Well are you loving all the goodies this month?
I have been DROOLING reading about all your yummy treats you give around the holidays! I may have to hit some of you up for the recipes 😀 If you don’t mind 😀 The template winners will be posted tomorrow 😀
Well today we have a group post. This is the first set this year from Allie Miles. It is called Communique Curves & Sentiments. We were asked to take this set and show you two variations of the same card! So, basically create a holiday card, then an everyday type of card.
Here is my set: Happy Holidays Duo
I love how you can use the same layout, then by swapping out the images, and changing the colors, you get a totally fresh and new look! You really can get lots of mileage out of stamp sets when you have a few key layouts! Just keep re-using them, and changing different elements! This also shows you don’t need a ton of supplies to make great looking cards.
Here is Tis the Season
The main layer is a tag I cut. This is a very basic layout that can serve circle, heart, or rectangle image centers!
I used various copic markers in shades of green to color my snowflake style tree. Quick and cute!
Supplies:
Stamps: Communique curves & sentiments
Cardstock: New Leaf, Pure Poppy, White
Patterned Paper: Bitty Dots
Ink: Black & Copic
Ribbon: Pure Poppy twill & Saddle stitch
circle punches
Now keeping with similar elements, we move on to a birthday card.
I colored my paper to match
Again dotted paper, tag center, everything exactly the same, except my image and colors.
Fun huh?
Supplies:
Stamps: Communique curves & sentiments
Cardstock: black, white, raspberry fizz, orange zest
Patterned Paper: Black & white basics
Ink: black, rspberry fizz, orange zest, avocado & copic markers
ribbon: stitched grosgrain
circle punches
Be sure to check out what the team has done:
Now I have another fun post to share!
How about another template peek?
This was a quickie. Sorry I’m going to be brief. I’ve been sick the last few days and the worst of it is really hitting me now. I feel like I have sinus infection. Not fun. OK enough about me and my drama-just note I typed this on lots of cold medicine so I apologize in advance if its a bit “all over”. I’m doing my best.
Happy Everything
Here we have another version (the standard size) with newest template (releasing on the 15th) Time for Take Out. I can’t tell you how fun this little box is! You may recall I used it for my daughter Amber’s birthday party —->HERE! I didn’t show any details yet, but I loved it and had to use it early! It can be hard sitting on some great template ideas for so long! Keep in mind I still have like 40 templates you have yet to see. So, when I need one and it fits, it can be hard not sharing what I made. I’m sure you can imagine being in a constant state of suspense. It gets exhausting! LOL!
I so loved this patterned paper I had in my stash. The colors were SO cheery. So I went with that, for the sentiment “happy everything”.
I added some paper flowers, and buttons around the box. Both sides of this box are ALWAYS designed to look the same. Its just one of those templates that you should try to make pretty no matter WHAT way you turn it.
I was thinking cheer up, new apartment, everyday sort of gift box. Maybe put some treats in there, with a gift card or a gift of tea, maybe even candles, or tea lights…..warm slipper socks! I love those. Just a warm gesture of friendship.
Supplies:
My Timeless Template: Time for Takeout
Stamps: On my Couch, Around & About sent.
Cardstock: Kraft, White, Enchanted Evening
patterned paper unknown source
Ink: Enchanted evening, pure poppy
buttons
Prima flowers

Second – I love your take on the group post! Such fun cards – especially the birthday one. I love how you color your paper to match. I never think to do that!

Lovely, Lauren! I just love the christmas tree card, its divine!
Wonderful cards and project Lauren, hugs ~ Jennifer 🙂
Oh I do like this post!
The cards are wonderful – it never ceases to amaze me how just by using different papers but the same template layout the cards can have such a different feel.
As my mind is totally in Christmas mode at present my favourite is the Christmas card.
I do love these new stamped sentiments.
Now to the box – it really is jolly and would brighten up anyone’s day.
Hope you’ll be feeling better soon – I have a lot of sinus trouble and I know it’s not good.
Love both the cards adn the box is just so uplifting with the great, bright colors!
Your cards are super cute, I have to have that stamp set. The take out box is amazing you just can’t help but smile when you see it. It is so bright and cheery. Love it!!!!
Feel better. I get sinus infections and they hurt like BLEEP! Question, I love the take out projects and would like to purchase it. I see lots of curves. What kind of tools are needed to get perfect curves? My hand cutting is not that precise. Thanks.
Lauren,
I ADORE your cards! So cute. The colors are awesome adn the tree on your Christmas card is so cute. I am so inspired, I wish I could leave work and go make my own projects! 🙂
Hope you feel better soon.
Your cards are so bright and cheery! Love the idea of coloring the dots in on the birthday background paper too. Feel better soon!
LOVE that box! And all the colors pop so fabulously! Great job!
Love it all, but especially love the little tree on the Christmas card!
Your things are so darling and unique! I read your story about Alexa and I am truly inspired. May God bless you and your precious family!

wonderful projects as always, but most importantly, feel better! big hugs coming your way!
I hope you feel better soon. Amazing projects.
Thank you for another “peek” so cute. I love the cards that you made that set is darling!! I learn so much everytime I read your blog. Your cards are always beautiful. They reflect your creativity and inspire me.
I am praying that you will feel better very soon. I know telling you to slow down is not what will happen, but sometimes God makes us rest.
Take care and take your medicine and some good ole chicken soup!
Feel better soon, it is no fun being sick. Love all your projects. They are very pretty.
I love your cards Lauren. They are so bright and cheerful! Your box is just amazing. Great paper choices and love all the embellishments!
Well, from one currently suffering from a sinus infection and on meds for it, you make more sense than me. Your cards and template are just perfect Lauren! Hope you feel better soon.
Great cards Lauren! I love how you colored the patterned paper to match the “present” on the birthday card! Great layout too!
Get well soon, Lauren!!! Your cards are superb. Your samples for your templates are just out of the world. You do such a fantastic and I look forward to seeing what you come up with each month!! Thank you for all that you do. Actually I am not sure how you do it all but you do it well from what I see.
Fabulous, Lauren. Really cute.
Awesome projects, Lauren!! Hope you feel better real soon!
I’ll add to the sentiments of “hoping you feel better soon” Sinus or other crud is never fun. Especially when you’re the mom and you have soooo much to do.
Second I love your samples for the latest PTI release and I can’t wait for the 15th! Or to see more of your Home Made Template with coordinating stamp set tomorrow! However, I do need a few more hours in MY day so I can get things done, so I won’t ask to speed up time.
Feel better soon.
Hey Lauren ~~ Hope you are feeling better very soon!
Your new templates this month look FANTASTIC!! As I say each and every month, I don’t know HOW you do it or where you get the time and energy. Care to share some of it with me? 😉
Looking forward to all of your releases for the 15th :0)
Once again I am not dissappointed. The box is adorable, if I only had half your talent and ideas I would be one happy person, but I don’t so I will just keep going to you everyday, so don’t stop coming up with the ideas.
Lauren, love this box template and all the wonderful, creative ideas you come up with! How do you do all this when you’re sick! Amazing!! Praying you’re feeling fine soon!!!
Beautiful cards as always, I may need to use that layout of your for my xmas cards! Hope you’re feeling better soon, it seems to be coming and going through all of use these days.
Do you ever sleep??? Great ideas and great work! Love the colors of the cards; bright and festive! You make your art shine!

Life
— By Allan Houston
Life can be good,
Life can be bad,
Life is mostly cheerful,
But sometimes sad.
Life can be dreams,
Life can be great thoughts;
Life can mean a person,
Sitting in court.
Life can be dirty,
Life can even be painful;
But life is what you make it,
So try to make it beautiful.
This is another fantastic blog post what I have read. There are so many tools available that it becomes difficult to know which will work. And how best to use them.
I really like what you have posted here, it is a very well written and great article that gets right to the point. You could use a little reworking of the blog layout though, but the design is overall very nice. Great job, Thanks!
