DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #305: Snow is Glistening - Sponge Dauber Trick

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

For todays, my eye focused in on the cute embellishment in the lower left corner, so that's what I'm casing!

Talk about a card that is simple, but wow...this one fits the bill. With it's easy Sponge Dauber Trick (see below tips) - you'll get stunning results in no time at all

My Stamping Club Members couldn't get enough of it. I heard surprised oohs, aahs and wows throughout the night. Made me smile. It's always fun to learn a new stamping technique. But even more fun when it's so easy that you can go home and do it yourself!

How'd She DO That? Sponge Dauber Tree card:

Stamps: Snow is Glistening (avail until 11/30)
Paper:
- Real Red (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base, scrap for 1-3/8" scallop circle punch)
- Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4", scrap for 1-1/4" circle punch)
Ink: Real Red, Tuxedo Black Memento
Other: 1-1/4" Circle Punch, 1-3/8" Scallop Circle Punch, Real Red 3/8" Mixed Satin ribbon, Snowflake Trinkets (avail until 11/30), Sponge Dauber, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals
Tip: see below

Tips for creating multi-colored tree with a Sponge Dauber:

Ink of tree image with Real Red ink
Before stamping, add black ink with Sponge Dauber to the larger snowflakes
Breath on stamp to remoisten
Stamp on 4" x 5-1/4" Whisper White Panel
Then - ooh and aah!

So, if you're like me and still need to do some last-minute Christmas cards, I do recommend this one!

Happiness Surrounds: Snowflake Showcase Ends 11/30

It's hard to believe that there is only 2 days left of November. What happened to 2018? It seems to have flown by so fast this year.

Today's card using the Happiness Surrounds stamp set from the Snowflake Showcase special that ends Friday. This stamp set is named correctly, as every card I make with it, makes me happy!

This card was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest made by fellow Demonstrator, Leonie Schroder. Her card used different colors, but I've been in a purple mood lately, thus - purples! We made this card at my Stampin' Club Class night and it was a BIG hit!

How'd She DO That? tips for Happiness Surrounds card:

Stamps: Happiness Surrounds
Paper:
- Whisper White Thick (4-1/4" x 8-1/2" card base)
- Highland Heather (4" x 4")
- Whisper White (3/4" x 3-1/2", and scraps for flower dies)
- Lemon Lime Twist (scraps for leaves dies)
Ink: Highland Heather, Gorgeous Grape

DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge #302: Fall Winter Woods

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

Feels like fall!

At least that's what I saw when working on this week's DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge.

My husband had a birthday last week and this was the card I made for him. It wasn't exactly what I had in my head when I first started, but I think it turned out nicely. And more importantly, he really liked it. That's why we make cards, right?

How'd She DO That? tips for Fall Winter Woods card:

Stamps: Winter Woods, Beautiful Day
Paper:
- Whisper White Thick (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4")
- Early Espresso (2-3/8" x 4-1/4" for curved edgelit)
Ink: Early Espresso, Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody, Pumpkin Pie
Other: Big Shot, Into the Woods, Crumb Cake 3/8" Classic Weave Ribbon, Leaves Trinkets, Stamping Sponges, Glue Dots &SNAIL
Tips: see below for Sponging Technique Tips

Dawn's Sponging Technique Tips:

To get the ombre look, use Stamping Sponges
Sponge on ink using a circular motion
Start with the lightest color, working from the bottom to the top with the darkest color.
I used Daffodil Delight, Mango Melody and just a touch of Pumpkin Pie.
I actually make a panel with Crajun Craze at the top, but it was too dark for my liking.

Even though the name of this stamp set/bundle is called Winter Woods, it makes fabulous fall card too - don't you think?! Add it to your shopping bag today - see shopping links below.

Rooted in Nature: Stunning Embossed Resist Leaves! (& last day of FLASH1018 sale)

You're in for a treat today. I have a stunning Rooted in Nature Embossed Resist technique card for you today. If you need a special card for a special friend, this is the card to make. See below for detailed instructions.

Emboss Resist Technique is an oldie but goodie stamping technique. Here's how...

Wipe Embossing Buddy all over a panel of Whisper White cardstock.
Stamp images onto cardstock with Versamark ink.
Cover with your choice of Stampin' Emboss Powder, remove excess powder.
Use Heat Tool to melt powder, let cool.
Sponge ink over the entire panel. (either Stampin' Sponge or Sponge Dauber will work)
Use a paper towel to remove any ink from the embossed images.
The areas where there is embossing - it will resist the ink and the images will "pop"!

The "skeleton leaves" from the Rooted in Nature stamp set are a perfect choice for the Emboss Resist Technique.

How'd She DO That? tips for Embossed Resist Rooted In Nature card:

Stamps: Rooted in Nature
Paper:
- Blackberry Bliss (4-1/4" x 11" card base, & scrap for oval)
- Copper Foil Sheets (4" x 5-1/4" & scrap for oval)
- Whisper White (3-3/4" x 5")
Ink: Versamark, Blackberry Bliss
Other: Big Shot, Stitched Shapes Framelits Dies (smallest oval), Layering Ovals Framelits Dies (smallest scallop) , Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Copper Stampin' Emboss Powder, 1/4" Copper Trim, Sponge Dauber, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

My camera had a hard time capturing the complete beauty of this card - due to the shine of the Copper Embossing and Foil sheets. Trust me - in real life, this card will make your recipient gasp as they take it out of the envelope! What a way to say "Thank You".

If you haven't purchased the Rooted in Nature stamp set (or bundle with framelits dies - saves 10%)...what are you waiting for? At the very least, you'll want to add it to your wish list, and maybe someone can get it for you for your birthday or upcoming holidays.

If you're ready to get it now...add it to your shopping bag today! (see shopping links below)

Nature's-Poem

This card features some fun texture, as well as the masking technique, which I describe below.

How'd She DO That? tips for Rooted in Nature card:

Stamps: Rooted In Nature (146479w or 146482c)
Paper:
- Whisper White Thick (5-1/2” x 8-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4", 1-1/4" x 3-1/4" greeting, scrap for leaf)
- Nature's Poem Designer Series Paper (4” x 1")
Ink: Crumb Cake, Mint Macaron, Soft Suede
Other: Big Shot, Nature's Roots Framelits Dies, Nature's Twine, Copper Metallic Thread, Leaves Trinkets, SNAIL, Glue Dots, Stampin' Dimensionals, sticky note
Masking Technique:
1. On white 5" x 5-1/4" panel, stamp “wood” image with Crumb Cake ink.
2. Stamp again on a sticky note (near top where the “sticky” area would be). Create a mask by cutting image from sticky note.
3. Place "mask" over the first stamped image (pulling it down just a smidgen).
4. Stamp leaf images over mask and partially on white panel. Stamp again without reinking.
5. Remove sticky note to reveal leaves peeking out under the wood image.

Tips to complete card:

Lay down some SNAIL adhesive over wood image (center, right edge). Wrap metallic thread around three fingers (3-4 times), pull off and press onto the adhesive.
Adhere DSP strip over thread. Lay down some SNAIL on top half of DSP. Pull 3 threads from 10-11” of twine, wrap around fingers, pull off and press onto the adhesive.
Adhere leaf die cut with glue dots. Adhere greeting with Stampin’ Dimensionals
Adhere completed panel to folded Whisper White card base. Then use a Glue Dot to adhere copper leaf trinket.

The Rooted in Nature Bundle creates more than meets the eye. Great for techniques, like masking and more. Fabulous for any card maker! Add it to your shopping bag today (see shopping links below)!

And....BONUS!! I have a few more Nature's Poem Suite projects to share with you. Be sure to stop by this week for more inspiration!

Broadway Bound Suite Week Day #5: Make a Wish (Omitting Technique)

Welcome to Day #5 of my Broadway Bound Suite Week!

We're ending this week with a card that showcases the fabulous marquee sign, from the Broadway Lights Framelits Dies.
In addition, I'm using an oldie but goodie stamping trick called.omitting (more on that below).

How'd She DO That? tips Make a Wish Marquee card:

Stamps: Broadway Birthday (or bundle with Broadway Lights Framelits to save 10%)
Paper:
- Gray Granite (5-1/2" x 8-1/2" card base, scrap for die cutting)
- Whisper White (scrap for die cutting)
- Basic Black (scrap)
- Broadway Bound Specialty Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4")
Ink: Versa Mark, Tuxedo Black Memento, Lemon Lime Twist, Lovely Lipstick
Heat Emboss: Stamp "wish" on white "sign" die cut with black ink, let dry. Then stamp "wish dots" with Versamark ink over it. Cover with Black Stampin' Emboss Powder. Remove excess and melt with Heat Tool.
Other: Big Shot, Broadway Lights Framelits, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, Black Stampin' Emboss Powder, Lemon Lime Twist 1/4" Ombre Ribbon, Black Mini Sequin Trim, Mini Stampin' Dimensionals

I'm lovin' the way the marquee sign turned out! See my tips below:

Using the Omitting Technique!
- The line under the "make a" image and the "I" in "WISH" image was omitted by covering them up with tape (narrow Washi Tape works great).
- Then ink up stamp
- Before stamping, remove tape (don't forget this step!)
To mat the marquee shape so color will show through the "holes:
- trace die shape onto scrap of black, then hand cut.
- Use glue dots to adhere to marquee sign.

Well, that's it for Broadway Bound Suite Week! I hope you enjoyed the projects and learned a couple of tips/tricks along the way. Which project was your favorite this week?

Control Freaks May 2018: Rooted in Nature & Hand Delivered

Welcome to the Control Freaks May 2018. We are thrilled to have you join us on the 20th of each month. Our tour features some of your favorite Control Freaks Stampers sharing projects made with Stampin' Up! products. In fact, you may have just come from fellow freak, Cindy Elam's blog.

Our theme for this month is: New Stampin' Up! 2018-2019 Catalog Sneak Peek

Rooted in Nature

I've had this "masked sunset" style of card on my radar for a long time. When I saw the new Rooted in Nature stamp set, I immediately knew it would be perfect for the technique. I'm thrilled with the way it turned out.

Rooted In Nature Masked Sunset card:

On a 4" x 5-1/4" panel of Whisper White cardstock, mask off each side (left side 1/2", right side 1-3/4").
In the non-masked area, start sponging color from the bottom with the new colors; Grapefruit Grove, Highland Heather & Blackberry Bliss.
Stamp tree & greeting images with Tuxedo Black Memento Ink.
Wrap Nature's Twine (Blackberry Bliss) around panel and tie in a bow. Add two Basic Rhinestone Jewels.
Adhere to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Thick Whisper White card base with Stampin' Dimensionals.
See full supply list below

Hand Delivered Host Set

The Hand Delivered stamp set is one of six new host stamp sets coming in the new 2018/19 Annual Catalog (coming June 1st). This super cute set has interchangeable images for birthday, graduation, wedding and more!

Hand Delivered Birthday Card:

Using Tuxedo Black Memento ink:
1. stamp several balloon images along the edges of a 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" panel of Whisper White.
2. stamp skirt, floral (overlay image) and sign with black on 5-1/5" x 2" panel of Whisper White. Stamp greeting with Rich Razzleberry ink,
3. color both panels with Stampin' Blends (Light & Dark Pink Pirouette, Light Pumpkin Pie and Light Rich Razzleberry).
Adhere large panel to folded 11" x 4-1/4" Rich Razzleberry card base.
Use Tear & Tape to adhere retiring Rich Razzleberry 1/4" Stitched Edge Ribbon to both sides of the smaller white panel. Adhere to card front with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Use Stampin' Blends to color Basic Pearl Jewels and attach to card.
See supply list below.

I'm in love with the Sweet Soiree Suite and I think you will be too come January 3rd (first day of the 2018 Occasions Catalog)!

Enjoy~Dawn O

Today's card features a couple of new products from the 2018 Occasions Catalog...Hold on to Hope Bundle and Brusho Crystal Colours.

I have to admit...I'm watercolor challenged. But with these watercolor ink crystals, all you have to do is sprinkle them directly on water-washed paper and watch the colors burst! I can DO that and you can too! Be sure to watch the How'd She DO That? video below to see how.
