Well I hope you are all in LOVE with the new releases from PTI! In fact, I think I went a little overboard with samples. Once I got going I could NOT stop! LOL!
I know I had way too much fun to call it “work”! LOL! Well, I guess the work part is the uploading/supply lists. That part isn’t ever fun. I thought you may like to be able to view all my creations here.
I am going to share my projects with you by SET. Here I will include more of a commentary sort of thing, as to my thought’s behind each project. I think this month I had a descent variety of technique’s and styles. I went for clean and simple single layers, to multi layered cards. As always, I had some idea’s for altered items that I so enjoy creating!
I would love to hear your thoughts too 😀 Let me know what set has you in a tailspin, or what samples you like the most.
I have to say the new colors are just scrumptious!!! The photo’s do no justice! I swear.
Pond Life
This set is perfect for a variety of people-boy, dad, and even baby or toddler! I think you will agree when you see the wide variety of samples. I know I always look for more boy/masculine themed sets. This one is quite a bit of BOTH!
Little OneLittle One Stamps- Pond Life, Borders & Corners Circle set, Mixed Messages |
I think this is the cutest card either to welcome a new baby, or for a 1st birthday! Look how sweet the new color looks with the previous release colors! His shell is popped up on dimensonals. I love the little googly eye!! So cute on him. This card was really simple! Hope you like it. I think its in my top 3 fave’s of my own projects for this release. Love the colors.
Hippity Hopping Frog
Stamps-Pond Life
cardstock-PTI select white, aqua mist
ink-palette black, various versamagic inks
other-wire, circle punch, paper piercer, rectangle nestability, bridal confetti
I had so much fun creating this card. The frog appears to leap in air to catch that bug! I just wound some wire around a pencil, and there you have it! I created a lily pad flower using some bridal confetti flower’s colored with my Copic markers. The water was done using 1/2 a circle punch to create “waves”.
I also love the pierced bottom.
Here is a side view
Gold Fish Favor
Stamps-Pond Life, Pond Life sentiments
Cardstock-PTI select white, lemon tart
Paper-Father Knows Best Retro stripes/Lemon Tart retro circles, aqua mist
Ink-white stazon, palette black
Summer sunrise polka dot ribbon
Frosted tin tie bags (small), acetate, pearlescent pastels, circle punches
I made this look just like a little fish bowl! I punched my acetate with a large circle punch. Stamped my fish image in white stazon, then brushed on pearlescent pastels to color! Under the acetate, I used a smaller circle punch to create the look of “water in the bowl”.
Filled the bag with gold fish crackers, and tied closed with my sunrise polka dot ribbon
Fin tastic FishyFin-tastic Fishy Stamps-Pond Life I loved how quick, clean and simple this was. The little fish are trapped in “bubbles”. Makes a great thank you, to mass produce 😀 |
For DadFor Dad Stamps-Pond of Life, Father Knows Best, borders & corners circle set I wanted to create a sunset look, with two ducks, on a pond, side by side. You can see a “shadow” of the second duck swimming next to the front duck. I used glossy paper & a rubber brayer to create my sunset. I love the masculine feel this has. The sentiment from Father Knows Best was perfect.
|
Another one of my favorites!
I found this cool bug catcher at the Target $1 spot. I knew it was begging to be altered! They even had some plastic bugs, that I packaged up, to match! There is a dragonfly attached to the top of the catcher. The wings on the dragonfly are 3D. I felt the sentiment was just perfect for this type of gift.
I packaged the plastic bugs in a PTI clearly creative card boxes! It was the perfect holder. I stamped an insert to place inside.
I then personalized the box of bugs by die cutting the letter “C”, then using my Simple Alphabet to spell the child’s name!
Father Knows Best-
This set is really awesome! Not only does it have amazing images, but some fabulous sentiment’s as well. I was surprised at how much versatility this set really offer’s from fun and whimsical, to elegant. Pretty little girly stuff, to masculine. Hope you like my take on this set’s many options for style’s.
Sweet Birthday WishesStamps-Father Knows Best, Garden of Life, borders & corners square |
I wanted to use the circles from the set to create lollipops, for a “sweet” birthday wish. I went with more circles and sweet colors to keep with that theme.
Looking Up-Retro Tree
Stamps-Father Knows Best
Cardstock-PTI select white, Spring Moss, Berry Sorbet
other-Old olive, choc. chip
Ink-Palette black, Copic marker’s
Other accessories-white singlo gel pen, Spotz Maker, Butterfly punch by Martha Stewart various circle punches & buttons
I wanted to continue the retro feel the circle’s in the tree offered. Using various circles allowed me to not only pull out the colors I used to color my tree, but continue the theme through the card.
The butterfly wings were stamped with the circle, and colored to match! I punched it out, and placed it in the Spotz circle.
Twinkling Tree Shaker Close up
Twinkling Tree Shaker
Stamps-Father Knows Best
card-stock-PTI Select white
other-black, ruby red, copper card-stock
Ink-versamark, black palette
Other-copper embossing powder, heat tool, pearl ex, future floor wax, bridal confetti, copper brads, copper cord, plastic cover
This is an unusual 3D shaker card. Like falling twinkling leaves. The sentiment is stamped directly on the shaker window. Very striking in person. See the side view.
This card came to be from a plastic cover that was on a ceramic coffee mug I purchased. The disposable plastic lid fit right over the top, where a bag of candy was placed. I knew it would make an awesome shaker window! The window pop’s through a piece of black card-stock.
I was first embossed with Copper embossing powder.
I then used my Pearl ex/future floor wax to paint the leaves various colors.
I had some bridal confetti flowers that I colored with my Copic markers, then snipped the petals apart, to make like fallen leaves-they match the tree leaves perfectly!
Now last but not least
Garden of Life
I have a personal belief that there is no such thing as too many flower sets! When I saw this set I went NUTS!!! Nothing is better than MORE flowers! I love how with this set you can use 2-step images or just the bottom or top flower layers on their own. It really maximizes the number of images and uses to me.
Fluttering GardenFluttering Garden Stamps-Garden of Live, Borders & Corner’s square Another top three for ME. Knowing how much I LOVE butterflies What is prettier than butterflies, flying off the card? |
garden grownGarden Grown Stamps-Garden of Life |
This is just a cheery card, where the flower blossom is made to stand out.
I just loved the funky feel this had to it. I made the butterfly the exact same way as the sample above
Spiraling BouquetSpiraling Bouquet Stamps-Garden of Life |
This was just a fun twist on the spot light technique. I thought it was fun to have the spiral floral images, dancing off the mat. Then highlighting parts of the flower’s in color.
Friendship grows
Stamps-Garden of Life, Women of life (friend sentiment)
Cardstock-Summer sunrise, PTI select white, choc. chip
Ink-Choc. Chip, Copic Markers
Patterned paper-Father Knows Best retro leaves
This is such a fun & cheery card for a friend. The patterned paper really pop’s on this one!
I just loved this combo of stamps/paper. I colored in the white space of the flower. It is just SO pretty!!! It makes cardmaking a breeze!
Grow with love
Stamp-Garden of Life
Ink-Choc. chip, Copic markers
Cardstock-PTI select white, choc. chip
Lemon tart twill ribbon
other-paper piercer, Fiskars scallop border punch
Everything grows with love! I adore coloring the centers of this flower. I made pierced stems for this one. The possibilities with this set are endless. These flowers are growing right off the card 😀
Last but not least-
Bloom where planted-side/top view
Bloom where planted gift set- wrapped lotions
Stamps-Garden of Life, Simple Alphabet, Border’s & Corner’s Circle
Cardstock-PTI select white, Summer Sunset
Ink-black palette, spring moss, versamagic thatched straw, and mango
Ribbon-Lemon tart (twill), Summer Sunrise (polka dot/ Satin)
Other-clear plastic gift box, adhesive rhinestones, mailing label, circle punch
Items inside- Herbal diffuser oil with sticks, herbal body wash/lotion
I created this gift container of some relaxing herbal scented wash/lotion which are wrapped together with a stamped band, then tied nicely.
I used my simple alphabet to stamp the label for my diffuser oil, and I also tied together the diffuser sticks.
I love how you can peek through the circle cut out in the front. The other 3 sides are left open. A cute and easy way to package a special hand stamped gift!
Tied the box closed with my polka dot ribbon and done.
Well that is “IT” for my PTI projects today! Where else can you see a post with like 16 project’s in one day? Crazy! This post took forever too. I hope you take away some sort of inspiration.
Thanks for looking/reading.
Alexa has Chemo tomorrow so I may not get something posted. Not sure yet. I am in the process of re-organizing my stuff-YES! AGAIN!!!
What can I say, it increases the MOJO, and curbs spending (I think LOL!).
So till then.

Teresa
WOW!! That’s it…just WOW!! You blow me away!
Well, thank goodness I shopped last night and not after seeing all of these projects or I’d have no room left for StampMania or LAD. 🙂 Definitely got the Pond Life set though and may have to rethink about the tree one. Wasn’t sure what I would do with those funky trees, but after seeing what you’ve done, well……you’ve got me thinking. Good luck tommorrow. Isn’t chemo almost done?
I absolutely love everything you have made Lauren!!!! I cannot wait to get my hands on my new goodies I ordered last night! I’ve got some ideas floating for Pond Life, even before I saw the whole set! Loving the new colors too, can’t wait to get my hands on them!!!
Thanks so much for all you do!!
Lori
My goodness, Lauren! You have been one busy lady!!! I am in love with the way you punched your butterfly over the flower and circle stamps to give their wings a design. Just brilliant! And that bug catcher is so adorable, too.
If your organizing and re-organizing gets your Mojo going, I can only pray my organzing does the same thing!!!
These are awesome, but I have to say the baby card and bug catcher are my favorites!!!
Oh my gosh! One is more beautiful than the other! I kept scrolling down and was disappointed in the end because it was over! The cards seemed to go on forever! You have such talent! Thanks for all the inspiration!
WOW!
You are amazing!! I think I’ve told you that…do you know, though…YOU ARE AMAZING!
Great creations!
Good luck tomorrow with Alexa and the chemo.
It’s been crazy around here and I’ve checked in, but haven’t had time to comment. BUT…I showed you off to a group of grils that were at my house for a meeting yesterday…I felt like a proud mama to you! 🙂
Thanks for sharing!
Lauren, You’re talent never ceases to amaze me! How do you do it! I love all the cards. My favorite is the fluttering garden one. Simple but gorgeous. Loved how you used those Michael’s flowers in so many unique ways! Ann
PTI is so lucky to have you! I wasn’t in love with any of the sets until I can see the versatility in them now because of none other than the wonderful Lauren Meader! 🙂 thanks for taking the time to share so many wonderful projects!
Lauren,
I loved all of your projects but my favorites were the ones using the Garden of Life stamp set. Thanks for sharing all of your projects with us.
Janet

Lauren—AMAZING PROJECTS!!! I wish I had your creativity! I just enjoy casing all your cards and things—I hope that’s OK—I’ll always give you credit when I do! Thanks so much for showing me how versatile all these sets are! WOW!
Good Gravy, Lady! You were so inventive – absolutely delightful! I absolutely adored your turtle and leaping frog card! Will have to rethink my purchase of just the Father Knows Best set now…
Thanks for all of your samples – gorgeous!
Holy cow – I don’t know where to post – all of your creations are amazing! This is my first visit to your blog and it’s already bookmarked and highlighted. Great inspiration, amazing talent – thank you for sharing.
Lauren, I just have to bow in complete awe to you, girl! Your creations are always so unique, fresh and amazing!!! Thanks so much for sharing your immense talent with us!!!
I was totally blown away by each and every one of your simply fantabulous creations Lauren!! Could you please package a tiny bit of your creative genius and pass it my way. Even painting and moving into my new stamp room hasn’t seemed to help finding my creative mojo. You are truly an inspiration to stampers. I was most inspried by the so very colorful tree. Quite a work of art. Thank you for sharing with all of us.
-*Linda*-
OMG! I am going to need help getting my jaw off the floor. I can not believe that all of this creativity lives in one person. You really are armazing. Dont be alarmed when I see you in Manchester and I fall at your feet and start chaning “Im not worthy” 🙂 How is Alexa today? Willl she abe able to have her chemo if she is not felling well? I hope she is better. I thought about her a bunch last night. This nice weather should help get all of the yuck aired out, I hope! Have a nice rest of your day. – Molly B
Oh my goodness! Such amazing eye candy! I ordered the Father knows best and the Pond life sets but was having a little bit of buyers remorse this morning not knowing what I could do with them. You just took all that away! You rock girlie!! Hope Alexa is feeling better today!
I actually wasn’t in love with this release – and then I came here. I am so thrilled that you posted them all together. Really shows the possibilities and now…I’m liking these sets a whole lot more.
One quick question – on the Friendship Grows card….I see more and more cards where there is a “tag” jutting off the edge of the paper. How do you mail this card? I love the look but I’ve never done it b/c I don’t want it to get messed up. KWIM?
Thanks for sharing!
once again you amaze me with everything you do… how many hours are in your day …more than anyone elses i am sure.
you have inspired me to make some more greeting cards… i have been soooo wrapped up in my ATC’s i havent made the time for anything else.

Oh. My. Goodness. I was exhausted just reading the post and looking at all of your lovely projects. I must go take a nap before stamping! Seriously, there are some awesome projects there, missy! You are my hero today!!!!!
WOW Lauren! These are all so fantastic!! You are so creative and inspirational. That is why I love to visit your blog. Thanks for all you do to help us see the ‘vision’.
Holy WOW Amazing! I just can’t afford to stop by your blog any more…you have made me want them all! Fabulous, one after another. Have to go now and wipe up my puddle of drool and see if I can qualify for a bank loan.
Wow! Awesome…each one! You are amazing, girl! I truly don’t know how you do it…but thanks from my bottom of my heart! You are such an inspiration to so many of us!! Blessings, Lauren!!
What a great job you have done. I just want to by all these stamps now!!! Thanks for sharing.
Goodness gracious…I don’t know where to begin. I want to say something about just about every item. I like the turtle colours and layout because it’s so simple and sweet. That frog card is to DIE for!!!!!!! The goldfish package is nice and bright. The loon on the Father’s Day card is fantastic. I love the tree with all the wild circles on it and I like how you added that on the butterfly. The leaves in the shaker card are…..logical….great idea. The Fluttering Garden is fantastic in it’s simplicity. I love them all. Joan
Gosh, Lauren! These are all wonderful….are you sure you eat,sleep and generally do anything but stamp? I envy your time management. Awesome!!
Lauren – Amazing work!!!!! I don’t know how you manage to keep your creative juices flowing while raising that beautiful family of yours! I have trouble keeping up with my three, who always love to climb on my lap whenever I’m sitting in my stamping room trying to work.
I can’t even pick a favorite from all the projects you shared with us… just beautiful!!! Thanks for inspiring us!
OMG girl do you ever sleep??? Love all those projects, especially the bug catcher and the springy frog…Fantastic samples…
You are so amazing! I just love visiting your blog–you are so inspiring with all these wonderful projects. I ordered the Pond Life and Garden of Life sets this morning so I excited to try some new things. The springy frog and shaker window are so special. Guess I need to buy the butterfly punch too—I have started to several times and now it will be a necessity. By the way, how do you mail cards like that? Thanks so much for sharing………..
So many really cute projects!!! That bug catcher set is adorable and I thought the For Dad with the sunset and ducks was really a great polished masculine card.
I saw all your cards on the PTI site and never dreamed they all came from one person. Then imagine my surprise when my Google Reader showed all these one one blog post. Amazing!!!
WOW! I am beyond amazed at all your creativity.
I do have a question. My favorite is the frog and lilypad and I was wondering if you could tell us how you attached the wire to the frog? Love that idea. My second fav is the butterflies. I am hunting a butterfly punch right now for another project, now I must find one for sure!!
Thanks for sharing!!
Alright! This post is amazing! You are so creative! My fav is “Little One”, that turle is just so cute! I like how you popped up the shell. I’ll keep Alexa in my thoughts for tommorrow!
A-MAZ-ING! That is what your work is: amazing. I don’t see how you do it. But you did it again. These creations are jaw-dropping.
I like them all. Each having a very creative detail that sets them apart from anything else. 🙂
Lauren, you go girl!
Lauren – Way Cool!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ordered the garden set and father set. My DH has the quote about photos in your wallet where money used to be framed in our bedroom. I am going to make the wallet card for Fathers day. These are great, so many possibilities. Thanks for posting more of you fab. ideas. It’s like Christmas each month with all the PTI new sets. Thanks for being such a great enabler. Finally starting to look like spring here in NH.
Happy Spring

WOW girl!!! This is some amazing stuff you made here, I can’t pick a favorite sorry! I lu them all!!!
Holy cow, Lauren~ it will take me forever to examine and think about all of these things~ I can’t believe they are all for one release! Wish I’d seen them before I ordered, lol!
I can’t believe how incredibly talented you are! You blow me away every time! Great job.
Incredible! incredible! Where do you come up with all these fantastic ideas? I agonize over one little card for hours. The Lord has truly blessed you. Do you just sit and stare at your creations after you make them? I would. I’d be so proud. Please continue to share your wonderful talent and your generous and loving spirit.
Oh, by the way, where do you find bridal confetti? It looks like it may be the result of a paper punch.
If you could only have heard my cries of excitement when I scrolled down the page of your projects!!!!!!!
Totally amazing! I think these sets were like popcorn to your creative mind!!!!!!!! I love all of them! Thanks for sharing what you did. I am so excited and can hardly wait to get my order!!!!!!!!!
This is so exciting!
You make me want to bounce my checkbook. I love all your cards. Today’s are exceptional. I bet your in stamp heaven. Lizzie Anne releases 4 new stamps and all tonight. I just got my first spellbinder’s. I got the pettite large circles. Man are they interesting in how to make them work. I bought a magnet sheet and for also for the big shot I used the c plate from cuttlebug. Does the cutting and embossing all in one. I got the magnet sheet at Jo-ann with a 1/2 off coupon. Well I just wanted to let you know what I had to do the online directions didn’t work.
Amy
Lauren, I really am in awe. You are the most creative, imaginative, detailed stamper ever! I really hope you know how amazing and how inspiring you really are. I am in love with every card…..and you just reminded me that I do have that Martha butterfly punch….somewhere! LOL.

Wow, so many amazing cards. Girl , you are super talented.

Love the sentiment!

Where do you get your ideas? You are so creative and your “work” is beautiful! I really like how you did the shaker, so smart!
Lauren! I don’t even know where to start! I’m just stunned at each and every one of your projects. Here’s what I LOVE:
The cool ways you used the bridal confetti, especially the leaves in the shaker! Can’t wait to copy that idea! and the way you spotlighted the flowers on the spiraling boquet.
Thanks for the inspiration Lauren!
O.M.G!! *jaw drops*
You never cease to amaze me! Those cards are fantastic!! 😀 ♥
I love your tree shaker a lot, the simple butterfly card too, and of course, I have a big soft spot for all the cards with Pond life because I just LOVE this set and have to have it! 😀 The frog on wire has to be my favorite I think…
AWESOME!
Lauren,
You certainly were busy! Such a plethora of wonderful things. You are such an inspiration.

Wow! You continue to amaze me. You did a great job of enableing me too. I was trying to be good but now I have to have it all.
WOW! My fav’s the “looking up” tree set but I LOVE that “spiraling bouquet” set too! So much to buy, so little time! Thanx for being the constant source of inspiration!
later, alligator!

Lauren, your creations are fabulous. Of all the cards and gifts I’ve seen with the new sets, yours stands out to me. Simply gorgeous. I didn’t want any of the new sets till I saw your cards. The ribbons and cards, yes, but not the stamp sets. I do now. God is in your heart and soul, I’m so glad!

Wow Lauren, you have truly outdone your self!!!!
