DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC303 Product Spotlight #dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy
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.

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!  

Be sure to stop by on Friday, as I have a special Tropical Escape treat for you!

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.  

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC298 Product Spotlight #dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #diy

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.

Double Dutch Door Fun Fold Card by Dawn Olchefske, uses Stampin' Up!  Country Home, Tin Tile Texture Folder & Stampin' Blends for DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #DSC298 #dostamping #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #stampinblends, #countryhome

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:

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!

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #274-Product Spotlight #dostamping

This week's inspiration is Stampin' Up! "critter" images - any animal, insect, critter; cute or realistic.  As I was looking through the catalog to see what to use...oh my, there are a lot of stamps set to choose from.  But I hadn't used the 2018 Occasions Catalog Bird Banter stamp set yet, so that is what I chose.

    • Pool Party (scrap for 1-1/2" scallop square)

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #270: Lots of Lavender with mounting trick!

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

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #270-Product Spotlight #dostamping
Last night was my Stamp-a-Stack class and one of the cards we made featured the beautiful Lots of Lavender Sale-a-Bration stamp set.  I think my customers were surprised at how easily the card came together.  That's because I used a "mounting trick" for the leaves and stem (see below for details).  This especially works great with photopolymer stamp sets.

Mounting Tip for Stampin' Up! Sale-a-Bration Lots of Lavender stamp set from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup  #stamping #rubberstamping #lotsoflavender #saleabration

Tip:  Easy alignment of stem & leaves:

  • stamp lavender image with black ink.
  • place the 3 leaf/stem images (uninked) directly onto the lavender stamped image in the coordinating areas.  
  • press an "E" block onto all 3 images.  
  • ink up with Old Olive and stamp all at once.
  • If you're making multiple cards, this saves time as well as perfect placement every time!
