DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge #298-Bright Wishes

Hi Stampers,

Today's DOStamper Stars Challenge is a product spotlight challenge using the new Stampin' Blends. I used the stamp set Bright Wishes. The sentiments in this set work wonderfully with the Dandelion Wishes stamp set. For my card, I chose to use the spotlight technique. I stamped the image with Memento Black and then punched out a circle with the 1-3/4" circle punch. I colored the small circle with my Stampin' Blends. I punched out a 2" circle and adhered with dimensionals to the back of my image. This stamp would look great fully colored with the Stampin' Blends but I had some time constraints.

Remember you can purchase everything in my online store to recreate this card. Add this to your shopping cart today!!!

 

Country Home-Happy Harvest Blessings

Hi Stampers,

This week's featured stamp set is Country Home from the new Christmas catalog. Farmhouse decor is so popular right now. You see it everywhere for inspiration. Stampin' Up! is definitely on target with the Country Lane Suite of products. The galvanized Metallic paper is just that----galvanized. The Tin Tile Dynamic Textured Impressions Embossing Folder puts this suite over the top in my book.  Growing up, one of my older brothers owned a local bakery. It was housed in one of the town's old buildings that had the punched tin ceiling. When I saw the embossing folder that was the first thing that came to mind. I also love using Crushed Curry for Fall/Autumn cards. I heat embossed with black embossing powder on the galvanized Metallic paper also.

Make sure you add this suite to your shopping cart today!!!

Thanks for stopping by!!

Rooted In Nature Masked Leaves

Hi Stampers,

For today's card I used a torn mask to sponge Fall colors on the Very Vanilla. I stamped the leaves in Tranquil Tide.  I'm having a ball using rich, regal Autumn colors. The sentiment I used is from the Beautiful Day stamp set.

I hope I inspired you in some way or at least to start stamping cards for Fall.

Rooted In Nature Thinking Of You

Hi Stampers,

Today's card looks like Fall. In fact, it's not hard to make Fall cards with this stamp set at all. I think it's just the frame of mind I have been in especially hoping for cooler weather. It was 91 degrees again today. LOL

I almost forgot about having the Wood Textures Designer Series Paper in my arsenal. Did you know it is the only DSP that Stampin' Up! has ever carried over for more than one year?  I embossed it with the Woodland Embossing Folder. I also sponged different Fall colors on a piece of Whisper White and cut out the leaves with the Seasonal Layers thinlits.

I think I have plenty of sponged paper for more Fall leaves!!!

Lilypad Lake Shadowbox Card

Hi Stampers,

Going along with my challenge, today I made a shadowbox card with the Lilypad Lake stamp set. I also used the palm tree image from the Waterfront stamp set. You can't have an ocean scene without some palm trees!!!! This card goes well with the weather we are having here in Michigan--another 90 degree day and muggy. Hopefully the humidity will settle down and soon.

I did do a lot of masking with this card-sunset, water and sentiment. The sentiment was die cut even smaller than the framelit in the Lilypad bundle. You just die cut using the framelit, run it through the Big Shot, move the framelit over and run it through the Big Shot again.

Top view of card:

I also used Whisper White for the "back panel" so you can turn the card over to write your message to the recipient.

Shadowbox Card

1. Cut 2 pieces of cardstock 4-1/4 x 5-1/2 inches. Score each piece along the 5-1/2" piece at 1/2, 1, 4-1/2 and 5 inches.
2. Die cut or punch out your opening on the front piece.
3. Stamp image on the back panel.
4. Burnish all score lines.
5. Using tear tape adhere your card together on both ends.
6. Using scrap cardstock, stamp your sentiment and cut out.
7. Embellish card if needed.

I hope you give this fun fold a try!!! Remember to add this stamp bundle to your shopping cart today!! If you spend $50 or more before shipping and handling, you will receive a $5 off your order for next month!!! No limits!!!

Bokeh Enjoy Life

Hi Stampers,

This week I am focusing on the Enjoy Life stamp set. We were first introduced to this set at OnStage in April in Wisconsin. Connie Fitzgerald is a Million Dollar Achiever who helped design this set after her children. When she took the stage to demonstrate this set I had no idea she had lost her son who loved to ride his bike EVERYWHERE and also wanted to include her daughter in this. When she was explaining that my eyes were full of tears. How she got up in front of a crowd of 1000 to explain and demonstrate I will never know. Bless her heart and her craft. This was one of the first stamp sets I ordered. It has such beautiful sayings!!!

I chose to do the bokeh technique. You sponge whatever colors you like on Whisper White. Then with a circle template (make your own out of a window sheet cutting various size circles) you sponge daub Whisper White craft ink and let dry overnight. I love the effects of this technique.

I hope you give this technique a try!!! I think it has quite the WOW factor, don't you?

Make sure you place this stamp set in your shopping cart today!!
