Lovely Arrangements Stamp-a-Stack

 Hello, my stamping friend!

Last Friday and Saturday I hosted my in‑person Lovely Arrangements Stamp‑A‑Stack, and it was such a joy. The event was a huge success — we created eight stunning, all‑different cards, each showcasing unique techniques, folds, and styles ranging from quick‑and‑easy to wonderfully over‑the‑top. We also made a beautiful coordinating purse, and everyone received an exclusive matching gift favor to complete the collection.

Today I’m excited to share one of the card designs from the class. This one was packed with fun techniques — a stenciled background, scalloped edges, soft sponging, and layered details that make the whole card come alive. The Lovely Blossoms Suite makes designing so effortless and inspiring.

If you missed the live class, you can still enjoy the full experience at home.

Only 2 To‑Go Kits remain, and they include all the pieces, instructions, and special touches that made this class so memorable.

APPT January Blog Hop

Hello, my stamping friend. 

Thank you so much for stopping by today. I have two projects to share with you from the January Paper Pumpkin kit. I created a box and a card, both inspired by the gorgeous envelopes in this month’s kit. The whole kit has so many possibilities, but the envelopes truly stole my heart, so I decided to build my projects around them. 

I cut one envelope into three pieces. The front of the envelope, along with the printed label, became the focal point for my box. The back panel of the envelope was used on my card, and the decorative flap was adhered to a Basic White envelope to dress it up. I love how much beauty you can get out of just one envelope.

The card design is very simple, and I especially love the blue flowers included in the kit. I ended up not using the flower on my original card from a kit, but it’s such a pretty element. The label on the card is cut from the add‑on dies and mounted onto Basic Beige cardstock with a small strip of Blueberry Bushel for contrast.  

For the box, I used a full piece of Blueberry Bushel cardstock. I scored it at 1 1/4" on both short sides and at 4 3/4" on both long sides. The finished box fits all the cards perfectly, and it’s incredibly simple to make. It would also be wonderful as gift packaging. 

Thank you again for visiting today.

Team Stamp It Valentine Blog Hop

 

Hello, my stamping friend!

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I have a quick but very impressive Valentine’s card to share with you. It’s one of those fun folds that looks complicated but comes together in minutes. This design is sure to put a smile on the recipient’s face.

For this project, we’ll be using the Endless Love Bundle along with coordinating Designer Series Paper, ribbon, and embellishments. It’s playful, interactive, and perfect for Valentine’s Day. Let’s get started.

Measurements:

• Real Red CS: 4 1/4 x 11"; 7/8 x 2 3/8"; piece for die-cutting
• Basic White: 3/4 x 2 1/4"; 1/2 and 3/4" strips, 4 x 5 1/4" 9for inside)
• DSP: 1 x 4; 4 x 4";

Instructions:

1. Start with a 4 1/4 x 11 piece of cardstock. Score it on the long side at 4 1/4 and 5 1/2 inches. Fold the card in half so the smaller flap is on the left
2. On the 4 1/4‑inch section, score diagonally from the bottom left corner to the top right corner. Fold that diagonal section down to create the funky fold.
3. Take a 4 x 4 piece of Designer Series Paper and cut it diagonally from the top right to the bottom left corner. Adhere each triangle to the two diagonal sections of the card front.
4. Add a narrow strip of DSP to the spine of the card.
5. Stamp hearts in Real Red on a piece of Basic White and adhere it inside the card. Apply glue to the spine piece and close the card so everything lines up neatly.
6. Die-cut a large heart from Real Red cardstock. Randomly stamp small hearts on it for texture.
7. Stamp your sentiment in Real Red on strips of Basic White. Add Dimensionals and adhere it across the heart.
8. Cut a doily in half and adhere it behind the bottom of the heart for a soft layered look.
9. Add the heart to the lower triangle of the card front using Dimensionals—only on the section that will attach to the triangle so the card can still open properly.
10. To create the stopper, adhere a 3/4 x 2 1/4 piece of Basic White to a slightly larger Real Red layer, add with dimensionals inside the card. Die cut “XO” twice and adhere it to the stopper.
11. Finish with a few embellishments and a bow

Your card is ready. Isn’t it pretty? Thank you so much for visiting my blog today. I hope this project inspires you to create something sweet for someone special.
