Storybook Moments: You're the Most Awesome Fisherman!

June 05, 2025

If you're thinking ahead for Father's Day (June 15), then you'll enjoy today's card featuring a couple of the fun die cuts from the Storybook Moments Suite.

When I was making the Black & Pink Tote (that I shared here), I discovered some tiny little "fish" shapes on my crafting space.

I thought, "where did they come from"? Well, they came from some of the decorative shapes included the Notes & Totes Dies. I thought they would pair well with the badger fishman die cut from the Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper.

How'd She DO That? Awesome Fisherman card

Stamps: Storybook Friends, Trusty Tools
Paper:
- Pool Party (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Basic White (4" x 5-1/4")
- Crumb Cake (1" x 2-1/4")
- Early Espresso (scrap for "fish" die cuts from Notes & Totes Dies)
- Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper (pre-cut shapes)
Ink: Early Espresso, Pecan Pie, Pool Party, Old Olive Stampin' Blends Combo Pack
Other: Blending Brushes, Mini Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Notes & Totes Dies, Stampin' Seal, Multipurpose Liquid Glue, Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

To create the landscape:
- on white panel, using Storybook Friends, stamp the rocks image near the bottom with Early Espresso ink.
- use Blending Brushes to add Pecan Pie ink for the "ground & rock fence", and Pool Party ink to create "water",
- use Old Olive Stampin' Blends to color the "bushes" in the rock fence line.
Adhere Storybook Moments Designer Series Paper die cuts with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Adhere Notes & Totes "fish" die cuts with Multipurpose Liquid Glue.

How cute is this? My husband loves to fish, so this will be perfect for him for Father's Day or even his birthday.

Celebratory Sips with Flower Garden Foils & Custom Background Stamp

May 27, 2025

Today I'm sharing an Online Exclusive Celebratory Sips Suite card featuring an easy custom background stamping technique.

How'd She DO That? Celebratory Sips Background Stamped card

Stamps/Bundles: Cheers & Sips Bundle - includes dies
Paper:
- Blackberry Bliss (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Basic White (4" x 5-1/4" for inside, scrap for Nested Essentials smallest banner die cut)
- Garden Flower Foils - Pretty in Pink (1" x 4-1/4")
- Celebratory Sips Designer Series Paper ( 2-¼” x 3-½” for Nested Essentials banner die cut, ¾” x 3-½” orange stripe, cut left end at angle, scraps for fussy cutting two drink glasses)
Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss
Other: D Clear Block, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Nested Essentials Dies, Paper Snips, Holographic Resin Dots, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

Create a custom "background" stamp by mounting several images onto a "D" block.
Use it to stamp all over folded card base with VersaMark ink.
You might think Versamark ink is only for heat embossing, but it's great for tone on tone stamping!

What do you think? Cute, huh?

Beautiful Gallery Suite: Beautifully Stamped Framed

May 13, 2025

Today I'm sharing a card I made with the new Beautiful Gallery Suite.

This gorgeous suite is filled with moody landscapes, floral sketches, and more. You’ll love this paper’s eclectic collection of dramatic designs and artistic details.

How'd She DO That? Beautiful Motifs card

Stamps/Bundles: Beautiful Motifs (also available in a bundle with dies)
Paper:
- Cloud Cover (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Secret Sea (2-7/8" x 4-5/8")
- Basic White (4" x 5-1/4" to die cut frame (need smaller one), scrap for smallest Stylish Shapes circle die cut)
- Beautiful Gallery Designer Series Paper (2-1/2" x 4")
Ink: Secret Sea
Other: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Beautiful Motifs Dies, Small Blending Brushes, Basic Beige 3/8" Classic Ribbon, Basic Gray & Smoky Slate Pearls, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

To create the stamped frame:
- Use a small Blending Brush to add Secret Sea ink to small white frame die cut - use a light to medium touch (I recommend starting out lighter, as you can always add more to get your desired shade).
- Use damask image to stamp on frame with Secret Sea ink.
- Adhere DSP to center of Secret Sea panel, then adhere stamped frame over it with Stampin' Dimensionals (edges work great for this).
I also used the "leftover" ink on the Blending Brush to add color to the Basic Beige 3/8" Classic Ribbon.

I love the way the stamped frame turned out. You're want to give it a try.

Botanical Textures Suite: Step Fold Easel Card with Rock & Roll Technique

March 28, 2025

Today I'm sharing another fun fold card called a Step Fold Easel card.

This card focuses on the Online Exclusive Botanicals Textures Suite and features the Rock & Roll technique for the focal point. It's surprisingly easy to create. I've included instructions for both below.

How'd She DO That? Step Fold Easel Card card

Stamps: Textured Notes
Paper:
- Cajun Craze – (5-1/2” x 8-1/2” step card base score at 1-1/4”, 2-1/2”, 5-1/2”)
- Cajun Craze – (3-1/4” x 8-1/2” easel card score at 4-1/4”)
- Basic White – (two of 3” x 4”, 3” square for sentiment)
- Woven Textures Designer Series Paper (1” x 5-1/4”, 2-3/4” x 5-1/4”)
Ink: Crumb Cake, Cajun Craze, Tuxedo Black Memento
Other: Simply Scored, 2" Circle Punch, White 1/4" Ribbon, Neutral Matte Dots, , Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Instructions:

Adhere Woven Textures Designer Series Paper pieces to 1st and 3rd panel of step card base (with smallest panels towards you).
Stamp small leafy image repeatedly on top and bottom of a white piece with Cajun Craze ink (some are stamped off). Adhere to easel card front
Wrap ribbon around easel card front and tie in a bow where shown.
Ink up basket circle image with Crumb Cake ink and stamp off. Then roll edges of stamp into Cajun Craze ink pad (this is called the Rock & Roll technique), then stamp onto 3” white square. Stamp sentiment with black ink. Cut with 2” Circle Punch and adhere to easel card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Lay both cards flat and adhere together only at the bottom edges.
Attach dots where shown.
Optional: Repeat rock & roll technique in the left bottom corner of the 2nd white panel and adhere to back of easel card. (see photo below)

3. Take three more strips and adhere them down at an angle in the upper left corner, bumping up to the strips from step b & a - all the way to the lower right corner. Trim off excess from edges.
4. Take three more pieces (may have to cut straight edges from the trimmed excess pieces) and adhere them down at an angle bumping up to the strips from step c - all the way to the lower left corner. Trim off excess from edges.
5. Use extra pieces to fill adhere at an angle bumping up to the strips from step d. Trim off excess from edges.

With the use of our recently refreshed Stampin' Write Markers, the coloring of the floral arrangement came together quickly. If you haven't used the new Stampin' Write Markers, you'll discover a newly designed bullet point. It's a delight to color with!

PLUS - you can get two Stampin' Write color collections for FREE when you join Stampin' Up! during Sale-a-Bration (scroll down for details)

DOstamping Tips:

Use Stampin' Write Markers to color as follows:
- Color petals with Daffodil Delight brush tip, but using a quick downward brushstroke. Don't worry about coloring in the full image, a quick swipe gives you a watercolor look.
- Color petals and ladybug with the Flirty Flamingo bullet point tip
- Colors leaves by scribbling Mossy Meadow brush tip onto a clear block. Pick up color with a Blender Pen and use a quick brushstroke
- Color center of flowers with Pecan Pie brush tip and then use Crumb Cake bullet point to add color to only the "dotted" areas.

The use of Stampin' Write Markers allows for vibrant, precise coloring, giving the flowers a hand-painted, artistic feel, don't you think?

Days of Love #7: Marbled Elegance Suite Floating Heart

January 22, 2025

Welcome to the last of my DOstamping Days of Love Day #7

Today I'm sharing a Floating Heart Card featuring the Online Exclusive Marbled Elegance Suite Collection.

With an assist from our Window Sheets, the heart-shaped focal point appears to "float" off the background, adding depth and dimension.

Create the heart with strips of the Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper. Be sure to check out side B to mix stripes, mini hearts and specked textures with the marbled patterns in tones of reds, pinks and gold. They add the They add the perfect blend of visual interest and dimension.

How'd She DO That? Floating Heart card

Stamps/Bundles: Hearts of Elegance Bundle– includes dies (online exclusive)
Paper:
- Real Red (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base score/fold at 4-1/4")
- Basic White (4" x 5-1/4", 3/8" x 1-1/2" for sentiment, scrap for flowers)
- Window Sheets (4" square)
- Gold Foil Sheets (scrap for leaf die)
- Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper (7) strips in a variety of patterns - 4" long by 1/4" & 3/8" widths)
Ink: Melon Mambo
Other: Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine, Paper Snips, Take Your Pick Tool, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots, Foam Adhesive Strips

DOstamping Tips:

For Floating Heart:
- Place 3rd largest Hearts of Elegance die (3-1/4" wide) onto a piece of 5" square scratch paper (or larger) and trace the outside of the die.
- Then center 4" square Window Sheet over scratch paper heart tracing. To keep in place, use sticky notes to secure two corners.
- Adhere strips of Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper to Window Sheet to cover the outline of the heart, leaving a narrow space between each strip.
- Once satisfied with the layout of your strips, die cut window sheet/DSP with the heart die cut.
For flowers & leaves:
- Stamp flower on white scrap with Melon Mambo ink, stamp again without reinking and die cut.
- Make Gold Foil leaf die cut look more realistic by using the small stylus of the Take Your Pick tool to create "leaf lines".
- Adhere flowers and gold leaf together with Mini Glue Dots.

Adhering to card:
- To back of heart die cut, add Foam Adhesive Strips to the areas that are covered with DSP strips.
- Adhere flowers/leaf to front left edge of heart with Mini Glue Dots. Then add a Foam Adhesive strip to back of flowers/leaf.
- Remove backings and attach to white panel

My heart was giddy when I finished this card. It turned out even better than what I envisioned. Your sweet Valentine's heart will be giddy too when you gift them this Floating Heart Card. I hope you enjoyed my DOstamping Days of Love projects!
