Create Your Own Background with Pick of the Patch!

For today's project, I'm sharing my last Pick of the Patch creation. 

This Thanksgiving card also features the Stamping Off Technique, which is perfect for creating your own stamped backgrounds.  I guess the Pick of the Patch stamp set is a good one for this technique.  Great for beginner and experienced stampers alike!  See my tips below.

How'd She DO That? Pick of the Patch Thanksgiving card

  • Stamps: Pick of the Patch
  • Paper:
    • Petal Pink (11" x 4-1/4" card base, 5/8" x 3-1/4" for sentiment)
    • Basic White (3-7/8" x 5-1/8") 
    • Crumb Cake (4" x 5-1/4") 
  • Ink:  Gray Granite, Pumpkin Pie, Petal Pink, Pecan Pie, Crumb Cake
  • Other:   Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Copper & Natural Ribbon Combo Pack, Adhesive-Backed Speckled Dots, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

DOstamping Create Your Own Background Tips:

  • I always start by choosing 3-5 coordinating ink colors.
  • On a piece of scrap paper, I typically play around with those colors and the stamp set I've chosen, trying out different combinations.
  • Once I'm satisfied with my color & image choices,  I start stamping.  ALWAYS start with the largest image and use the Stamping Off technique to get a variety of color shades. 
    1. Gourd = Gray Granite
    2. Pumpkin = Pumpkin Pie
    3. Small Pumpkin = Petal Pink
    4. Stems/Vines = Pecan Pie (use a sticky note as a "mask" near the top of each pumpkin to get smaller stems)
    5. Dots = Crumb Cake (I love that the Pick of the Patch stamp set came with what I call a "filler" image - perfect for filling some of the "white" spaces)
  • To finish off the card, I used the Copper & Natural Ribbon (available week of October 23).  To substitute, you could use cardstock.  1" x 4" piece of Crumb Cake and  1/4" x 3-1/2" piece of Pumpkin pie.

Pick of the Patch Bundle: Fun Message Delivery Crow

Ha - that title got you, right?  You're thinking, is there a delivery crow in the Pick of the Patch stamp set?  Take a look...

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween p

How cute is that crow delivering the Happy Halloween message?  I had so much fun creating this card using the Pick of the Patch Bundle.  See all of the details below.

How'd She DO That? Happy Halloween Crow card

  • Stamps/Bundles:  Pick of the Patch Bundle (includes punch)
  • Paper:
    • Crumb Cake (11" x 4-1/4" card base, 3/4" x 1-1/2" for sign)
    • Basic White (3-7/8" x 5-1/8", scraps for pumpkin)
    • Pumpkin Pie (4" x 5-1/4", scrap for pumpkin) 
    • Pecan Pie (scraps for stems)
  • Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Crumb Cake, Pecan Pie, Pumpkin Pie
  • Other:  Take Your Pick, Stampin' Pierce Mat, Stampin' Seal, Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

 

Stampin’ Up! Pick of the Patch Bundle card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup #cardmaking #halloween c2

DOstamping Tips:

  • Start by stamping the leaves along the bottom of the white panel with Crumb Cake ink with the Pick Of The Patch stamp set.
  • To stamp the "extended branch": with Pecan Pie ink, stamp the full branch first, the turn the stamp 180 degrees and stamp so the ends meet.  Clever, right?
  • I recommend making the sign before stamping the crow, so you know where to position the crow image.  Use the Take Your Pick  tool and
  • Stampin' Pierce Mat to make holes in the sign.  Thread linen thread through the holes and tie off into a over hand knot.  Adhere to card with Stampin' Dimensionals and glue dot for knot.
  • For pumpkins: on white scrap, stamp two smaller pumpkins using Pumpkin Pie ink and Stamping Off technique.  Cut out with
  • Pick Of The Patch Builder Punch, also cut a Pumpkin kit large pumpkin and three Pecan Pie stems.
  • Arrange pumpkins before stamping "vine" images with Pecan Pie ink and Stamping Off technique.  Then adhere to card.
  • Substitute for the Speckled Dots: Use Stampin' Blends to color the white Classic Matte Dots

If you enjoy fall and/or Halloween, then you'll want to add the Pick of the Patch Bundle (with punch) to your stamping collection.  Add it to your shopping cart today!

Before I end, I have a couple of NOTES for you:

  • All About Autumn Designer Series Paper: This was available at the time of my blog post yesterday.  But it ran out fast.  It's expected to be back in the week of October 23.  I've update the unorderable list (scroll down below my DOstamping Supplies)
  • Update on my blog emails:  The final problem for this has been narrowed down to issues between Gmail, my blogging platform and RSS feed service.  They have been working on it.  I received an email late last night to let them know if Gmail users are still have issues seeing photos.  If you could let me know, I would appreciate it.  Thank you for your help!

Darling Details Day #7: Two Christmas Cards; Simple, Stepped Up!

Welcome to Day #7 of my Creative Connections presentation of the Darling Details Bundle. 

 I took a short break from blogging while I was at a crafting retreat this past weekend.  Lots of fun, food, fellowship and crafting was had!  I made 16 projects - woohoo!  Most with products from the upcoming September - December Mini Catalog (coming September 6th).  Which I'll be sharing later.

In the meantime, today I'm sharing two Christmas Cards.  One is a clean and simple card, the other a stepped-up version.  

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Christmasm cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections #christmascards g2b

The Clean & Simple card is pretty straight forward.  See how...

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Christmasm cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections #christmascards p1

DOstamping Tips:

  • On 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla panel, stamp sentiment first.
  • Then stamp flower & leaves/greenery images as shown.
  • With Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker, color in berries in the sentiment image and add dots for more berries.
  • This card could easily be mass-produced for your holiday cards!

 

The Stepped-Up card has a few more steps, but a wonderful result!  See how:

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Christmasm cards by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections #christmascards p2

DOstamping Tips:

  • Place the large frame die in the center of the 4" x 5-1/4" Very Vanilla panel and die cut using the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine.  NOTE:  if some of the little "dots" from the die cut need a little help releasing, use the Take Your Pick tool and Stampin' Pierce Mat to remove the rest them.
  • On center cut-out piece, stamp the sentiment where shown.  Use Wink of Stella Glitter Brush to move color around a little on the leaves and pine bough images. 
  • Place the stamped center piece back into the large frame die cut.  Stamp flower & leaves/greenery images as shown, stamping onto both pieces at the same time.  Separate the two pieces.
  • Adhere stamped frame piece to folded card base.  Then adhere stamped center piece to card with Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • With Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker, color in berries in the sentiment image and add dots for more berries.
  • Tie a bow into the gold trim.  Adhere with a glue dot.

Darling Details Day #5: Gotta Love the Ribbon Border Die!

Welcome to Day #5 of my Creative Connections presentation of  Darling Details Bundle.  Today I'm sharing a card that features the super cute "ribbon border" die.

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Ribbon Border Die card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections p

Of the many reasons I was drawn to the Darling Details Bundle,  was the "ribbon border" die.  It really caught my eye.  I thought it was charming and cute.  Let me tell you...it did not disappoint.  I love it!

How'd She DO That? Ribbon Border Birthday card

  • Stamps/Bundle: Darling Details Bundle (includes dies)
  • Paper:
    • Parakeet Party (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base)
    • Basic White (2-3/4" x 5-1/2, scrap for punch)
    • Basic Black (two of 1" x 5-1/2" - one for die cutting ribbon border - see tips below)
  • Ink:  Tuxedo Black Memento, Poppy Parade, Parakeet Party, Highland Heather, Daffodil Delight 
  • Other:  Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Take Your Pick, Double Oval Punch, 1/8" Parakeet Party Metallic Woven Ribbon , Classic Matte Dots. Stampin' Seal, Stampin' Dimensionals, Mini Glue Dots

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Ribbon Border Die card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections c

How cute is this ribbon border die cut?  See below for tips on using it.

 

DOstamping Tip - alter Darling Details Dies Ribbon Border from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup

DOstamping Tips for Ribbon Border Die:

  • I recommend using a 1" x 6" strip of cardstock when die cutting the ribbon border die shape.  The die is actually thinner than 1", but you'll enjoy the extra area for adhesive.
  • For ribbon selection, it works best with 1/4", but you can also use 1/8" (see my suggestions below)
  • Also - I found the "stiffer" the ribbon, the easier it was to thread through the die cut.  Maybe use a needle to thread the Metallic Woven Ribbon (2022-2024 In Colors) - that would help.
  • For pattern ribbon, I found that flipping the die cut over to the back side will show off the pattern better, so give that a try.  (see black/white 1/4" gingham ribbon at the top of the photo)

DOstamping Ribbon Selections:

Ribbon Duo Combo Pack
Includes 1/8" & 1/4"

 

Also - what do you think of this color combo?  

Stampin’ Up! color combo Poppy ParadeHighland Heather Parakeet Party Daffodil Delight by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdSheDOthat #colorcombo #stampinup

I'm totally in love with the color combo I came up with for this card!  The black really sets off these fun and cheery colors.

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Frame Dies card by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections c

How cute is this altered frame? 

 

DOstamping Tip - alter Darling Details Dies frames from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup

I discovered this altered frame trick when playing around with the Darling Details Dies frames.  

DOstamping Tips:

  • To die cut an "altered frame":  place both large and small frames onto a 4" x 5-1/4" panel
  • Run everything through the Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine all at the same time.
  • Something to note, both frame dies ONLY cut the decorative details and the INSIDE of the frame.
  • So when die cut both at the same time, you get three pieces, shown below. 
  • I used the "skinny" altered frame on this card...I love the way it turned out.

I have to pat myself on the back for this idea.  It think it's brilliant.  What do you think?

Stop back tomorrow for tips for the Ribbon Border Die shape.

Darling Details Day #3: One Sheet Wonder Color Buddies

Welcome to Day #3 of my Creative Connections presentation of  Darling Details Bundle.  Today I'm sharing a One Sheet Wonder project and Color Buddies.

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details One Sheet Wonder by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup35years #creativeconnections

What is a One Sheet Wonder (OSW)?

  • Good question.  For this project, it's an 8-1/2" x 11" piece of Basic White cardstock, randomly stamped over the entire piece.   Then cut into multiple pieces to create multiple cards.
  • One of the first things you'll need to decide when you're stamping a One Sheet Wonder is...what colors you'll want to use. As the Darling Details stamp set is a 2-step stamp set, knowing what colors go together is a good first start.   See below for the "Color Buddies" I used.  
  • For stamping, always start with your largest image and work down towards the smallest images.  
  • Stamping off is a good technique to enlist for OSW.  For mine, I stamped these the large solid flower (Bubble Bath) and tiny flower (Gorgeous Grape) both in full strength and stamped-off to get a variety of color tones.  (It's hard to see the stamped off Bubble Bath large flowers, but they are there to help fill in even more white space).
  • Note:  if after stamping the entire sheet, you find you have too much white space...continue to add images until you're satisfied.  This can also be done after cutting your OSW.
  • For my project - I cut the sheet in in half at 4-1/4", then cut everything into 2" strips.  Got enough for 10 cards!  Perfect for mass-producing cards for the holidays.

Stamping with the STARS #415 Christmas in July: Darling Details

The DOstamperSTARS are excited to bring you another Stamping with the STARS Inspiration Hop #DOswts415.  This week we're happy to share Christmas In July with you.

415
When I saw today's theme, I knew I'd have to get creative with pattern paper.  So after looking over the choices, I settled on the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper.  I know...you don't think of Christmas when you look at it.  But, there is a check pattern that I thought I could alter to work for Christmas.  I LOVE the way it turned out. 

 

Stampin’ Up! Darling Details Bundle Christmas card by Dawn Olchefske Stamping with the STARS challenge #DOswts415 #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #christmascards p

I also selected a Bundle that doesn't scream Christmas either.  But when I got my first look at the new Darling Details Bundle, in my mind I saw pine needles (though, they may be leaf veins, but I'm going with a pine bough) - which made me thing of Christmas.  See details and tips below...

 

How'd She DO That? Darling Details Christmas Card card

  • Stamps:  Darling Details Bundle (includes dies), Very Best Occasions.
  • Paper:
    • Cherry Cobbler (8-1/2" x 5-1/2" card base score & fold at 4-1/4”)
    • Very Vanilla (4" x 5-1/4", scraps for stamping/die cutting flowers/leaves)
    • Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper (1-1/2" x 5-1/4")
  • Ink: Cherry Cobbler, Mossy Meadow
  • Stampin' Write Markers: Cherry Cobbler (Regals), Mossy Meadow (Neutrals)
  • Other:  Clear Wink of Stella Glitter Brush Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine, Simply Elegant Trim, Festive PearlsStampin' Seal, Mini Glue Dots & Stampin' Dimensionals

 

DOstamping Tip - alter pattern paper using Stampin’ Write Markers from Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #HowdSheDOthat #stampinup

DOstamping Tips:

  • On Very Vanilla panel,
    • stamp sentiment first.  Let dry. 
    • add Wink of Stella Glitter to leaves and pine bough. 
    • Use Cherry Cobbler Stampin' Write Marker (fine point end) to add color to berries and "draw" three berries below pine bough.
  • To alter the Let's Go Fishing Designer Series Paper:
    • use a ruler and marker to draw lines to create a plaid look.
    • be sure to clean your ruler between colors.
    • adhere altered paper to stamped panel.
  • On Very Vanilla scrap(s):
    • with Cherry Cobbler ink, stamp two flower outlines & solid images (stamp-off for one solid image).
    • with Mossy Meadow ink, stamp two pine boughs & solid leaf images (stamp-off solid image for both), and two sprigs
    • die cut all images.
    • use Cherry Cobbler marker to draw berries onto the ends of the sprigs.
    • arrange and adhere die cuts to card using Mini Glue Dots and Stampin' Dimensionals.
  • Tie a bow into gold trim and adhere with a Mini Glue Dot.
  • Attach gold pearls where desired.

Didn't this turn out great?!  I'm quite pleased with the result.  I may have to make a few of these for the special people in my life.

 

I will be demonstrating the Darling Details Bundle at the Stamp Share For Leaders Creative Connection Event tomorrow.  We were selected for one of Stampin' Up!'s 35 in 35 events celebrating their 35th Anniversary.  We're fortunate to have Sara Douglas (CEO) and Logan Sutherland (VP People & Culture) attend.  I have 12 team members attending, plus more watching it virtually.  It should be lots of fun!

 

Be sure to watch my blog in the coming days, as I'll be sharing all of the lovely projects I created for this event.   Be sure to add the Darling Details Bundle to your shopping cart today.  Cuz, you're gonna fall in love with this bundle!

Thank you for choosing to shop with me!
