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.

Happy Stamping!

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.
