Well we are at the FINAL day of samples before theMy Time Made Easy ™ LLC Release tomorrow!!
SO you have finally get everything you’ve seen May 1st.
That just means the beginning of even more samples to follow! We have over a week of even more to share.
Today you can see more fabulous card samples using NEW! Pretty Impressions © images from
Now two of our design team members will be featuring our 3rd template for the month called Pucker Up, and a NEW! Stamp set called Sensational Stems!
Now let me share my samples with you!
A life of purpose
We all did this project at Stamp Around a few weeks ago! I was able to donate a set to each participant!
This sample uses the NEW! Sensational Stems, and Sensational Sentiments. Pretty Printables © paper is the Fresh Flowers Collection.
This is a great sized box for so many gifts and goes together in a snap! It is sure to be one you turn to again and again!
ABOUT: Pucker Up
Completed Project Size
5 1/2 Inches Tall
4 3/4 Inches Wide
2 Inches Deep
This template has a background set called Puckered Up Patterns ©, which make a nice addition to the template. You may also want to check out our Border Builder © Pretty Pieces Cut Files © too! The wrap around those PERFECTLY! And for a whopping $1.50 you simply CAN’T go wrong. The unique part to those is not only can you weld them together, but you can make then wider (and thinner) as well as having a solid mat layering option for each shape, which is another border in itself.
As you can see, I used the layering solid scallop from the Open Scallop Border Builder © Pretty Pieces Cut Files © for the bottom trim on my Pucker Up! Using my cutting machine I welded two of the scallops together, to create a 11 inch strip! I cut two and layered them to go all the way around the template. (All sides of you projects should always look finished!)
The is the perfect flat top/bottom gift box, with a little pucker to it!
( I used the “ladybug” wing prints for my large tupil petals!)
This is a modern spin on the ever popular “pillow box”. My own personal issue with the “standard” pillow box was the inability for it to stand alone, not being able to use decorative trims around the bottom or sides (since they angles would make it crooked!) and for it to hold what I wanted due to the flat angled in side panels too! So problem solved!
(box prior to assembly)
Now another issue I had was the way the side panels folded in, but never stayed closed (unless you used adhesive!).
So, I added another FUN detail…tabs to keep the sides closed, and allow you to easily open either side to get whatever goodness is packaged up in there! NO adhesive needed.
This template comes with the front angles decorative layer, as well as the curvy side panel decorative layers!
This my have a little Pucker to it, but it is certainly the perfect template to package Up something special!
Now, about the stamp set:
Sensational Stems © Set of 27 images $12
This set is also available in a digital download called Sensational Digital Package ©
We have the perfect sentiment set to coordinate called: Sensational Sentiments ©! Wait until you start pairing these two set together!
There is a reason this set is called “sensational”!!
I think you will agree it is! Just in time for summer, this is my own personal favorite collection of images. I love fun and whimsical!
I designed a variety of flowers in various sizes, that can coordinate together with the various stems! It features my favorite flower- the tulip, a dragonfly and a “build a ladybug” image as well! The various antenna can be used on the ladybug, dragonfly or in the tulip centers! You can also use the Polka Dot Ladybug wings and add them to the large tulip flower for a fabulous pattern!
A set of 27 images for *ONLY* $12 is amazing!!
How about seeing some more samples using the Sensational Stems © ?
You Inspire Me
I have to say I LOVE this card!
I really wanted this to look like a little note I had doodled.
So, I printed the College Ruled paper from the Sensational Staples collection, printed at about 3 inches wide.
You will fall in love with the variety of flowers in this set. Having the flowers and stems with a variety of size options makes it all the more versatile! As you can see Sensational Sentiments © is the perfect pairing for this “build a flower” stamp set!
Then I stamped my flowers in the corner, and colored them in. I love the addition of the orange pencil and paper clip in the corners 😀
The sentiment is from Sensational Sentiments ©. Perfect for my DOODLE art. The sentiments have a variety of great fonts used too!
On the green layer I stamped the open line pucker block on the side panel from Puckered Up Patterns. Subtle yet perfect.
I LOVE coordinating new sets with older sets, and with this one I used the butterfly from Just For You, and the swirl from Fanciful Flourishes, stamped in a pale gray color for my flutter trail.
Too fun.
Now we got to clean and simple…..
Cheer Up
To me this is definitely cheery! It would cheer me up on a bad day.
Another combination of sets! This uses the smallest tulip top, and stem from the set as my focal point. The dual color was from using markers 😀 Super easy. The “cheer up” and the ten cents symbol is from the You’ve Got Mail set. Those image blocks from that set would go well with this frame too 😀
I want to share one of the square tags from the Paper Pattern Pieces set, as well as another idea using the ribbon/lace border.
I love the buttons tied to the ribbon/lace borders. Another cute, yet simple detail.
OK one more (for today anyway)
You make me a better person
You know I needed to use purple! My favorite color.
This is a spiral like flower. I love coloring each spiral in 3 shades of the same color. I added adhesive beads and stickles to the centers. This is the other stem that is in the set. As you can see it allows you to layer the variety of petal sizes on it.
Obviously I have favor towards the circular frame 😀 MOST of the sentiments from Sensational Sentiments fit in the circle and square frame, however they all fit in the All Tied Up! cut files 😀
I’ve longed for such a sentiment as this. I think we all have someone in our life that we look up to, brings out the best in us, encourages us, or helps us strive to be the best we can be! For me, that is my husband. He brings out the best in me, and makes me strive to better my best. He is the most amazing person I have ever met! I’m so blessed to have him 😀 (now I need to use this in a masculine card for him! LOL!
Winners for the Day 1 & Day 2 wil be announced later tonight. (I’m actually presposting because its my birthday weekend and I’m spending time with friends and family all weekend, so once I get a spare moment I’ll draw names :D)

Hi Lauren,
Just wanted to pop in and say thanks for the free set at the Stampin’ Around. I don’t need the stamp set should my name randomnly be selected but I just wanted to say U ROCK!
I’m definitely getting the Pucker Up Template it’s awesome.
Great template! I never thought of the fact that a normal pillowbox doesn’t stand up! Cool idea!
Another wonderful template. I can’t wait to start creating with these new items.
This is a fantastic card box (obvious choice) but I can think of hundreds of things I can use it for. Perfect size, once again, for all those smaller gifts and with packaging so pretty, it is sure to be a hit!
Your stamp sets are super fantastic. You seem to have designed the sentiments for ‘all’ occasions and I can see that you have put alot of time and effort in the planning. Well done! and thankyou for continuing to inspire us all.
Love the samples! Have a terrific birthday weekend!♥
LOVE it all! I especially am loving the sentiments! I love sentiments of all kinds with cool fonts! Great additions to your already fab store!
Great projects! Love them all and the sentiments, too. Happy birthday, live it up!
Very unique template and I love the flowers.
You are just amazing! Love the new images and samples.
Hope you have a FanTABuLus birthday!
Debbie Reaves
Happy Birthday Lauren! I was thinking about you today when I has some of the tea that you sent with the tea box holder I won! I was also thinking about your mom and hope she is doing better.
Love all your new stuff! My favorite card is the “doodle card” though! But that purple one with the flowers, the tulip made with the lady bug wings…..I can go on and on. Thanks for all the inspiration.
These are gorgeous! Love the dragonfly!
love what you’ve created especially the card…you make me a better person!
Susan
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Lauren! I love the Puckered Up template, very clever with the tabs, and very pretty! The new stamps look fabulous too!

Have a wonderful birthday Lauren! Mary M
First thing tomorrow will be checking all the gorgeous new releases. Many thanks for the chance of winning!
Lauren, I just love your samples—you always do a FANTASTIC job.
I love your cards, and part of what I like is that they aren’t too cluttered. You keep them simple with only a bit of embellishment. Love your idea for keeping the box closed! You have such clever ideas!
Beautiful samples! I love the pucker up box. What a perfect box for a cute little gift!
I thought all your projects were fantastic – but I really like your “You inspire me” card. So pretty! I really like the little college ruled paper…. I can’t believe how broke I will be with this release! 🙂
More creative projects. My mind is overflowing with ways to use the pucker up box. The grandchildren will love helping me with these.
For someone who doesn’t have a creative mind such as yours, (maybe no one has that kind of mind) these samples are just the greatest. Just seeing each one gets my juices flowing. Thanks so much. Can’t wait til tomorrow.
The projects are very creative and love all the neat ideas too. Thanks for a chance to win. Hugs 🙂
Lots more great stuff – where do all those ideas come from?
Another great one… Love everything… Happy Birthday!!!
Beautiful cards! Love the box! Hope you had a nice birthday!
