DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #206: Christmas Pines Baker's Box

November 09, 2016

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. This week we're having a "Product Spotlight-Packaging Dies" challenge.

For a packaging die, I chose the Bakers Box Thinlit Dies. And it was a good thing, as I hadn't used it yet - yikes. What I discovered was...this box is super easy and comes together really fast.

Cut one sheet of 8-1/2" x 11" piece of cardstock down to two pieces of 5-1/2" x 6" pieces. Die cut 2 box shapes.
Die cut "double circle" at top of each box shape, and die cut window.
Adhere 2" x 2-1/2" piece of Window Sheet to the inside of the box to cover the window area.
Adhere box with Tear & Tape adhesive and fold box together
Fill with treats
Tie off with Kraft Rope Trim

Stamp greeting from Christmas Pines stamp set with Real Red on scrap of Whisper White. Die cut with small "label" shape
Punch 1/16" circle. Thread Candy Cane Baker's Twine thru hole and under/& around rope trim. Tie in a bow.
Die cut pine (Cucumber Crush) and berries (Red Glimmer Paper) using Pretty Pines Thinlits. Adhere with glue dots under greeting.

I'm definitely going to be using the Baker's Box Thinlit Dies more often!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Stampin' Up! Paisleys & Posies Bundle Swap Samples

Paisleys & Posies Bundle samples I received from various swapping opportunities. This stamp set is a modern twist on a classic shape, it's not your grandmother's paisley pattern! Although, I'm sure she'd definitely like it.

Be sure to get to the Paisleys & Posies Bundle soon, as it's a Holiday Catalog product, which ends January 3rd.

Say Thank You with Stampin' Up! Paisleys & Posies Bundle

November 02, 2016

I'm in need of some quick, but cute thank you cards and this monochromatic Paisleys & Posies Bundle card & treat will fit the bill.

You see, exactly 3-weeks ago I had knee replacement surgery. I have to admit...the first 2 weeks were incredibly painful. But this past week I felt like I was turning a corner. And at physical therapy yesterday, I passed a milestone and was able to bend my knee 90 degrees. Oh my gosh...I worked hard to get there. I still have a lot of work to do, but I started working part time this week and discovered I can only tolerate sitting at my desk for about 60-90 minutes at a time. I hope by the end of 6-weeks I'll be back full-time.

I do have a lot of people to thank...people lent me equipment, sent over meals, beautiful flowers, my fabulous virtual assistant and oh my...all of the lovely cards I received in the mail.

This project features the Petals & Paisleys Designer Series Paper. The beauty of use this paper, is there is a matching 3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack and you could choose most any of the paper designs and create a lovely monochromatic design. I chose Rich Razzleberry.

Paisleys & Posies Thank You Card

Onto 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, stamp Paisleys & Posies images with Rich Razzleberry ink. (Tip: I mounted all 3 shapes on one clear block "D")
Cut pattern paper to 4" x 1-3/4". Adhere to 4" x 2" piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock. Then adhere to stamped panel.
Stamp greeting (from Thankful Thoughts) on scrap of Very Vanilla. Cut with Decorative Label Punch. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals
Cut 1-1/2" piece of Burlap Ribbon. Cut tail in one end and adhere just under greeting label
Die cut "leaf" shape from Rich Razzleberry cardstock using Paisley Framelits. Tie 8" piece of gold twine (from Baker's Twine Trio Pack) onto leaf. Adhere to label with a glue dot.
Enjoy!

Paisleys & Posies Thank You Candy

Cut pattern paper to 2-1/4" x 3-1/4". Wrap around Hershey's Snack Size candy bar. Adhere together in back.
Wrap 10" a piece of Rich Razzleberry ribbon (from 3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack) around candy bar and tie in a knot.
Stamp greeting from Thankful Thoughts on scrap of Very Vanilla. (Tip: only ink the word "thanks" from "note of thanks") Cut with Classic Label punch. Then cut banner end, and trim other end to size. Punch a 1/16" hole for twine to go through.
Die cut "leaf" shape from Rich Razzleberry cardstock using Paisley Framelits.
Wrap 8" piece of gold twine (from Baker's Twine Trio Pack) through leaf & "thanks" tag, then around ribbon. Finish off with a bow.
Cut 1-1/2" piece of Burlap Ribbon. Cut tail in one end and adhere just under leaf/ribbon.
Enjoy!

So, if you're in need of quick thank you cards, I'd give the Paisley & Posies Product Collection a try!

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #204: Halloween Night and Suite Seasons!

October 26, 2016

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

With today's color combo, I knew I would be reaching for Stampin' Up!'s Halloween Night products. I need a few more cards for Halloween, especially for my grandsons.

Halloween Night Card

Apply Halloween Night Designer Washi Tape to a folded 11" x 4-1/4" Basic Black card base .
Wrap Halloween Night Bakers Twine around card front and tie in a bow
Stamp greeting (Suite Seasons stamp set) on 1-7/8" x 2-1/4" piece of Whisper White cardstock. Use Stampin' Write Markers (Perfect Plum, Old Olive & Pumpkin Pie). Adhere to 2" x 2-3/8" piece of Perfect Plum cardstock. Then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Attach Halloween Nights Enamel Dots. Place one on the exclamation point.

As this card is going to my grandsons, I thought it would be fun to bring a little spookiness to the inside of the card.

Ghost = Whisper White cardstock, Paisley Framelits, Pumpkin Pie mouth (from Spooky Fun stamp set)
Bat = Basic Black cardstock, Halloween Scene Edgelits
Witch = Old Olive cardstock, Halloween Scene Edgelits
Greeting = from Spooky Fun stamp set with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I think they're gonna like it! Now I just gotta get them in the mail.

Enjoy~Dawn O
