DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #271: Petal Palette Simple But Wow

First - a quick announcement...

Yesterday I celebrated a special Stampin' Up! Milestone, one million in career sales!

Dawn Olchefske, Stampin' Up! Million Dollar Achiever #dostamping #stampinup #onemillionachieverIt was a whirlwind of a day with all of the congratulatory wishes on facebook, phone calls and emails.  I feel so special and that's due to my supportive family, customers, DOstamperSTARS team members and fellow demonstrators.  I even got a little misty-eyed reading some of your messages.  

So today's card is for you...THANK YOU! 

 


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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #271-Sketch Pad #dostamping

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #270: Lots of Lavender with mounting trick!

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #270-Product Spotlight #dostamping
Last night was my Stamp-a-Stack class and one of the cards we made featured the beautiful Lots of Lavender Sale-a-Bration stamp set.  I think my customers were surprised at how easily the card came together.  That's because I used a "mounting trick" for the leaves and stem (see below for details).  This especially works great with photopolymer stamp sets.

Mounting Tip for Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration Lots of Lavender stamp set from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup  #stamping #rubberstamping #lotsoflavender #saleabration

Tip:  Easy alignment of stem & leaves:

  • stamp lavender image with black ink.
  • place the 3 leaf/stem images (uninked) directly onto the lavender stamped image in the coordinating areas.  
  • press an "E" block onto all 3 images.  
  • ink up with Old Olive and stamp all at once.
  • If you're making multiple cards, this saves time as well as perfect placement every time!

True Gentleman Suite Birthday Card

Control Freak Feb 2018 Blog Tour Truly Tailored card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy #rubberstamping #papercrafting, #masculinecards #stamparatus #trulytailored #birthdaycards

Next up is one for the gentlemen, using products from the True Gentlemen Suite!  This card comes together fast with a "z" fold.  The twist is to adhere the fold down (just the front fold), so the Tailor Tag punch out supports the left flap.  

Tips & Measurements for Truly Tailored Card:

  • Stamps: Truly Tailored (Bundle with Tailored Tag Punch)
  • Paper:
    • Crumb Cake =  11" x 4-1/4" card base (score at 5-1/2" and 2-3/4" - fold and adhere 2-3/4" sections together - creates a "half-flap")
    • Very Vanilla = 4" x 5-1/4" inside panel, scrap for Tailor Tag Punch)
    • Night of Navy = 4" x 2-3/4"
    • True Gentlemen Designer Series Paper (4" x 2-1/2")
  • Ink: Night of Navy Ink
  • Other: Tailored Tag Punch, Stamparatus, Stampin' Dimensionals

Control Freak Feb 2018 Blog Tour Truly Tailored card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy #rubberstamping #papercrafting, #masculinecards #stamparatus #trulytailored #birthdaycards

This was one of the cards at my last Stamp-a-Stack class earlier this month.  We used the new Stamparatus for perfect stamp placement of the inside greeting.  I heard squeals of delight throughout the event as people used the Stamparatus (coming in the next Annual Catalog).  I love that this product makes for happy stampers!!


Enjoy~Dawn O
