Hi everyone!
Boy have I been scrambling to get some cool samples ready for you this week as we have ourPapertrey Ink countdown! Countdowns, for me are now busier than ever as I work hard to design my projects, as well as share some sample ideas daily, using my monthly release of My Timeless Templates. If you are new to my templates-read all about them here! AND make sure you try the 2 FREE downloads 😀
If you have tried them, thank you! I get so excited with each release, and seeing what you all do truly makes my day.
This month is another exciting one. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
Introducing my newest template from My Timeless Templates ©!
It is called the Take Long Tote© This template will be available for purchase on the 15th.
It is a perfect holder for all those beautiful cards we all make! With 2 pockets to hold your cards/envelopes or whatever else you can dream up, it the perfect tote for anyone. YES! This fits your standard A2 size creations.
Keep reading.
This template works perfectly for this months stamp set release, which I am so excited to be peeking today as well, called Simply Stationery. It was designed by Candice. It is a set that is so up my alley, as I adore making card/stationery sets for people. (Justa in case you didn’t notice.)
This set I made was created using the DELUXE Stationery Kit. I hope you like it.
You can never have too many card holders. As the days go on I will of course give you other ideas for this template too.
Stationery and cards are always the perfect gift, that keeps on giving. Having a perfect, easy to make package, to coordinate is a huge bonus, and really completes the package. It is so nice to have a variety of ways to present/store all your beautiful creations.
I decided use Black, Pure Poppy , Ripe Avocado, and white .
Now upon looking at this set, one of the images caught my eye. It is a flower-like flourish. To me, it was just like my favorite flower-a tulip. I had to use it as my main focus.
Close up view of the tag
My tag uses one of the sentiments in the stationery set.
Now the “with appreciation” is from Mixed Messages. The circle border is from Borders & Corners.
I added the flower element to tie the set together. I love how it can showcase your gift set is handmade.
Now inking my flower with dual inks was very easy.
I inked just the stem in Ripe Avocado ink.
Then I used the shape of the ink pad to ink just my blossom in Pure Poppy.
Stamped where desired. It went very quickly.
Now for the tag part.
I made my tag using the Labels 1 nestability, and a rectangle scallop border!
Here is a visual:
My white stamped tag was about 1 1/2 inches wide, then I die cut it.
Layered the tag piece, with the scallop border for the bottom. Punched a hole, and had a elegant tag for my stationery set.
Getting an elegant tag is easy peasy!
This is a side view of the Take Along Tote ©
As you can see, it has 2 pockets. One on the front, and one on the back. The choice of 2 is of course optional.
The front panel holds my stationery sheets from the Deluxe Stationery Kit. I folded mine in 1/2 like a card.
Here are the cards out of the pocket-
As you may notice I did a scalloped panel. I stamped the flower along that panel for a pretty simple touch.
I TRULY love this set
Now the back panel -this holds my stamped envelopes to match.
See the envelope corner?
A stamped envelope is a little touch that can really make a big difference.
Here is a closer view of the card set all tied together: simple elegance
Now un-clip the top of the tote, and inside you can hold even MORE fun items.
Note: I just added 2 punched circles, stamped to match to make my clip (by making memories-as are the page pebbles that are in the center of my “with appreciation elements) a perfect closure for my tote. You can always punch a handle in the tote, or use ribbon etc, as you will see over the next few days here.
Tote open to reveal inside storage
I decorated the little tin to match, to hold stamps for mailing.
Inside this one I decided I would cover a note pad (I got a set of 6 at Staples for about $2). It has a magnetic closure. Designed to match perfectly, of course!! Very easy. This will help someone jot down any important reminders and such.
I also included a pen in the set as well, with a little cardstock pen holder to match.
Isn’t that a nice surprise? Not only do you have two pockets as an option, but you can open it up for another great surprise, and more storage!
Well, that is it for me . I had so much fun making this. I hope you enjoyed my peek at the new stamp set, and md my latest template release!

~K
Wow! Love it! You are so talented!
wow! great work as always. You are so detail oriented, and I love it. I am too, but often my lack of patience gets in the way. 🙂 Could you post a pic of an unaltered notebook from Staples so I know what to look for? Again, great job! Thanks for the chance to win!
Lauren, you make beautiful and elegant projects so easy. This looks like another template that I will need to get. Absolutely stunning. Congratulations Lauren!
Lauren –
This is an amazing project! I can’t wait to attempt it myself. Your template looks very cool and I can’t wait to purchase it!
Thanks for sharing all of our creativity,
Kimberly
I am really loving the black and white. I used a couple of your templates for teachers gifts over the holidays, and I got a lot of positive feedback. (I felt a little guilty, and I actually told them you were the designer, although none of my son’s teachers are crafters). It looks like I am going to have to try this template as well. Also, Nichole sold me on your stationery template, so that will also be in my box on the 15th.
I love this project! You are so talented!!
This is such a wonderful project, so classy. I am having a ball with your templates. You are sooo creative. Thanks so much for the opportunity to win your yummy goodie, here.
Looking forward to getting this template it is a great idea, well done! Also love the colours you used to make your set.
Oh, this is completely beautiful! I can’t wait to get this template too! :o)
This is beautiful! I love all your projects! I really like the white scalloped border with the “tulip” stamped in red and green. It was so clever of you to turn that stamp into a tulip. Also very clever to use the Labels I die to make your tag. You are so inspiring!
WOW, this is so beautiful! Such a clever idea! Loved the colours used and it is such a practical gift!
What a beautiful project! This will be perfect for a friend of mine; I’m so going to steal this idea!
Love this template – can’t wait to get it and put it to use!

I just love ALL of your creations!
Your creations are like flowers ……never ending blooms!
Lauren, this is simply beautiful! In this day and age, not too many people write handwriten notes anymore. Email seems to be the norm. With this idea, I must say, you’ve taken my breath away! What a fun idea. Love your ideas and blog. Keep it up.
Judi
Lauren Love your New Timeless Template!! I have purchased all of them so far and know I’ll add this one to the others as well. Your Project you made using your Timeless Template and the new “Deluxe Stationary Set” is Gorgeous!! I would love to win it! I also appreaciate very much, the chance at your drawing…..Thanks for the Great Inspiration and sharing all your Talent.
Cynde
You never cease to amaze me. I have bought one template and tried the two free ones and they are AWESOME. I used the stocking stuffer for Christmas for my employees and it only took me 3 hours to make (print, decorate, assemble, and fill) 9 stockings. That’s no time at all for a hand made gift. Can’t wait to see your other uses for this template. Have a great day.
Heather J.
That’s awesome !
Pick ME,,,,,, What a fantastic give away….. This is doable so TFS,
As always I love your work. It’s so matched and colorful and joyful. The stationary idea is marvellous since the era of e-mail ofcourse is handy but there is no such feeling as getting a “real” mail in the post.
This is an awesome project – it would be great for my mom or m-i-law or a teacher gift – thank you for all of the awesome ideas!
Another winner this project is so elegant. I will have to buy this template. My Mom still writes to old friends and she would love this set. TFS Ann Lind
Lauren–I am addicted to your blog and your Timeless Templates!! Each month your templates inspire me to take up my supplies and start creating!! Thank You!! Blessings and Hugs!!!
How do you do it? I can’t even imagine having a creative mind like you have. You are truly talented. Thanks for sharing it with the rest of us!
Lauren-You are so clever. Your templates and projects continue to amaze me. You consistently inspire me to try something new.
Wow. I love this project. The color combination is just the right thing for such a great project. Thanks for showing us all the details of how you arrived at your finished project, too.
Soooo beautiful! I love your templates and have used a couple for holiday projects – so easy to use!
I love how you made the tag with the edge of a labels one die. I would have never thought of that. Your new template looks amazing. Can’t wait to see what else you have to share this week.
This is lovely. I am someone who believes in sending out Thank you’s after receiving a gift and this would be a wonderful place to store prepared notes of appreciation.
Wow, what a great give away! Your ideas and creations always blow me away! I’m in complete awe!
Lauren this template and project are amazing – so cute!!!!! And such a different way to present handmade stationery – it’s awesome. Can’t wait until it’s available for purchase!

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me. I am just addicted to your blog. I love watching what you come up with. Happy New Year!!

This project is one of the best I have see you create. The template is going to be great for a variety of projects/gifts. I love the color combination that you used.
Fabulous! I love the templates, but after I see what you create, they are must haves.
It’s a good life!
Terri E.
Lauren, this is so cute. I love your color combination. All I can say is I am speechless with this set.
Beatiful!!! I am looking forward to purchasing this template!
What a beautiful set – lots of neat special touches! Love the tag created with using parts of nesties – ingenious!
Wow–you continue to amaze me with these awesome templates not to mention the projects themselves. Love the way you made the tag, it’s nice to get ideas for varied uses of the tools we already have on hand. Thanks Lauren!
Lauren, Great Job as always! I recently stumbled upon your blog and I LOVE it. You are so inspiring. You are my first ‘stop’ in the morning!:)
This is a great project. You are a wonderful designer with many wonderful talents. Good luck with this realease.
Wow – this is just so elegant! Love the simplicity of the look – right up my alley! Thanks so much for the idea… can’t wait to see what other ideas you have for the tote!
Beautiful, Lauren. I love the way you see things a little differently, making sets so much more versatile (like turning the little flourish into a tulip). The inside of this template would be a great place to keep addresses, too. Then you’re really all set to jot a note to someone on the run. . . or when you’re waiting in a carpool line to pick up the kids. Great idea!
Love the sneek peek of this set!! I am loving your templates and the fact they are so easy!!! Your creation today is simple elegance!
Hope J
I think this is beautiful. You are incredibly talented.
YOur project is BEAUTIFUL! Good luck to all!
Leora

This is so creative! I love the classic, yet functional use of this tote! What a great gift idea!
WOW…this is absolutely fabulous, Lauren!! Such a beautiful gift idea!
Lauren, you are amazing! I love your templates and especially love to see what all you do with them. They are so versatile. Can’t wait to see what else you do with this one. Thanks for sharing.

This is too cute Lauren. What an awesome template to come up with.
That was just way too clever and cute!
This may be my favorite template so far. The colors you used are excellent.

Oh my goodness! This is just amazing!!! Can I live in your brain for like 10 minutes?!?!? You’re unbelievably creative, and I can’t wait to try this template!!!
This project is awesome- the black, white & red colour scheme is very striking! I so agree with you – we can never have too many ways to hold the card sets we make. I can see this template will join “All Boxed Up” at the top of my list of great presentation ideas. Thanks for sharing.

Lauren,
You were BORN with the creative gene!! I love it all. I never have seen anything you do and not liked it ALL. Usually there is some part i would do differently or a different color….but not you. What can I say…I have a bit of a ‘stamping crush’ on ya lol!!
Wow, this is awesome, I love your tag you made with labels 1 and a scalloped rect. die. I would never have thought of that.
WHOA, Lauren! Babe, you blew this release out of the water–this is fantastic–so elegant! I don’t know anyone else who can work under as much pressure as you do and consistently pull it all off with grace and panache!
Lauren, I love visiting your blog for inspiration. Your templates are wonderful. I use to fuse with measurments and scoring to get my boxes and templates just right. You sure seem to have a talent for coming up with fresh new ideas!!!
Beautiful! I love the color combination, it looks so elegant.
I have to tell you… If I won this project (An original Lauren Meader!), I could never part with the cards. Wish me luck!
Cute, cute, cute! I love seeing such different projects with the same stamp set….which looks incredibly versatile. Looks like your template offers a lot of options. I’m looking forward to seeing more!
I have one word for this idea…..speechless……….. This is simply amazing Lauren.
Thanks much
Lauren, your templates just get better and better! thanks for sharing and thanks for the chance to win!!!
