Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Today, our amazing team of Creative Inking designers have created a bundle of projects featuring our large collection of Stampin' Up! Dies that greatly assist with creativity and allow lots more fun while your at it!  You may be starting from here at my blog, Lori Mueller - Stampin' Dreams, or you may have come here from the very talented BJ Peters' 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.

I'm going to warn you (if you don't already know this about me) that I LUV it when Stampin' Up! introduces a stamp set that is bundled with a coordinating set of dies!  **squeal**  I mean, how much easier can papercrafting get?  Plus, it just makes my heart go pitter-patter knowing that there is going something in those set of dies that can be used outside of the box than originally intended.  For this project, I'm featuring the Pansy Patch Suite of products...the Pansy Patch stamps, Pansy Dies, and the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.

For some regions of the United States, summer is quickly coming to a close because the next school season is on the horizon!  GASP!!  For my project, I'm featuring a fun treat package to hand out to teachers, daycare providers, the bank associates that greet me at the drive-up window, and the list goes on.  It's called an Explosion Treat Box and is super simple to set up and put together.

 

 

Plus, this fun project is perfect for helping me use all those beautiful designer series papers I have in my stash.  The Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper is full of color to hold this yummy Star Cookie!  This little treat box only requires 4 score lines using the Simply Scored Tool, no cutting, and loads of fun choosing which Pansies you want to die cut to decorate your box top.  To top the charts using Stampin' Dies...I'm showcasing the following — Stitched So Sweetly largest scallop die for the box top, the Tailor Made Tags Dies for the sentiment, and of course, the Pansy Dies to cut flowers directly from the Pansy Petals Designer Series Paper.  LOVE!!

 

The best part about the Pansy Petals Designer Series paper pack—it includes all of the 2021-2023 In Colors, so the possibilities of color combinations is almost endless!  So. Much. Fun!!  AND, you can get it on sale during the Stampin' Up! Designer Series paper sale...now through August 2, 2021.  Don't miss out stocking up so that you can make lots of these explosion treat boxes.

For all the details and step-by-step instructions on how to create this fun Explosion Treat Box, watch the video tutorial I've created and posted on my YouTube Channel — Stampin' Dreams—Lori Mueller.

As I was looking through the January-June 2021 Mini catalog to see which sets and/or bundles I was going to miss A LOT, I stopped flipping the pages when I came across the Snailed It Suite on pages 54-55.  I think those snails are just so darned cute!  I've made quite a few projects using the stamp images, but the Snail Dies make creating a card super quick and easy to cut coordinating images from the Snail Mail Designer Series Paper, too.

There's a new inking technique that I wanted to try using Rubbing Alcohol and Stampin' Up! Reinkers.  The result is really cool and guarantees that you'll never get the same result twice...making your handmade card even more unique!

I tried several different methods and means to create a 'smooshed' background look.  The Vellum cardstock produced a nice subtle smoosh look, but you have to work fast because the rubbing alcohol made the Vellum curl up.  I may have squirted a bit too much, too.  The Window Sheets produced more of a wet mash of ink...the colors blended a bit too much for me.  My favorite was the shimmery Pearlescent Specialty Paper.  It was a nice surprise to see the shimmer from the specialty paper transfer over to the Basic White cardstock layer. 

Vellum 8-1/2" X 11" Cardstock

[101856]

$10.00

Pearlescent Specialty Paper

[154291]

$4.00

Window Sheets

[142314]

$5.00

If I had used less squirts of rubbing alcohol on the Vellum, I'm certain I could leave to dry and use on another card.  The nice thing about the Window Sheet is that you can wash/rinse it and reuse for mass production. 

 

Buuut, the Pearlescent Specialty Paper won my vote as I was able to use it on another card as soon as it dried.  **squeal**  I demonstrated this card and how to create the fun alcohol and reinker background during my Sunday Stampin' Dreams online card class.  You can catch the replay here

Happy Memorial Day!  Today, we commemorate the lives of many heros who fell in the line of duty protecting our country from harm and ensuring our freedoms.  Thank you...we will never forget you!

The Color & Contour stamp set with coordinating Scalloped Contours Dies sets the tone for this Red, White & Blue Thank You in recognition of our wonderful veteran heros. I was inspired from a card found in our new Annual catalog focusing on our Blending Brushes to add gradients of color. 

After die cutting the Scalloped Contour frame, I used a scrap piece of paper to create my gradient layers with a Blending Brush and Real Red ink.  A sheet of small Grid paper helped me ensure my lines would be straight across and not "kitty-whompus".  The flower image was inked with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink with the speckles stamped as a second rendition with Misty Moonlight ink.

There's a new pack of paper that is sooo pretty!  Its the Gold & Rose Metallic 6" x 6" Specialty paper and I couldn't pass up adding it to the Misty Moonlight card base.  It also stands as a scalloped circle matte behind the clear embossed sentiment on Vellum cardstock.  Just the right amount of bling.  The coloring options are endless to create something for any occasion.

I demonstrated this card and Blending Brushes gradient technique during my Sunday Stampin' Dreams online card class yesterday.  You can catch the replay here

Good morning stampers and paper crafters!  Welcome to our May One Stamp At a Time (OSAT) Design Team Blog Hop.  My name is Lori Mueller (stampindreams.com) and I'm excited for your visit.  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 project(s), click on the next person in line within the list of blogger's posted at the end.  We've got some amazing projects to share with you!

Our May theme is "Mash Up", which is to use products that carried over from the last catalog with products in the new annual catalog.  Let me introduce you to my Color & Contour card.  This set comes from the new Annual catalog and has a coordinating Scalloped Contours Dies set.  I'm excited to share with you how I how put this beauty together.

The Cinnamon Cider card base and color palette of Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight, Blushing Bride and Petal Pink are all carry-over from the last catalog.  The flower images, sentiment and gorgeous Hand-Penned Designer Series paper made their debut in the new 2021 Annual catalog.  I covered the front of the cardbase with a multitude of 2nd rendition stamping using the splatter image in the Color & Contour stamp set.  This set includes several 2-step stamping images, which makes it easy to add color if you don't have any of the other means of coloring tools (Watercolor Pencils, Water Brushes, Stampin' Blends, etc.).  Because I love layers and dimension, I added some new Pale Papaya & White 1/2" Ribbon behind the Highland Heather Scalloped Contours die.  The 2-step flowers were arranged in a bouquet, of sorts on the die.

The lovely sentiment was inked with Cinnamon Cider and die cut with a Layering Circle Die; then, set in place with Stampin' Dimensionals.  I have to tell you, while creating this card, I was smelling the wonderful fragrance from some cut fresh flowers from my Uncles garden!  So beautiful!

---

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, 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!

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 my online shop, I literally did a happy dance when 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'm very passionate to share my love for papercrafting with you.

Stampin' Dreams Online Product List

Hello stampers and crafty friends!  Today our amazing Creative Inking designers have created an inspiring group of projects themed as "Summer Fun".  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.

There are TWO new animal sets available in the new 2020 Annual catalog that I really wanted...Zany Zebras and Way To Goat, but was limiting myself to only purchase ONE.  ugh!!  They are both fun and whimsical.

 

I decided to grab the Zany Zebras stamp set first, partly because they were on the page previous to the Goats.  haha!  My vision was to create some fun birthday cards, as well as, some really cute thank you cards.

 

 

I also fell in love with the new Paper Pumpkin Summer Nights Add-On cards and envelopes pack that was just released.  You have to be a current Paper Pumpkin subscriber to purchase these.  I've seen a sneak peak of the August Paper Pumpkin kit, so I highly recommend you subscribe...especially, so you can get yourself a pack of these beautiful card bases to play with.  You get 24 cardbases and envelopes (8 each of 3 patterns), all for 10 bucks!

 

I decided this sentiment could be a subway to the interpretation of "Thank You".  I have it popped up on a couple of punched Medium Daisies for some added fun to the arrangement.

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 Annual catalog products.  If you wish to start creating my project, you'll find the ingredients listed below.  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 "New Annual Catalog Favorites" creations using supplies from any of the current catalog 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.  :)

Happy Memorial Day stampers!!

Today, I'm sharing a card I created in remembrance and honor of our America's heroes.  I used the retiring Thank You Die as my focal image, as it says it all on a day like today.  It's not always an easy task for me, but I was able to create a nice, clean and simple layout that would fit more of the casual stamper category.

With the help of a couple of Sponge Daubers to create a simulated American flag, I sponged on some Night of Navy and Real Red ink in a swirling motion to a piece of Whisper White cardstock.  I die cut the Thank You from the sponged piece, plus, die cut two more Thank You's from regular Whisper White cardstock.

I glued all three Thank You die layers to each making sure to stack them with the sponged layer on top.  This technique adds dimension and the look of white chipboard.  I die cut a couple different sizes of Stitched Stars from Vellum cardstock and set in place on a Whisper White cardstock layer that was embossed with the Brick & Mortar 3D embossing folder.  I'm super sad the Whisper White 5/8" Flax Ribbon is on the retirement list...I use that stuff A LOT!  My favorite part is to separate the long strands and use them to add a bit of rustic feel to my creations.

A few Rhinestone Basic Jewels adorn the final step to bring all of the elements together on this day of remembrance.  God bless the Red, White and Blue!  Thank you to all those that risked their life for me to live life freely.  I'm sooo-so thankful; you will never be forgotten!

Click the video to see the step-by-step tutorial.  I started the card demonstration at about 7:30 minutes into the recording.  Enjoy!

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.

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.

 

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.

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.

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.  :)

RETIREMENT LIST COMING SOON!!

 

You'll want to stock up on all your favorite soon-to-be-retiring In Colors.  Details are noted in this post with a full inventory list of what products include these colors.  Don't miss out...especially the reinkers!

Here it is, April with Spring-time temps.  With the current health situation hitting the world, it's hard to decipher if the days are migrating at a turtle's pace, or in some ways continuing the fast pace as always.  The weather is getting nicer, my daffodils are blooming, the grass is growing green and even though I'm spending more hours at home, my list of projects to complete is still staring me in the face.  I know it's a difficult time for everyone, but I know we are all getting along as best we can!

So far our family is staying healthy and safe.  My husband and I haven't spent 24-hour periods together beyond the weekends.  So far, so good!  haha!  Buuut, our daughters are both in the medical field; therefore, are listed as first responders to the needs of patients in hospitals, therapy clinics and long-term facilities.  Please keep them in your thoughts and prayers for safe measures.  I'm a hugger, which is the hardest part of this new way of living for me.  For now, we do 'air hugs' standing 6 feet apart.

I'm sooo thankful to have my happy stamping business!  It's always a great release to help me re-focus my anxious energy—the best (and safest) therapy sessions.  Plus, I get all the joy knowing that I can help others enjoy beautiful colors, projects and a little fun!

Check out a recent card and coordinating gift box I made during my online Facebook Live session yesterday.  It uses the brand new, early released, Ornate Garden Suite.

I love the Victorian-styled Designer Series Paper — filled with a retro 70's flower patterns that are just what we need to welcome Spring into our day! (full supply list shown below)

Oh my goodness!  Have you seen it?  Stampin' Up! has decided to release a fabulous suite of brand new products—EARLY—called Ornate Garden Suite.  It's a vintage, floral suite with a cheerful spring theme, plus the variety and scope of its beautiful, coordinating products.

The lovely floral patterns in the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper remind me of the Victorian era.  If you love sparkle and elegance, you'll find it with the gold foil accented paper, gems, and shimmery ribbon. I'm certain you’ll love what you can do with this versatile collection. My favorite is the ability to pair any of the sentiments to express my gratitude for others in each of my projects.

To inspire my crafty friends across the miles and team members to stamp and create, I posted a Color Challenge.  It included six different colors from Stampin' Up!'s color families:  Terracotta Tile, Grapefruit Grove, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight, Coastal Cabana, and Bermuda Bay.  Their project could include 1 color...or all 6 that would include ink, cardstock, designer papers, ribbons and accessories.  Once the project was done, then upload to share with everyone.

Since Terracotta Tile is listed as one of the coordinating colors designed in the Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series paper, I wanted to see if I could incorporate 2 other colors from the color challenge — Daffodil Delight and Coastal Cabana.  I just love the Gold Foiled patterns that open themselves up for any color combinations you choose.

NEW VIDEO:  How to use a color challenge with Ornate Garden Specialty Designer Series Paper

I did an online stamp class demonstrating the details of my card during a Facebook Live (Lori Dreams Stampin).  Click and Subscribe to my Youtube Channel—I'm working diligently to upload more of my live online classes  If you are needing any supplies I've used, they are all listed at the end of this post.  I am sooo grateful to you for shopping with me.
