Stamping with the STARS #357: Color Blocking Inspiration

February 27, 2021

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts357. This week we're sharing a Color Blocking Inspiration.

During our Monthly STARS Zoom Meeting last month, my team member and friend, Jan Carlson shared a Color Blocking Technique with everyone. It looks really fun, so we decided to make it our theme inspiration for this month.

I'm lovin' the bright colors I chose to go with this fun birthday stamp set, Hooray To You. I just pops off the card with a black card base.

How'd She DO That? Hooray To You card

Stamps: Hooray To You
Paper:
- Basic Black (4-1/4" x 11" card base)
- Whisper White (3-5/8" x 4-7/8")
- Highland Heather, Mango Melody, Daffodil Delight & Magenta Madness (3-1/2" x 4-3/4")
- Basic White (scrap for punch)
Ink: Tuxedo Black Memento
Other: Stamparatus, Paper Trimmer, Classic Label Punch, Snail Mail Twine Combo, Black Matte Dots, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

Using the Stamparatus, stamp images on all 4 panels of colored cardstock with black ink. (I did need to stamp each one 2 times to get a nice clean stamped image)
Use the Paper Trimmer to cut each panel as follows:
- 1-1/4" off the top,
- turn and cut off right edge at 1-1/2" ,
- then turn and cut off 1" of the "birthday".
- NOTE: I cut two panels at a time. If you can - cutting all 4 panels at a time is optimal.
Sort pieces into 4 piles of 1 color/shape per pile. You'll get 4 cards - yay!
Assemble on white panel, like a puzzle.

Gilded Autumn Suite Week Day 5: Herringbone Technique (Stamp Sale Coming Soon)

September 21, 2020

Stampin' Up! just announced a 24-hour Stamp Sale coming Wednesday, September 23!

Be sure to print the 24-Hour Stamp Set PDF (with list of select stamps on sale), so you're ready to order your favorites on Wednesday!

Today is Day 5 of Gilded Autumn Suite Week. Here's a special card that features the Herringbone Technique using the Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper.

How'd She DO That? Hey There cards:

Stamps/Bundles: Beautiful Autumn Bundle (Save 10%)
Paper:
- Mint Macaron (4-1/4" x 11" card base)
- Very Vanilla (4" x 5-1/4", 3-7/8" x 5-1/8, scrap for label die)
- Brushed Metallic (scraps for maple & oak leaf punches)
- Gilded Autumn Specialty Designer Series Paper (four or more patterns - strips of 1/4" to 5/8" wide)
Ink: Early Espresso, Cajun Craze
Other: Tasteful Labels Dies, Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Autumn Punch Pack, Acorn Trinkets, Linen Thread, Basket Weave & Metallic Ribbon Combo Pack, Stampin' Seal+, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

Herringbone is a pattern made up of rows of parallel lines which in any two adjacent rows slope in opposite directions. Mine wasn't done is the traditional way. But it turned out fun!

DOstamping Tips:

Cover the 3-7/8" x 5-1/8" panel with Stampin' Seal + (or use Adhesive Sheets #152334)
Cut a variety of patterns in widths varying from 1/4" to 5/8".
Start by laying 1-3 strips down in a diagonal direction (as shown above). The strips will hang off the sides of the panel. Just trim off to the edge with a scissors.
Continue by laying down strips perpendicular to the first strips and trim to edge of panel. Repeat in various perpendicular directions until the panel is completely covered. Make sure all edges are trimmed off nicely.

All of the embellishments were adhered using Mini Glue Dots.

Add the Gilded Autumn Suite Collection to your crafting collection today.

I have one last Gilded Autumn Suite Week project for you tomorrow...see you then!

Gilded Autumn Suite Week Day 3: Beautiful Abstract Autumn

September 17, 2020

Today is Day 3 of Gilded Autumn Suite Week.

Today's card features the Beautiful Autumn stamp set.

The idea came to me when I cleaning some of the stamps. I noticed how cool just the "solid" images looked stamped multiple times.

It technically uses the Stamping-off Technique. But I'm calling the card Abstract Autumn (because I think it's cool, which then makes me cool - right?)

How'd She DO That? Abstract Autumn card:

Stamps/Bundles: Beautiful Autumn Bundle (Save 10%)
Paper:
- Very Vanilla Thick (4-1/4" x 11" card base)
- Very Vanilla (4" x 5-1/2" and three of 1-1/4" x 5" strips)
- Crumb Cake (scrap for label die cut)
- Early Espresso (1/2" x 4")
Ink: Early Espresso, Soft Suede
Other: Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Tasteful Labels Dies, Banners Pick a Punch, Stampin' Seal & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

Stamping Off Technique for the 1-1/4" x 5" strips:
- oak leaf - ink image with Early Espresso. Stamp once, then rotate image and stamp again without re-inking. Repeat.
- acorn - ink acorn "bottom" with Soft Suede. Stamp once (do not re-ink yet). Ink acorn "cap" with Early Espresso and stamp once (do not re-ink yet). Then stamp bottom and top again (without re-inking). Repeat.
- triple leaf - ink image with Early Espresso. Stamp once and then stamp again without re-inking. Repeat.

I have to admit - I was filled with delight when this card came together. I suggest playing around with some of the other "solid" images to come up with your own abstract patterns.

So...what do you think? Cool, right? Are you convinced you need Gilded Autumn Suite Collection yet?

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for more Gilded Autumn Suite Week

Your Creative Connection #YCC115: Masking Dove of Hope

September 09, 2020

Welcome to another Your Creative Connection tour, #YCC115. Our theme today is: What's Behind the Mask

What's Behind the Mask? For this week's theme we could make a project using any of the following: masking, create your own mask or Stampin' Up! Decorative Masks. I chose the masking technique. The Dove of Hope is a great stamp set to feature this technique.

How'd She DO That? Dove of Hope card:

Stamps: Dove of Hope
Paper:
- Pretty Peacock (11" x 4-1/4" card base)
- Very Vanilla (2-1/2" x 3-3/4")
- Copper Foil Sheet (3-1/4" x 4-1/2")
- Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper (3-3/4" x 4-1/4")
Ink: Pretty Peacock
Other: Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush, 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon, Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels, Stampin' Seal & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Masking Tips:

On Very Vanilla piece, stamp sentiment at bottom. Stamp dove image leaving space for the branch and area for ribbon.
Create a "mask" for dove by stamping dove on scratch paper and fussy cut out.
Place mask over stamped dove.
Stamp branch image over dove mask.
Remove mask.
Finish off by using Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move color around on the leaves.

Take a closer look:

I was looking for a Designer Series Paper to coordinate with the Dove of Hope stamp set.
I was giddy when I recalled that the Brightly Gleaming Specialty Designer Series Paper carried over from last year- yay!
It's the perfect match - don't you think?

Bring peace and joy to your Christmas crafting using the Dove of Hope Stamp Set or Bundle & Save 10% with the Detailed Dove Dies.

A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop: Summer Nights

August 06, 2020

Welcome to A Paper Pumpkin Thing Blog Hop!

I'm excited to join this talented group of stampers to share alternate ideas for Paper Pumpkin Kits. Today we're sharing the July 2020 Paper Pumpkin Kit - Summer Nights

July Paper Pumpkin - Summer Nights

Kit contains enough supplies to create nine postcards and coordinating envelopes, as well as nine die-cut tealight bags.
Card size: 4” x 5-1/4”
Coordinating Colors: Blackberry Bliss, Calypso Coral, Coastal Cabana, Night of Navy

I adore the colors of this kit. Reminds me of summer evenings (duh, of course), but also early fall.

Here's a FOUR alternative ideas using the Summer Nights Paper Pumpkin kit and Summer Nights Add-On card pack.

How'd She DO That? Rock & Roll Summer Nights Card

On front of folded Pool Party card base (4-1/4" x 11), stamp fireworks image using "rock & roll" stamping technique
- Ink up stamp with Coastal Cabana ink, then roll only the edges onto Night of Navy ink pad. Stamp, clean and repeat as desired.
For sentiment - ink up stamp with Coastal Cabana ink, then add Night of Navy ink to top and bottom of image. Stamp on label die cut (from kit) and adhere with dimensionals.
Add NEW Iridescent Pearls in the center of the fireworks.

How'd She DO That? Summer Nights Add-On Card (features envelope)

If you're a reader of mine, you'll know that I love to use patterned lined envelopes to decorate my cards.
The Summer Nights Add-On (154973) includes just such envelopes (along with 24 fabulously colored card bases)...super cute!
Trim out a 4" x 5-1/4" piece from the inside of the envelope.
The banner is made with the NEW Banners Pick a Punch (I'm in love!). Start with 1/2" x 4" piece of Night of Navy, cut both ends with punch.
The sentiment is stamped with Night of Navy ink.
Decorate card with die cuts from the kit.

These cards couldn't be easier to make. Plus the results are stunning!

How'd She DO That? Summer Nights QC Cards

First off - I totally CASED the layout of a card shown on page 126 from the 2020 Stampin' Up! Annual Catalog.
Second off - the floral images are stamped directly onto the card with Blackberry Bliss ink (from the kit). Then use Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move ink around and add glitter (in person - these cards shine!)

Stamps: Tasteful Touches
Paper: Crumb Cake card base, post card from kit, Mint Macaron for sentiment
Other: Story Label Punch, Braided Linen Thread, NEW Iridescent Pearls

Stamps: Fancy Phrases
Paper: Blackberry Bliss card base, Crumb Cake, cut card front off card from Summer Nights Add-On pack, Calypso Coral for sentiment
Other: Story Label Punch, Braided Linen Thread, NEW Iridescent Pearls

154973 Summer Nights Add-On

Contains 24 preprinted card bases and coordinating envelopes.
Card size: 4-1/4" x 5-1/2"
Must be a Paper Pumpkin Subscriber

Nothing's Better Than meets Happiest of Birthdays! (and Video)

July 13, 2020

I'm excited about sharing today's card, as it was a card both my grandson, Max and I made together. He picked out the bundle, Nothing's Better Than, and then we started playing!

As he turned 13 this spring (yes, he's now a teenager - wow!) - I was actually surprised (but delighted) he still wanted to craft with me. And, since he is only 13, we called it a pink lemonade card.

He also wanted to make sure I tell you all that he helped design the card. Even at 13 - he melts my heart (in between the moody teen times - ha)! Here's what we came up with...

DOstamping It's Your Day Pink Lemonade card:

Your Creative Connection #YCC111: Forever Greenery Corset Tag Card

July 08, 2020

Welcome to another Your Creative Connection tour, #YCC111. Our theme today is: Tag You're It

For today's showcase, I went waaay back into the "vault" and pulled out a memory of a card style I enjoyed making in 2004!

Back then, it was called a "Corset Card" and I found the inspiration in a magazine (that I don't recall right now). You used two shipping tags to create the corset. Now, with all of Stampin' Up!'s tag punches, there are lots of choices to make a Corset Tag card.

How'd She DO That? Forever Greenery Corset Tag Card

Stamps: Fancy Phrases (Bundle & SAVE 10% with Fancy Tag Topper Punch)
Paper:
- Old Olive (4-1/4" x 11" card base)
- Whisper White (scrap for sentiment tag)
- Pretty Peacock (two of 2" x 5-1/2" for "corset tags")
- Forever Greenery Designer Series Paper (4" x 5-1/4")
Ink: Pretty Peacock
Other: Greenery Embossing Folders, Delightful Tag Topper Punch, Label Me Fancy Punch, 3/8" Old Olive/Pretty Peacock Reversible Ribbon, Forever Greenery Trim Combo Pack, Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Tips:

Cut one end of each of the two of 2" x 5-1/2" Pretty Peacock strips with the Delightful Tag Topper Punch
Add texture to both tags with the Greenery Embossing Folder (preserve the hole/tag ends).
Layout tags over your card with tag ends facing each other. Thread ribbon through both holes and tie in a bow.
Wrap tag ends around to the back side and adhere to together. (NOTE: corset should be snug, but loose enough to slide off).

I definitely recommend adding the Forever Greenery Suite to your collection - you'll use it all year long!

Thanks for stopping by. Be sure to check out more creativity at our next stop on Your Creative Connection tour, Barbara Meyer.

More Masked Celebrate Sunflowers

June 30, 2020

Here's another Celebrate Sunflowers masking technique card. This time using Stampin' Blends to color the beautiful sunflowers!

How'd She DO That? Sunflower Celebrate Masking card

Stamps/Bundles: Celebrate Sunflowers (or Bundle & SAVE 10% includes Sunflower Dies)
Paper:
- Whisper White Thick (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
- Whisper White (4" x 5-1/4")
- Bumblebee (1" x 3-1/2" for sentiment – cut both ends with Lovely Labels Pick a Punch)
Ink: Early Espresso
Stampin' Blends: Daffodil Delight, Soft Suede & Old Olive
Other: Lovely Labels Pick a Punch, Gilded Gems, Stampin' Seal & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Masking Instructions:

On the Whisper White panel, stamp smaller sunflower image near the right edge/center. (shown as the 3rd flower from the bottom).
Create masks: on sticky notes, stamp flower and leaf images, then fussy cut each one out separately.
Use sticky note flower mask to cover stamped flower (pull slightly away from image), then stamp leaf as shown. Repeat for stamping flower/leaves above & below the first image. Then again for top & bottom images
Color with Stampin’ Blends.

This Celebrate Sunflowers card made me feel like an artist. With the right tools & technique, you can feel that way too. Give masking a try, then color your images with Stampin' Blends!

This stamp set also comes in a bundle...Celebrate Sunflowers Bundle. Add it to your shopping bag today.
