DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #196: Paisleys & Posies Bundle

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

DOSstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #196-Color My World

Paisleys & Posies Bundle card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC196 #dostamping #stampinup

This week's color combo is bright and cheery, so I thought I'd used it for a "get well" type of card.  I'm always in need of them and never have very many of them on hand.  The greeting is from the new Holiday Catalog Suite Seasons stamp set - full of a variety of greetings for fall & winter occasions.  I paired it with the Paisleys & Posies Bundle (stamp set and coordinating Paisley Framelits)...also new from the 2016 Holiday Catalog.

Paisleys & Posies comfort card

  1. Stamp Paisleys & Posies images randomly on 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White, using Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach & Pear Pizzazz.
  2. Wrap Whisper White Baker's Twine around stamped panel twice and tie off in a bow - keep bow all the way over to the right side.
  3. Stamp greeting from Suite Season with black ink on scrap of Whisper White.  Die cut with Layering Ovals (note keep greeting to the left of framelit), and die cut matching scallop oval out of Peekaboo Peach cardstock, and adhere together.  Attach to stamped panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  4. Stamp flower image with black ink on scrap of Whisper White and color with markers (Watermelon Wonder, Peekaboo Peach & Pear Pizzazz).  Die cut with matching shape from Paisley Framelits.  Adhere to oval with Stampin' Dimensional.
  5. Adhere panel to folded 4-1/4" x 11" Peekaboo Peach card base.
  6. Place 3 Rhinestones Jewels on card.

I think anyone who is not feeling well, or could just use a little sunshine in their day would smile when they receive this card.  Be sure to add the Paisley and Posies Bundle to your wish list so you can bring a smile to someone's face!

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

Spooky Fun

Spooky Fun Bundle with Home Sweet Home Thinlits card created by Dawn Olchefske for Control Freak Blog Tour #dostamping #stampinup

OK - so, I had intended to somehow incorporate the matching Paisley Framelits into the previous card.  But decided to keep the card Quick & Cute...(great for mass-producing).  But with the Paisley Framelits still out...

Spooky Fun stamp set meets Paisley Framelits to create fun ghosts by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

... as I was playing around with them, I noticed the paisley shapes looked like ghosts - woohoo, what fun!  I searched for a stamp set that might have some "face" images and came across the new Spooky Fun.  Stamped a couple of faces and voila...ghosts!

After stamping the ghosts, I figured they needed a house to haunt...though those ghosts look really happy.  Oh well, they still need a house.  So I reached for the new Home Sweet Home Thinlits and started building my Halloween scene

Spooky Fun Bundle with Home Sweet Home

  • Die cut the fence edgelit from Halloween Scene Edgelits from 2" x 4-1/2" piece of Basic Black cardstock (yes...it's a edgelit, fun!).  Adhere to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Basic Gray cardstock (trim off edges).
  • Stamp greeting from Spooky Fun with black ink
  • Die cut house pieces using Home Sweet Home Thinlits as follows:
    • House = 3-1/2" x 2" piece of Halloween Nights Specialty Paper (trim off scored edges to get final shape)

    • Door Handle = Pumpkin Pie (from triple circle die
    • Additional cardstock pieces needed
    • 2 strips of 1/4" x 1-3/4" Basic Black for roof (trim as needed)

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #194: Sneak Peek Seasonal Bells & Holly Berry Happiness Bundles!

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #194-Product Spotlight

Seasonal Bells & Holly Berry Happiness Bundles from 2016 Holiday Catalog card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC194 #dostamping #stampinup 

So excited for today's Product Spotlight Punches challenge!  Last week I received my Holiday Catalog preorder and I knew exactly what I'd be using for today's Punch challenge...new holiday punches.  Specifically the new Bell Punch and Holly Berry Builder Punch.  Both come in a bundle with matching stamp sets...Seasonal Bells and Holly Berry Happiness.  Definitely on my top favorites list!   Coming soon...September 1st.

  3. Assemble hollies and berries with glue dots at top of bell.  Wrap Cherry Cobbler Metallic Thread (from combo pack) around two fingers and adhere between berries and holly leaves.
  4. Adhere 2-1/2" x 3/4" strip of Presents & Pinecones Designer Series Paper to 2-1/2" x 3-3/4".  Position bell on the panel, so you know where to stamp greeting from Holly Berry Happiness with Cherry Cobbler ink.  Adhere panel to 2-3/4" x 4" piece of Cherry Cobbler.
