June 20, 2015

After last week's Fun Fold Tunnel Card video, many of you said you were planning on making the Sheltering Tree sample I shared in the video.  So I thought I'd share the details with you today.  By the way...thank you for all your sweet comments from last week - they came pouring in and I'm ever so grateful for such awesome readers, subscribers and customers!

View from the top

Remember, you start with just two panels of cardstock measuring 5-1/2" x 8-1/2".  Score one at 2-1/8", 4-1/4" and 6-3/8".  Leave the second one un-scored for stamping (of the inside of the card).

If you want to decorate the inside side panels, the cardstock measures 1-7/8" x 5-1/4" (Wild Wasabi)

The inside stamping was completed before assembling the card.  Watch video for tips on how to do that.

Have fun making your Tunnel Fun Fold cards!

DOstamperSTARS Thank You Cards & Gifts

May 15, 2015

Lately, I've been showered with cards and gifts from my DOstamperSTARS (my Stampin' Up! family)!  First off - getting cards in the mail...isn't that just the best!  Every time I open one of their cards, I'm blown away by their generosity and talents!  Today, I'm sharing them with you.

Last but not least...I received a box of goodies from Laurie Zoellmer.  Not only is Laurie a STAR, but she's my personal assistant (some of you may have heard from her) AND she's a dear friend of mine.  She's going through a lot right now and she definitely should not have been sending gifts to me.  But that's the kind of person she is...amazing!

I've ever so grateful to these gals and all of my STARS. They enrich my life ever so much!

Enjoy~Dawn O

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Color Challenge #132: Work of Art Butterfly

May 14, 2015

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a Color My World challenge.

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Color My World DSC#132 

"Totally Girly" - that's what I thought when I saw this week's color combo.  What's more girly than butterflies and flowers...right?

Work of Art Butterfly punch card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #132 #dostamping #stampinup

The "wavy" image from Work of Art was inked up with Stampin' Write Markers.  Stamp once, and stamp again without reinking. See below for the butterfly feature...

Negative Butterfly Flower Medallion

  • Adhere together Whisper White 1-3/8" Circle & Crisp Cantaloupe Flower Medallion
  • Hold flower punch-out with your thumb and middle finger - at the widest point
  • Slide into Bitty Butterfly Punch while still holding onto it, thumb and finger on either side of the punch (like shown below)
  • Position the flower in the punch while still holding it, so your thumb and finger are aligned about in the middle of the butterfly image (like shown below)
  • And...punch!
  • You might not get it just right the first time, so punch a couple extras.  I'm sure you'll get the hang of it after a couple tries.

Here's the Crisp Cantaloupe version.  Couldn't decide which one I would like, so I made both colors.

We made these cards on Mother's Day when my grandsons were over.  Everyone had something to do...Max and Sam help fold the cards in half and punch the white circles.  Angie punched flowers and negative butterflies.  I did the stamping and voila - it all came together fast!

As Max was helping me write up today's post, he says to me, "These are fun Umma.  You could make a lot of cards using just these three colors.  Well...and white too."

When I asked him which one was his favorite, he replied, "I know pink is for girls, but I like that one the best!"  

I just had to smile!

So...which one is your favorite?  Melon Mambo or Crisp Cantaloupe

Enjoy~Dawn O

Oh My Goodies: Create a Frame Stamp!

May 13, 2015

I'm having a little crush on the Oh My Goodies stamp set lately (did you see Monday's card).  But, as I was looking over the images, I didn't think I'd ever use the phrase, "Live Well, laugh hard, Love Big".  Does anyone ever really say that?

However, I really like the "outline frame" image and thought, "hmm...I wonder if I just cut out the words"?  I know, it's a scary thought, to cut up a stamp.  But I really didn't think I'd ever use the phrase...., so if I wrecked the words, I would be OK with that.  I just REALLY wanted the outline frame image and to be able to use it quickly and easily.  So I did it!  Got out my Paper Snips and snipped away at it.  It's not pretty, but it's functional.  And...I love it!

Cut up your stamps to make them more versatile, Oh My Goodies tip shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup
Here's the results.  I was able to "save" the words.  They'll actually fit back inside the frame, just in case I change my mind (you never know).  Now I can "frame" away.  Imagine all the things you could frame with it!

Oh My Goodies & Beautiful Bunch card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

And then I made a card that I actually didn't frame anything, go figure.  Instead, I paired it with the Beautiful Bunch stamp set and Petite Petals Punch.  Add a greeting and you're ready to go!  

Oh My Goodies & Beautiful Bunch card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

The paper is from the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack again (from the Occasions Catalog, ending June 2nd).  I couldn't decide on the card layout...landscape or portrait?  So I made both.  Which do you prefer? 

Oh My Goodies & Beautiful Bunch card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

If you take a closer look, you'll see the centers of the flowers are "dots" from the Cupcake Builder Punch.  They are a nice addition. 

Enjoy~Dawn O

Oh My Goodies: Happy Umpteenth Birthday

May 11, 2015

Oh My Goodies!  I think this stamp set was designed as tags for goodies/treats.  But I'm lovin' it for cards right now. Plus, I think "Happy Umpteenth Birthday" is funny, and so did the gals at my Card Buffet class, as this card was a huge hit! 

Oh My Goodies card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

The pattern paper on this card is from the Stacked With Love Designer Series Paper Stack.  Even though it's designed for a "love" theme...remember to "flip it over" and you'll find all the backsides are black and white, giving this paper lots of versatility!

With a color scheme like this...I think this card would be great for both guys and gals, and even teenagers...don't you think?

Oh My Goodies card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

Look really close...closer!  Do you see the staple (under the twine)?  Yup - again with that Handheld Stapler, Dawn!  That's right - it's my favorite tool right now.   And it's my favorite way to add Baker's Twine.  Just lay a piece a twine across where you want it.  Staple it down.  Then tie a bow.  I'm finding it much easier to tie a bow, as the staple keeps it in place, yet allows me to slide the finished bow left or right, for perfect placement.  Give it a try, I think you'll like it.  Don't forget to add the Silver Mini Staples to your order too.

Have a Happy Day~Dawn O
