Get Well

Splendid Thoughts Bundle: Sending Hugs

Today I'm sharing a card that features products from the Splendid Day Suite.

Like a walk in the park, the Splendid Day Suite will fill your projects with a breath of fresh air. The pastel colors and hand-drawn botanical imagery are reminiscent of a crisp spring morning. Use the colorful foil and nature-inspired patterns to make your projects shine.

Splendid Day Suite Collection [159681]

 

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #getwellcards

Back in June, I attended a Stampin' Up! virtual event, Creativity Now.  We created five projects using Splendid Day Suite products.  As usual, I not only didn't complete my projects (I like to chat too much), but I switched them up.  Using the same supplies (plus a few extra), I created this alternative idea.

DOstamping Supplies/Measurements:

  • Stamps/Bundles: Splendid Thoughts Bundle (includes Splendid Stems Dies)
  • Paper:
    • Basic White Thick (11" x 4-1/4" card base, scraps for two detailed leaf die cuts, scrap for 2-1/8" Stylish Shapes circle die cut)
    • Coral Calypso  (2-3/4" x 4" - add texture with embossing folder, large scrap for detailed leaf die cut) 
    • Soft Sea Foam (3" x 4-1/4", large scrap to stamp and die cut large leaf image )
    • Petal Pink (scrap to stamp and die cut eucalyptus image)
    • Splendid Day Specialty Designer Series Paper (1-3/8"  2-1/4")
  • Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Calypso Coral
  • Other:   Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Stylish Shapes Dies, Brick &  Mortar 3D Embossing Folder, Open Leaf Trinkets, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin’ Up! Splendid Thoughts Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #getwellcards

How'd She DO That? Sending Hugs Card:

  • Adhere textured embossed Calypso Coral piece to folded card base.
  • Stamp both leafy images with black ink (on Petal Pink and Soft Sea Foam scraps), then die cut.
  • Put a couple dabs of Seal Adhesive in center of Soft Sea Foam panel.  Arrange all five leafy die cuts over the adhesive.  May need to use a few glue dots too.
  • Adhere DSP piece (the plant box) with Stampin' Dimensionals - one in each corner
  • For sentiment, trim off about 7/8" of 2-1/8" Stylish Shapes circle die cut, then stamp sentiment.  It's adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals on the left edge and glue dots on right edge.
  • Adhere entire piece to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Use a glue dot to adhere and tuck trinket into the plant box.

Stampin’ Up! Eden’s Garden Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #quickandcute cu

DOstamping Tips:

  • The key to making this layout work is the positioning of the large floral image.  Notice that it's stamped not only all the way to the left edge, but slightly off the edge as well.  This makes it looks more visually interesting.
  • Use Paper Snips to create a banner shape in the end of the strip of DSP. 
  • When adhering sentiment shape use Stampin' Dimensionals with both leaf die cuts attached to the back of it.
  • The coordinating Garden Gems add the finishing touch

Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin kit December 2020 #dostamping #paperpumpkin #alternatives #birthdaycards

How'd She DO That Quick & Cute Hooray Card:

  • Trim out a 2-1/2" x 5-1/4" piece from a printed envelope (from kit).  Adhere to 4" x 5-1/4" white panel, and then to 4-1/4" x 11" folded Blackberry Bliss card base.
  • Cut a Coral Calypso heart using the Heart Punch Pack. 
  • The sentiment (from kit) is stamped with Coral Calypso ink .  It's cut with the coming soon Double Oval Punch (154242).  The Blackberry Bliss scallop oval is cut with the same punch.  I think this is gonna be a new favorite of mine!
  • Finish off with the cute cupcake die cut (from kit) and Elegant Faceted Gems

 

Beary Comforting Paper Pumpkin kit December 2020 #dostamping #paperpumpkin #alternatives

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts311.  This week we're having fun with the Spotlighting Technique!

DOstamping with the STARS, Spotlighting Technique Inspiration Hop #DOswts311 #dostamperSTARS #stampinupSpotlighting Technique using Dandelion Wishes byStampin' Up!, created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #DOswts311

OK, I have to admit it.  When I was going through my stamp sets to select just the right image for the Spotlighting Technique, I did not even consider the Dandelion Wishes set.  But for some reason it "spoke to me" and  jumped into my hands.  So I went with it.  I'm glad I did, as I'm happy with the results.

How'd She DO That? Dandelion Wishes card:

  • Whisper White Thick (11" x 4-1/4" card base) 
  • Whisper White (4" x 3" and scrap)
  • Night of Navy (4-1/2" x 3-1/2" and scrap)

Spotlighting Technique using Dandelion Wishes byStampin' Up!, created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #DOswts311

Spotlighting Technique Instructions:

  • Select a stamp set to use ("outline images" work nicely for this technique)
    • I used Dandelion Wishes
  • Stamp image with black or neutral ink
    • I used Night of Navy
  • Stamp again with same ink on a scrap piece
    • or a different colored ink for more "solid image" type - I used Mango Melody
  • Die cut or punch out only a PORTION of the extra stamped image into a circle (or square, etc) to become the spotlight.
    • I used the 1" Circle and 1-1/8" Scallop Circle Punches. 
  • If needed, color the spotlight piece and layer onto a colored cardstock matte.
  • Then adhere the spotlight piece over the original image, lining up both images.

Wouldn't this be a nice card to let someone know you're thinking of them?

Let your stamps "speak" to you and give the Spotlighting Technique a try!

Enjoy~Dawn O

  • Adhere Night of Navy label to card front (from kit).

As you can probably tell - I really liked the October Friends of a Feather Paper Pumpkin kit.  The kit originally was designed to create 8 cards.  However, I got 20 cards out of the kit using the alternates I created - wow!!  I'll be mailing them out this week to some special people

Healing Hugs: Card Cutting Trick

Today's project feature's a new stamp set called Healing Hugs.  It's a "Distinktive" stamp which allows different shading to come through a single stamped image for a photo-realistic flower (scroll down to learn more about this stamp set.)

Card cutting trick by Dawn Olchefske, Stampin' Up! Healing Hugs #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #getwellcards #healinghugs

When making this card, I wanted to create a simple but unique card front.  It needed to be easy, as I was making 26 of them for a swap.  So here's what I came up with...

Card cutting trick by Dawn Olchefske, Stampin' Up! Healing Hugs #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #getwellcards #healinghugs

DOstamping Card Cutting Trick:

  • After folding a 11" x 4-1/4" card base in half, I trimmed off 3-1/4" from the front (at the time, I just eye-balled that measurement).   
  • Then I thought, "how can I incorporate the cut-off piece into my card?"  
  • As the cut-off piece now measured 4-1/4" x 3-1/4", I cut a piece of white to 4" x 3", stamped and layer them together.  
  • That layer is adhere to the left side of the card only, with Stampin' Dimensionals
  • It was exactly what I had in my head and worked out perfectly (which doesn't always happen)

Card cutting trick by Dawn Olchefske, Stampin' Up! Healing Hugs #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #getwellcards #healinghugs

Measurements for Healing Hugs card:

  1. Stamps: Healing Hugs
  2. Paper:
    • Rich Razzleberry (11" x 4-1/4" card base, score at 5-1/2", then trim off 3-1/4" from the card front - save) 
    • Whisper White (4" x 5-1/2" inside, 3" x 4", scrap for punch)
    • Gray Granite (4-1/4" x 3/4")
  3. Ink: Rich Razzleberry
  4. Other:  Tailored Tag Punch, Tea Room Combo Pack Ribbon & Stampin' Dimensionals

WATCH VIDEO: Healing Hugs Distinktive Stamp Set

Besides the beautiful flower, what drew me to the Healing Hugs stamp set was the greetings.  I don't have many "Gel Well" greetings and this stamp set has four to choose from (I like choices).  Add it to your shopping bag today!   

Enjoy~Dawn O
