DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #195: Spooky Fun Bundle Triple Square Card

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

DOSstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #195-Sketch

I was so excited for this week's sketch challenge.  There really are so many options for this sketch...Stamped images, punches or even Designer Series Paper  with die cuts...which is what I landed on.  And since I've been stamping up a storm with my new Stampin' Up! Holiday Catalog pre-order products (for demonstrators)...I reached for the Halloween Nights Designer Series Paper.

  Spooky Fun Bundle card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC195 #dostamping #stampinup 

Spooky Fun Triple Square Card - 6 steps

  1. Die cut (3) Basic Black scallop squares from Layering Squares Framelits (#4 measuring 1-1/2")
  2. Cut (3) 1-3/8" squares of Halloween Night Designer Series Paper and adhere to black scallop squares.  Then adhere to 3-3/4"  x 5" piece of Whisper White cardstock.
  3. Stamp greeting from Spooky Fun stamp set with black ink.  Adhere completed panel to 3-7/8" x 5-1/2" piece of Basic Black cardstock.
  4. Wrap Halloween Night Baker's Twine around layered panel and tie in a bow.
  5. Die cut images with black and white cardstock
    • Large bat and witch from Halloween Scenes Edgelits (bundled with Spooky Fun)
    • Small bat and ghost from Home Sweet Home (stamp ghost face with face image from Spooky Fun)
    • Adhere larger images with Stampin' Dimensionals, small bat with Fine Tip Glue
  6. Adhere completed panel to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Pumpkin Pie card base

Spooky Fun Bundle card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC195 #dostamping #stampinup 

True confession time...

I don't normally purchase Halloween products every year.  I don't send too many cards, so I don't have a need for too many Halloween-themed products.  However, I have to admit...I completely fell in love with the Halloween offering this year and purchased way too much.  Having said that...I'm so happy with the Spooky Fun Bundle and the Home Sweet Home Bundle.   There are products I wouldn't have typically gotten.  But I'm SO happy I did, as I'm having way too much fun with them!

Enjoy~Dawn O

HSDT Video: Cherry Lollies Treat Pouch

I have the cutest little treat pouch to share with you today AND a How'd She DO That? video too! 

Cherry Lollies Treat Pouch

Cherry Lollies Treat Pouch created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

These treats pouches were a little gift for my downline and friends at the April 2016 On Stage event a few weeks ago.  I've had the Cherry Lollies for several month and haven't had a chance to make anything with them yet.  I knew I'd pair them with the Apple of My Eye stamp set (retiring May 31st).  But wasn't sure exactly what I would make with them.  The pouch idea came together the night before I left, at midnight (that's when I do my best work - ha!).  Luckily there wasn't too much trial and error with measuring and in no time at all, I cranked out ten cute little Cherry Lollies Treat Pouches.   They were a big hit!

WATCH VIDEO: Cherry Lollies Treat Pouch

 

Oh my gosh...wasn't that cute?!  I also envisioned treat pouches for jellied fruit slices...that would be cute too!  Great for Mother's Day, co-worker treats, year-end treats for teachers and coaches, and more.  Have fun making your own treat pouches.

  Stampin' Up! Annual & Occasions Catalog Retiring List #dostamping

Before the new catalog can come out, we have to make room for it by saying good bye to retiring products from the Occasions Catalog and Annual Catalog retiring lists:

NOTE:  All "current bundles are being discontinued (even ones not listed on the retiring list).  You'll notice that some of the current bundle products are also not listed on the retired list.  Those "unlisted" individual products will carryover into the new catalog, but will not be available in a bundle.  So take advantage of bundle savings and get your bundles today before they are gone!  (If you have any questions about a specific product, feel free me to contact me).
