10 Lovely Stampin' Up! Blooms & Bliss Inspiration

Today I'm sharing Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper samples.  Some I've created, some are from swaps and some are from Stampin' Up!.  The Blooms and Bliss paper is one of my favorite Designer Series Papers from this year's Annual Catalog.
  Stampin'  Up! Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper #dostamping

This modern take on watercolor blooms range from tropical to fantasy. As they are double-side, one side is fabulous florals, while the other side is a matching subtle pattern.  Another fun benefit of this collection is there are two distinct color combos

Blooms & Bliss Coordinating colors:

  • Sweet Sugarplum, Blushing Bride, Rich Razzleberry, Mint Macaron, & Sahara Sand
  • Island Indigo, Mint Macaron, & Sahara Sand

Stampin' Up! Blooms & Bliss cards created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

If you're looking for some quick & cute cards, the Blooms & Bliss Designer Series Paper is just the ticket.  These four cards can be made quickly with the same supplies and cutting measurements.  Here's how:

Blooms & Bliss QC card collection:

  • Cut pattern paper to 4" x 5-1/4".  Cut off 1-3/4" and flip over to the coordinating side.  
  • Adhere both pieces to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Thick Whisper White card base.
  • Adhere 4" x 1/2" strip where the two pieces meet (Island Indigo & Rich Razzleberry)
  • Stamp greetings (from Wetlands stamp set) on Whisper White cardstock with Island Indigo & Rich Razzleberry inks.  Cut out with Decorative Label Punch and adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Attach Rhinestone Basic Jewels

For the envelope flaps:

  • Adhere a 5-3/4" x 2-1/4" piece of pattern paper to the flap

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #201: Paper Pumpkin meets Halloween Nights Enamel Dots

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

DOstamperSTARS Challenge #201-Home Sweet Home

This week's Home Sweet Home photo inspiration leaves no room for interpretation...it's definitely Halloween time.  So I reached for the Something Good To Eat Paper Pumpkin kit.  I had something in my mind for the cauldron tag image, with bubbles floating up the card.

Stampin' Up! Something Good To Eat Paper Pumpkin Halloween card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC201 #dostamping

Woohoo - it came out exactly how I envisioned with the help of the new Halloween Night Enamel Dots.  Here's how:

Halloween Cauldron Card - 5 easy steps:

  1. Trim ends of 2-3/4" x 1/2" strip of Perfect Plum cardstock and adhere to 4-3/4" x 3-1/4" piece of Basic Black cardstock.
  2. Wrap Halloween Night Baker's Twine around panel and tie in a bow.
  3. Stamp greeting on tag with Old Olive ink (both tag and ink are from kit).  Adhere to panel with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  4. Adhere completed panel to folded 7" x 5" Perfect Plum card base (sized to fit in Note Cards sized envelopes)
  5. Attach Halloween Enamel Dots - one of tag and 3 above tag. 

Stampin' Up! Something Good To Eat Paper Pumpkin Halloween card created by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC201 #dostamping

This card completely makes me smile.  I'm lovin' the Basic Black, Perfect Plum & Olive Green color combo.  The way the Halloween Night Enamel Dots pop off the black...it's the perfect touch!

Enjoy~Dawn O

I finished my Designer Tin of Cards and oh my gosh...I LOVE them!  I barely made any changes at all (unlike me, as I typically Dawnify them),  They are very well designed and in my opinion are perfect just as they are!   Though, I did change out the greetings as I have a plan for them.  Speaking of greetings...don't forget to add the Designer Tin of Cards stamp set to your shopping bag too!
