A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop — All The Best Alternate Treat Box Idea

APPT Hop Header-Image

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*

ALL THE BEST

All The Best Header image
This month's blog hop is playing with the All The Best (December 2023) Paper Pumpkin kit.  It contains the supplies to make nine stunning cards, three each of three designs and coordinating envelopes.  It comes with an acetate box where you can store your finished cards! You can gift the kit itself or the finished product in the acetate box; either way, it's the perfect last minute gift for any occasion.

But, you know I like to create 'outside the box', so that's what I navigated towards to come up with a super cute treat box that'll be perfect for gifting for any occasion.  Once the supplies are used up to create those cards, I brought in some additional supplies and tools from my own stash to create my fun project.

To start, I chose to go with a Balmy Blue base that measures 4-3/8 x 5-5/8 and scored at 2-7/8 and 3-1/2 along the 5-5/8" stretch.  The floral card base was cut down the center at 4-1/4, then cut down one of the halves to measure 4-1/4 x 2-3/4.  Score at 5/8".  In order to get a nice even Balmy Blue matte to the floral piece, I had to trim along the 'green grass' edge about 1/16"...just a sliver.  This will ensure that the scored sections line up evenly without any gaps when you glue them together.

APPT Hop-All The Best Acetate Box Cut-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC07469

The Acetate box was cut in half at 4".  You'll probably need a couple passes with the trimmer to cut through the double layers of acetate.  Assemble one of the halves to form a box, but without a lid.  The fun thing is that cutting the Acetate box in half allows you to make two treat boxes to match with the 2 halves of the floral card base.  Pure genius, right?!!

APPT Hop-All The Best Acetate Box Open-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC07481

Insert the Balmy Blue base into the Acetate box.  NOTE:  I added a tiny piece of Tear & Tape to each corner of the Balmy Blue cardstock piece so that it stayed in place without slipping out.  Wrap some of the Balmy Blue & White Variegated Ribbon around the box to hold the flap down.  The sentiment was inked with Pebbled Path and stamped onto a Stylish Shape Stitched Circle cut from Basic White, then Clear Embossed it.  I popped it up onto a Gold Foil Scalloped Layer Circle die with a Crushed Curry Stylish Shape Banner Die cut accent.  The kit included a package of beautiful Balmy Blue rhinestones that I sprinkled across the front flap.  Fill with candies, dog/cat treats, trinkets, etc

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!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop — Key To My Heart Alternate Ideas

APPT Hop Header-Image

Hello stamping friends!  Welcome 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!

KEY TO MY HEART

2023_01_PP_MKTL_STAMP_ARTWORK



This month's blog hop is working with the Key To My Heart (January 2023) Paper Pumpkin kit.  It contains the supplies to make nine darling love-themed cards.  Once the supplies are used up to create those cards, I can now focus on creating a lovely card using extra supplies within the kit and additional supplies and tools from my own stash.

APPT Hop-Key To My Heart Valentine Front-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06482

This kit didn't have a lot of extra pieces, so I focused on the stamp set to create a new card.  I stayed with the main color theme—Fresh Freesia—as my cardbase which measures 4-1/4" x 11" and scored at 5-1/2", folded and burnished with a bone folder.  I cut up one of the envelopes because the inside was this pretty Fresh Freesia pattern and works great as a layer for the Petal Pink Scalloped Contours Die cut.  Before adhering the layers to the card front, I inked up the hearts image with Fresh Freesia and stamped a couple of times in 2 of the corners.

APPT Hop-Key To My Heart Valentine Lt-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06486

One of the original card designs from the kit left behind this Petal Pink key hole punch out.  The image was inked with Fresh Freesia and Clear Embossed for added glam.  I layered a Scallop Circle die cut from Gold Foil to the key hole piece and set onto the card front with dimensionals.

APPT Hop-Key To My Heart Valentine Close-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06491

The heart-shaped lock was inked with Calypso Coral on the bottom and Versa Mark on the upper lock area and heat embossed with Gold on that portion of the image.  The key image was also inked with Versa Mark and heat embossed with Gold powder.  Both images were hand cut (aka fussy cut) and attached to the key hole piece using some of the Calypso Coral baker's twine from the kit.  The sentiment was inked with Fresh Freesia and stamped onto a strip of Basic White cardstock and adhered to the key hole piece.


Simply adorable and ready to send off to my favorite Valentine!  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!

Best Day Birthday Sale-A-Bration with Dandy Designs and Matching Envelope

SAB23_en_US_Page_01

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.

Best Day-Dandy Designs SAB-Birthday Front-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06367

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.

Best Day-Dandy Designs SAB-Birthday RT-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06369
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.

Best Day-Dandy Designs SAB-Birthday Flat-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06375
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.

Best Day-Dandy Designs SAB-Birthday Card Env-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC06373

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!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop — Good Things Come In Small Packages Alternate Idea

APPT Hop Header-Image

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

1222_PP_FACEBOOK_TOOLKIT

1222_PP_KITCONTENTS 2022_12_PP_MKTL_STAMP_ARTWORK


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.

 

APPT Hop-Good Things Congrats Front-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-IMG_5901
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.

APPT Hop-Good Things Congrats Left-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-IMG_5900-IMG_5900
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.

APPT Hop-Good Things Congrats Close-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-IMG_5905
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!

PPX Crew Blog Hop — June Alternate Paper Pumpkin You Are The Sweetest Pick Of The Crop Card

PPXCrew-BlogHop-Header

Hello my stamping friends!  Welcome to another series of our PPX Crew Monthly Blog Hop!  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 created by our PPX Crew.  Since we are having so much fun sharing exclusive alternate projects with our subscribers, we are creating a 2nd alternate project that is being shared with everyone! YAY!

PICK OF THE CROP

0622_PP_THUMBNAIL
0622_PP_PICK_OF_THE_CROP_MKTL_STAMP_ARTWORK

This month's blog hop features the refreshing hints of summer Pick Of The Crop (June 2022) kit.  This kit was filled with so many elements of summer that one would see, taste and smell during a morning stroll through your local Farmers Market.  Even reminded me of my trip to Italy a couple years ago...so fun!

PPXHop-June2022 Pick Of The Crop Sweetest Card-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC06028
I love that the coordinating colors are noted on the back of the instruction panel that comes with each kit.  I had a good number of colors to choose from, but I went with one of my favorites—Soft Succulent for my cardbase.  The main focal panel is taken from one of the cardbases that came with the kit that I cut to make a vertical gate fold.  I started with a 4-1/4 x 8-1/2 card base that is scored at 2-3/4 and 8-1/4 along the long edge.

PPXHop-June2022 Pick Of The Crop Sweetest Card-SideFold-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC06025

The original card base front was cut from the back at 4-1/4—saving the back for another project.  Then trim on all sides by 1/16" to give an even 1/4" trim.  Take the front panel and cut at 2-5/8 from the bottom.  To divide the trimmed card panel, cut at 2-5/8 from the bottom and adhere to each the top and bottom sections of the gatefold sections of the new cardbase.  Add the strawberry/blueberry die cut to the bottom section with Dimensionals forming the overlap of the gatefold.

PPXHop-June2022 Pick Of The Crop Sweetest Card-Close-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC06031
Ink the sentiment with Calypso Coral and stamp onto one of the picket die cuts.  Add it to a set of berries and adhere everything to the card front with Dimensionals.  For a little country touch, tie some Linen Thread around the stake and tie into a bow.  Here's a close-up of the texture, colors and dimension.  Oh-so pretty! At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next PPX Crew 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 a thing!

PPX Crew Blog Hop — January Alternate Paper Pumpkin Kisses & Hugs Shaker Heart Card

PPXCrew-BlogHop-Header

Hello my stamping friends!  Welcome to another series of our PPX Crew Monthly Blog Hop!  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 of demonstrators (Lori's Dream Team) receive exclusive tutorials to beautiful alternate projects created by our PPX Crew.  Now we are creating a 2nd alternate project that is being shared with everyone!

PPXHop-Jan2022 Kisses Hugs Shaker Heart Card-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC05241


0122_PP_THUMBNAIL 0122_PP_TOOLKIT_STAMPARTWORK

This month's blog hop features the love-filled Kisses & Hugs (January 2022) kit.  Not very often do I think to use up any of the leftover negative pieces from punched images, they usually get tossed in the recycle bin, but this time the scraps were speaking quite clearly to me.  After all of the bi-fold heart cards were made, there were still goodies left behind to create a fun shaker card!

PPXHop-Jan2022 Kisses Hugs Shaker Heart Card LT-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC05246

The background is the largest Scalloped Contour Die cut from Blushing Bride with a layer of Sweet Talk Designer Series Paper from the January-June 2022 Mini Catalog.  I threaded the Real Red Faux Linen Ribbon through the loops, tied into a bow and added to the Crumb Cake cardbase with Liquid Glue.

PPXHop-Jan2022 Kisses Hugs Shaker Heart Card Flat Angle-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC05250

There was no way I was tossing the negative left behind from the Blushing Bride heart frame!  I adhered a piece of Vellum to the back of the leftover heart and hand cut it out with Paper Snips.  This way I only had to cut the heart once versus twice.  I arranged the two stamp images — X and O — on a clear block to ink with Versa Mark and heat emboss with Gold.  To create the shaker component, I traced the Vellum framed heart onto Basic White cardstock and hand cut with Snips.  The From My Heart Faceted Gems are a perfect color match to the rest of the card — right down to the splash of Gold — and make a good shake-shake-shake noise that will be fun for the recipient to enjoy. 

PPXHop-Jan2022 Kisses Hugs Shaker Heart Card RT-Stampin Dreams-Lori Mueller-DSC05243

Finish the card with the word sentiments inked with Real Red onto a strip of Basic White, snipped to size and added to the card front with Stampin' dimensionals.

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to the next PPX Crew 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 a thing!

Stamp It Blog Hop — Sweet Conversations for Valentine's Day

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.

Jan2018-TeamStampIt-Header

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.

 

StampItHop-Sweet Conversations-Valentine Front-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC05178

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.

 

StampItHop-Sweet Conversations-Valentine Hearts-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC05172

  • 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.

StampItHop-Sweet Conversations-Valentine Flat LT-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC05183

  • 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.

 

StampItHop-Sweet Conversations-Valentine RT-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC05179

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.

Creative Inking Blog Hop — Celebrating Sale-A-Bration with Textures & Frames

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Today, our amazing team of Creative Inking designers are showcasing a bundle of projects featuring the wonderful Sale-A-Bration products you can earn for free with a qualifying order.  There's a mix of stamp sets, designer series paper and dies that lend itself to lots of FUN creativity!  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Susan Campbell's blog. Please be sure to click the 'Next' button (found below) to move along the Creative Inking blog hop to see all the beautiful and amazing projects.

CreativeInking-HeaderImage

I'm really having a ton of fun playing with all of the Sale-A-Bration selections, but the highlight of the card I'm sharing features the Textures & Frames stamp set (free with $50 purchase)!  It's like playing with geometric shapes or Legos to see what fun patterns can be created, but with the added personal choice of colors. 

CreativeInkingHop-Textures & Frames Sheep-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC04819

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.
 
CreativeInkingHop-Textures & Frames Sheep-Flat Close-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC04827
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. 
 

CreativeInkingHop-Textures & Frames Sheep-Supplies-Stampin Dreams Lori Mueller-DSC04825

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.

Stamp It Blog Hop — Final Sale-A-Bration Spring Fling to Heal Your Heart

Good morning stampers and crafty friends! I'm so happy you have stopped by.  Welcome to our February 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.

Feb2015-TeamStampIt-Header


It's so hard to believe that Sale-A-Bration ends tomorrow at midnight!  YIKES!  With that said, that's what our hop theme is all about the Final Sale-A-Bration Spring Fling!  This last week, I attended a funeral for my long-time BFF's father.  The first thing I thought of was the Brushed Blooms Bundle and Heal Your Heart stamp sets.  The Heal Your Heart stamps are free with a $50 order during Sale-A-Bration and has several sentiments that fit this sad occasion.

StampItHop-Brushed Blooms-Heal Your Heart Flat-Stampin Dreams Lori-DSC04179

I'm still on a Brushed Blooms kick and couldn't resist creating a card that brought the two sets together.  I just love the images and dies from this bundle, so I brought in some of the True Love Designer Series Paper that was cut with the 2nd to largest scallop stitched rectangle from the Stitched So Sweetly Dies set.  To tone down the starkness of the Basic Black, I overlayed a piece of Vellum cardstock.

StampItHop-Brushed Blooms-Heal Your Heart Sympathy Close-Stampin Dreams Lori-DSC04182

I borrowed some inspiration for the Basic White layer from the January-June 2021 mini catalog (page 28).  It consists of a mix of Mint Macaron brushstrokes and Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies.  I first stamped the image from the Brushed Blooms stamp set randomly across the page and filled in with the brushstrokes die pieces.  Then used the little polka dot image inked with Memento, stamped off once, and stamped randomly across the whole area.  Super fun to create your own backgrounds using stamps and dies.

StampItHop-Brushed Blooms-Heal Your Heart Sympathy Front-Stampin Dreams Lori-DSC04183

The flower arrangement is made up of Mango Melody and Flirty Flamingo with Soft Sea Foam leaves and Mint Macaron leaf veins...all cut with dies from the Beautiful Brushstrokes Dies set.  For a little softness, I accented the flowers with some White Baker's Twine from the Snail Mail Twine Combo pack.  The sentiment from Heal Your Heart was inked with Memento and trimmed and popped up with Dimensionals.

Would you like to re-create this Sympathy 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 Spring Fling Sale-A-Bration 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.
