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

Our theme for this month is: Stampin' Up! 2018 Occasions or Sale-a-Bration Products

I selected the Heart Happiness stamp set (in keeping with my "Love is in the Air" week theme)

Heart Happiness Love Notes

Stampin' Up! Heart Happiness Love Notes & Mini Pizza Box by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup #minipizzabox #hearthappiness #valetinesdaycards #diy #rubberstamping #cardmaking #papercrafting
These darling little 3" x 3" cards (3" x 6" folded in half) turned out so cute.  With using one of the small hearts from the Heart Happiness stamp set, I had a lot of fun experimenting with different colors, shapes and sayings to create different shapes.  I found the greetings from the Lovely Friends stamp set had the perfect little sentiments. 

With just a few colors, Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker and Basic Rhinestone Jewels (colored with black Sharpie Marker), I sure you could come up with even more designs (think flowers, maybe a frog, insects and more) - what fun!

Stampin' Up! Heart Happiness Love Notes & Mini Pizza Box by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup #minipizzabox #hearthappiness #valetinesdaycards #diy #rubberstamping #cardmaking #papercrafting

Not only will you have fun creating Heart Happiness Love Notes, but you'll have fun giving them away.  Leave them on your kids (or hubby) pillow or in their lunchboxes for a special little message from you!


Enjoy~Dawn O

Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit Mini Gable Box

Stampin' Up! Sweet Soiree Suite (coming Jan 2018) projects by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup #sweetsoiree #controlfreaks #birthday #diy #packaging

When I received these Silver Mini Gable Boxes, I was thinking, "Maybe the inside is white?"  Guess what?...they are!  Just gently pull apart one edge and turn it inside out (use tear & tape to re-adhere)!  Though the silver is very nice, the white gives you more options.

Tips for Mini Gable Box

  1. Stamps: Cake Soiree
  2. Paper:
    • Sweet Soiree Specialty Designer Series Paper (two of 1-3/4" x 3-3/4" )
    • Marina Mist (two of 1-3/4' x 1-3/4")
    • Whisper White (for greeting)
  3. Ink: Marina Mist
  4. Markers:  Stampin' Blends (Daffodil Delight and Old Olive combo packs) and Subtles Stampin' Write Marker Marina Mist)
  5. Other:  1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1/16" Handheld Punch, Silver Mini Gable Boxes, Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit, Silver Bakers Twine, 1/4" Silver Ribbon, Silver Metallic Edge Ribbon, Fast Fuse & Stampin' Dimensionals
  6. Tips:  Sweet Soiree Embellishment Kit
    • Color the yellow cake die cut (from kit) with markers
    • Fold 7" of Marina Mist Ribbon in half (from kit) along with other ribbon/trims.  Tie off with Silver Baker's Twine
    • Attach "tassel" of ribbons to greeting with clothespin (from kit)

Control Freaks Blog Tour: NEW Delightful Daisy Suite!

Control Freaks Tour Badge - Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

Welcome to the Control Freaks May 2017. We are thrilled to have you join us on the 20th of each month. Our tour features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from Cindy Elam's blog.

Our theme for this month is: New Annual Catalog Sneak Peeks! 


Delightful Daisy Suite

Stampin' Up! Delightful Daisy Suite cards from new 2017-18 Annual Catalog by Dawn Olchefske for Control Freak Blog Tour #dostamping

I chose to focus on the the new Delightful Daisy Suite of products!  

  • Daisy Delight Stamp Set [143669]
  • Daisy Punch [143713]
  • OR Daisy Delight Bundle [145361]
  • Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper [144137]

Both cards feature a quick & cute "color-block" layout.  However, they both look completely different.  That's because the Delightful Daisy Designer Series Paper incorporates a variety of colors and designs.
