May 13, 2023

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts410. This week we're happy to share Sketch Inspiration with you.

When I saw today's sketch, I immediately thought of the Bright & Beautiful Suite Collection.

How'd She DO That? Beautiful Balloons Birthday card

For the "fringe" die, I recommend cutting your piece of paper at least 1-1/4" by the width of your card. When positioning the die for cutting, make sure the bottom edge of the die comes over the edge of the paper.

Stamping with the STARS #404: Rubberbands, Milkshakes & Kissing!

February 25, 2023

With a headline like that, did I get your attention?

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts405. This week we're happy to share Rubberband Stamping Technique Inspiration with you.

Last fall, one of my team members, Beverly Jackson demonstrated the Rubberband Stamping Technique at our monthly DOstamperSTARS Zoom get-together. It's been on my mind ever since then and I thought it would make a great theme for a Stamping with the STARS hop. So here we are!

The inspiration for my card...We have a local restaurant, the 50's Grill, and it's exactly what you might think. Servers in pink & black, hamburgers, fries, homemade food (the best pot pies) and ice cream. It's one of favorites - especially for birthdays!

My grandkids like to get a Mint Chocolate Shake. It's fun to see it brought to the table with all of the chocolate swirls showing through the glass. So that's what I thought of for the Rubberband Stamping Technique.

How'd She DO That? Share a Mint Chocolate Milkshake Tent card

Bundle: Share a Milkshake
Paper:
- Mint Macaron (4-1/4" x 8-1/2" card base scored at 4-1/4")
- Basic White (2-1/2" x 3-5/8", 5/8" x 2-1/8 for sentiment, scraps for whip cream, straw, cherry, tall glass die cuts)
- Early Espresso (2-7/8" x 4", scrap for chocolate die cut)
- Country Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (4" square)
Ink: Mint Macaron, Early Espresso, Melon Mambo
Other: Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Opaque Adhesive-Backed Gems, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

So...what does Rubberbands, Milkshakes & Kissing have to do with each other? Good question. See my tips below.

DOstamping Tips:

Ink tall glass image with Mint Macaron ink, then stamp off on scratch paper. DON'T STAMP ONTO PROJECT YET.
Wrap a couple of rubberbands around Block C - let some of them twist.
Ink up rubberbands with Early Espresso ink, then stamp off on scratch paper.
This is where the kissing comes in...press the inked rubberbands onto the tall glass inked image. Repeat until you get the look you're going for - I "kissed" 3 times in various places.
Breathe onto image (to remoisten), then stamp onto scrap of white.
Viola...a mint chocolate milkshake!

I love the way this Share a Milkshake & Rubberband Stamping Technique card turned out. I think the boys would approve.

As you might have concluded, I really like playing with the Share a Milkshake Bundle. I get giddy every time I make a new project. I know I've been a tease, but I do have one more outside-the-box project to share with you...coming soon!

Add the Share a Milkshake Bundle, and the perfectly coordinated Country Gingham 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper to your shopping cart today, so you can start playing too!

Stamping with the STARS #DOswts391: Decorated with Happiness Holiday Card

July 23, 2022

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts391. This week we're sharing Christmas in July inspiration with you.

I've been itchin' to use the new Decorated with Happiness Bundle and today was the perfect opportunity to showcase it. When I first saw the Jul-Dec 2022 Mini Catalog, I was immediately drawn to it. And...it did not disappoint!

How'd She DO That? Decorated with Happiness card

Stamps/Bundle: Decorated with Happiness Bundle (includes Decorated Pines Dies)
Paper:
- Pool Party (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base scored at 4-1/4")
- Basic White (4” x 5-1/4”)
- Basic White (scraps for ornaments)
Ink: Garden Green, Real Red, Pool Party
Other: Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss, Decorated Pines Dies, Festive Pearls, Stampin' Seal, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

All of the ornament "outline" images were stamped with Real Red ink, on Basic White cardstock.
The key to this card is the Stamping Off Technique.
- Ink up the "fill-in" images, then stamp once (or twice) on a scratch paper, then stamp inside outline images to create a lighter version of the ink color.
Have fun playing around with a variety of coordinating colors!
And...don't forget the embellishments. The new Festive Pearls were the perfect touch (includes Real Red, Silver, Gold & Soft Succulent).

I did this card for a swap with my DOstamperSTARS Team. One of the many activities we do throughout the year. I did wafflle between which direction to go with, portrait or landscape.

Which layout do you prefer...This or That? Leave a comment

Wish everyone a Merry Christmas in modern style with the Decorated with Happiness Bundle! The stamp set features classic Christmas sentiments and imagery designed in a modern style with scripted fonts and hand-drawn images. The coordinating Decorated Pine Dies are jam packed with pine boughs, baubles, bows, bells, and more Christmas designs for you to decorate cards, wreaths, garlands, and anything else you can put an ornament on.

Stamping with the STARS #365: Patriotic Tailor Made Tag & Retiring Oval Occasions

June 26, 2021

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts365.

With 4th of July just around the corner, this week we're sharing patriotic inspiration.

How'd She DO That? Patriotic Tailor Made Tag card:

Stamps: Oval Occasions (retiring 6/30)
Paper:
- Basic White Thick (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base; 2-1/4" x 4-1/2" for tag die and scrap for stars)
- Misty Moonlight & Real Red (2-1/4" x 4-1/2" for tag die)
Ink: Misty Moonlight
Other: Tailor Made Tags Dies, Stitched Stars Dies, Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Red Rhinestones, Baker's Trine Essentials Pack, Playful Pets Trim Combo Pack, Paper Trimmer Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals.

DOstamping Tag Tips:

Using largest angled corner tag die (Tailor Made Tag Dies), die cut 3 tags (Basic White, Misty Moonlight & Real Red cardstock).
For both the Misty Moonlight & Real Red tags, use Paper Trimmer to trim off 1-3/4" from the angled corners side. Adhere Misty Moonlight piece to Basic White tag die cut. (Note: you won't need the Real Red "corner" piece)
From the extra Real Red tag piece measuring approx. 2" x 2-1/8", cut it in half the long way to measure 1" x 2-1/8" and adhere to Basic White tag die cut.
Die cut a variety of stars (including the swirl stars). Arrange and adhere with Glue Dots.
Stamp sentiment on tag.

I was super happy with the way the card turned out. It came together quickly too. As I'm looking at it again, I'm imagining using different colors and making it a birthday card...cute!

I can see myself reaching for the new Tailor Made Tags Dies all year long. For me, it's a must-have papercrafting supply! Be sure to add it to your shopping cart, along with the Oval Occasions stamp set - which is retiring is just days (6/30).

Thank you for shopping with me.

Black Magic with a Wink & a Twist!

February 14, 2017

Today I'm sharing another Flourishing Phrases card with the Black Magic with a Twist technique. However, this one has a surprise...Wink of Stella! While playing around with this technique last month, I pulled out a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to do a little experimenting. I was delighted with the results!

Black Magic with a Wink & a Twist!

Stamp image (Flourishing Phrases) with Whisper White Craft ink on Basic Black cardstock that was die cut with largest square from Stitched Shaped Framelits. Let dry.
Color image with Pacific Point Watercolor Pencil. Only color 1/2 of each petal.
For the "wink", use a Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush and blend the blue color (staying on the half of petal)
For the "twist", use White Stampin' Chalk Marker to add the white dots (the "twist" of the dots really make the image pop!)
Adhere to 2-3/4" square of Pacific Point cardstock, then to 3" square of Whisper White cardstock. Then to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Party Animal Designer Series Paper.
Stamp greeting with Whisper White craft ink on scrap of Basic Black cardstock. Let dry. Then die cut with oval shape from Stitched Shaped Framelits. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Wrap Basic Black Baker's Twine around panel twice and tie in a bow.
Adhere completed panel to folded 4-1/4" x 11" Basic Black card base.
Adhere 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White cardstock to inside of card

The camera caught a little bit of the glimmer from the Wink of Stella Glitter Brush. In real life, it's gorgeous!

Above shows the results for different colored pencils.

Bottom = coloring only
Top = Wink of Stella added

Here's a step-by step shot. Perfect for pinning to Pinterest!

If you're interested in cards like this, I taught this technique at my local Stamping Club last month and my Classes TO GO Club are receiving their project kits this month with this card kit included. Check out my club offerings:

For Lindsey: Better Together Thank You Notes in Gusseted Bag

November 29, 2016

A couple of Saturday's ago, I attended a wedding shower for my niece, Lindsey. In January, she's marrying a young man from Canada. I'm very excited for her to start her next journey of her life. Along with a shower gift, I also like to hand make thank-you cards for the bride-to-be. Here's what I created for her...

Better Together Thank You Cards

I stamped the greeting from Bunch of Blossoms first onto 3-3/8" x 4-7/8" piece of Whisper White cardstock.. Then stamped the cute little flower from Better Together with Archival Basic Black ink.
Once I stamped them all (I made 28 cards), then I quickly colored the blooms with an Aqua Painter using Sweet Sugarplum ink...just a quick swipe over the bloom (don't use too much water, as the paper will "pill" - I prefer a drier brush). Once they were mostly dry, I went over the center of the flowers with more color to add a little depth.
The leaves were colored with a Blender Pen and Mint Macaron ink.
Once everything was dry, I added a little bling with a Clear Wink of Stella.
Then adhere completed panel to folded Note cards & Envelopes...the perfect size for thank you cards!

Wrap completed cards and envelopes (along with postage stamps), in a Gusseted Cello Bag (5 x 11-1/2" - now retired. But the 6" x 17" bag #142001 could work too - just cut to the length you need - see video below for other uses).
Tie off with ribbon from 3/8" Ribbon Trio Pack.
Create tag with Scallop Tag Topper Punch. Decorate with flower as done on the cards. Tie onto bag with Whisper White Baker's Twine.

As you can see, there are lots of ways to use Gusseted Bags. Though, I still like packaging up cards the best!
