Sympathy

In Good Taste Flag Honoring Men in Blue

September 17, 2020

Flag-BlueFallenHero

Hello my stamping friends!  Outside of papercrafting and making cards, I have dabbled in all types of crafting projects...even wood crafts.  Crafting with wood is a true labor of love and can speak volumes.  Someone I know hand crafted this wooden flag in recognition of a police officer in our city, who lost his life in the line of duty.  As soon as I saw it, I was inspired to create a handmade card.

InGoodTaste-HonorBlueFlag-Front-Lori-DSC02699

CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) the wood creation, I started with a Basic Black layer that is an 1/8" smaller than a typical A2 card (5-1/2" x 4-1/4") to set the focal design.  The wooden strips were chosen from a pattern in the In Good Taste Designer Series paper pack, making sure that I cut the strips going 'with the grain'.  The Misty Moonlight strip symbolizes and recognizes a fallen hero within our city law enforcement agency.

InGoodTaste-HonorBlueFlag-StarSequins-Lori-DSC02706

It took me a bit to figure out how I was going to replicate the 50 stars.  There are several different die sets that include stars, but they were either too big, or were going to be labor intensive with all the die cutting.  As I was flipping through the new August-December 2020 Mini catalog, I came across the Snowflake Sequins image and happened to notice there were STARS in the mix!  YAY!!  Boy, am I glad this product was a "Returning Fav" from the previous years Holiday catalog!

InGoodTaste-HonorBlueFlag-50StarsSequins-Lori-DSC02707

The Basic Black panel for the stars measures 3-1/4" x 2-1/4".  The Fine Tip Glue Pen and Take Your Pick Tool saved the day to make the process go quickly setting all 50 stars.

InGoodTaste-HonorBlueFlag-FlatBlueRibbon-Lori-DSC02710

After evenly spacing the In Good Taste designer paper and Misty Moonlight strips to the Basic Black panel, I wrapped some Misty Moonlight 1/4" Ribbon around the cardstock strip and tied into a knot.  The whole panel was adhered to a Basic Black cardbase with Stampin' Seal.

InGoodTaste-HonorBlueFlag-LT-Lori-DSC02701

The panel of stars was set in place with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I chose to leave this card without a sentiment, as I felt the whole design spoke for itself.  I will be making several of these to package and send to the family with my sincerest thoughts and prayers.  May God hold them close and bring peace to their hearts.

Want to know how this card came together?  Here's my Facebook Live demonstration I did last Sunday sharing tips and tricks for putting it all together.

 

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

Stamp It Blog Hop — Itty Bitty Christmas in July

July 25, 2020

Hello stampers and crafty friends! I'm so happy you are here.  Welcome to our 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...either way, make sure to click the blog next in line to move along the hop and not miss a beat.

July2018-TeamStampIt-Header

This month's hop theme is Christmas in July.  Who wouldn't want a tad bit cooler weather; although, my body handles the heat a whole lot better than the frigid cold temps!

StampItHop-IttyBittyChristmasJuly-2Flat-Lori-DSC02508
These two little gems start off adorning the smaller cardbase and envelopes in the Assorted Memories & More Cards & Envelopes pack.  They measure 4-1/4" x 3-1/4" when folded and make the cutest little notecards.

StampItHop-IttyBittyChristmasJuly-GoldFrame-Lori-DSC02517

The patterned paper comes from the Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper pack featuring almost all of the green tones available in the Stampin' Up! color families.  I chose to use Pretty Peacock that was embossed using the Greenery Embossing folder.  I love that there are TWO mini folders in that pack to choose from.  The sentiment comes from the Itty Bitty Christmas stamp set and was inked with Just Jade and then die cut using the Ornate Frames.

StampItHop-IttyBittyChristmasJuly-FernRT-Lori-DSC02513

I'm not sure what the name of this fancy fold card is, but I'm going to call it a vertical "Gate fold".  It is really easy to do.  For this one, I stamped the same sentiment in Just Jade, but punched it out using the Story Label Punch...showcasing the versatility of using the same layout, papers and accessories.

StampItHop-IttyBittyChristmas-2FlatOpen-Lori-DSC02510

The fun thing about this style of card is that you can write a short note or stamp a sentiment in this section before writing a traditional or lengthy message on the inside.

Would you like to create these adorable Thinking of You notecards?  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.

Creative Inking Blog Hop — Sending Handmade Love with Ornate Garden Flowers

April 20, 2020

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Today is blog hop day, April 20th, which means our amazing Creative Inking designers have created an inspiring group of projects themed as "Sending Handmade Love".  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Colleen Vassos' blog. Please be sure to click the 'Next' button (found below) to move along the Creative Inking blog hop to see all the beautiful projects.

CreativeInking-HeaderImage

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.
 
CreativeInkingHop-SendingLoveOrnate-Lori-DSC01353

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.

CreativeInkingHop-SendingLoveOrnateHeart-Lori-DSC01362

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.

CreativeInkingHop-SendingLoveOrnateLT-Lori-DSC01355

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.

Now, if you have ever thought about getting more for your money purchasing all of your favorite Stampin' Up! products, I highly recommend that you purchase the "Happy Shopper" Starter Kit and save 20% with each purchase.  There really isn't anything to lose...only lots of product to gain!  But, until you make that leap to join my Stampin' Up! family and fill your starter kit with new January-June Mini products 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!



 

So with one click you can be on your way to soak in some more inspiration showcasing more "Sending Handmade Love" creations using supplies from any of the current catalogs from the rest of the group.  Your next stop on the hop will be with our very creative, Dena Rekow.  I know her creation will be fabulous...she always shares a gorgeous creation (or two) to share with everyone. Click on the 'Next' button and you'll be at your next stop.  Have fun filling your inspiration bucket...don't forget to come back real soon.  :)

Creative Inking Blog Hop — Favorite New Catalog Product Suite

June 20, 2019

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  I'm so excited to have you join me for the June Creative Inking Blog Hop!  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Colleen Vassos' blog. Please be sure to click the 'Next' button (found below) to move along the Creative Inking blog hop.

CreativeInking-HeaderImage

This month's hop is all about sharing which of the amazing Suite of products in the beautiful new catalog is our favorite.  YIKES!!  This was SUPER difficult for me...as is any challenge to come up with ONE favorite from a group of products.  It's like asking me to choose which child I gave birth to is my favorite. HA!  Some days I may have had a definite answer for you...but, we won't go there. :)

2019_AC_P036
So, to help make my decision easy (for myself), I decided to go with the Magnolia Lane Suite.  For the most part, it's the Suite of products that I have been playing with the last few days.  Look at all of those amazing creations that are showcased in the catalog (page 36-37)!

CreativeInkingHop-MagnoliaSuiteCard1-Lori-DSC09966

To help get my creative juices flowing, I love to CASE a card pictured in the catalog.  This one uses a mix of the Good Morning Magnolia stamp set, coordinating Magnolia Memory dies, Magnolica Lane Memories & More Card Pack, and Magnolia Lane Large Specialty Memories & More Cards & Envelopes.  Super cool that most of what I needed for this card was already part of the Suite.

CreativeInkingHop-MagnoliaSuite-Card1Left-Lori-DSC09971

The Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack is loaded with 56 cards, plus sticker sheets!  The Vellum layers are already stamped with the images...I just added some color using the Mossy Meadow Light Stampin' Blends on the leaves.  The large Magnolia image was inked in Memento black, stamped onto Whisper White, colored with Stampin' Blends markers and die cut.  The sentiment tag is a sticker, but it's easy to convert it to be a regular tag...simply pounce the back with an Embossing Buddy.  The powder dust will reduce the tacky-ness and allow for Stampin' Dimensionals to do their job.

CreativeInkingHop-MagnoliaSuite-Card2-Lori-DSC09972

I love that the Magnolia Lane card bases have a nice Silver Foil engraved on the front.  It can be used to 'frame' one of the smaller Memories & More cards.  All I did to this one was add the sticker that trims the pre-stamped sentiment and a few flower stickers to the lower bottom before adding dimensionals and centering over another card I trimmed down from the pack.

CreativeInkingHop-MagnoliaSuiteCard2Flat-Lori-DSC09978


Again, you can make any of the stickers a 'non-sticker' by pouncing the Embossing Buddy all over the stickers backside.  I love the new ribbon pack, too....sooo soft and easy to create bows and knots.  Yummy!

Would you like to create this bundle of cards using the Magnolia Lane Memories & More Card Pack and other complimentary products?  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!



 

So with one click you can be on your way to soak in some more inspiration showcasing more Product Suites that are favorites of the rest of the group.  Your next stop on the hop will be with our very creative, Dena Rekow.  I know her projects will be fabulous...she'll have a gorgeous creation (or two) to share with everyone. Click on the 'Next' button and you'll be at your next stop.  Have fun filling your inspiration bucket...don't forget to come back real soon.  :)

Healing Hugs for September Tutorial Bundle Design Team Blog Hop

September 07, 2018

 

TutorialBundle-BlogHop-HeaderImage

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.

TutorialBundleDesignTeam-Collage

 

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

 

TutorialSneakPeek-Collage-September2018

 

This month's tutorial bundle is based on currently available supplies from Stampin’ Up! and has 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.

My extra project this month features the elegant Healing Hugs stamp set found in the Annual catalog and the Country Lane Designer Series Paper available in the 2018 Holiday Catalog.  Since I can only show you a sneak peek of the project I created in the actual All Star PDF, I'm sharing a 2nd project I made especially for this blog hop using 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!

AllStarHop-Sept-HealingHugs-Lori-DSC07765

I was looking through my stash of cards and found zilch for get well...desperately in need of them.  It seems like every time I turn around someone is having a knee or hip replaced.  YIKES!!  I love to challenge myself to use more than one pattern of designer paper within the same pack on my projects.  The key is to mix larger patterns with smaller geometric patterns.  This makes it more eye-appealing.

AllStarHop-Sept-HealingHugsFlat-Lori-DSC07764

The floral image is purposely created to give your stamped image "Distinktive" depth and shading.  That's right...one inking and one stamping.  Although, with my flower, you are actually looking at the 2nd rendition of the stamped image.  I did this because I wanted it to be a bit more subtle...not to overpower the different patterns of designer series paper.  Plus, the matted Scalloped Layering Circle in Blackberry Bliss compliments the flower image.

 

AllStarHop-Sept-HealingHugsLeft-Lori-DSC07761

The Mint Macaron Baker's Twine bow adds a small amount of color to the focal image that is popped up off the Crushed Curry layer.  I think this particular sentiment inked in Blackberry Bliss could fit the bill for a Get Well or Sympathy...what do you think?

 


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.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop — Blissful Blooms

August 30, 2018

Hello and welcome Stampers and Papercrafters to another fun and exciting A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!!   A number of Stampin' Up! Demonstrators from all over the world have joined together to share alternative projects using supplies from the August monthly kit named "Blissful Blooms".  I really surprised myself creating alternate projects with the August kit...everything just seemed to come together super easy, and that doesn't always happen for me.  Many crafting sessions find me pondering on my creations for an undisclosed amount of time.  haha!  I had a ton of fun creating my altered kit projects and I can't wait to show them off to you...let's go take a peek!

PPHop-HeaderPic

This months kit is very elegant and is designed for all occasions...sympathy, thinking of you, congratulations, etc.  Super exciting!!

August2018-BlissfulBlooms


For my creation, I did a combination of products from the paper pumpkin kit and coordinating colors of cardstock and classic inks (Old Olive, Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo).

PPHop-BlissfulBlooms-Lori-DSC07596


This kit came with small-type tags, but I was needing a sympathy card and really wanted the sentiment to stand out and make a statement.  The Old Olive cardstock strip was run through the Big Shot using the new Corrugated Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing folder.  I was looking for texture and something solid to help the matted focal point stand out a bit from the floral cardbase.

 

PPHop-BlissfulBloomsFlat-Lori-DSC07598

The Flirty Flamingo & Silver Baker's Twine was my main factor determining the large scalloped Oval die cut from Silver Foil paper.  The rest of the card front helped me bring in little bits of the other colors...Blackberry Bliss accenting the Shimmery White Oval die cut and the Old Olive and Flirty Flamingo ink colors for the sentiment.  I love how Stampin' Up! makes it sooo easy for me to coordinate the color palettes to various papers, inks, and embellishments.

PPHop-BlissfulBloomsLeft-Lori-DSC07593

So, what do you think?  I love the sentiment...and, I love the different color tones of the floral card front.  My hope is that it will bring a warm smile to my friends face who is dealing with a tragic loss of a dear loved one.

 


Floral Cardbase Turns into Gift Box

Now to flip to an exciting occasion, I have a few of my team members who have recently hit a couple of different milestones. I love to recognize them with little gifts of appreciation and gratitude that they have chosen me to be their team leader.

PPHop-BlissfulBloomsBox-Lori-DSC07600

Look how beautiful this little box turned out...so elegant!  The lid comes from the card base front...the box bottom was made using the back of the card base.  How cool is that?!!

PPHop-BlissfulBloomsBoxOpen-Lori-DSC07605

Little gift boxes are always a big hit with mini York Peppermint Patties!  :)  I'm really pleased with how these projects came together...super easy, elegant and FUN! 


To get more inspiration for alternative ideas creating with the August Paper Pumpkin kit, make sure you visit the other A Paper Pumpkin Thing Group members' blogs to see what projects they have created to share with you.  I'll be on your heals to soak in the new ideas and inspiration.

Creative Inking Blog Hop — FUN with Stampin' Up! Designer Series Paper!!

July 19, 2018

Hello stamper and crafter friends! Welcome to my crafty spot on the Creative Inking Blog Hop for the month of June! This months theme is the chance to create and showcase some new accessories available in the new Stampin' Up! catalog!! **squeal** l can't wait to share my creation with you!  :)

CreativeInking-HeaderImage

You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented Sandra Motts' blog. Please be sure to click the 'Next' button (found below) to move along the Creative Inking blog hop. If you get off track at any time, the full line up below will help you move along from blog to blog.


This month's inspiration theme is all about Stampin' Up!'s amazing Designer Series Paper!  The quality is a nice weight, patterns on both sides, and comes in different sizes (12" x 12" or 6" x 6").  The Designer papers may be themed for specific occasions, but, like anything else, is very versatile to make creations for any occasion.

 

CreativeInking-DSPTreatTime-Lori-DSC06796

  • The Mango Melody cardbase is accented with a beautiful floral design from the Garden Impressions Designer Series Paper pack matted with Pacific Point cardstock.  The sentiment comes from the Treat Time stamp set, which coordinates with the Petite Treats Framelits Dies.  You can purchase this bundle for a 10% savings.

  CreativeInkingDSPTreatTimeFlat-Lori-DSC06798

  • Another wonderful aspect of the Designer Series Paper packs is that the colors used in the patterns coordinate with Stampin' Up!'s cardstock.  I love that the guessing game of what colors I want to use is eliminated...the Pacific Point scallop die sentiment layer; and Melon Mambo banner cut strip accent the flowers in the paper.

 

CreativeInking-DSPTreatTimeFront-Lori-DSC06793

Sooo, did you make it through without having to grab a pair of sunglasses?  It's really striking and vibrant, I think.  I'm certain that the person receiving this creation will definitely have one bright smile on their face.  I hope you will give this color combination a whirl.  I'm sure your mouth will water just playing with these colors.  haha!

Stamp It Blog Hop -- Fall Themed Suite Seasons

August 27, 2016

 

August2016-TeamStampIt-Header

Hello stampers and paper crafters!  Thank you for stopping and Welcome aboard the August Stamp It Blog Hop!  Life has been crazy busy around here...schools are hoppin' with lively students, County Fairs have finished up their season, and I've been creating and teaching stamp classes like a mad woman!  Well, not 'mad', but focused and loving the creations I've come up with.  I know the term CASEing (Copy And Share Everything) a project is very fluent among crafters and that is awesome (and I highly encourage everyone to do it), but I really struggle CASEing other crafters work.  I know, I'm weird, but I like to create original work...that's not to say that I don't take away lots of inspiration to come up with a final design...there is plenty of inspiration, that's for sure!  For my project share, I was inspired by some new products that are going to be available in the new Holiday catalog on September 1st.  There are several patterns in the Petals & Paisley Specialty Designers Series Paper pack that really made me think of the old days of wallpaper...taking me back to my childhood growing up on the farm.  Our theme is anything Fall related, which means that it won't be long until harvesting the crops starts up...my ultimate favorite time of the year.

If you have been traveling along the Stamp It Group Blog Hop, you may have come here from, Rachael Rife's blog.  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.

 

StampItHop-SuiteSeasonsSympathy-Lori-DSC01450


I know that sending Sympathies is not a seasonable occasion, but I couldn't pass up using this pattern of paper from the Petals & Paisley Specialty Designer Series paper pack.  The colors shown are so warm and subtle.

Creative Tips:

  • Start with a Very Vanilla card base measuring 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" with a center score across the middle at 4-1/4".
  • The Petals & Paisley Specialty Designer Series Paper showcases the colors of Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, and Delightful Dijon.  Matte the patterned paper onto a layer of Rich Razzleberry, followed by Mint Macaron cardstock.  Each of the cardstock layers have a 1/8" border.
  • The sentiment is 1 of 7 'seasonal' verbal stamps in the set called "Suite Seasons".  Ink up the words using Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron and stamp onto a Very Vanilla Oval die cut.  Quickly pour Stampin' Clear Embossing powder over the ink before it dries and heat set using the Heat Tool on the high setting.  NOTE:  I recommend die cutting the Oval piece BEFORE stamping the sentiment.  This is because after heat embossing, you want to avoid any impressions from your Big Shot Clear Plates transferring to the newly heat embossed area.  You want your heat embossing to have a little dimension, whereas, the cutting plates will leave markings after being run through the Big Shot.

StampItHop-SuiteSeasons-Side-Lori-DSC01456

  • Matte the Oval die onto a layer of Copper Foil paper die cut with the Scallop Oval die.  Look how GORGEOUS that Copper Foil paper is!!  Click on image (above) to get a closer look  WARNING:  you will drool!
  • Add some 3/8" Mint Macaron Ribbon from the Trio pack to the back of the focal grouping.  To make it pop off the cardbase, add Stampin' Dimensionals and set into place.

StampItHop-SuiteSeasonsRichRazzl-Lori-DSC01457

  • It just so happens that the 3/8" Trio Ribbon Pack features the colors of Rich Razzleberry and Mint Macaron...YIPPEE!!

So, tell me...which color of ribbon used on my card shares is your favorite?  I'd love to know!  :)  In the meantime, the temps in our area have been in the low-to-mid 70's, which Fall-type weather.  When the Fall season arrives, I hope it will stick around for quite awhile.  I am SO not ready for old man winter to show up!  YIKES!  In case you weren’t aware, there are 65 days until Halloween, 89 days until Thanksgiving, 105 days until Hanukkah, and 120 days until Christmas. With that new knowledge, you want to make sure you visit the other Stamp It Group members' blogs to see what Fall-themed projects they have to share.  It's never too early to get started on those cards.  ;)  Don't forget to come back real soon.

The Dog Days of Summer OSAT Blog Hop!!

August 11, 2016

OSAT-BlogHop-Header-2016

Good morning!  Welcome to our One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop for the month of August!  I know that I say this A LOT, but where the heck is this year going?  I could probably recap about 5 minutes of June...and, maybe, about 7-10 minutes of July, but with August half gone...well, it's soon to be history.  Yeee GADS!  Before I lose track of time, I want to thank you for stopping by to visit me. This may be your first stop on the hop (YEAH...muwhaaa!), or you may have come from the previous stampers blog. Either way, in order to view all of the blog participants sharing their wonderful craftiness, click on the "NEXT" button at the bottom of each post.

This month's blog hop had me stumped on what to create and share with you.  Our theme is "Dog Days of Summer"....hmmmm...what's a stamper to do?  Well, I decided to poll a couple of my scrapbooking friends to see what they envisioned.  I got a variety of responses...HOT was the #1 answer, along with multiple other answers...sun, picnics, fun-in-the-sun, camping, boating, etc. All of those answers were good ones, but my creative MOJO was just not catching on.  haha!  I knew I wanted to create something using the new exclusive Thoughtful Branches stamp set and coordinating Beautiful Branches Thinlits dies.  Absolutely stunning bundle!  But, there was one particular sentiment in this set that is perfect for several of my close friends who have lost a parent and/or child within the last month.  Despite the high heat & humidity of summer, losing a loved one can make for a crummy summer.  Let's see how I did.

OSATHop-DogDaysSummer-Lori-DSC01389

Creative Tips:

  • The card base is Thick Whisper White cardstock, measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2"" and scored at 4-1/4".  The heavier weight of this cardstock will help support many layers of cardstock and designer series paper, along with embellishments.
  • Using the regular weighted Whisper White cardstock, emboss it with the Elegant Dots folder. Then punch the bottom 2 corners using the Project Life corner rounder punch.  Add a strip of Affectionately Yours Specialty Designer Series paper.
  • Trim off a portion of a Delicate White Doily and top with a Circle die cut from a different Affectionately Yours designer paper pattern.  Add to the card front.
  • The tree consists of 2 dies from the Beautiful Branches Thinlits die set using Crumb Cake and Cucumber Crush cardstock.  Add dimensionals and set in place.

OSATHop-DogDaysSummerClose-Lori-DSC01394

  • The sentiment was inked with the Archival Basic Black ink and stamped onto Whisper White cardstock.  Layer with a strip of Watermelon Wonder and banner cut both pieces.  Add dimensionals and tuck the under the tree trunk.  To enhance the softness of the occasion, add some Whisper White Baker's Twine to the tree trunk.
  • 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

Upcycled Canning Jelly Jar Project:  Okay, yes, yes, yes....I love to upcycle!  I can't help it...it's a handmade gift that is unique and will never be found in any store.  Plus, think of all the extra love that went into that extra special touch.  So stinkin' easy, adorable and extremely affordable!  Check out the yummies that now fill this 'used-to-be' jelly jar.

OSATHop-DogDaysSummerJar-Lori-DSC01399

 Creative Tips:

  • The belly band is the 5/8" Burlap Ribbon.
  • The tag is created using the Everyday Jars Framelits, Affectionately Yours Speciality Designer Series paper, Jar of Love, Delicate Doily, Soft Suede ink, Whisper White Baker's Twine and topped with a tag die cut from the Bunch of Banners Framelits.  Too much cuteness when filled with some yummy Heartland Melt-Away chocolates.

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to Tina Riddle’s blog.  You won't want to miss traveling on as I know that she will have something adorable to share with you.  If you prefer to work your way backwards, you can jump back to Elizabeth Jeanne Thatcher’s blog.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

Stampin' Up!'s Soothing Peaceful Petals

April 09, 2014

Today, my heart weighs heavy....I learned that one of my bestest friend's Mom passed away last night.  Tonda and I had LOTS of crazy, teen fun in high school....I spent many hours cracking jokes, laughing and having fun with her parents.  So, it goes without saying that I have shed many tears this morning, but I have reminisced on SO many more memories.  Cathy was a wonderful wife, a loving and supportive Mom and Grandmother, and full of fun and spunk for each of the friendships she had created through her long life.  I'm truly blessed to have known such a kind, caring, and super wonderful woman.

This is card #2 from a Sympathy card class I held a few weeks ago.  When I first saw Peaceful Petals in the Occasions mini catalog, I wasn't sure that I *needed* another flower stamp set in my stash, buuuut, there is just something about this set that I find very soothing and elegant.  These are flowers that will render themselves as stamped silouettes or enjoy the therapy of water coloring with my Aqua Painter.

PeacefulPetals-WatercolorSympathy-Lori-8638

I just love how the Watercolor Wonder Designer Series Paper compliments and softens any vibrant colors of Gumball Green and Tangerine Tango.  The flower image was inked with Jet Black StazOn and stamped onto a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  My go to sentiment-filled stamp set is Petite Pairs....there are 18 stamps in this set....a wonderful sentiment for sooo many occasions.  Even though I did not add any embellishments such as ribbons, buttons, or hardware, I think the elegancy of this card was polished with the main focal points (flower and sentiment panels) popped up using Stampin' Dimensionals.
