As promised, today I'm sharing more cards using the Note Tag Punch Window Trick.  This time, I'm using the fun and floral Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack.  The catalog does not do this paper justice.  You just have to see it in persona to take in all the pretty patterns included in this pack!

Pretty Petals Designer Series Paper Stack

I decided to keep these cards Quick & Cute, and only added small punched accents with Rhinestone Basic Jewels.  You could easily change out the greeting from the Tin Of Cards stamp set, as it comes with several wonderful choices...truly a must-have stamp set!

My favorite is the Old Olive card and my husband's favorite is the Pacific Point card.  Which is your favorite?

Enjoy~Dawn O

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #138: Bohemian Birthday!

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #138 #dostamping #stampinup

 

138446-Bohemian Designer Series Paper

Today's color combo is inspired by the new Bohemian Designer Series Paper by Stampin' Up! 

Bohemian DSP with Tin of Cards greeting by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #138 #dostamping #stampinup

My card was inspired by fellow demonstrator Georgia Giguere.  I made a few minor changes to her card, but basically I cased her fabulous card.

You might be wondering about the "window" for the greeting.  That's made with the Note Tag Punch.  I have a How'd She DO That? video coming that will demonstrate how to do this cool punch trick.  Susan Campfield shared the trick at a local demonstrator meeting this past spring.  I believe she got the idea from one of her downline.  I love that about the Stampin' Up! community...lots of sharing going on!  

Enjoy~Dawn O

Sheltering Tree Tunnel Fun Fold Card

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! 

Sheltering Tree Tunnel card Fun Fold by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

  • Whisper White cardstock (3-3/4" x 5")
  • Wild Wasabi cardstock (4" x 5-1/4":)

Sheltering Tree Tunnel card Fun Fold by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

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).

Sheltering Tree Tunnel card Fun Fold HSDT video series by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

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

Sheltering Tree Tunnel card Fun Fold by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

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 Thursday Challenge #137: Wild About Flowers

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #137

When I saw this week's Thursday Challenge, I was immediately drawn to the flower pots. So I decided to bring out the new Wild About Flowers stamp set again. 

Wild About Flowers card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #137 #dostamping #stampinup

I like the way the color pops against the neutral background.  The flowers were stamped (colors listed in supply list below), then punched with the NEW 1-1/2" Circle Punch.  Pop up on Stampin' Dimensionals.

Wild About Flowers card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #137 #dostamping #stampinup

Take a closer look...I added a little bit of texture.  Here's how:

  • Start with a piece of 4" x 5-1/4" Crumb Cake cardstock
  • With  4" side against the top of the Simply Scored board.  Score every 1/8" starting at 1", ending at 1-5/8" (total of six score lines)
  • Flip over (this will now be the front of the card)
  • Tie Linen Thread around twice, positioning under the grooved lines

I think it added a nice little touch.  Plus it reminds me of the "siding" in the challenge photo.  So, what do you think...like it?

Enjoy~Dawn O
