Stamping with the STARS #325: Shaker Card Inspiration with Frosted Foliage

October 19, 2019

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts325. Today we're showcasing Shaker cards!

I knew right away I was going to reach for the Feels like Frost Suite of Products. I'm tickled with the way it turned out.

How'd She DO That? Frosted Shaker card:

Stamps/Bundles: Frosted Foliage (bundle with Frosted Frame dies and SAVE 10%)
Paper:
- Purple Posy (5-1/2" x 8-1/4" card base)
- Seaside Spray (5" x 4-1/4 for die cut frame)
- Window Sheets (2-5/8" x 2-7/8)
- Feels Like Frost 6x6 Specialty Designer Series Paper (2-3/4" x 5-1/2")
Ink: Versamark
Heat Emboss: Swipe Embossing Buddy over Window Sheet. Stamp greeting with Versamark ink (being careful to stamp straight down, then pull straight up). Cover with White Stampin' Emboss Powder, then flick off the excess. To avoid warping the window sheet, melt with Heat Tool by starting under the window sheet, then above window sheet, rotating back and forth until powder is melted.
Other: Frosted Frames Dies, Shimmery Crystal Effects, Ice Stampin' Glitter, Snail Adhesive & Foam Adhesive Strips

DOstamping Shaker Card Tips:

Adhere DSP to folded card base.
Die cut "frosted frame". Then die cut a "window frame" from center.
Stamp and heat emboss window sheet as described above. Then adhere window sheet to back of frame using Foam Adhesive strips. (note: half will be on the window sheet and half will be on the frame.)
At this point, I do recommend swiping the embossing buddy over the inside of the window sheet (will help a lot with static cling)
ONLY remove 2 backing sheets (the top and one side) from the Foam Adhesive strips and adhere those edges to the DSP on the card.
Then add approximately 1/2 teaspoon of Snowflake Sequins to inside the window.
Remove the last two strips of backing sheets to seal off the shaker.
OPTIONAL: prior to adhering the window sheet to the frame, use the new Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter to add "frost" to the foliage on the frame (will take about 15 minutes to dry). I like to do this on the Silicone Craft Sheet.

That might seem like a lot of steps, but it came together surprisingly fast.

If you enjoy making fun technique cards and want to spread a little yuletide cheer, this Frosted Shaker Card is for you! Be sure to add the Frosted Foliage Bundle to your shopping bag today!

Stampin' Up! Beauty & Joy: Easy Spotlight Card

October 02, 2019

Today I'm sharing a card that made me smile when I made it...love it when that happens. First off, I'm using a new 2019 Holiday Catalog stamp set called, Beauty & Joy.

This Distinktive* stamp set has a special texture that gives added depth and dimension in a single step, creating photo-realistic images. The basket particularly shows off the Distinktive style.

How'd She DO That? Beauty & Joy Spotlight card

Stamps: Beauty & Joy
Paper:
- Crumb Cake (8-1/2" x 4-1/4" card base)
- Very Vanilla (3-1/2" square)
- Early Espresso (3-5/8" square)
Ink: Crushed Curry, Terracotta Tile, Soft Suede, Early Espresso
Other: Sponge Daubers, Stitched Rectangle Dies, Linen Thread, SNAIL, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

I recommend stamping the images from the bottom, building to the top.
For the leaves, ink stamp first with Crushed Curry. Before stamping, use a Sponge Dauber to add Terracotta Tile ink randomly to the leaves. Breathe on stamp to re-moisten and then stamp.
Stamp sentiment slightly overlapping leave image.
To create the "spotlight" - die cut sentiment with Stitched Rectangle Die.
When assembling card - adhere sentiment last with Stampin' Dimensionals.

When I first started stamping this card, I wasn't sure what direction I was going. I thought I'd add the sentiment as a separate layer. But I didn't want it to cover up the two-toned leaves. Then the idea hit me..."spotlight" the sentiment. It was the perfect way to step-up this card just a little bit. And...it was a hit at my club class last week!

Your day with bloom with beauty and joy as you create amazing projects using the Beauty & Joy Stamp Set. I definitely recommend adding it to your Shopping Bag today!

Accented Blooms Watercolor Wash Technique

July 05, 2019

Today I'm sharing a technique card that uses one of my favorite stamp sets that was introduced last year...Accented Blooms.

The technique is called Watercolor Wash and is surprisingly easy to do. It was a huge hit with my Stampin' Club Members. See below for more details.

DOstamping Accented Blooms card:

Stamps: Accented Blooms
Paper:
- Blackberry Bliss (8-1/2" x 4-1/4" card base)
- Shimmery White (3-7/8" square)
- Whisper White (3-7/8" square for inside, scrap for punch)
Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss, Flirty Flamingo
Heat Emboss: Stamp image with Versamark ink on Shimmery White paper. Cover with Silver Stampin' Emboss Powder. Remove excess and melt with Heat Tool.
Other: Tailored Tag Punch, Nature's Twine, AquaPainter, SNAIL, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

How'd She DO That? Accented Blooms Watercolor Wash Tips:

Heat emboss image as described above.
Use Aqua Painter to lightly cover the areas to be colored with water.
Squeeze ink pad together and open. Pick up some of the ink pooled in the inside cover and "wash" color over the floral images (Blackberry Bliss and Flirty Flamingo). NOTE: You may want to pull a little ink off the brush before coloring - as you can always add more color. Let completely dry. Then adhere to 4-1/4" x 8-1/2" folded Blackberry Bliss card base.
Stamp sentiment on scrap of white and cut with Tailored Tag Punch. Adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Loop a piece of Nature's Twine and adhere behind tag with Glue Dots.

What do you think? Cool, huh?

If you haven't added the Accented Blooms stamp set to your collection yet, be sure to add it to your shopping bag today! Oh, and don't forget to get the Tailored Tag Punch too.

Stamping with the STARS #317: Wild Rose Floating Frame Inspiration

June 22, 2019

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts317. This week we're showcasing Floating Frame cards.

The Floating Frame Technique has been floating around the internet lately and the STARS thought we should give it a try. I've seen a couple different ways of doing it. For my cards today, I used Glad Press'n Seal.

How'd She DO That? Wild Rose Floating Frame card:

Bundle: To a Wild Rose stamp set with Wild Rose Dies
Paper:
- Basic Black (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (two of 4" x 5-1/2" (one for inside), and scrap for greeting die)
- Whisper White (full sheet for flowers and leaves)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento, Mango Melody, Calypso Coral & Granny Apple Green
Other: Rectangle Stitched Dies, Happiness Blooms Enamel Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
Stamping Tips: Stamp outline image first, then stamp "solid" image by stamping off first. Then "detailed" image by stamping off first too. I did this for both the flowers and leaves

DOstamping Floating Frame Instructions:

Stamp several flowers and leaves (To a Wild Rose)
Die cut with matching dies (Wild Rose)
Arrange (but do not adhere) on 5-1/2" x 4" piece of Whisper White
Cover with a piece of Press'n Seal, to keep everything in place. Smooth over lightly, but be sure to press down firmly over any "empty areas" (this will help to make sure everything stays together for the next steps)
Trim off overhanging edges, THEN REMOVE Whisper White panel (save)
Die cut opening with Stitched Rectangle Die (2-9/16"x 4")
Flip over and add a lot of Stampin' Dimensionals & Mini Stampin' Dimensionals (I used edges too).
Adhere "frame" to saved Whisper White panel, then to folded card. Remove Press'n Seal.
Stamp sentiment.

Save the center piece to create another card

Adhere to 3-3/8" x 4-3/8" Basic Black Stitched Rectangle
Adhere to 5-1/2" x 8-1/2" folded So Saffron card base.
Sentiment strip measures 5/8" x 4-1/4"

This is one of those kind of card techniques that takes a little extra time, but it's worth it. Especially since it will create two cards!

Last note: I'm completely in LOVE with our new dies. Why? Because the die shapes perfectly line up with the stamped image, yet there still is a little white space surrounding the shape after cutting. It's a perfect cut each time!!

Get the To a Wild Rose Bundle today - you'll love it!

Pop of Petals Wreath Panel Card

June 13, 2019

Often I get asked where I get my inspiration from. There are several answers to that question. However for today's Pop of Petals Wreath Panel card, the inspiration came directly from Stampin' Up!.

Four times a year, Stampin' Up! demonstrators receive a Stampin' Success magazine filled with creative and business inspiration. I fold over the corners of the pages that inspire me and CASE those projects for my classes and clubs. Why not, right? I appreciate that Stampin' Up! provides samples for us to copy. Just a little something to make my "job" easier.

Today's card is an example of a Stampin' Success project, that I used for my Stamping Club Class last month. I left most everything the same with the exception of the greeting. Other changes I made, the white piece opens (like a "mini card"), with a 1/4 sheet card base panel. (Yes - I like panel cards!)

How'd She DO That? tips for Pop of Petals Wreath Panel card:

Stamps: Pop of Petals, Itty Bitty Birthdays
Paper:
- Soft Sea Foam (4-1/4 x 5-1/2" card base and 5/8" x 4" sentiment)
- Whisper White (3-1/2" x 5-1/2" score at 4-1/4", and 4-1/2" x 1-1/2" for border punch)
- Petal Pink (scraps for flowers)
Ink: Soft Sea Foam, Mossy Meadow, Petal Pink
Other: 4-Petal Flower Punch, 2-1/4" Circle Punch (for wreath template), Gold Faceted Gems, Linen Thread, Glue Dots, & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

On 4-1/4" x 5-1/2" piece of Soft Sea Foam - stamp "flower group" with same ink in upper left and lower right corners
Fold 3-1/2" x 8-1/2" Whisper White cardstock in half (to create a mini card)
Creating the stamped wreath:
- Cut a circle template with 2-1/4" Circle Punch.
- Place on front of folded "mini card" and use a pencil to draw around the circle.
- Stamp leaf image around circle with Mossy Meadow ink (the line will be the center of the leaf). Stamp one leaf, then before reinking, stamp again (moving around the circle).
- Repeat until the wreath is complete.
Cut 1-1/2" x 4-1/2" strip of Whisper White with Decorative Ribbon Border Punch and adhere to back of folded white piece. Then adhere stamped mini card to stamped Soft Sea Foam panel.
Stamp greeting on 4" x 5-/8" strip (towards right edge), and adhere over wreath.
Stamp (3) flowers on Petal Pink scrap with Petal Pink ink. Cut out with Four-Petal Flower Punch. Adhere to card with Glue Dots. Attach Gold Faceted Gems to flower centers.
Tie (2) 10" lengths of twine in a bow, adhere with a Glue Dot

I'm lovin' that the Pop of Petals stamp set is for more than just flowers. Anything that can make a wreath, I'm all for!!

When you purchase this stamp set, be sure to add the matching punch to your shopping bag too!

Everything is Rosy Day 4: Triple Time Stamping & FB Live Replay

May 16, 2019

For Day 4 of Everything is Rosy Product Medley, I have a couple of cards for you using the Triple Time Stamping Technique.

The trick for Triple Time Stamping is to stamp all three of the white panels at the same time, by "stacking" them on top of each other. Then add a mat for each layer and adhere together on the card re-aligning images.

How'd She DO That? tips for Triple Time Stamping Rosy card:

Product Medley: Everything is Rosy
Paper:
- Night of Navy (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (2" x 3-1/4", 3" x 4-1/4"and 4" x 5-1/4")
- Rose Gold Foil (from kit) (2-1/4" x 3-1/2", 3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
Ink: Melon Mambo, Night of Navy, Balmy Blue (note: flower center & pink leaf is Melon Mambo stamped-off)
Other: Ribbon & label (from kit), Snail & Stampin' Dimensionals

Take a closer look...the flower center & pink leaf are Melon Mambo ink stamped-off first.

After making the first card, I challenged myself to make a masculine card with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley.

Can you tell what's different? There isn't the small top layer. Let's call it, Double Time Stamping.

How'd She DO That? tips for Double Time Stamping Leaf card:

Product Medley: Everything is Rosy
Stamps: A Good Man (coming June 4)
Paper:
- Night of Navy (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base, and 3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
- Crumb Cake (3" x 4-1/4"and 4" x 5-1/4")
Ink: Night of Navy, Crumb Cake
Other: Tailored Tag Punch, Nature's Twine, Snail & Stampin' Dimensionals

Take a closer look...the leaf on the sentiment piece was stamped with Crumb Cake. The sentiment is from A Good Man stamp set, coming June 4.

I was excited that I could create a masculine card with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley - as it gives it even more versatility!

WATCH VIDEO: Everything is Rosy Product Medley - 8 projects!
Includes demonstrations of Quick & Cute cards, Flip-It cards and today's cards

This product medley is a must-have for any card maker. With all of it's contents, you only have to add ink and cardstock.

Add it to your shopping bag today, as the Everything is Rosy Product Medley will only be available during May, while supplies last!

Farewell Lovely As A Tree

May 13, 2019

What can I say...I'll definitely be missing the Lovely as a Tree when it officially retires June 3rd.

Did you know...it is 18 years old? The longest running stamp set. It's timeless tree images will fill any landscape and keep you in tune with nature. They're great for watercoloring, stamping techniques and more.

Lovely As A Tree Wood-Mount Stamp Set

As I take a stroll down memory lane, I'm reminded of how I developed as a stamper, card maker, photographer, as well as a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator. We all start at the beginning, but we don't always realized how far we've come.

Lovely as a Tree Embossed Resist Glitter:

TIPS before starting:

Mix Clear Stampin' Emboss Powder and Dazzling Diamonds Stampin' Glitter together to get a glittery embossing powder.
Create "masking template":
- Temporarily adhere a 2-3/8" x 4" piece of scrap cardstock in the very center of a 4" x 5-1/4" piece of scrap cardstock (I used crumb cake).
- Trace around it, then remove it. Use the tracing lines to cut out the center of the cardstock.
- Now the crumb cake piece will have a "window" for you to use for stamping and sponging.

Lovely as a Tree - Versamark Resist

Tips for best results:

Use Glossy Paper (retiring)
Stamp images with Versamark Ink.
Brayer or sponge ink over entire piece of stamped glossy paper. Versamark stamped images will resist the ink.
Optional: add additional stamped images with another color.

Last, but not least, here's a Lovely as a Tree blast from the past (2005). Not only does this card remind me of my earlier days, but reminds of where I started with my stamping, as I had only been stamping for a couple of years by then.

This card was created prior to starting my blog. At the time, I was sharing my creations on the Splitcoaststampers online community. I actually used a scanner to "capture" my cards and then uploaded them to the community. I've come a long way since then. To a camera, then added a photo tent, then upgraded my camera and now use my phone.

Lovely as a Tree - Multicolored Heat Embossing

Stamp tree with Versamark ink.
Then sprinkle various colors of embossing powders in specific areas. Just take a pinch for each area.
When removing the excess - don't put it back in the embossing powder jars, as all of the colors will be mixed together.
Melt with heat tool and watch your creation come to life!

If you do own the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, I hope you enjoy this retirement showcase.

If you don't have the Lovely as a Tree stamp set, you'll want to get it now, before it's gone. As you can see from above, there is so much you can do with it!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Everything is Rosy Product Medley Day 2: #DOswts314 Collar Fold

May 11, 2019

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Inspiration Hop #DOswts314. This week we're showcasing Collar Fun Fold cards!

I knew right away I would be using the Everything is Rosy Product Medley for today's challenge.

Immediately I was drawn to the light pink paper with small flower bunches. It reminded of the dresses I used to put my daughters in when they were little. I thought it might be fun to decorate the collar area to give the impression of a dress.

How'd She DO That? Everything is Rosy Collar Fun Fold card:

Product Medley: Everything is Rosy (stamp set, dies, DSP, mirror embellishments)
Paper:
- Balmy Blue (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (scraps for stamping & die cutting)
- Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4")
Ink: Night of Navy, Melon Mambo
Other: Big Shot, Pearlized Doilies & Stampin' Dimensionals

Collar Fun Fold Tips:

At the middle of a long edge of 4" x 5-1/4" DSP, use scissors to cut in towards center about 2" (experiment on scrap paper as needed)
Fold each side away from the cut edge. I kept about a 3/4" edge at the top of each side (again, experiment as needed)
Adhere to folded card base, and stamp greeting.
Cut a doily in half, adhere under each "flap". Then adhere each flap down with a Stampin' Dimensional.
Decorate with flower die cuts

DOstamping Tips:

On Whisper White cardstock, stamp large flower with Melon Mambo and large leaf with Night of Navy.
Ink smaller flower with Melon Mambo, stamp off on scratch paper, then onto Whisper White. Repeat. Stamp small dots with Night of Night.
Die cut all images with matching shapes.
Arrange around collar and adhere with Stampin' Dimensionals and glue dots.
Finish off with mirror embellishment

I had so much fun with the Collar Fun Fold. I know I'll be trying it again. Have fun creating your own Collar Fun Fold cards and playing with the Everything is Rosy Product Medley!
