Falling For Leaves October 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. 

 

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 beautiful Falling For Leaves stamp set found in the new 2018 Holiday catalog and the luscious Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8" Ribbon.  YUMMY!!.  Since I can only show you a sneak peek of the project I created in the actual October Tutorial Bundle 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!

I am gearing up for Fall and Christmas craft and vendor fairs and came across this candle in my stash of "hmmmm, what crafty thing can I do to dress this up?" Do you have one (or more) of those kinds of stashes??  haha!  I think I purchased it simply because of its color...coordinates quite well with Crushed Curry Woods, Texture Designer Series Paper, and the brilliant color of the Copper Foil paper.

 

After piecing the Woods Texture Designer Series Paper strips onto a strip of Sahara Sand, I knew it had to be finished off with the Merry Merlot & Copper Ribbon.  This ribbon is sooo soft and easy to work with, plus, it adds an elegant sheen and compliments the Copper Foil backing of the Tranquil Tide leaf.

The bundle of leaves were die cut using the coordinating Detailed Leaves Thinlits Dies, arranged, adhered into place and then propped with Stampin' Dimensionals and set into place on the Woods Textures Designer Series Paper strip.  This will be a beautiful addition to your Fall table decorations, don't you think?

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.  :)

To get more inspiration for alternative ideas creating with the May 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.

OSAT Blog Hop -- On The Red Carpet with Share What You Love!!

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog for the May One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  We are pulling out the Red Carpet to show off some Glam and Glitz with our creations. How fun is this going to be?  Waaay fun!  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 couldn't pass up the chance to pull out some brand new products that you, me...everyone...can preorder before the new Annual catalog goes live on June 1st.  The Share What You Love bundles are a HUGE hit, but the "Gotta Have It All" is the bomb!  The Share What You Love Designer Series Paper is ooh-la-la-licious!!

The Love What You Do stamp set is super cute, too.  Outside of the nature images, the mix of fonts for each sentiment image is my favorite.  I love the combination of block-ish type fonts with a really pretty cursive font...really adds elegance and emphasis to the emotions behind the sentiment. 

I have to tell you that my heart is sooo happy to see that Blackberry Bliss has made a come-back with the new color revamp!  It is oh-so pretty paired with a brand new color...Grapefruit Grove.

 

Share What You Love Mini Writing Tablets

It has been forever since I have decorated a notepad.  The cardstock cover is Tranquil Tide while implementing some coordinating Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake.  It is a beautiful day to create a fun little gift for a dear friend or relative.  The 1/8" Black Cord just adds that little oomph and pizzazz.

I couldn't believe it when I found a package of 5 notepads that reminded me of Mint Macaron.  And, I was right...it coordinated perfectly for the project I had in mind.  Each notepad had a thin chipboard backing, so it made it nice to glue it to the back of the cardstock back.

The Love What You Do stamp set comes in any of the 3 Share What You Love bundles, but the Share What You Love Designer Series paper only comes in the "Gotta Have It All" bundle.  Who doesn't want to have it all?!!  You really need to get your hands on this new designer series paper...oh-soooo pretty!

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my blog for the May One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop!  We are pulling out the Red Carpet to show off some Glam and Glitz with our creations. How fun is this going to be?  Waaay fun!  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 couldn't pass up the chance to pull out some brand new products that you, me...everyone...can preorder before the new Annual catalog goes live on June 1st.  The Share What You Love bundles are a HUGE hit, but the "Gotta Have It All" is the bomb!  The Share What You Love Designer Series Paper is ooh-la-la-licious!!

The Love What You Do stamp set is super cute, too.  Outside of the nature images, the mix of fonts for each sentiment image is my favorite.  I love the combination of block-ish type fonts with a really pretty cursive font...really adds elegance and emphasis to the emotions behind the sentiment. 

I have to tell you that my heart is sooo happy to see that Blackberry Bliss has made a come-back with the new color revamp!  It is oh-so pretty paired with a brand new color...Grapefruit Grove.

 

Share What You Love Mini Writing Tablets

It has been forever since I have decorated a notepad.  The cardstock cover is Tranquil Tide while implementing some coordinating Mint Macaron and Crumb Cake.  It is a beautiful day to create a fun little gift for a dear friend or relative.  The 1/8" Black Cord just adds that little oomph and pizzazz.

I couldn't believe it when I found a package of 5 notepads that reminded me of Mint Macaron.  And, I was right...it coordinated perfectly for the project I had in mind.  Each notepad had a thin chipboard backing, so it made it nice to glue it to the back of the cardstock back.

The Love What You Do stamp set comes in any of the 3 Share What You Love bundles, but the Share What You Love Designer Series paper only comes in the "Gotta Have It All" bundle.  Who doesn't want to have it all?!!  You really need to get your hands on this new designer series paper...oh-soooo pretty!

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

Alaska Achievers Blog Hop October 2017 -- Painted Autumn

 

Thank you for joining us for our FIRST Alaskan Achievers blog hop. Those hopping today are Stampin' Up!® Demonstrators from all around the world that have achieved the prestigious Stampin' Up! Incentive trip that only a limited number around the world achieve.

 

We will be hopping together once a month to show you ideas and designs using current Stampin' Up!® products. I live in Nebraska...located smack in the middle of the United States and I would love to help you, inspire you and answer any questions you may have.

Here is the project that I designed for our hop today!

 

When I was creating this card, my heart was glowing so brightly thinking about all of the wonderful friends, super supportive customers, amazing members of Lori's Dream Team and anyone who stops by my blog to visit.  I love everything about this card...from the Soft Sky scallop edge (die from the Seasonal Layers Thinlits) to the sunflowers bordered with the color of Garden Green.

 

 

The sentiment from the Painted Harvest stamp set is my all-time favorite as it reflects what I am truly feeling in my heart.  I am a farm girl at heart, so my heart tugs at creating something rustic...adding some Burlap Ribbon, Linen Thread and a hint of Vellum leaves is the perfect touch to a country card.

I am sooo thankful for each and everyone you!

Again, thank you--thank you--thank you!  I greatly appreciate you stopping by to visit me.  I love the visits; and it warms my heart to read your thoughts you share with each comment.  If you haven't already, please share and invite your friends to stop by.  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.

Thank you for joining us today - we are so happy that you are taking part in our blog hop. Make sure that you don't miss out on one blog as there are some incredible designs you are going to see today to inspire you.

You are currently at my blog - Lori Mueller at Stampin' Dreams, so check the list below to see who is after me and follow all the blogs around.

OSAT Blog Hop -- Fall and Halloween

 

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my stop on the One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop for the month of October!  This months theme is anything Fall and Halloween.  Because I have been on an everything Halloween the last several weeks, I decided to change things up a bit and strive for a mixture of the two...Falloween.  Teehehe

This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from my dear friend Maria Willis's 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 blogger's post.

 

OMGosh!!!  I am so in love with the Pinewood Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder!  Just like the Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat Punch, this Pinewood texture is perfect for Fall-ish type cards.  It would be perfect for scrapbook pages, too!

 

The narrow strips are scraps of Watercolor Paper that I could not bare to toss into File #13 (aka...trash can).  Before adhering the strips to a piece of Garden Green cardstock, I put the strips tightly against each other so that I could give them a watercolor wash of Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight and Peek-a-boo Peach.  Then I dry embossed all the strips using the Big Shot and the Pinewood Embossing Folder.  Lastly, I sponged all edges of each watercolor strip with Soft Suede classic ink to give it a backyard board-on-board fenced-type background look.  LOVE-Love-love!!

Next, my Big Shot got a little workout with the Stitched Circle Framelit and a pumpkin from the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies set. The leaves were stamped with Garden Green Classic ink onto Garden Green cardstock (aka...Tone-on-tone stamping technique).  No fussy cutting necessary because Stampin' Up! has a leaf punch for that!  **squeal**  Add a strip of Burlap Ribbon, Metallic Gold Thread and some Glitter Enamel Dots to the picture and you've got yourself a beautiful Fall or subtle Halloween card.

 

Coordinating Patterned Pumpkins Tag

I love making coordinating gift tags!  I had a scrap piece of 2" x 3-3/4" Watercolor Paper, so I gave it the similar wash of colors used for the card, punched the top with the Scalloped punch, embossed with the Pinewood Embossing Folder, and decorated it with a Patterned Pumpkin set on top of a 2-1/2" Gold Foil punched circle and more leaves.  To tone down the Gold Foil, I sponged the edges of the pumpkin pieces with Soft Suede and glued them back into their spaces. Super adorable!

 

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to Melissa Davies’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 Maria Willis's blog.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to my stop on the One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop for the month of October!  This months theme is anything Fall and Halloween.  Because I have been on an everything Halloween the last several weeks, I decided to change things up a bit and strive for a mixture of the two...Falloween.  Teehehe

This may be your first stop on the hop, or you may have hopped over here from my dear friend Maria Willis's 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 blogger's post.

 

OMGosh!!!  I am so in love with the Pinewood Dynamic Textured Embossing Folder!  Just like the Spooky Cat stamp set and Cat Punch, this Pinewood texture is perfect for Fall-ish type cards.  It would be perfect for scrapbook pages, too!

 

The narrow strips are scraps of Watercolor Paper that I could not bare to toss into File #13 (aka...trash can).  Before adhering the strips to a piece of Garden Green cardstock, I put the strips tightly against each other so that I could give them a watercolor wash of Lemon Lime Twist, Daffodil Delight and Peek-a-boo Peach.  Then I dry embossed all the strips using the Big Shot and the Pinewood Embossing Folder.  Lastly, I sponged all edges of each watercolor strip with Soft Suede classic ink to give it a backyard board-on-board fenced-type background look.  LOVE-Love-love!!

Next, my Big Shot got a little workout with the Stitched Circle Framelit and a pumpkin from the Patterned Pumpkins Thinlits Dies set. The leaves were stamped with Garden Green Classic ink onto Garden Green cardstock (aka...Tone-on-tone stamping technique).  No fussy cutting necessary because Stampin' Up! has a leaf punch for that!  **squeal**  Add a strip of Burlap Ribbon, Metallic Gold Thread and some Glitter Enamel Dots to the picture and you've got yourself a beautiful Fall or subtle Halloween card.

 

Coordinating Patterned Pumpkins Tag

I love making coordinating gift tags!  I had a scrap piece of 2" x 3-3/4" Watercolor Paper, so I gave it the similar wash of colors used for the card, punched the top with the Scalloped punch, embossed with the Pinewood Embossing Folder, and decorated it with a Patterned Pumpkin set on top of a 2-1/2" Gold Foil punched circle and more leaves.  To tone down the Gold Foil, I sponged the edges of the pumpkin pieces with Soft Suede and glued them back into their spaces. Super adorable!

 

At this time, you are now ready to hop on over to Melissa Davies’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 Maria Willis's blog.  Either way, be sure to work your way through all of the blogs so you don’t miss a thing!

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop -- Layered Leaves

 

Hello Stampers and Papercrafters!  Welcome to the September 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 monthly kit.  I'm so thrilled to have you stop by to check out my altered creation for today. 

This month's hop features the fun and fall-ish "Layered Leaves" kit.  The stamp set included with this kit showcases a couple of detailed leaves; and I love the font used for all of the sentiments.  There is sooo much product supplies included in this kit that there were quite a few extras after the entire kit was finished!  YAY!! I'm super excited to share my altered kit project with you...let's take a gander.

 

I really like this month's kit, so I was excited to discover that the kit came with 4 extra pieces of each die cut leaves and accessories.  How sweet is that?!!  This meant that I could make all 16 projects...8 each of the 3x3 card and pillow boxes, and then use the leftover pieces for whatever projects I could dream up.  Sort of like having leftover Sunday Roast so that you can make beef stew or beef stroganoff to create a 2nd meal that really isn't tasting like 'leftovers'!  :)  Leftovers are awesome!

 

 

The Soft Suede card base was shouting out "Fall" to me.  I layered a piece of Wood Textures Designers Series Paper that was embossed with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured embossing folder onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock. To give a sense of a rustic feel, the patterned paper was distressed on the edges.  I love the rustic look.

 

The hashed pattern paper comes from the Painted Autumns Designer Series Paper pack that is available in the Holiday catalog.  A strip of Gold Glimmer paper trims this piece to set it apart from the woodgrain paper.  It also coordinates and enhances the Gold leave layered with the bunch of leaves.

 

 

To get more inspiration for alternative ideas creating with the September Paper Pumpkin kit, make sure you visit the other A Paper Pumpkin Thing Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  I'll be on your heals to soak in the new ideas and inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE UPCOMING HOLIDAY FUN!!  The cat is semi out of the bag with the little hint that the October and November kits are made-to-match, but are not reliant on each other.  You won't want to miss subscribing to get your little Paper Pumpkin boxes in the mailbox because these projects will be perfect for gift giving.

 

 

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 over 3 years and I get anxious to receive my little orange box in the mail near the middle of each month.  **squeal**

This month's hop features the fun and fall-ish "Layered Leaves" kit.  The stamp set included with this kit showcases a couple of detailed leaves; and I love the font used for all of the sentiments.  There is sooo much product supplies included in this kit that there were quite a few extras after the entire kit was finished!  YAY!! I'm super excited to share my altered kit project with you...let's take a gander.

 

I really like this month's kit, so I was excited to discover that the kit came with 4 extra pieces of each die cut leaves and accessories.  How sweet is that?!!  This meant that I could make all 16 projects...8 each of the 3x3 card and pillow boxes, and then use the leftover pieces for whatever projects I could dream up.  Sort of like having leftover Sunday Roast so that you can make beef stew or beef stroganoff to create a 2nd meal that really isn't tasting like 'leftovers'!  :)  Leftovers are awesome!

 

 

The Soft Suede card base was shouting out "Fall" to me.  I layered a piece of Wood Textures Designers Series Paper that was embossed with the Pinewood Planks Dynamic Textured embossing folder onto a piece of Cajun Craze cardstock. To give a sense of a rustic feel, the patterned paper was distressed on the edges.  I love the rustic look.

 

The hashed pattern paper comes from the Painted Autumns Designer Series Paper pack that is available in the Holiday catalog.  A strip of Gold Glimmer paper trims this piece to set it apart from the woodgrain paper.  It also coordinates and enhances the Gold leave layered with the bunch of leaves.

 

 

To get more inspiration for alternative ideas creating with the September Paper Pumpkin kit, make sure you visit the other A Paper Pumpkin Thing Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  I'll be on your heals to soak in the new ideas and inspiration.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop -- Sprinkled With Love

Hello Stampers and Papercrafters!  Weeerrrre Baaaaack!  Yep!  It's May and we're having 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 monthly kit.  This month's hop features the fun and puny "Sprinkled With Love" kit.  We're talking Donuts!  Lots of donuts! I didn't stray too far from the original design, so we could say that I added a WOW factor.  Let's take a peek.

 

Outside of the precut flowers and banners, everything else was circular shaped.  Circle card bases...some with holes in the center, some not, and circles layers with holes.  I believe this kit is in recognition of National Donut Day coming up June 2nd.  Not sure, but it is super fun and cute.

I chose one of the circular card bases without a hole in the center and showcasing a spray of gold embossing. Using most of the supplies that came in the kit, I couldn't help but add a few more circular accessories to keep the whole arrangement in unison.  The Delicate White Doilies was the perfect size that allowed for a hint of the gold spray to still shine through.  I hadn't played with Swirly Scribbles Thinlits in a while, so I thought it would be fun to add one of the new 2017-2019 In Colors...Fresh Fig.  Really love that new color! I mean *really* LUV that color!  The kit came with a spool of Thick Gold Thread which is wonderful to work with...different than any of the Baker's Twine Stampin' Up! has offered.

 

This month's kit came with an 11-piece stamp set.  Some images reference pun-type sentiments and others were more generic accent images and sentiments. I love that the kit came with a selection of all white or the color-matched baby blue banners, because the white was just too stark for this project.  The same goes for the die-cut flowers.  One side White, the other is Vanilla.  So, can you guess which flower color I chose?  Yep!  the Vanilla.  To add a little contrast color, die cut some Wild Wasabi leaves using the Swirly Scribbles Thinlits and set into place around the Soft Suede sentiment. There are these really cool iridescent dots that I'm sure are for sprinkling on the donuts, but I thought they were perfect to finish off the flowers.  WOW!!

 

To get more inspiration for alternative ideas creating with the May Paper Pumpkin kit, make sure you visit the other A Paper Pumpkin Thing Group members' blogs to see what projects they have to share.  Thanks for stopping by....stop back again real soon.

Creative Inking Blog Hop -- What Goes Around in Circles

 

Good evening crafty stamper friends!  Welcome to our Creative Inking Blog Hop for the month of May!  This months theme is "What Goes Around", which leads the imagination straight to circles, right?  Or, the old saying "what comes around, goes around". 

You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the talented Lynn Streifert's 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.

 

One of the first things I thought of was the Merry-go-round in the small park where I grew up.  The next thought was about a dear friend of ours who passed away coming up two years ago....way too early.  He loved to juggle, and was pretty good at it, too.  He was able to get up to four items in rotation and could never quite get that 5th item in the mix.  So, I decided to pull out the Basket Bunch stamp set and coordinating Basket Builder Framelits Dies and have some fun.

Creative Tips:

• I love the sturdiness of our Thick Whisper White cardstock...especially, when you plan to have multiple layers and embellishments.

• The Succulent Garden Designer Series Paper sets the stage layered on some Old Olive cardstock.  Before adhering the two, you'll want to die cut each one with a Layering Ovals Framelit die.  NOTE:  The key to ensuring that they center and nest perfectly is to die cut the patterned paper first.  Then, you can go ahead and adhere the designer paper to the Old Olive layer.  Finally, using the next smaller Layering Oval Framelit die, center within the designer paper oval and cut the Old Olive layer using the Big Shot.

 

 

• To get the Thick Whisper White Baker's Twine to look less bulky, cut the length needed and pull apart each strand.  Then bundle them together and wrap around the designer paper and cardstock layers and tie into a bow.

• Stamp the grass image using Old Olive ink.

• The die cut bunny and eggs come from the Basket Bunch stamp set and the complimentary Basket Builder Framelits Dies.  ALERT!  These are listed as a bundle in the Occasions catalog saving you 10%.  Buuuut, this bundle has landed on the Retirement list and are individually sale priced at 20% off.  That's awesome!  You need to go shopping in my store to get yours

• Everything has a little bit of color with the help of the Aqua Painter and a variety of Classic Ink colors, then popped up using Dimensionals.  I. LOVE. DIMENSION!  ;)
  .
   

Soooo, who said bunnies are only around at Easter time?  haha  Did you notice I added the 5th egg to the juggling?  I'm sure my dear friend has mastered the skill by now....gracefully and flawlessly juggling all 5 items.  ;)  Don't forget!  If you don't have any of the products I used, you'll want to make sure to submit your order through my online store.  Just remember, everything is while supplies last.  I hope you will give it a try.

I'm anxious to jump on this "What Goes Around" hop to see what the rest of the group had in mind when they learned about this month's theme.  You'll want to make sure and hop on over to Dena Rekow's blog...she is one creative cookie, I tell you. Click on the 'Next' button and you'll be at your next stop.  If you get lost or sidetracked, please come on back and follow the list of participants shown below.  Have fun filling your inspiration bucket...don't forget to come back real soon.  :)
