Mail art is a new trend of sending mailable art in pocket pages.   Basically, you fill all the pockets of a photo pocket page (think Project Life) and mail the whole page to someone who wants to swap or to your existing penpals.  Sounds like fun!  Check out the video above that features the gorgeous Hello Lovely Project Life products turned into Mail Art.

Petal Potpourri Bundle with SAB Simply Wonderful

OK, I have to admit...at first glance of the Petal Potpourri Bundle (with Flower Medallion Punch), I told myself I didn't need another flower punch  & stamp. But I ended up getting it anyways (the attraction of the "bundle" savings is just too much for the accountant in me - ha!)  And guess what?  Once I started playing with it, I decided I really liked it after all.  Does that happen to you?

Petal Potpourri Bundle (save 15%) card with SAB Simply Wonderful card created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

Today's QC cards are a Petal Potpourri Bundle catalog "case" (copy and share everything).  Sometimes to just get the creative juices going with a stamp set, I like to pull out the catalog and copy Stampin' Up!'s sample .  I was inspired by the one shown on page 23 of the 2015 Occasions Catalog.

Petal Potpourri Bundle (save 15%) #dostamping #stampinup

You'll notice that mine is not exactly the same.  I "Dawn-ified" it.  Meaning, I put my own twist on it.

Petal Potpourri Bundle (save 15%) card with SAB Simply Wonderful card created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

I wanted to use the buttons from the Best Year Ever Accessory Pack and couldn't decide on a color combination, so I created two cards:

  • Calypso Coral & Crisp Cantaloupe
  • Pistachio Pudding & Rich Razzleberry (with Crushed Curry)
  • Leaves are Wild Wasabi 

Petal Potpourri Bundle (save 15%) card with SAB Simply Wonderful card created by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #stampinup

Ooh - if you look close at the white "tag", you'll see that it has grid lines on it.  That's the Project Life 4" X 3" Grid Cards (cut down to 4" x 2-1/2").  They come in a pack of 50.  I think I may be reaching for these more often as I really like the subtle look of the grid lines.  It adds a little visual texture to the card. 

The greeting is from the Sale-a-Bration Simply Wonderful stamp set - it's filled with several wonderful greetings and is only available with a $50 purchase for a few more days(ends March 31st).

Which one do you like?  Calypso Coral or Pistachio Pudding?

Your Stamping Friend~Dawn O

Meet Elizabeth... 

In 2002 a friend held a party - I was hooked.  I ended up joining in 2004, so that i could have it all!  Eventually my original upline dropped and though I never was super huge, my business kinda floundered with moves and hurricanes and life, so I quit too. But after about 6 months I decided I couldn't live without this rubber crack and rejoined up as a STAR! I love the encouragement, ideas and support of the STARS community. I'm glad I found you (Dawn)!  You're encouraging, supportive, and creative as all get out but not pushy. You care about us which is why your business does so well.

From sharing creative ideas and tips, swaps, business tips, surPRIZE Patrol and more...we have a fabulous community of stampers.   I look forward to giving you a warm welcome!

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #108: Color My World with December Wonder

It's time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.  This week we're having a Color Challenge!  

108

Ooh, I'm lovin' this color combo.  It think it would be great for a masculine card, baby card or even sympathy card.  However, I decided to go with a holiday card and grabbed the Project Life December Wonder stamp set from the Holiday Supplement (my new favorite stamp set right now!)  

December Wonder stamp set with Snowflake Card Thinlits Die by Dawn Olchefske, dostamping  #DSC108 #cardmaking  #stampinup 

Dawn's Stamping Tips

  • Randomly stamp the snowflakes and star images on a 1" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock
    • Large snowflake = Bermuda Bay, Small snowflake = Coastal Cabana (stamped twice before reinking), star = Soft Suede
  • Adhere to 4" x 5-1/4" piece of Whisper White Cardstock
  • Adhere 1/2" x 5-1/4" strip of Champagne Glimmer Paper to 5/8" x 5-1/4" strip of Coastal Cabana cardstock.  Then adhere to card as shown
  • Stamp greeting with Soft Suede ink
  • Die cut 2 whisper white small snowflakes using the Snowflake Card Thinlit Die.  Adhere together with mini glue dot.  Adhere to card with mini glue dot
  • Adhere 3 Coastal Cabana Sequins with mini glue dots
  • Adhere completed panel to folded 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" Soft Suede cardbase
  • Stand back and admire your handiwork.
  • Send to someone special!

December Wonder stamp set with Snowflake Card Thinlits Die by Dawn Olchefske, dostamping  #DSC108 #cardmaking  #stampinup

I think the strip of glimmer paper and sequins takes this card up a notch.  Yet, it's still nice and flat for mailing.  We all like that right? 

Thanks for stopping by~Dawn O

Gift Box Punch Board Snowman 

Snowman Gift Box Board Punch create by Dawn Olchefske, dostamping  #christmashome #snowman #stampinup

Ever since I got my hands on the Stampin' Up! Gift Box Punch Board, I had envisioned a "stacked" snowman.  I even made up three white gift boxes right away.  Then I must have gotten distracted and never finished the project (does that happen you too?).  So today was the day to finish it.  What do you think?  It looks perfect sitting on my fireplace. But you could also fill each box with a little surprise for a fun gift.

You'll need to make the following box sizes:

  • 4" square box - Whisper White (12x12)
  • 3-1/4" square box - Whisper White (10x10)
  • 2-1/2" square box - Whisper White (8x8)
  • 1-3/4" square box - Basic Black (6x6)
  • Hat Brim - Basic Black (4x4)

Holiday Treat Fry Box

Holiday Treat Fry Box with Merry Everything Bundle create by Dawn Olchefske, dostamping  #christmashome #holidaypackaging  #stampinup

If you have to make a lot of holiday treats - Stampin' Up!'s Fry Box Die was made just for you!  The die cuts & scores for you and with just a little adhesive you're done!  Before assembling, I quickly stamped some snowflakes from the Project Life December Wonder stamp set (from the Holiday Supplement). 

Holiday Treat Fry Box with Merry Everything Bundle create by Dawn Olchefske, dostamping  #christmashome #holidaypackaging  #stampinup

I added the Note Tag Punch stamped with the Merry Everything stamp set.  Tied off some "jingle bells" (I know...it's a stretch) made with the round tag die from the Curvy Keepsakes Box Thinlit Dies.

Insert candy and you're done!  Actually, it was the candy that inspired this box.  The blue foiled wrapped candy is Hershey's Cookies & Cream Kisses, and reminded me of "silver bells".
