  I immediately fell in love with the stamp set "Itty Bitty Greetings" the minute I laid my eyes on it when we got the new catalog during OnStage in April!  **squeal**  I'm sure you will, too!

 

For more Father's Day themed inspiration, make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Hello and welcome stampers and paper crafters!  I'm so happy that you have stopped by and have jumped on board the May Stamp It Bog Hop.  Because we are nearing the end of May and the next special occasion is only a few weeks away, this month's theme is focusing on Father's Day.  YAY!!  I know that masculine cards can be a struggle for most...including myself, but I've had it in my dreams for a while now what special handmade card I was planning to create.  Let's get mozy-ing along!

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

So, can you believe that I hee-hawed around for almost a year eye-balling this stamp set...Country Livin'?  Every time I saw that set, or a customer or friend would point out this stamp set in the catalog, I always thought of my Dad when I would see the pickup image.  Now, granted I colored this image using a new color, Merry Merlot, but when I was really little, we used to own one of these pickups.  Ours was a really pretty blue.  I didn't watercolor this one blue because I was afraid it might clash with the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

Do you spy some new papers?  and, perhaps, a new stamp set?  Teehehe!  Well, then, you have a pretty good eye!  I love that I get to preorder certain new products before the whole catalog goes live.  The rest of the patterns found in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper are just as wonderful, too.  I immediately fell in love with the stamp set "Itty Bitty Greetings" the minute I laid my eyes on it when we got the new catalog during OnStage in April!  **squeal**  I'm sure you will, too!

 

For more Father's Day themed inspiration, make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, or, if this is your very first stop, I want to thank you so much for stopping to visit me. If you like to skip and hop and happen to get off track, the full blog lineup below will help you move along from blog to blog so you see all of the amazing creations.

So, can you believe that I hee-hawed around for almost a year eye-balling this stamp set...Country Livin'?  Every time I saw that set, or a customer or friend would point out this stamp set in the catalog, I always thought of my Dad when I would see the pickup image.  Now, granted I colored this image using a new color, Merry Merlot, but when I was really little, we used to own one of these pickups.  Ours was a really pretty blue.  I didn't watercolor this one blue because I was afraid it might clash with the Mint Macaron and Tranquil Tide.

Do you spy some new papers?  and, perhaps, a new stamp set?  Teehehe!  Well, then, you have a pretty good eye!  I love that I get to preorder certain new products before the whole catalog goes live.  The rest of the patterns found in the Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper are just as wonderful, too.  I immediately fell in love with the stamp set "Itty Bitty Greetings" the minute I laid my eyes on it when we got the new catalog during OnStage in April!  **squeal**  I'm sure you will, too!

 

For more Father's Day themed inspiration, make sure you hop on over to the next Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thank you so much for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Stampin' Friends Blog Hop -- No Rules in March

 

Good morning to everyone!  Welcome to my stop on the Stampin Friends Blog Hop!  I am excited about this months stamping theme...No Rules!!  WHOOPEEEEE!  That's like eating as many sweets as your stomach can consume (without all the added calories, I might add!)  We are given free reign...totally our choice...stamp/craft anything we want!!  I can't tell you how this made my heart go pitter-patter only because these last few weeks I have struggled to find my creative MOJO juice.  If this is your first stop on the Stampin Friends Blog Hop or you arrived here from one of the other Stampin Friends bloggers, I'm excited to share with you.

Sooo, with No Rules comes the perfect opportunity to CASE (Copy and Share Everything) someone else's creation.  Or, at least gain inspiration from a card that moves me and incorporate my own tweaking of colors, designer series paper, or stamped images

 

First up, is a clean-and-simple greeting card showing off one of the patterns from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.  You can choose this 12" x 12" pack free with a $50 product order during Sale-A-Bration...hurry, this most-favored event ends March 31st!

Creative Tips:

• The inspiration for this creation stems from a sample card pictured in the 2nd Sale-A-Bration release brochure.  I used the same Dapper Denim cardstock and striped pattern from the Springtime Foils Specialty paper, but I changed up the focal arrangement.

 

• To compliment the Dapper Denim cardbase and add a bit of character, I added a piece of Color Theory Designer Series Paper and banner cut the bottom end.  The sentiment comes from the Truly Tailored stamp set inked with Archival Basic Black ink and stamped onto our Shimmery White cardstock.  LOVE that paper!  You can't see in the picture, but it really compliments the Silver Foil stripes.  Add some Silver Metallic Thread to the Stitched Oval and set into place.

 

Acetate Gift Box for Dad:  I am so thrilled that the Acetate Gift Boxes from the last Holiday catalog are still available for purchase.  I cut one in half and decorated it with a belly-band using a strip of the striped Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series paper layered onto strips of the Color Theory Designer Series paper.  The focal point is using elements and design to compliment the card.  Filled it with some Sweet Soirée Ready Shreddie available in the Occasions catalog and will tuck some sweets and gift card to make it complete and ready to gift.  Super easy and oh-so adorbs!!

 

• DID YOU KNOW? that you can click on any images I include related to the project to see an enlarged version?  Yep!  I do this so that you can see the details of my projects a weeee bit better. As I get older, I'm finding myself pulling out what I call my "granny glasses".  haha

First up, is a clean-and-simple greeting card showing off one of the patterns from the Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series Paper.  You can choose this 12" x 12" pack free with a $50 product order during Sale-A-Bration...hurry, this most-favored event ends March 31st!

Creative Tips:

• The inspiration for this creation stems from a sample card pictured in the 2nd Sale-A-Bration release brochure.  I used the same Dapper Denim cardstock and striped pattern from the Springtime Foils Specialty paper, but I changed up the focal arrangement.

 

• To compliment the Dapper Denim cardbase and add a bit of character, I added a piece of Color Theory Designer Series Paper and banner cut the bottom end.  The sentiment comes from the Truly Tailored stamp set inked with Archival Basic Black ink and stamped onto our Shimmery White cardstock.  LOVE that paper!  You can't see in the picture, but it really compliments the Silver Foil stripes.  Add some Silver Metallic Thread to the Stitched Oval and set into place.

 

Acetate Gift Box for Dad:  I am so thrilled that the Acetate Gift Boxes from the last Holiday catalog are still available for purchase.  I cut one in half and decorated it with a belly-band using a strip of the striped Springtime Foils Specialty Designer Series paper layered onto strips of the Color Theory Designer Series paper.  The focal point is using elements and design to compliment the card.  Filled it with some Sweet Soirée Ready Shreddie available in the Occasions catalog and will tuck some sweets and gift card to make it complete and ready to gift.  Super easy and oh-so adorbs!!

 

• DID YOU KNOW? that you can click on any images I include related to the project to see an enlarged version?  Yep!  I do this so that you can see the details of my projects a weeee bit better. As I get older, I'm finding myself pulling out what I call my "granny glasses".  haha

IT'S SALE-A-BRATION TIME!!

 

Sale-A-Bration is under way and is, by far, the “most wonderful time of the year,” and not just because of the holidays.  Have you received your copy of the new Occasions and Sale-A-Bration catalogs?  If not, you need them!

 

Can you believe it??  Only a few weeks remain! More free items have been added and are available now with a qualifying order during Sale-A-Bration.

 

IMPORTANT NOTE:  With the newly released items, you must use the Item numbers posted in this flyer if you are selecting as your FREE Sale-A-Bration Reward.  If you enter the item numbers from either of the current catalogs, you will be charged for the product item.

 

 

 

 

Need an idea?  Start with my Truly Tailored card and Acetate Gift Box projects:

 

 

For every $50 you spend, you’ll receive a free Sale-A-Bration product. For anyone who has enjoyed Sale-A-Bration in the past, there is a new reward level, giving you more flexibility and options for your free items.

Let’s break it down:

• If you spend $50, you get one free level 1 product.
• If you spend $100, you get one free level 2 product, OR, you can choose two level 1 items.
• If you spend $150, you have the option to choose three level 1 items or one level 1 item and one level 2 item.

This new option allows everyone to create a personalized Sale-A-Bration experience!  **squeal**

How do I know if Paper Pumpkin is right for me?

If you can answer "Yes" to any of these questions, then Paper Pumpkin is the perfect solution for you!

• I want a creative escape but I don’t have a lot of time.
• I’m not sure I’m ready to commit to papercrafting, but I want to try it.
• I love to create but I don’t always feel creative.
• I need some fresh project ideas.
• How can I craft when I don’t have all the “crafting stuff” I need?

Go ahead....give it a test drive for a couple of months and get in on all the FUN!!  Plus, get it on sale for HALF the price!  If you end up not enjoying it (GASP!!), you can cancel your subscription.  But, I'm sure you will be very happy and excited to see what the next month will bring you.  Trust me!  I've been a subscriber for all 5 years and I get anxious to receive my little orange box in the mail near the middle of each month.  **squeal**
