Watercoloring

Watercolor Pencils with Hello Harvest Bundle

If you enjoy coloring, then you're gonna love today's card featuring the new Hello Harvest Bundle!

The Hello Harvest Bundle includes the Hello Harvest Stamp Set and the Rustic Pumpkin Dies.

  • You'll love the versatility of this autumnal bundle.
  • Create handmade cards and gift tags for fall, then use many of the stamp sentiments for year-round greetings.
  • Just stamp an image, then use the coordinating die to quickly and easily create your own die-cut elements. 

Or keep it simple with my Floral Spray card.

    • Basic White Thick (11" x 4-1/4" card base)

    • Basic Black (3-7/8" x 5-1/8")

DOstamping Tips:

  • Stamp the floral spray image twice (be sure to stamp the second one upside down).  Leave a little space between them.
  • Color with Watercolor Pencils and a Blender Pen.
    • daisy = Crushed Curry and Early Espresso
    • 3-petal flower = Cajun Craze
    • other flower = Cherry Cobbler
    • greenery = Old Olive
  • Don't over blend or the paper will "pill"
  • Take a closer look at the sentiment.  By die cutting an extra Basic Black banner, you'll get a lovely matted look to your sentiment.

I love the way this card turned out.  The images were small enough for me to have a successful watercolor experience.  Watercoloring is not normally  in my wheelhouse.  But with practice I have gotten better and I do love the look.

If you like to watercolor and you like autumn styled bundles, then you'll want to add the Hello Harvest Bundle to your shopping cart. 

  • When your order totals $50 or more, during Sale-a-Bration you'll get to select a free product!  NOTE:  choose Sale-a-Bration free items during the check out process. 
  • By adding an additional $15 to your order - total $65 or more, you'll qualify for my monthly Host Code Gift (scroll down for more information)

Thank you for choosing to shop with me!

Two Fable Friends Cards: Not Just For Easter!

Last week I shared a few Easter cards using the Fable Friends stamp set

But did you know...Fable Friends Cling Stamp Set [148670] is not just for Easter.  Who can resist these cute animals for baby, friends and spring projects too?  Check out the darling baby and friend cards below...

Stampin' Up! Fable Friends cards shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #babycards

How'd She DO That? tips for Darling Baby card:

  • Stamps: Fable Friends
    Paper:
    • Petal Pink (5 1/2" x 8 1/2" card base)
    • Soft Seafoam (5/8" x 4-1/4" for sentiment)
    • Thick Whisper White (scrap for bunny)

Stampin' Up! Fable Friends cards shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping #howdshedothat #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping #papercrafting #babycards

The bunny is so cute and hard to resist his sweet face!


Use Stampin' Up! Catalogs for inspiration!

If you found the bunny card a little bit familiar, that is because it was inspired by the layout from the kangaroo card on page 26 of the Annual Catalog.   Even though the original sample is from the Animal Exhibition Suite, it works perfectly with the adorable bunny image, don't you think? 

So don't forget, Stampin' Up! catalogs make for a great resource to use when you are feeling "stuck" on a layout.

DOstamping Tips:

  • For Watercoloring:
    • Stamp Rooster on Watercolor Paper and watercolor while you make the card. 
    • This way each color layer is completely dry before another layer of color. 
    • Start with the lightest and worked up to the darkest color.
  • For Double Z card:
    • Score and fold Mango Melody card base, and then adhere Designer Series Paper (as shown)
    • Score and fold Real Red strip.  Adhere smallest area of the strip to the right edge of the card. 
    • Fold strip and card closed at the same time, and then adhere left edge of strip to left edge of card.

DOstamping Tips:

  1. To get the different shades of black...use a light touch for the gray areas, then press harder to get a true black.  Blend lightly with a Blender Pen.
  2. Don't recognize the DSP.  It's the back side of the Botanical Butterflies Designer Series Paper (FREE with $50 order).  ALL the back sides of this double-sided paper are black & white patterns.  Gotta love that!

Beautiful Accented Blooms

I'm so excited about the way this Accented Blooms card turned out.  It's watercolored (which I'm not the best at).  But, when you use our Shimmery White paper, anyone can look like a watercolor expert - even me!  

Stampin' Up! Accented Blooms card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping  #papercrafting #accentedblooms #thankyoucards

How'd She DO That? tips for Accented Blooms card:

  1. Stamps: Accented Blooms
  2. Paper:
    • Night of Navy (4 1/4" x 11" card base)
    • Shimmery White (4" x 5 1/4")
    • Petal Pink (scrap for punch)
  3. Ink: Versa Mark, Sentiment-Calaypso Coral, Leaves-Old Olive, Flowers- from top going counterclockwise
    • Daffodil Delight and Crushed Curry
    • Night of Navy and Crushed Curry
    • Calypso Coral and Poppy Parade
    • Petal Pink and Calypso Coral
    • Pool Party and Tranquil Tide
  4. Other: Tailored Tag, Heat Tool, Embossing Buddy, White Stampin' Emboss Powder, Blender Pen, Calypso Coral 1/4" Ombre Ribbon and Stampin' Dimensionals
  5. Tips
    • Ink flower image with Versamark ink, stamp on Shimmery White Paper, then cover with White Stampin' Emboss Powder. Remove excess and melt with Heat Tool.
    • Use blender pen and ink pressed into the ink case lid for coloring. 
    • Start with the lighter color then come back with the darker color.
    • Was going for a  watercolored look, so I didn't mind it the flowers weren't fully colored in.

Stampin' Up! Accented Blooms card shared by Dawn Olchefske #dostamping  #stampinup #handmade #cardmaking #stamping  #papercrafting #accentedblooms #thankyoucards

As you know...Accented Blooms is my favorite stamp set from the new 2018-2019 Annual Catalog. Check out my Accented Blooms Pinterest Board for even more inspiration!

Besides the beautiful floral image, I find myself reaching for the "thank you" and "hello" sentiments in the set.   Add the Accented Blooms stamp set to your shopping bag today (and the Tailored Tag punch - if you don't already have it).  

Enjoy~Dawn O
