On My Mind Paper Pumpkin: Ideas for Woven Threads

August 06, 2019

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

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.

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!

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.

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.

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

June 06, 2019

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.

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.

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

Birthday Monday: Geared Up Garage Car Emblem Card

March 18, 2019

This week's Birthday Monday card features the new Classic Garage Suite.

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)
Classic Garage Designer Series Paper (3" x 4")

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.

If you've been enjoying the Classic Garage projects I've been sharing this month, then you'll enjoy this months ordering gift. See details below...

After we were done making the kit cards, he wanted to make a card of his own design. I don't generally bring too many supplies with me, so he had me hopping a little bit to find just the right things for his cards. Though, he mostly used the leftover supplies from the kit. Take a look...

He used the Designer Tin of Cards (coordinating stamp set for the kit above - now sold out).

Max turned 10 a few months ago (and his brother Sam is 8). He recently got glasses and looks so grown up. He was really excited to stamp with me. Each time we thought his cards were done, he thought of something else he wanted to add. The final addition was the small balloons on the inside of the card. He wanted to make sure that I told you, "he purposely left some space on the left side for you to add your own message". Didn't he do a great job? He'd love it if you left a comment for him.

We had so much fun stamping together...nothing is better!

It's the final hours of the 2016-2017 Annual Catalog! Get your favorites tonight before they are gone for good - ends at 11:50pm (MT) tonight, 5/31!

Framed Art: New Fresh Florals with Layering Love

May 26, 2017

I'm finishing out Sneak Peek week with a special Framed Art piece. It features the new Fresh Florals Product Suite (coming June 1st) and the returning Layering Love stamp set. And, it's surprisingly quick and easy to make.

Fresh Florals Framed Art (5x5)

Die cut 1" x 5" strip of new Powder Pink cardstock with hearts die from Mini Treat Bag Thinlits. Adhere to 1-1/4" x 5" strip of new Berry Burst cardstock. Then adhere to 5" x 5" piece of new Fresh Florals Designer Series Paper.
Wrap Whisper White Bakers Twine around project and tie in a bow.
Use new 2017-2019 In Color Stampin' Write Markers (Power Pink & Berry Burst) to color greeting, and stamp on Whisper White cardstock. Die cut with 3-1/4" wide oval (Stitched Shape Framelit) and adhere to 3-1/2" wide scallop oval (Layering Ovals Framelits). Adhere to project with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Insert into a 5"x 5" frame (found at Hobby Lobby)

The Fresh Florals Product Suite features the new 2017-2019 In Colors and I predict it will be a hit. You'll definitely want to add it to your wish list for June 1st (after 12pm MT)!

In the meantime, you'll want to stop back this weekend for highlights from some of my favorite punches, Big Shot products and stamp sets!

Enjoy~Dawn O

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #230: Always an Adventure Diorama Fold for Dads & Grads

May 10, 2017

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

For today's card, I have a Grad card for you using the retiring Always an Adventure stamp set and matching Outdoor Adventure Framelits Dies.

Whether you’re an avid camper or a weekend outdoor enthusiast, you’ll love the images in this set. Use them to bring the great outdoors to your cards or to scrapbook camping and nature memories.

Always an Adventure Diorama Fun Fold (finished size 5-1/2" x 3-1/2" )

Score 5-1/2" x 10-1/2" Soft Suede card base at 3-1/2, 6-1/2, 7 & 10"
With the 1/2" panel on your right (referred to as the 5th panel), die cut a 2-3/8" circle (Layering Circle Framelits) in the 4th panel (just left of the 1/2" panel). Do not assemble yet - decorate first.
Stamp images (retiring Always an Adventure stamp set) on Whisper white scraps with Crumb Cake (directional pole), Early Espresso (bear), Pear Pizzazz (tent), Early Espresso & Tangerine Tango markers (fire).
Die cut with matching shapes from retiring Outdoor Adventure Framelits. Die cut Garden Green single tree & trees edgelit. Die cut Crumb Cake mountains & Whisper White mountain tops. Die cut 2-1/8" Soft Sky circle & 2-1/4" Crumb Cake scallop circle.
Decorate:
1. Front (1st panel): Adhere 1-1/2" x 3-1/2" Garden Green cardstock (DSP is sold out). Adhere 3-1/2" piece of Burlap Ribbon. Adhere Circle/Scallop die cuts together, then to panel with Stampin' Dimensionals. Adhere die cuts as shown.
2. Inside (2nd panel): Place 5-1/2" x 2-7/8" Soft Sky cardstock on 2nd panel to get alignment of window area. Fold window panel over and make a couple of marks at edge of the window with a pencil. Adhere mountains so they'll shown through the window. Stamp clouds with Versamark ink. Erase pencil marks and adhere.
3. Window (4th panel): Adhere tree edgelit, tent & fire. Stamp greeting (retiring Places You Go stamp set) with Soft Suede ink.
Place Fast Fuse adhesive on the 5th-panel (1/2" flap) and fold over to adhere to the inside edge of the 1st panel. Card should fold flat, then "pop-up" when open.

What a fun card, right? It could work for both Dads & Grads. With a change of the greeting to Happy Father's Day - you'll have a fun card for the outdoor lovin' Dad! Plus - what Dad can resist a fun-fold card? I know my Dad can't!

Be sure to add the retiring stamps and framelits to your wish list and get them before they are gone (see list below)!

Enjoy~Dawn O
