Stamping with the STARS #400: Sketch for New Baby Kaladin!

As you could probably tell, I got behind in December.  That was due (in part) to a new addition to our family, this little guy, Kaladin. 

#DOstamping Kaladin

My daughter, Becky gave birth to a healthy 8 lb., 13oz. baby boy on December 9.  I can hardly believe it's already been a month.  Isn't he a cutie?

 

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts400.  This week we're happy to share a Sketch Inspiration with you.

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts352.  This week we're sharing a quick & easy sketch with you.

Stamping with the Stars #DOswts352 Sketch Challenge #dostamperSTARS #dostampinup #stampinup #sketch

This sketch is perfect for showcasing Designer Series Paper (DSP).  I originally had a Poinsettia Place DSP card all ready to go (it was one of the cards from my DOstamping Club).  But that DSP is now sold out.   

So I reached for another paper pack and chose the soon-to-be-retired 'Tis The Season 6"x6" Designer Series Paper

Quick and Cute Stampin' Up! Tis The Season DSP Christmas card for DOstamperSTARS #DOswts352 by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #cardmaking #stamping-PH

How'd She DO That? Silver Bells card

  • Stamps: Poinsettia Petals
  • Paper:
    • Shaded Spruce (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base and scrap for 1-1/2" circle punch) 
    • Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4") 
    • Silver Foil (scrap for JOY die cut)
    • 'Tis the Season 6" x 6" Designer Series Paper (2-1/2" x 5-1/4")
  • Ink:  Shaded Spruce
  • Other:   Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Joy Dies, Adhesive Sheets, Basic Rhinestone Jewels, Stampin' Seal & Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Quick and Cute Stampin' Up! Tis The Season DSP Christmas card for DOstamperSTARS #DOswts352 by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #cardmaking #stamping (holly)

DOstamping Tips:

  • Mix & match different patterns - there are 24 different patterns to choose from (see patterns below).
  • For the "Joy" die cut - adhere a scrap piece of Silver Foil to a piece of Adhesive Sheets (love these).  Then die cut, peel and stick!
  • Mix & match different jewels and gems too.

Max Quick and Cute Stampin' Up! Tis The Season DSP Christmas card for DOstamperSTARS #DOswts352 by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #cardmaking #stamping -(Max)

I had some helpers this morning, my grandsons Max (13) and Sam (11). 

It's been awhile since they have crafted with me.  Partly because they are older and party due to social distancing.  There were doing hybrid learning for school, so we had seen them for a while.  But with all schools in MN doing long-distance learning for the past few weeks, it's safer to see them. 

Max's card is above and Sam's card is below.  They did a fabulous job!

Sam Quick and Cute Stampin' Up! Tis The Season DSP Christmas card for DOstamperSTARS #DOswts352 by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #cardmaking #stamping -(Sam)
It was SO much fun crafting with them - it made my heart happy!

On My Mind Paper Pumpkin: Ideas for Woven Threads

Today, I have a guest stamper for you...my grandson, Max!

Paper Pumpkin - On My Mind kit (July 2019) alternate cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #Paper Pumpkin #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #cardkits

It's August and summertime is in full swing here in MN...hot & humid.  That's when we head to cabin for some 4-day weekends to relax and take a break from the heat.  And there is something I always bring with me...Paper Pumpkin!

For me, Paper Pumpkin is even better when I craft with my grandsons.   Max is still interested in crafting, so he joined me!  Now that he's 12 and quite familiar with Paper Pumpkin, I just hand him the box and away he goes.

Paper Pumpkin - On My Mind kit (July 2019) alternate cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #Paper Pumpkin #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #cardkits

I really enjoy watching him create.  Even more fun, is when we banter back and forth on ideas.  

  • ME:  I was thinking of using this panel as is, and not punching out the pieces. What do you think?
  • MAX:  That's a good idea Umma. What if I do that, but instead punch out the pieces, then put them back in and pop them up?
  • ME:  That's a great idea Max, go for it!

Paper Pumpkin - On My Mind kit (July 2019) alternate cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #Paper Pumpkin #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #cardkits

It turned out great, don't you think?

Now it's my turn.  Here's my last two alternate ideas for the On My Mind Paper Pumpkin kit to share with you.

Paper Pumpkin - On My Mind kit (July 2019) alternate cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #Paper Pumpkin #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #cardkits

How'd She DO That? You've Been On My Mind card

  • Trim out a 4" x 5-1/4" piece from the printed envelope, and adhere to 4-1/4" x 11" Sahara Sand folded card base.
  • Cut pieces from kit into shorter "banner" pieces and adhere behind stamped label sentiment.
  • Slip on paper clip & twine to label.  Then adhere with dimensionals.
  • Attach adhesive sequin.

 

Paper Pumpkin - On My Mind kit (July 2019) alternate cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #Paper Pumpkin #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #cardkits

How'd She DO That? You're the Best Fun Fold card

  • Cut 5-1/2" x 7-1/2" piece of Pretty Peacock cardstock.  Score and fold at 3-1/4".
  • Stamp medallion image on smaller front piece.
  • Adhere 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White panel to inside of card.
  • Score and fold printed panel (from kit) at 3".  Adhere smaller section to back of card, and fold larger section over the front of the card.
  • Stamp greeting banner and adhere.
  • Adhere 1-1/4" square of Calypso Coral cardstock behind banner and front fold (see photo below)
  • Wrap twine around smaller folded panel and tie in a knot.  
  • Attach adhesive sequins to center of stamped medallions.

Father's Day: Good Dad, Good Man

With Father's Day quickly approaching, I thought I'd share for the Dad's in your life, using the A Good Man stamp set.

  • Show the good men in your life how much you appreciate them with a handmade, heartfelt card or gift you make using the A Good Man Stamp Set.
  • Great for Father’s Day, birthdays, or any day you want to recognize and celebrate your men.

Celebrate Father's with the A Good Man stamp set from Stampin' Up! | card created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #papercrafting #masculinecards #agoodman

 

149270 A Good Man by Stampin' Up! | Shop: http://bit.ly/shopwithdawn

As you can see, A Good Man stamp set includes several sentiments, including the one I'm using today.  My eye was drawn to it right away.  It's a perfect sentiment for Father's Day.

How'd She DO That? tips for A Good Man, Good Dad card:

  • Stamps: A Good Man
  • Paper:
    • Crumb Cake (11" x 4-1/4" card base, plus scrap for Rectangle Stitched Die)
    • Whisper White (scrap for Stitched Shape oval)
    • Balmy Blue (4-1/4" x 2" )  
    • Come Sail Away Designer Series Paper (4" x 1-1/2")
  • Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
  • Stampin' Blends Combos: Crumb Cake, Balmy Blue, Night of Navy
  • Other:    Stitched Shapes Dies, Rectangle Stitched Dies, Braided Linen Trim, SNAIL  & Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin' Blends Coloring Tips:

  • For today's card, I did a little coloring practice before I decided on which look I preferred the most.
  • I preferred to start with the dark Stampin' Blend, then come in with the light Stampin' Blend coloring/blending over the dark then over the rest of the area I wanted to color.  I purposely left a small white are on the shirts.  (So artistic of me...I even surprised myself).
  • I was really happy with the results - especially for someone that is not very good at watercoloring.  The Stampin' Blends markers make me look like I know what I'm doing (ha!)
  • So if you're still new to Stampin' Blends Markers, then do a little practicing first.

Use Stampin' Blends with A Good Man cards from Stampin' Up! shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup #agoodman #masculinecards #cardmaking #stampinblends

Here's some additional A Good Man cards from the 2019-2020 Stampin' Up! catalog.  More great examples for coloring with Stampin' Blends!

If you're looking to update your masculine stamp set collection, then A Good Man would be the perfect addition.   Add it to your shopping bag today and get a few Stampin' Blends as well.

Enjoy~Dawn O

The Geared Up Garage stamp set isn't just a Father's Day set.  Use the car emblem style greeting and dies to say "Happy Birthday Dad"!  

How'd She DO That? Geared Up Garage card:

  • Tranquil Tide (11" x 4-1/4" card base, scrap for die) 
  • Whisper White (scraps for stitched oval & die)
  • Basic Black (3-1/4" x 4-1/4", scrap for die)

DOstamping Tips:

  • Adhere DSP to black panel.  Wrap Black/Silver 1/4" Striped Metallic Ribbon around, securing on backside.  Then adhere completed panel to folded card base.
  • For die cutting (Garage Gears Thinlits Dies), the same die cuts the stamped sentiment (on white scrap) and the black "wings".  Die cut Tranquil Tide scrap with matching shape to the sentiment.  Adhere to black die cut with glue dots, then sentiment on top.
  • Adhere completed "emblem" to white Stitched Shapes oval with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  •  Thread Whisper White Baker's Twine through Classic Garage Metal Elements, then wrap around ribbon and tie in a bow.
