DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #304: Snow is Glistening

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

This week's Sketch Pad challenge is a simple layout. Great for mass producing holiday cards.

I reached for the new exclusive November Snowflake Showcase promotion stamp set Snow is Glistening (for the greeting), and the awesome Snowflake Trinkets (my favorite!). Paired it with what is apparently my new favorite color, Merry Merlot (as I keep reaching for it these days)!

How'd She DO That? tips for Snow is Glistening card:

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #303: Tropical Escape Day #3

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

Between the Annual Catalog and the Holiday Catalog, there are lots of product suites to choose from...21 to be exact! But of course, I went with the Tropical Escape Suite.

For Day #3 of DOstamping Tropical Escape Suite Week, I added a little stamping onto the Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (DSP), to make it my own.

How'd She DO That? tips for Tropical Escape card:

Stamps: Tropical Chic
Paper:
- Blushing Bride (4-1/2" x 11" card base)
- Shaded Spuce (2 1/4" x 2 3/4")
- Whisper White (5/8" x 4" greeting and scrap for flower)
- Tropical Escape Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4" black dots, 2"x 3" stripes)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Soft Sea Foam (for stamping leaves on DSP, Blushing Bride
Other: Big Shot, Tropical Thinlits Dies, Share What You Love Artisan Pearls, Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Stampin' Dimensionals and Glue Dots
Shopping Links: See below for a full supply list with links to shop online

The black dotted patterned DSP felt like it needed a little "lift". The leaves were stamped with Soft Sea Foam ink - a nice subtle color to add a little texture. Don't be afraid of stamping on DSP to get your own custom look!

To save 10%, get the Tropical Chic stamp set bundled with the Tropical Chic Thinlits. Add it to your shopping bag today!

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #302: Fall Winter Woods

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

Feels like fall!

At least that's what I saw when working on this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.

My husband had a birthday last week and this was the card I made for him. It wasn't exactly what I had in my head when I first started, but I think it turned out nicely. And more importantly, he really liked it. That's why we make cards, right?

How'd She DO That? tips for Fall Winter Woods card:

Stamps: Winter Woods, Beautiful Day
Paper:
- Whisper White Thick (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4")
- Early Espresso (2-3/8" x 4-1/4" for curved edgelit)
Ink: Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie
Other: Big Shot, Into the Woods, Crumb Cake 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon, Leaves Trinkets, Stamping Sponges, Glue Dots &SNAIL
Tips: see below for Sponging Technique Tips

Dawn's Sponging Technique Tips:

To get the ombre look, use Stamping Sponges
Sponge on ink using a circular motion
Start with the lightest color, working from the bottom to the top with the darkest color.
I used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and just a touch of Pumpkin Pie.
I actually make a panel with Crajun Craze at the top, but it was too dark for my liking.

Even though the name of this stamp set/bundle is called Winter Woods, it makes fabulous fall card too - don't you think?! Add it to your shopping bag today - see shopping links below.

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #301: Beautiful Blizzard with Joyous Noel

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

I'm excited for this week's showCASE challenge. Why...because I really like the layout of this card in the Holiday Catalog and I thought it could be applied to a lot of different Designer Series Papers. Here's my take on it...

With the catalog inspiration, this card came together very quickly (gotta love that?). I actually chose the snowflake pattern from the Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper first, then searched for a stamp set that would complement it. I didn't have to search too far, as the Beautiful Blizzard Bundle was the perfect choice.

How'd She DO That? tips for Beautiful Blizzard card:

Stamps: Beautiful Blizzard
Paper:
- Sahara Sand (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (./4" x 3-1/2" banner)
- Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4", 3/4" x 4-1/2")
- Joyous Noel Glimmer Paper (scraps for snowflakes)
Ink: Tranquil Tide
Other: Big Shot, Precision Base Plate, Blizzard Thinlit Die, 3/16" Braided Linen Trim, Multipurpose Adhesive Sheets & Stampin' Dimensionals
Tip: For the snowflakes
- I cut a 2" x 4" piece of Glimmer Paper and Multipurpose Adhesive sheets and stuck them together.
- Placed it near one end of the die and cut several snowflakes. Then I had a few choices of sizes to select from. NOTE: this die cuts lots of snowflakes, see below for the sizes.
- The Blizzard Die definitely required the Precision Base Plate. For my Big Shot, I added a "shim" of folded copy paper too.
Shopping Links: See below for a full supply list with links to shop online

I can't wait to try this layout with other Designer Series Papers. If you're looking for quick and cute cards, definitely give this one a try!

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #299: Joyous Noel meets Merry Christmas to All

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

For today's challenge, I turned the sketch on it's end. Then I reached for the gorgeous Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper. With it's copper foil accents, it brings the bling on its own!

I was so happy with the way this card turned out, and yet surprised at how fast it all came together. It's what I call a "Simple but Wow" card! I'll definitely be making a few more of these for the upcoming holidays.

How'd She DO That? tips for Merry Christmas to All card:

Stamps: Merry Christmas to All
Paper:
- Gray Granite (11" x 4-1/4" card base)
- Whisper White (large scrap for 3" Stitched Shapes circle die)
- Joyous Noel Specialty Designer Series Paper (4-1/4" x 3")
Heat Emboss: swipe Embossing Buddy over large scrap. Stamp greeting Versamark ink. Cover with Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder. Remove excess and melt with Heat Tool. Then die cut with largest Stitched Shapes circle.
Other: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies, Merry Merlot & Copper 5/8" Reversible Ribbon, SnowFlakes & Stars Wire Elements, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

The fun wire accent is new from the Stampin' Up! 2018 Holiday Catalog, Snowflakes & Stars Wire Elements. I adhered it to the card with a couple of glue dots strategically placed (rolled glue dots into little balls).

I you like this card, then you'll want to start with the Joyous Noel Suite products, then add a large greeting. This greeting from the Merry Christmas to All stamp set is what drew me to the set. View the shopping links below and add your favorites to your shopping bag today!

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #298: Country Home Fun Fold Card

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

If you're looking for stamp sets that are perfect for coloring with Stampin' Blends, the 2018 Holiday Catalog is filled with lots of choices! One of them being, the Country Home stamp set, which at first look, I didn't get. I know, I know...what was I thinking?

After seeing my DOstamperSTARS stamping community's creations, I broke down and got it. And...I'm so glad I did. The images are perfect for Stampin' Blends.

This is one of the cards I offered at my Local Stamping Club Class this week (I have a TO GO option too). It was a hit, as it featured the Double Dutch Door Fun Fold and the Stampin' Blends.

The card "style" was shared with me by my friend & fellow demonstrator, Julie Davison (I love her work!),. Let's dive into this fun fold card.

How'd She DO That? tips for Double Dutch Door Fun Fold card:

Card base: 4-1/8" x 8-3/4", score at 5-1/2" (Crumb Cake)
Wrap around door panel: 2-1/4" x 8-1/2", score at 2-1/8" from each end (Crumb Cake) - adhere center area only, to back of card.
Top flap: 3" x 3-7/8" (Galvanized Metallic Paper with Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder)
Door Flaps: two 2" x 2" (Country Lane Designer Series Paper)
Focal Point: 4" x 2-7/8" (Whisper White), 4-1/4" x 3-1/2" (Thick Whisper White)

Everyone had so much fun coloring this Country Home image with Stampin' Blends. I heard many comments on how soothing it was to color with them. For me, my favorite thing about Stampin' Blends is...they make me feel like an artist. Here's the list of what was used.

Mango Melody Combo Pack
Mint Macaron Combo Pack
Old Olive Combo Pack
Blackberry Bliss Combo Pack
Dark Crumb Cake
Dark Soft Suede

Stampin' Blends are not just for paper. You can also color our Basic Pearls and Rhinestone Jewels (among other surfaces), which were colored with the Dark Blackberry Bliss Stampin' Blend Marker.

Be sure to check out all of the products from the Country Lane Suite and add them to your shopping bag today!
