Stamping with the STARS #336: Dads & Grads Inspiration - Witty-Cisms

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts336.  This week we're showcasing Dads & Grads projects.

DOstamperSTARS Stamping with the Stars #DOswts336 #dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting

I decided on a Grad card and pulled out the yet-to-be-inked Witty-Cisms stamp set.  This set was inspired by Million Sales Achiever, Lisa Fast.  It matches her wit perfectly!

Stampin' Up! Witty-Cisms card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting  #graduation

How'd She DO That? Witty-Cisms Grad card:

  • Stamps: Witty-Cisms
  • Paper:
    • Pretty Peacock (11" x 4-1/4")
    • Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4", scrap for 2" circle punch)
    • Flirty Flamingo (1" x 4-1/2" strip, scrap for Starburst punchj
    • Dinoroar  & Birthday Bonanza Designer Series Papers (1" x 4-1/2" strips of both)
  • Ink: Pretty Peacock
  • Punches:  2" Circle, Starburst, Banner Triple
  • Other:  Best Dressed Tassels, Whisper White White Bakers Twine Metallic Pearls, SNAIL, Mini Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals

Stampin' Up! Witty-Cisms card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting  #graduationDOstamping Tips:

  • I used scraps I had laying around for the 1" x 4-1/2" strips.  We all have that "scrap" pile, right?
  • Use the Banner Triple Punch to cut all three 1" x 4-1/2" strips of paper.  Arrange together, trims ends as desired.  
  • Before adhering to white panel, wrap Baker's Twine around right edge of strips and tie in a bow.  Then adhere to panel.
  • For the focal point - I double-stacked the Stampin' Dimensionals.  So the tassel would fit just under the edge.
  • Adhere tassel with glue dots.

This card was fun to make and I'm really happy with the way it turned out!  I'm looking forward to using more of the images from the Witty-Cisms stamp set in the near future.  It has a variety of images for a variety of occasions.  It's a keeper. 

If you like it too,  add it to your shopping bag today (and those darling Best Dressed Tassels too!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Dads & Grads: BYOP Gift Card Holders

Today I'm sharing what every Grad wants...a gift card holder for money!  

Stampin' Up! BYOP Gift Card Holder shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping 
These gift card holders come together real quickly when you use the retiring Gift Card Envelope & Trims Thinlits.  Both use the retiring Pop of Pink Designer Series Paper.  

  • Right Holder is assembled according to the instructions and is finished off with a 1" x 6" Belly Band, Gold Satin Ribbon & tied off with Basic Black Solid Bakers Twine.
  • Left Holder leaves one end open for a fun pull-out option.  A 4" x 2-1/2" piece of chipboard is wrapped with Gold Satin Ribbon tied & off with Basic Black Solid Bakers Twine.  A touch of retiring Gold Sequin Trim was added too.
  • Greetings were created using the retiring B.Y.O.P. stamp set by stamping on Versamark Ink first, then onto Memento Tuxedo Black ink pad, then onto Whisper White cardstock.  Cover with Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and melt with Heat tool.  Die cut with Layering Oval Framelits (2-1/4" wide).   

NOTE:  The Pop of Pink DSP was adhered to Basic Black cardstock to cover up the "pink" side and to give the DSP some strength. 

Stampin' Up! BYOP Gift Card Holder shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping 

Quick & Cute!  With many graduations approaching in the next couple of weeks, these Gift Card Holders will come in handy.

Well, that wraps up Dads & Grads week.  I hope you got some inspiration and that you are enjoying my "theme" weeks.  Let me know.

Be sure to get these retiring products soon before they are gone for good.  See supply list below.

Enjoy~Dawn O

Dads & Grads: One Wild Ride (QC & Step-Up!)

Before I get started, here's a little housekeeping...

I've been hearing from several of my readers that you haven't been receiving my Subscription Emails in awhile.  While looking into it, we discovered that they have been removed from the subscription list, but don't recall doing that.  I've contacted my subscription service, Feedblitz and we don't have a clear answer.  

At this point, I recommend doing the following:

  1. Re-subscribe here:  http://www.feedblitz.com/f/?Sub=949853
  2. Add [email protected] to your approved sender list (email contact list)

I hope these two suggestions help.  If you continue to have problems, please contact me directly at [email protected]  I'd be happy to contact Feedblitz to resolve your situation.

Thanks~Dawn O

 


Today I'm sharing a couple of cards using the adventurous stamp set, One Wild Ride.  One is quick & easy and the other is a "step-up" version.

Choosing gifts for motorcyclist enthusiasts is easy: riding pants, goggles, bandanas—done!  But motorcycle-related cards are so much harder to find...not any longer!  The One Wild Ride stamp set is perfect for the hog-riders in your life (or the wanna be hog-rider). You’ll never have to search for the right card again because now you can make it!

Stampin' Up! One Wild Ride card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

  2. Adhere 3/4" x 4-1/4" piece of Brights Designer Series Paper Pack - Pumpkin Pie to card front (as this is already sold out, you could substitute the Pumpkin Pie pattern from the Fiesta Birthday DSP)
  3. Stamp "badge" twice on scraps of Whisper White.  Once with Basic Gray and cut with Best Badge punch.  Again with Pumpkin Pie.  Use scissors to trim out "journey" and cut banner shape on both ends.  Adhere onto gray badge.  Then adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.

  2. Stamp "background" image with Smokey Slate on 2-3/8" Designer Series Paper Stitched Shape Circle.  Adhere to card.

  6. Adhere Metallics Sequins with Glue Dots.  Attach Brights Enamel Shape.

I think Dad will like either card, don't you think?  As I'm looking at these cards, they could even be for someone who's graduating too.

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #226: Pull-Up Gift Card Holder

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a "Product Spotlight" challenge with Stampin' Up! Bundles.  I chose the Banners For You Bundle.

DOSstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #226-Product Spotlight #dostamping

If you like Fun Fold Cards, then you're in for a treat today.  This card idea came from fellow demonstrator, Colleen Magness.  I received it in a swap we both were in and I was immediately drawn to the Pull-up Gift Card Holder fold.  I also knew my Stampin' Club Members would enjoy it too.  With school graduations right around the corner I switched it to a Congratulations themed card.  As you open this fun card - the "gift" will reveal itself.  Take a look...

Pull-up Gift Card Holder with Party Animal Designer Series Paper by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping
 
Pull-up Gift Card Holder measurements
  • Card Base = 4-1/4" x 11" (Emerald Envy cardstock)
    • score at 2" and  7-1/4"
    • fold top down (towards you)
    • fold bottom up (away from  you)
  • Inside panel = 6-3/4" x 3-5/8" (Party Animal Designer Series Paper)
    • score at 1-5/8 and 6"
    • fold like a "Z" fold...small scored area away from you, to behind panel
    • fold bottom upwards (away from you)
 
Pull-up Gift Card Holder:
 
Outside:
  1. Once you've folded your card base (as listed above), the front is the two folded edges.  Stamp confetti image (Balloon Adventure stamp set) with Emerald Envy ink all over the larger top panel.
  2. Stamp greeting (Suite Sentiments) to the right side of 1" x 4-1/4" strip of Whisper White cardstock. To adhere to lower panel...fold large stamped card front over lower panel and position the greeting strip just below the larger stamped piece.  
  3. With lower "greeting" panel folded up, staple front and back of card together to create pocket.  (NOTE: keep staples close to the outside edges)
  4. Use Balloon Bouquet Punch to cut two balloons...large from Party Animal Designer Series Paper and small from Crushed Curry cardstock.  Adhere as follows:
    1. Small Balloon on the lower panel near greeting with Stampin' Dimensional at the bottom of the balloon (do not adhere to the top panel)
    2. Large Balloon on the bottom of the large panel overlapping small balloon (put Stampin' Dimensionals at the top of the balloon (do not adhere to the bottom panel.

Inside:

  1.  With the inside panel folded into a "Z", have the small "panel farthest away from you..."at the top".  Add Tear & Tape to this area (I used two strips).  Then adhere that portion to inside the card base - above the score line (see photo below).
  2. The bottom of the "Z" fold will fold up (insert cash or gift card), then slide down into the card base pocket.  (you may have to help it move down into the pocket.
  3. On scrap of white, stamp banner out (Banners For You) and greeting (Balloon Adventure) with Pacific Point ink.  Die cut with matching image from Bunch of Banners Framelits Dies.  Adhere to inside with Stampin' Dimensionals.

Feb 2017 Paper Pumpkin: Many Happy Birthdays Candy Slider & Card

So, one of the first things I thought of when I saw the February Many Happy Birthdays Paper Pumpkin kit was, this would make a great candy bar slider!  And to my delight, it worked out perfectly...just like I envisioned it in my head - yay!!

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Feb 2017 Kit Many Happy Birthdays Candy Bar Slider by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

Easy Candy Bar Slider

  1. Assemble "card sleeve" from kit as instructed (but exclude the flame).
  2. Cut holes at open end of card with 1/8" handheld circle punch (I was able to punch through both layers at the same time)
  3. Wrap 22" of Flirty Flamingo Ruched Ribbon around candy bar (from top to bottom and back up) and slide into the card sleeve.  Thread "back" ribbon through back hole and "front" ribbon through front hole and tie together in a bow.
  4. Create pull tag by stamping "pull" on scrap of Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink.  Punch with Classic Label punch.  Trim down to size.  Punch 1/8" hole on end.  Thread Night of Navy Baker's Twine through "tag" hole and onto ruched ribbon bow, then tie in a bow.
  5. Die cut 2-1/4" x 1-5/16" Stitched Shape Oval Framelit from Whisper White cardstock.  Stamp images with Night of Navy and Flirty Flamingo inks.  Adhere to front of slider with strips of Stampin' Dimensionals over the window (be careful to not adhere over the window edges to the candy bar)
  6. To open:  pull up on the ribbon and the candy bar slides out...yum!

 

Stampin' Up! Paper Pumpkin Feb 2017 Kit Many Happy Birthdays alternate card idea by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping

My last project turned out to be a "happy accident".  I had punched some stars from the patterned card sleeves, which left some strips of paper with "negative star cutouts.  As I was cleaning up, this strip almost landed in the trash, when I thought..."hmm, I could make something with this by putting stars over the negative spaces".  Though, If I were to make it again - I'd just cut a strip of the paper and add the stars.  I'll share directions for that below.

Celebrate You card

  1. Cut 4-3/8" x 1-1/2" strip from card sleeve.  
  2. Cut 3 stars using Medium Star Punch (Coral Caypso, Night of Navy & Peekaboo Peach cardstock) and adhere to strip with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  3. Stamp greetings on 3/4" strips of Whisper White cardstock with Night of Navy ink.  Trim down to size and trim ends into "flags".  Adhere "celebrate" with Stampin' Dimensionals.  Staple 8" of Night of Navy Baker's Twine and "you" together to strip.  Tie twine in a bow.
  4. Adhere completed "strip" to folded 8-1/2" x 5-1/2" Night of Navy card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
      

This would make for a great graduation or birthday card.  What do you think of these projects?  Super cute, right?
