17 DOstamperSTARS Connect 10 Creative Challenge Ideas!

From the title, you might be wondering, "What is a DOstamperSTARS Connect 10 Creative Challenge?"

Good question...

  • Most months I offer a creative challenge to my DOstamperSTARS team and if they complete all of the challenges, then they earn Stampin' Up! product from me. 
  • This month we're doing a Connect 10 Challenge.  I put together a board with 20 creative ideas.  They need to select 10 of them that connect to each other to complete the challenge. 
  • Other months we do Tic Tac Toe, Bingo or ABC challenges.  They are lots of fun and we get a LOT of ideas flowing on our private DOstamperSTARS Facebook group. 
  • Whether you're a beginning or advance stamper, anyone on my team is invited to participate, share their creations and earn a prize.

Here's some of the projects that were submitted this month...

NOTE: most of my members do not have a blog, but if they do and have posted the project to their blog, I will include a link to their project.

Stamping with the STARS #421 Sponging Techniques: Modern Garden Christmas Wreath

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts421.  This week it's our pleasure share a Sponging Techniques Inspiration with you.

#DOswts421 Stamping with the STARS Sponging Inspiration #dostamperSTARS #dostampinup #stampinup

Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden Bundle Christmas Wreath card by Dawn Olchefske for Stamping with the STARS sponging challenge #DOswts421 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #DOstamperSTARS p

I really wanted to play around with the Modern Garden stamp set to make a Christmas Wreath card.  I so happy with the way it turned out.  The light sponging added a soft touch and brought the wreath together nicely.

How'd She DO That? Modern Garden Christmas Wreath card

  • Stamps/Bundles: Modern Garden Bundle - includes punch
  • Paper:
    • Garden Green (4-1/4" x 11" card base) 
    • Poppy Parade (4" x 5-1/4") 
    • Azure Afternoon (3-7/8" x 5-1/8", scrap for sentiment punch)
  • Ink:  Poppy Parade, Garden Green Petal Pink
  • Other:  Small Blending Brushes, Blooming Pearls, Gold & Silver 1/8"  Trim Combo Pack, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

 

Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden Bundle Christmas Wreath card by Dawn Olchefske for Stamping with the STARS sponging challenge #DOswts421 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #DOstamperSTARS.-b

DOstamping Tips:

  • On the white panel, start by stamping the large poinsettia with Poppy Parade ink, four times.  
    1. I positioned the sentiment punch out  where I wanted it (don't adhere), then eyeballed where to stamp the top & bottom, and right & left side flowers.
    2. Then use the small poinsettia set stamp twice without reinking - filling in between each of the large flowers.
  • Then use Small Blending Brush to add Petal Pink  around the entire wreath, going a little bit outside the edges.  I just want a soft look, but you can use more ink for a darker look.
  • Finish stamping leaves with Garden Green ink (some stamped-off).  Then stamp largest "dot" with Petal Pink - in flower centers and around the wreath as shown.
  • On white scrap stamp sentiment with Garden Green ink and punch out.  Use blending brush to sponge ink onto the edges of the punch out.   Then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

9-squared Modern Garden Birthday Card, Product Available Again!

For today's project...

My title is a little bit misleading.  That's because it's not 9 squares, but 9 rectangles.  I thought 9 rectangled sounded off.  In fact, rectangled is not actually a word.  So that's probably why.  But I digress. 

Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden Bundle 9-Squared card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #birthdaycards 9

Either way - I'm lovin' the layout.  This card came about because I was going through some of my older cards to donate to the church.  Whenever I do that, I pull a couple aside that I like the layout or fold, for inspiration for later card making.

For this card layout - I thought the Garden Walk Designer Series Paper would work perfectly.  tI did not disappoint!   I actually made several of these using different pattern combinations and they all look fabulous.  I'll share more of them later.

How'd She DO That? 9-squared Modern Garden Birthday card

  • Stamps/Bundles: Modern Garden Bundle (with punch)
  • Paper:
    • Pretty Peacock (11" x 4-1/4" card base, scrap for Bough Punch)  
    • Basic White (4" x 5-1/4" for inside, scrap for sentiment punch) 
    • Lost Lagoon & Calypso Coral (scraps for Bough Punch-floral)
    • Garden Walk 6x6 Designer Series Paper (9 of 1-1/8" x 1-5/8" - 3 in three coordinating patterns)
  • Ink:  Pretty Peacock
  • Other:  Calypso Coral 3/16” Braided Linen Trim, Blooming Pearls, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Stampin’ Up! Modern Garden Bundle 9-Squared card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #birthdaycards c

DOstamping Tips:

  • On folded card base, arrange and adhere all 9 DSP pieces.  To help with placement:
    • start with bottom row, adhering the middle section last
    • then work around the card starting in each corner
    • you'll end in the center of the card. 

Right now, the Garden Walk Suite Collection [162240] is my favorite.  I can't stop making cards with it.  I'm looking forward to sharing more with you.  I recommend adding to your shopping cart today!

Thank you for choosing to shop with me!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Create Your Own Background with Pick of the Patch!

For today's project, I'm sharing my last Pick of the Patch creation. 

This Thanksgiving card also features the Stamping Off Technique, which is perfect for creating your own stamped backgrounds.  I guess the Pick of the Patch stamp set is a good one for this technique.  Great for beginner and experienced stampers alike!  See my tips below.

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #thanksgivingcards c

DOstamping Create Your Own Background Tips:

  • I always start by choosing 3-5 coordinating ink colors.
  • On a piece of scrap paper, I typically play around with those colors and the stamp set I've chosen, trying out different combinations.
  • Once I'm satisfied with my color & image choices,  I start stamping.  ALWAYS start with the largest image and use the Stamping Off technique to get a variety of color shades. 
    1. Gourd = Gray Granite
    2. Pumpkin = Pumpkin Pie
    3. Small Pumpkin = Petal Pink
    4. Stems/Vines = Pecan Pie (use a sticky note as a "mask" near the top of each pumpkin to get smaller stems)
    5. Dots = Crumb Cake (I love that the Pick of the Patch stamp set came with what I call a "filler" image - perfect for filling some of the "white" spaces)
  • To finish off the card, I used the Copper & Natural Ribbon (available week of October 23).  To substitute, you could use cardstock.  1" x 4" piece of Crumb Cake and  1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Pumpkin pie.

 

If you enjoyed the variety of cards I shared this week using the Pick of the Patch Bundle, then you'll want to add it to your shopping card today!

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle with Them Bones DSP card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween c1

DOstamping "Straw" Tip:

  • Cut an 8" length of natural ribbon (from the Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack)
  • Then cute one side edge off and pull strands away.
  • When you have enough strands - pile them together and tie in a knot in the middle (it doesn't have to be perfect)
  • I them tied it in a messy bow and adhere to the back of the partial punch with glue dots.
  • Substitute Linen Thread for the natural ribbon.

 

You might be wondering, how I got a smaller punched pumpkin?  Easy, with Partial Punching!

DOstamping Tip - Partial Punching with Pickof the Patch Builder Punch shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup 2

DOstamping Partial Punching Tips:

  • Cut Pumpkin Pie cardstock with Pick of the Patch Builder punch
  • Then re-insert the pumpkin punchout back into the punch.  I slid it into through the side, then pulled up the left edge so I could position the right edge into the punch where I wanted it.
  • It works for both sizes.
  • Note: for my card, I used a full-sized smaller pumpkin and a partial punched smaller pumpkin.

 

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle with Them Bones DSP card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween c2

NOTE:  I make a boo boo!

  • It looks like two smaller pumpkins are layered together. 
  • That's because I got a ink spot on the first one, but it was already adhered to the card. 
  • So I just punched another one.  The shape was slightly different (that's what you get with partial punching - not exactly the same every time), but that's OK. 
  • Just a way to cover up my mistake!

What do you think of today's card?  Fun, right?!

 

If you're a Halloween fan, then you'll want to add the Pick of the Patch Bundle (with punch) to your stamping collection, along with the Them Bones Designer Series Paper!

Thank you for choosing to shop with me!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Pick of the Patch Bundle: Fun Message Delivery Crow

Ha - that title got you, right?  You're thinking, is there a delivery crow in the Pick of the Patch stamp set?  Take a look...

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween p

How cute is that crow delivering the Happy Halloween message?  I had so much fun creating this card using the Pick of the Patch Bundle.  See all of the details below.

How'd She DO That? Happy Halloween Crow card

  • Stamps/Bundles:  Pick of the Patch Bundle (includes punch)
  • Paper:
    • Crumb Cake (11" x 4-1/4" card base, 3/4" x 1-1/2" for sign)
    • Basic White (3-7/8" x 5-1/8", scraps for pumpkin)
    • Pumpkin Pie (4" x 5-1/4", scrap for pumpkin) 
    • Pecan Pie (scraps for stems)
  • Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie
  • Other:  Take Your Pick, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween c2

DOstamping Tips:

  • Start by stamping the leaves along the bottom of the white panel with Crumb Cake ink with the Pick Of The Patch stamp set.
  • To stamp the "extended branch": with Pecan Pie ink, stamp the full branch first, the turn the stamp 180 degrees and stamp so the ends meet.  Clever, right?
  • I recommend making the sign before stamping the crow, so you know where to position the crow image.  Use the Take Your Pick  tool and
  • Stampin' Pierce Mat to make holes in the sign.  Thread linen thread through the holes and tie off into a over hand knot.  Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals and glue dot for knot.
  • For pumpkins: on white scrap, stamp two smaller pumpkins using Pumpkin Pie ink and Stamping Off technique.  Cut out with
  • Pick Of The Patch Builder Punch, also cut a Pumpkin kit large pumpkin and three Pecan Pie stems.
  • Arrange pumpkins before stamping "vine" images with Pecan Pie ink and Stamping Off technique.  Then adhere to card.
  • Substitute for the Speckled Dots: Use Stampin' Blends to color the white Classic Matte Dots

Before I end, I have a couple of NOTES for you:

  • All About Autumn Designer Series Paper: This was available at the time of my blog post yesterday.  But it ran out fast.  It's expected to be back in the week of October 23.  I've update the unorderable list (scroll down below my DOstamping Supplies)
  • Update on my blog emails:  The final problem for this has been narrowed down to issues between Gmail, my blogging platform and RSS feed service.  They have been working on it.  I received an email late last night to let them know if Gmail users are still have issues seeing photos.  If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.  Thank you for your help!

 

Thank you for choosing to shop with me!

Enjoy~Dawn O
