Hi Stampers,
I just LOVE making these eclipse cards!!! It gives such a WOW factor!!! I borrowed the "Make A Wish" from the stamp set Happy Birthday Gorgeous. I masked the "Wish" before I stamped. This type of card also puts to use my Large Letter Framelits.
I hope you give this technique a try!!

Hi Stampers,
I used the Cut Away Card Technique but with a twist--I turned it to landscape. Just a little experimenting with it, so I went with it. I also like the embossed end pieces for continuity of the "waves".
I hope you like it!! Remember to place the Lilypad Bundle in your shopping cart today!!!

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.

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

Hi Stampers,
Have you ever wanted to try something out of the ordinary? Well I did. I used my acrylic block as the stamp. I have seen many cards done this way and thought what the heck, I'm going to give it a try. I'm trying to step out of my comfort zone trying new techniques and such. I think I need some work but it isn't terrible. After all, I have to keep telling myself "it's only paper."
Have you ever tried this technique? If not, maybe you should give it a try.

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!!

Hi Stampers,
Welcome back to a DOStamper Stars Thursday Challenge featuring a showCASE challenge. For today's card using this challenge I used the Label Card Technique. These are the labels I used.
Directions:
Cut your piece of label down to desired size to use on your card. You stamp your image directly on the piece of Avery Label. Adhere the label to a piece of cardstock you wish to use as the backing. I did use Fast Fuse to adhere this. Tear and Tape would be good for this also. After doing this, carefully peel the "grid" from the label. Voila!!! You now have your card!!! Adhere to your card base and embellish further if you wish. I hope you give this technique a try!!!
Hi Stampers,
I apologize for the posting mess up. I should have posted Mon/Tuesday but didn't hit "schedule". So, anyways, back to my post. Today's card I am copying my upline Dawn Olchefske's card called Folded Window Card.
I used Poppy Parade for the first time. Just love the vibrant color and the matching mini striped ribbon.
And, yes, this wouldn't be my card unless I smudged it up somehow!!! Hence, the cut out greeting for the inside to cover up my booboo. Gawd!!!!
Directions:
For this card, you need a piece of cardstock cut at 9-1/2 x 5-1/4". Score along the 9-1/2" side at 2-1/2 and 5-1/2". Using the 2-1/2 inch circle punch, punch through the folded cardstock. If you wish to emboss you should do so at this time. Stamp your image and also stamp your greeting on a scrap piece of paper. Tie ribbon around the front. Adhere the one side of the greeting to the front of the card with dimensionals. Adhere the top layer to the bottom base which is cut at 5-1/2 x 4-1/4".
I hope you give this card fold a try!! There are some great floral images in the Annual Catalog.
Make sure to add this stamp set to your shopping cart today!!

Hi Stampers,
For today's card I used the Eclipse Card technique. You die cut the letters from the card and pop them up with adhesive strips. When you place back on the card, you move them just a smidge over-hence "eclipse". I also used another new color - Merry Merlot. It is a very rich, regal burgundy color. I can see using this at Christmas time. For the XOXO's (hugs and kisses) I just had to have a play on words.
By the end of the week, I hope to have a nice little stash of Get Well Cards. How about you? Do you make these ahead of time or at the time of need? Remember, all the supplies for this card can be purchased in my online store. Happy shopping!!!

Hi Stampers,
Today's card features the Healing Hugs stamp set with the barn door technique. You simply cut from the top of the fold down 2-1/8" and then across. Easy, peazy!!! I hope you like today's card. Yellow roses are my fav!!!
I just fell in love with this stamp set and I needed some Get Well cards in my stash. By the time I finish a Get Well card it seems the person has already recovered!!! Don't let that happen to you!!!
I used the 2-1/4" circle punch to cut the half circle. I also popped up the rose with dimensionals.
Make sure you add this to your shopping cart today. Don't forget about the awesome Buy 3 Get one FREE DSP deal going on now!!! Good only through July 31!!!

Hi Stampers,
Back with another card using the Painted Glass stamp set. This time I used the technique called Triple Time Stamping. The medallion stamp in this set is excellent to use for this technique. I also used a new color-Balmy Blue. This is such a pretty blue!!
Technique:
You cut all of your white bases and temporarily adhere them to stamp all 3 layers at once!!!
Whisper White cut at:
2 x 3-1/4 3 x 4-1/4 4 x 5-1/4
Mats are cut at:
2-1/4 x 3-1/2 3 -1/4 x 4-1/2 Base of card: 8-1/2 x 5-1/2
After stamping, take them apart and adhere the Whisper White pieces to their coordinating mat. I used dimensionals in between the layers.
I also have an embossed card for you using the same stamp set and colors. I used white embossing powder and used a sponge dauber dipped in Balmy Blue.
I hope you are able to give this technique a try!!
Thanks for stopping by!!!
