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!

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!

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?

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

Gorgeous Grunge with Lovely Amazing You Photopolmyer

May 08, 2015

I'm enjoying the Lovely Amazing You photopolymer stamp set (released Feb 2015).  It's not in the current catalog, but is available for at least a couple more months,  This great set is just what you need to spread happiness to all.  In fact, it could even be used to send good wishes for Mother's Day.   

Feb Photopolymer Release of Lovely Amazing You card created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup 

This card was one of the favorites at my card buffet classes.  It features a fun "colorblock" look that is great for a Quick & Cute card (QC).  See below for measurements to create your own colorblock feature.

Color Block Feature 

  • Basic Black panel (2-3/4" x 4")
  • Whisper White greeting panel (2" x 1-3/8")
  • Whisper White feather panel (1-5/8" x 2-1/2")
  • Stacked With Love DSP panel (2" x 1")

The "splatter" was created by inking up a very small section of one of the stamps from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set. 

Have a Happy Mother's Day~Dawn O

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Color Challenge #131: Celebrate Today Bundle

May 07, 2015

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a Home Sweet Home challenge.

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Home Sweet Home Challenge DSC#131

As I looked at this week's Thursday Challenge inspiration photo, I saw four different ways to go: Butterflies, the color scheme (red, blue, green), coffee cup or circles.  I went with circles, Balloon Framelits to be specific.

Celebrate Today Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #130 #dostamping #stampinup

I have to admit, I didn't think I needed the Celebrate Today and Balloon Framelit Bundle from the  Occasions Catalog.  But when I saw that it carried over into the new 2015-16 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog (yep - demonstrators got to see it last week!!!) - I thought, OK, I'll get it! I inked it up right away and I'm lovin' it!  

  Celebrate Today Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #130 #dostamping #stampinup

This card is for my grandson Sam, who is turning six later this month.  All little kids like to see their name on things.  So I thought that was a nice addition using the Little Letters Thinlits Dies.  I couldn't decide which color to use, so I used all three.  I think he'll like it!

The colors I used were taken from the Birthday Bash Specialty Designer Series Paper (ends June 2nd) - Bermuda Bay, Calypso Coral & Crushed Curry.

Enjoy~Dawn O
