Hello stamping friends!  Welcome to my creative share with the A Paper Pumpkin Thing (APPT) blog hop group!  Our creative crew is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are collaborating to create alternate projects using the supplies (plus, additional supplies) that come with our monthly Paper Pumpkin kits.  Each month, my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and members of my Stampin' Up! family (Lori's Dream Team) receive exclusive tutorials to beautiful alternate projects.  The creative fun should never stop with just the designs that come in each box! *wink-wink*

EXPLORING IN COLOR

This month's blog hop is working with the Exploring In Color (May 2023) Paper Pumpkin kit.  It contains the supplies to make nine masculine/adventurous cards that bring the colors and images of the great outdoors to your crafting. It features cards in our brand-new 2023–2025 In Colors.  Once the supplies are used up to create those cards, I can now focus on creating this fantastic birthday card using extra supplies within the kit and additional supplies and tools from my own stash.

For me, it's not always easy to create a masculine card, but I'm pretty impressed that I used only the supplies that came in the kit with exception of two cardstock colors (Copper Clay and Pebbled Path) and Basic White cardstock.  I can always come up with a card design, but to avoid adding too much bling is a real problem for me.

I took one of the original card bases and cut them in half.  These bases have the adventurous landscape scenery printed across the whole 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 piece, so it's easy to make multiple cards from one base.  From there, I cut off 3/4" from each side of the chosen half; and, then shorted to 5" to adhere to the Pebbled Path cardstock matte layer that measures 3-7/8" x 5-1/8".  The new card base is a single piece measuring at 4-1/4 x 5-1/2...no scoring or folds...just a single layer.

The center piece measures 5-3/8" x 2-3/8", scored at 3/8" at the top.  This is so I can hide that little bit with a piece of Basic White cardstock at the same size to adhere between the two strips.  Performing a bit of masking with the sentiment, it was inked with Copper Clay and stamped onto an extra label piece that came with the kit.  The mug image was stamped with Copper Clay, hand cut and popped up with dimensionals.  Added a bit of Linen Thread and planted to the center piece with more dimensionals.  Super easy and looks amazing!

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next A Paper Pumpkin Thing designers blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know they will have something fun, beautiful 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 any of the wonderful inspiration!

Hello Friends!!  I've been looking through the Last Chance List to see what is still available to purchase; and, much to my surprise, I found some wonderful products with great discounts still on the shelves!  I can't believe the fun and vibrant Tea Boutique Cards & Envelopes and Tea Boutique Designer Series Paper packs haven't sold out by now. They show off the bold and vibrant 2022-2024 In Colors (Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet, Parakeet Party, Starry Sky and Tahitian Tide). You get 20 card bases with coordinating envelopes for a whopping $4.00!!  That's $.20 per card!  The designer paper is on sale for $8.20...a steal of a deal!

So, I'm here today with a fun project share that showcases a fun and easy Tiling Technique.  I showed how to put these together during my Sunday Stampin' Dreams Facebook Live on April 23, 2023.  Look for the video and link at the bottom of this post.  If you need to purchase any of the supplies, I've listed them at the bottom, too.  I highly suggest you place an order quick because I guarantee that you'll want to grab these sale items before they disappear for good. 

I started out selecting 5 different patterned papers from the Tea Boutique pack that coordinated with the 5 card bases.  From there, I pulled a coordinating cardstock color from each patterned paper to use as the matte layer and Love For You Dies. I die cut the center to create a frame using the Stitched Rectangle Dies...the one that measures 3-1/8" x 2-3/4".  This set of dies is also on the Last Chance List.  I literally shed a tear because this set of dies has been one of my go-to sets.  Love-Love-Love them!  I filled in the center with a piece of Vellum cardstock to tone down the card front so it wouldn't overwhelm and steal away from the focal center I was adding.

This one is the Sweet Sorbet cardbase with a Parakeet Party cardstock layer that compliments the Tea Boutique Designer paper.  The small and large flower images are part of the Love For You stamp set and are stamped with Sweet Sorbet and Petal Pink ink...two more colors pulled from the patterned paper.

There isn't an image to stamp the flower centers, so I filled them in with Silver studs from the Adhesive Backed Studs embellishment pack.  Perfect shape!

This card uses a Crumb Cake matte layer, Tahitian Tide and Crush Curry for the die cut words and flowers...kind of a Hawaiian vibe, don't you think?  I love how one card layout is receptive to several different occasions that were supported by various sentiments found in the Love For You stamp set...Congratulations and Thanks.  I know a couple female colleagues who are retiring at the end of this school year, so I wanted to wish them well traveling their next journey.  Then, there are a couple of Lori's Dream Team members who have helped others discover their creative side.  So proud of them!

The Petal Pink matted frame layer, the die cut "for you" in Starry Sky and Sweet Sorbet, stamped flowers and sentiment were all popped up, while the Vellum cardstock layer was adhered directly to the card front to reflect a window effect and depth.

In my opinion, I believe this one is the boldest and brightest of them all.  The matte layer is Starry Sky with Parakeet Party and Tahitian Tide for the die cut words and flowers.  Each finished card was connected to its coordinating envelope and is now ready for my message and delivery. A quick and easy set of 5 cards all set for a wonderful celebrations and acknowledgement!

Hello Friends!!  I've got a fantastic card to share with you that is incorporating new items from the 2023 January-April Mini catalog and the Sale-A-Bration brochure.  The Best Day stamp set includes a few images that are perfect for color with a number of mediums...alcohol markers, watercolor pencils or watercoloring with ink.  My color palette for the cake colors originate from the Dandy Designs 12' x 12' Designer Series Paper—FREE with a $100 purchase during Sale-A-Bration.

I started with a Balmy Blue card base and added a piece of Balmy Blue cardstock that was run through with the Cane Weave 3D Embossing Folder to the top half of the card front.  The bottom half consists of patterns that make up the front and back of one sheet of Dandy Designs Designer Series paper.

I started with a piece of Basic White cardstock that measures 3" x 4". The scalloped tag look at the top was created by using the largest die from the Seasonal Labels Dies.  NOTE:  when layering the plates to cut, make sure the top plate only covers the area of the die that you want cut.  I added the slot die at the same time so I was only needing one pass through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss machine.

It's so therapeutic to color stamped images!  The image was inked with Memento Black and stamped onto the Basic White tag piece.  From the color palette of the Dandy Designs Designer paper, I chose to color with Stampin' Blends using the combo packs of Balmy Blue, Calypso Coral, Granny Apple Green and Smoky Slate.  For added dimension, the 'Birthday' portion of the image was inked again and stamped onto a piece of scrap Granny Apple Green, hand cut out and attached with Mini Stampin' Dimensionals.  Slip a piece of Balmy Blue & White Ribbon through the slot and finish off with some Smoky Slate Baker's Twine tied into a bow.  Add this piece to the card front with dimensionals.

To finish the project, I scattered some Iridescent Pastel Gems (new from the January-April mini catalog) across the card.  I love to decorate envelopes...gotta give the postal carrier something to enjoy during their route :)...I did a little bit of stamping with Calypso Coral and Balmy Blue ink on the front and adhered a piece of the Dandy Designs Designer Paper to the flap of the envelope.  All set for a wonderful birthday celebration!

Hello stamping friends!  My name is Lori Mueller and I welcome you to my creative share with the A Paper Pumpkin Thing (APPT) blog hop group!  I'm very happy you have stopped by because our crew is a group of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators who are collaborating to create alternate projects using the supplies (plus, additional supplies) that come with our monthly Paper Pumpkin kits.  Each month, my Paper Pumpkin subscribers and members of my Stampin' Up! family (Lori's Dream Team) receive exclusive tutorials to beautiful alternate projects.  The creative fun should never stop with just the designs that come in each box! *wink-wink*

GOOD THINGS COME IN SMALL PACKAGES

This month's blog hop is working with the Good Things Come In Small Packages (December 2022) Paper Pumpkin kit.  It contains the supplies to make sixteen colorful and exciting gift card holder boxes.  Buuut, I chose to create a super cute card using supplies within the kit and extra supplies and tools from my own stash.

This kit has a schlew of colors mixed in the design, so I chose a Basic Gray cardbase which measures 8-1/2" x 5-1/2"; scored at 4-1/4", folded and burnished with a bone folder. The next couple layers are Vellum cardstock that was dry embossed with the Into The Clouds Embossing folder.  Not only do you get texture, but embossing Vellum is simply cool!  This piece was attached to the largest Scalloped Contours Die cut from Smoky Slate cardstock.

The original gift card boxes calls for belly bands made from the variety of patterned strips.  I chose to use a Stitched Rectangle die to cut one from each of the patterns, then matte with coordinating colored cardstock (Calypso Coral, Crushed Curry, Balmy Blue and Garden Green).  These matted pieces were added to the Vellum layer with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.  Before I adhered the Balmy Blue layer, I wrapped some of the Basic Gray Baker's Twine (included in the kit) around the whole collection of layers and tied into a bow.  Then add the Balmy Blue matted layer to finish the colorful front.

Adhere the Scalloped Contours, et all, to the card front using Liquid glue.  There are several extra Circles with the kit and will git several of the stamp images Vellum.  The sentiment was inked with Basic Gray and added to the front with Stampin' Dimensionals.  The smaller sentiment was inked with Calypso Coral, stamped onto Basic White cardstock and hand cut with Snips to add a little variance from the focal point.

Super cute, right?!!  At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next A Paper Pumpkin Thing designers blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know they will have something fun, cute 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 any of the wonderful inspiration!

Good morning stampers and crafty friends! I'm so happy you have stopped by.  Welcome to our January 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, I know you're not going to want to miss any of the great inspiration that we have in store for you.

Today's creation has been one roaming around in my dreams for days and I'm happy to say that it's time for fruition!  I was inspired from two different sources that was molded into one… a card pictured in a retired Mini Catalog and the lovely Sweet Talk Designer Series paper that is part of the Sweet Talk Suite of products in the new 2022 January-June Mini catalog.

Creative Tips:

• I'm pairing two patterns from the Sweet Talk designer series paper pack papers — one that sets the background on the Basic White Thick cardbase and the other with the Conversation Hearts images that coordinate with the dies found in the Sweet Hearts Dies.  I love that there were several candy conversation images mixed with the coordinating Blushing Bride, Highland Heather and Granny Apple Green colors.  That was my starting point for choosing my color palette for the card.  The bottom half of the Stitched Rectangle die cut is a subtle pattern found in the paper pack, which helped tone down the bolder/busy pattern in the background.

• The candy hearts were die cut using coordinating dies from the Sweet Heart Dies set.  I arranged them in a small bouquet, of sorts, and added with double layers of Mini Glue Dots instead of Stampin' Dimensionals.  I love dimension, but didn't want the hearts boldly standing away from the Stitched Rectangle pattern as a regular Dimensional would do.

• To help with the 'eye candy', I  used the set of 4-hearts die to create the Granny Apple Green strip of cardstock and aligned it with the angle cut of the Sweet Talk designer paper.  For a finishing touch, I accented this piece by wrapping the Whisper White 1/4" Crinkled Seam Binding below the hearts die strip and tied into a bow.  The Stitched Rectangle panel was set in place with Stampin' Dimensionals.

The Sweet Conversations sentiment was inked with Highland Heather, stamped onto a strip of Basic White cardstock and accented on each end with Highland Heather banner die cuts that is part of the Sweet Hearts Dies.  The sentiment strip was added to the card front with Dimensionals to deem the card creation complete.

Thanks for taking part in our blog hop. With so many amazing ideas and inspiration filled with amazing projects throughout the hop, you won't want to miss a single one!
