Stampin’ Up! Framed & Festive Tags by Dawn Olchefske Stamping with the STARS challenge #DOswts399 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #DOstamperSTARS #christmastags p

I decided to make tags.  We can always use tags at our house, as we give gifts of holiday breads. 

The "from our home to yours" is the perfect sentiment for food gifts.  Which is from the exclusive Framed & Festive stamp set (available until January 4 or while supplies last).  It's my super favorite holiday sentiments stamp set.

How'd She DO That? Holiday Gift Tags card

  • Stamps: Framed & Festive 
  • Paper:
    • Basic White Thick (2" x  4-1/4" tag) 
    • Boughs of Holly Designer Series Paper (two strips of 3/4" x 2") 
  • Ink: Evening Evergreen
  • OtherLabel Me Lovely PunchVery Best Trio Punch, Real Red & Garden Green 3/8" Ribbon Combo Pack, Baker's Twine Essentials Pack, Flat Jingle Bells, Stampin' Seal.

DOstamping  Punch Tips:

  • Use the Label Me Lovely Punch to cut the decorative edge at the top of the tag. 
    • Insert a 2" x  4-1/4" tag piece into punch from top (as normal). 
    • BUT, as it comes through the punch, lift the bottom edge up and over the outside of the punch (see photo). 
    • Continue to pull through until you see the other edge of the tag.   
    • Then push back in slightly (until you no longer see the edge) and punch.
  • Use the Very Best Trio Punch to cut a "ribbon slot" at the top of the tag.

DOstamperSTARS Having a GREAT time!

Woohoo! We had a GREAT time at my monthly DOstamperSTARS meeting last night.  My group of Stampin' Up! demonstrators are awesome!  There was tons of sharing, demonstrations, laughing and of course stamping!

Here's some pics from last night...

MakeTakes

Here's what everyone got to make last night.  These 3 cards, plus 1/3rd of a pack of Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Pieces.  They were the hit of the night!  Everyone fell in love with Stampin' Up! Sweet Pea Flowers!

Stephanie

Here's Stephanie (one of our new demonstrators) working on her Stampin' Up! On Board Book Heart Bag Tag. 

Pixie&Susan

Here's Susan Auyer (guest speaker all the way from Michigan - thanks Susan!) and Pixie sanding their On Board Book Hearts.  They were very instense with their sanding.  Until I said that was unusual for Pixie (who's always laughing!)

Pixie&Susan2

Aaah - there we go!  That's the Pixie I know!

Jan

Here's alway happy Jan!!  Plus she's my #1 meeting helper.  Thanks Jan!

2.  Apply Anywhere Glue Stick to your chipboard piece
3.  Use Sanding Block on the outer edges
4.  Sponge Coordinating Color (Taken With Teal) on the outer edges
5.  Use Pop-up Glue Dots to adhere Sweet Pea Stitched Felt Flowers

Supplies:  Sweet Pea Designer Series Paper Stack (what a bargain at $24.95 for 48 sheets!), Sweet Pea Stitched Felt, Rose Red Double Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, Taken With Teal Classic Ink, Stampin' Sponge, Anywhere Glue Stick, Big Shot, Serif Essentials Alphabet Dies, Sanding Block, Pop Up Glue Dots

Under the Stars: Flying Bear!

OK - ever since Brent Steele demonstrated the "Flying Bear" card at the 2008 Convention, I've been wanting to do it at one of my Technique Tuesday classes.  I've been trying to figure it out.  But I just couldn't wrap my head around the concept as he described it.  So I stopped trying and just made it work.

Flying-Bear-Card

Here are the steps I used to create the card - hope it makes sense!

Step #1

Step1

Start with stamping the bear three times(from Under the Stars stamp set #111556, $29.95). 


Step #2:

Cut out the "full bear" without the arms.  Then cut out each arm (make the arms longer as shown in the picture below). 

Step2

Step #3:

You'll need a "stick".  I used leftover chipboard.  Attach both of the arms to the stick with a brad.

Step3

Step #4:

Stamp the bear onto the front of your card (WITHOUT the arms).  At his mouth, make a "slit" wide enough to slide the stick into.

Step4

Step #5:

Use brads to attach each arm to the card.

Step5

Step #6:

Add Stampin' Dimensionals to the back side.  NOTICE: the dimensionals on either side of the stick.  TIP:  notice the half circle punch-out at the bottom of the card - (this is so you can grab the stick to move up and down).

Step6


Step #7:

Add Stampin' Dimensionals to the back side of the bear that was cut out from Step #2.  TIP:  Use 2 stacked dimensionals at the top of the head and the bottom of the body.  (This is so the stick has room to move up and down). 

Step7

Step #8: 

Adhere the bear to the front of the card.

Step8

Step #9:  Make your bear fly by moving the stick up and down. 

Arms-up&down


Supplies:  Under the Stars stamp set, Summer Sun, Confetti White, Basic Brown, Summer Sun, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip Ink, 3/4" Circle Punch, Chipboard, Brads, AquaPainter, Hemp Twine, Star Designer Brads.
