What people are saying about Stampin' Up!'s NEW ONLINE CLASS...

"I knew that as an experienced stamper the technique instructions would probably be below my skill level (*smile*), but I also thought that I am always interested in picking up new tips and tricks that maybe I didn't know about (or had forgotten). I also thought that the projects would more than likely be quick and easy to do (which I love), but still have that classy SU! flair....I wasn't disappointed on that! I found 3 or 4 cards right away that I can't wait to get into my stamp studio and CASE! So at this point I would have to say that this class would be a gold mine for new stampers, and that there is still plenty to get this "old" stamper excited too!! ;-) I also feel that the content is well worth the price!" - from June F

Quick & Cute: Birthday Cake Card with Woohoo Single Stamp!

February 28, 2013

Oh my gosh!  I've been ichin' to put ink to the new fresh and fun Woo Hoo Single Stamp (132661).  I'm just giddy over this Quick & Cute card.  I think it turned out really cute! Take a look...

Also, as I was making this card, I stumbled across a fun and kind of retro color combo.  Reminds of colors from the 50's.  Fun, isn't it?!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Video: Easy Sale-a-Bration Petite Treat Box

February 25, 2013

If you're on my newsletter list (which is different from my blog email subscription list), then you just received my Week#5 of my DOstamping 6-Weeks of Sale-a-Bration Inspiration Newsletter.  It included a written tutorial for an adorable Petite Treat Box, created by my friend, Tammy Fite.  

I was so taken with these cute little boxes that I put together my own version of the Petite Treat Box, along with a short video tutorial.

How cute are these?  Super cute!!  They hold a fun-size Twix candy bar...my favorite!  You only need a 4-3/4" x 4-1/4" sheet of card to make this sweet Petite Treat Box (say that 3 times fast)!

Get out your Simply Scored Tool and follow along with my How'd She DO That? video below.

Simple But Wow Serene Silhouettes

February 18, 2013

Today I'm sharing a card I made for a swap I participated in at the Stampin' Up! Leadership Conference last month. This Serene Silhouettes card is my kind of card...Simple But Wow.  I know many of you like cards like this too.  So I know you're gonna enjoy today's card!

stampin up, dostamping, dawn olchefske, demonstrator, serene silhouettes, big shot, argyle TIEF

This card was a big hit with my customers this past fall.  It's monochromatic color scheme, with a touch of bling (rhinestones in the center of the flowers - I know,hard to see) make this card a winner!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Valentines with Max & Sam

February 14, 2013

Happy Valentines Day!

I thought I'd share some pictures of our fun day of creating Valentine Cards & Treats with our grandsons Max and Sam. 

Here's the gift for their teachers.  A sweet little Petal Cone Takeout Box filled with candy.

The Crumb Cake box is wrapped with a strip of Pretty in Pink from the Subtles Collection DSP Paper Stack (117152) and the new 3/8" Melon Mambo Striped Organdy Ribbon (129293)

 

Here's Max's Valentine Treat and Card.  Yes, he insisted on a card with his treat pouch

stampin up, dostamping, dawn olchefske, demonstrator, valentine, sent with love promotion, wacky wishes, treat bags, petal cone die, big shot

Together we made 24 sucker holders using the Petal Cone Die.  The "please deliver" is from the new Sent with Love Promotion.  The "Happy Valentine's Day" greeting is from the hostess set, Wacky Wishes (126410w or 126412c)

Here's Sammy's Treat Pouch

Sam made 14 treat pouches using a 4"x6" Cell Bag, with a laser-cut heart from More Amore Designer Series Paper.  The postage stamp square is stamped from the Sent with Love stamp set and the Valentine ticket is from That's the Ticket stamp set (128072w or 128075c)
