Dawn's Tool Tips: Stampin' Around Wheel Guide Video, Straight Lines

Are you Stampin' Around Wheel challenged?  Are you frustrated trying to get straight lines?  I sure was! Now I never worry about crooked wheel images with Stampin Up!'s Stampin' Around Wheel Guide (#104834).  It's a straight edge and ruler for your Stampin' Around Wheels - love it! 

Dawn's Tool Tips: Stampin' Around Wheel Guide

1.  It comes with two 12" rulers that snap together to make a 22" straight edge or a right angle corner. 

2.  Before you use the Wheel Guide for the first time, peel off the release paper from the rubber feet and attach the feet to the shaded areas (four on each guide) on the underside corners.

3.  Works with Stampin’ Around wheels (standard, jumbo or builder wheels) 

4.  Clear rulers allow you to view artwork 

 

Remember this card?  I've received a few questions about the background, which was stamped using the"In Stitches" Jumbo Wheel from the 2011 Occasions Mini Catalog.

In addition, I received some comments about how it looks so straight.  So I thought I would do a quick how-to video.

Stampin' Up! Build-a-Blossom Video: How to Assemble

After posting this Blossom Petals Punch Tip Video, I've been receiving a lot a inquires on how to assemble a Stampin' Up! Build-a-Blossom.  I taught this at my Stamping Club Class earlier this month, so I put together a how-to video (see below). 

 

It's quite easy to assemble the flower once you figure out the positioning of the petals.  Watch the video for a demonstration.

Uncle Sam Punch Art

Are you interested in Punch Art?  If so...I've got a treat for you today!  First off...here's a fun Patriotic Theme Card for you...Uncle Sam, using Stampin' Up! punches!

He was one of four cards we made at my Getting Punchy Summer Stamp Camp last week.  Other cards included Tinkerbell, Monkey Tiki Hut & Japanese Doll. 

The mustard panel is stamped using the new Red, White & Blue Jumbo wheel from the 2010 Stampin' Up! Summer Mini Catalog.  I love the look of the Real Red ink on the Mustard...gives it an "old" look.

See below for the "recipe" card for the punches we used to make Uncle Sam.   (NOTE:  The Small Star punch is a retired punch)

Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels - So Much Fun!

How much fun is this?!  I'm lovin' these new Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels in the Summer Mini Catalog. 

I'm still too chicken to commit to a color combo in my triple cell ink cartridge.  Anyone else suffer from chickenitis?  For this one, I used my soon-to-be-retiring Ballet Blue jumbo ink cartridge.  Then colored in the rest with markers:  Green Galore, Gable Green & Crushed Curry (all retiring).  Add a retiring Crushed Curry Polka Dot ribbon and you're done!

If you want to learn more about builder wheels, check out my Builder Wheels Video

 

Dawns Stamping Quick Tip
The image on the Birthday Builder Wheel actually reads: Happy Birthday to You (which is longer than a standard card).  I found the best way to get the exact words you want on your card is to cut a piece of paper longer than your card.  Wheel the entire image.  Then attach it to your card, centering the words onto your card.  Trim the ends off.

While on my Stampin' Up! Southern Caribbean Cruise, I saw this darling little box made with Stampin' Up! Two Tags Die and the Big Shot.  It was shared by Lisa Curcio.  I made some slight changes to the measurements and did it for my Big Shot class last month.  They loved it!!

New Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels: How-to Video!

Have you seen them?  The new Stampin' Up! Builder Wheels in the 2010 Summer Mini Catalog.  They are so much fun to use!  However, they are a little different from our Jumbo and Standard wheels. 

Watch a video on the variety of ways to use the Builder Wheels as well as standard instruction of "wheel use".  Which can be applied to any of Stampin' Up! wheels (Standard, Jumbo or Builder Wheel size).

If you're unable to view, click on STAMPIN' UP! BUILDER WHEELS VIDEO to view on YouTube.

If you have any additional questions about Builder Wheels, just let me know and I'll be happy to answer them for you!

Enjoy~Dawn O

June Wicked Challenges for Splitcoaststampers

I received a message from my friend Jana Emmert a few months ago and the subject line read, "Do You Feel Wicked?"  I said, "Huh?"  But when I read it, to my delight, she invited me to host Splitcoaststampers June's Wicked Challenges on their demo forum.

Not a demonstrator?  That's OK.  Feel free to play along and share your creations using the challenges below. 

What are Wicked Challenges?  Wonderfully Inspiring Challenges Keep Educating Demos!

Here are my challenges for June 2010:

1.  Say Goodbye to Stampin' Up! In Color Dusty Durango.  Because...I'm not sure why... but I have a lot of it!  Maybe you do too, so use it up!  (Don't have Dusty Durango? Then use Crushed Curry or Bermuda Bay.  All three In Colors will be retiring at the end of this month!).  Throw in a twist and use my color combo:  Dusty Durange, Soft Suede and So Saffron!

 

2.  Get your WHEELS turning!  Stampin' Around wheels that is!  Did you purchase the new Builder Wheels?  Haven't used them yet?  Is there dust build-up on your "old" wheels?  Whether new or old...dust off your wheels and take them out for a spin!

NOTE:  Watch for Two Tags Box Video coming soon!
(Box inspired by fellow demonstrator Lisa Curcio)

3.  Button, Button, who's got the Button?  I fell in love with the new Bitty Buttons.  How about you?  If you have the new Bitty Buttons, use them on a card - don't hoard them.  If you don't have them, use any other Stampin' Up! button you have to add some fun and whimsy to your project!!

 

NOTE:  Watch for Big Bold Cupcake Video Coming Soon (yes, the flower pot was made entirely from the Big Bold Cupcake Sizzix Dies!)
