DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #240: KISS with Petal Garden DSP

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

DOstamper STARS Thursday Challenge DSC#240 - Color My World #dostamping

As I just returned from the fabulous Stampin' Up! Thailand incentive trip, I'm still having a bit of trouble with jet lag.  So for today's card I'm using the KISS method, Keepin' It Super Simple!  I noticed that these colors are in the Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack...so that was my starting point.

Petal Garden KISS card

  1. Cut 4 patterns of Petal Garden Designer Series Paper Stack into 6" x 3/4" strips.  Cut ends with Triple Banner Punch.  Arrange strips on 4" x 5-1/4" panel of Sweet Sugarplum at various heights.  Adhere and trim off excess.
  2. Wrap 1/8" Fresh Fig Sheer Ribbon around panel and tie in a bow.
  3. Stamp greeting from Happy Birthday Gorgeous with Fresh Fig ink on scrap of Whisper White.  Die cut with Stitched Shapes Framelits.  Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  4. Adhere completed panel to folded 11" x 4-1/2" Sweet Sugarplum card base.

Designer Series Paper is one of my favorite products to reach for when I'm in a hurry to make a card.  It not only helps me narrow down the choice of colors to use, but also creates beautiful cards in an instant!

TIP:  whenever I purchase Designer Series Paper, I also purchase the matching cardstock, ink and accessories.  Then I'm ready to go at a moments notice! 

Enjoy~Dawn O

The Text Ya Later Stamp Set is perfect for anyone of all ages.  But especially that hard-to-please teenage or pre-teen group.  Add this stamp set to your shopping bag so you can be the hip & cool Mom, Aunt, or Grandmother!  Hmm...maybe I'm dating myself.  Maybe it's not hip & cool to use those terms anymore.  Either way - you know what I mean, right?

Enjoy~Dawn O

Sneak Peek: Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies (coming in August)

Are you shopping in July to get Bonus Days Coupons ($5 coupon for every $50 spent)?  Yes!!  Are you wondering what you're going to spend your $5 coupon(s) on in August (when you can redeem them)?  

Here's a sneak peek at one of two new items that will be available on August 1st...Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies (the Carols of Christmas stamp set will also be available too and in a Bundle - both a sneak peek from the upcoming Holiday Catalog).

Stampin' Up! Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies coming August 1, 2017 #dostamping

As a Minnesota gal, the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies are a must for me as they include a deer and two tree images to choose from, as well as 8 other shapes for the holidays.  (My official "measurement" graphic will be available in August for you.)

Stampin' Up! Thailand Incentive Trip Wallet #dostamping

As many of you know...I'm currently on the trek home from the Stampin' Up! Thailand Incentive Trip.  It will take a couple of travel days and I plan to be back in my office on Wednesday.  I brought a few treats for some of my international friends, a little "sweet" from Minnesota...Nut Goodie.  Of course I needed to package them up in a special way and here's what I came up with using the Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies.

Stampin' Up! Card Front Builder Thinlits Dies Candy Slider pouch by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

Minnesota Hello Candy Slider

  1. Score 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" piece of Garden Green cardstock at 1/2" and 4".  Fold on score lines.  Place Tear & Tape adhesive along 1/2" edge
  2. Before assembling...adhere 2" x 8" strip of Be Merry Designer Series Paper to scored piece (not over the Tear & Tape).   
  3. Refold and place another strip of Tear & Tape adhesive one of the "bottom" 4" sections (this will secure the bottom of the package).  Adhere edges together, them bottom.
  4. Cut a hole at the top of the package using 1/8" Handheld Circle Punch.  NOTE:  punch through both sides.  
  5. Wrap about 24" of 3/8" Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon around candy (from top to bottom and back up) and slide into the card sleeve.  Thread "back" ribbon through back hole and "front" ribbon through front hole and tie together in a bow.
  6. To open:  pull up on the ribbon and the candy slides out...yum! 

Nut Goodie - Made in Minnesota

Stampin' Up! Coffee Break Suite ideas shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

Here's some tips for these Coffee Break projects by Stampin' Up!:

  • Try inking just the word “friend” from the Coffee Café Stamp Set for a personal touch.
  • Use the straw image to stamp a background
  • Or, color the inside of the wooden heart with craft ink for added contrast.
  • There’s a whole latte love about this set and the coordinating products in the Coffee Break Suite.

Coffee Break Suite Week: Coffee Cup Sticky Notepad & Pen Gift Set

Stop by DOstamping Coffee Break Suite Week for some fabulous coffee and non-coffee inspiration

For today's Coffee Break Suite Week share, I have a quick & cute Coffee Cup Sticky Notepad & Pen Gift Set.

If you're anything like me, you're always on the lookout for notepads, magnets, pens, etc. that coordinate with Stampin' Up! products.  While shopping at Walmart a few weeks ago (in the office supplies or school supplies sections), I came across a coffee cup shaped sticky notepad.  I snatched it up quickly, as I knew I'd find just the right way to decorate it with the new Coffee Break Suite products.  Check it out...

Stampin' Up! Coffee Break Sticky Notepad & Pen Gift Set created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

If you saw yesterday's Coffee Break sketch card, I mentioned to save the leftover DSP pieces.  That's what I used to create the "wrap" for this sticky notepad.  If not - I'll provide the measurements below. 

Coffee Cup Sticky Notepad & Pen Gift Set

  1. Adhere 3/4" x 8" strip of wood grain pattern DSP to the center of 2" x 8" piece of "coffee rings" DSP (in place of the "leftovers" from yesterday's card).  Wrap around coffee cup sticky notepad and adhere together in the back.
  2. Wrap 3/8" Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon around "wrap" and tie in a bow.
  3. Ink up the word "friend" with Early Espresso ink (from one of the greetings found in the Coffee Cafe stamp set).  Stamp on 1/2" x 2-1/4" piece of Pear Pizzazz cardstock. Trim right edge into a banner shape.  Cut a hole with 1/8" handheld circle punch.
  4. Stamp "wood grain heart" with Crumb Cake ink on scrap of Whisper White.  Die cut with small tag share from Coffee Cup Framelits Dies.
  5. Thread a piece of Linen Thread through holes in "friend banner", Corrugated Elements tag & heart tag.  Wrap around ribbon and tie in a bow.
  6. For pen:  Curl a 4" x 1-3/4" piece of "coffee bean" pattern DSP (this will make it easier to adhere to the pen).  Add Tear & Tape adhesive to both of the 4" edges (backside of DSP).  Adhere one edge to the pen and then tightly wrap the rest of the DSP around the pen to adhere the opposite edge.  Burnish firmly so adhesive stays nicely.  Tuck completed pen under ribbon on the notepad. 

Stampin' Up! Coffee Break Sticky Notepad & Pen Gift Set created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

The Coffee Break Designer Series Paper is a perfect compliment for this fun sticky notepad.  

As you have seen, these coffee products are more than meets the eye.  With not only awesome coffee images and shapes, but also frozen drinks, cupcakes, gifts (and I'm sure more) - the Coffee Café Bundle is a must-have for any card maker!  Add it to your shopping bag today! 

Enjoy~Dawn O

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #239: Coffee Break Designer Series Paper

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC239 - Sketch Pad #dostamping
In staying with Coffee Break Suite Week, I naturally selected the Coffee Break Designer Series Paper for this week's sketch.

Stampin' Up! Coffee Break Designer Series Paper card by Dawn Olchefske for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC239 #dostamping

Happiness is...Coffee card

  1. From Coffee Break Designer Series Paper, cut a 2" x 12" strip from the "coffee rings" pattern and 3/4"  x 12" strip from the "woodgrain" pattern.  Aligning from the left side of the folded 4-1/4" x 11" Pear Pizzazz card base, adhere the wider strip first - at an angle.  Trim off right edge (and save for Friday's project).  Then adhere narrower strip at the same angle - overlapping the first strip about 1/2".  Trim of right edge (and save for Friday's project).
  2. Create greeting by masking off the lower half of the stamp (Coffee Cafe stamp set) with a sticky note.  Ink up top half with Pear Pizzazz ink.  Remove sticky note.  Use Early Espresso Stampin' Write Marker to color the word "coffee".  Then stamp on a 3-1/2" square piece of Whisper White cardstock.  Die cut with 2-1/2" wide heart from Sweet & Sassy Framelits Dies.  Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  3. Cut a few leaves out of the Garden Green leave/beans DSP pattern and adhere under left side of heart with Glue Dots
  4. Fold in half 6-1/2" of 3/8" Crumb Cake Classic Weave Ribbon.  Tie two strands of Linen Thread around the ribbon (near the top) and tie in a bow.  Adhere to card with Glue Dots.
  5. Place Metallic Enamel Shape in lower right corner (gold heart).
