Thursday Challenge DSC#063: Vivid Vases

There were so many things to be inspired about from this week’s DOstamperSTARS Home Sweet Home photo inspiration Thursday Challenge… lace/doily, color, vase and hearts, it was hard to choose just one. Even so, I was drawn to the vase & flowers and got out my brand new Vivid Vases stamp by Stampin’ Up!

Challenge Thursday: Holiday Inspiration, JOY

Time for another DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge – this week’s Home Sweet Home inspiration comes from this fun holiday photo. The “candy cane” letters are made with 1/4″ strips of Silver & Red Glimmer Paper and cut with the Typeset Alphabet Dies. Love it!!

DOstamperSTARS Challenge: Autumn Accents

Today I’m sharing my take on this week’s DOstamperSTARS Thursday Challenge. I took inspiration from the colors, Autumn Accents and peaceful feeling of the Home Sweet Home photo selection. I want to draw your attention to the pinecone/acorns. Using the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine, I cut 1-1/4″ Burlap Ribbon using the acorn image from the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.

DSC#058: Sketch Pad, Hearts a Flutter & Expression Thinlits

I selected some paper that was a little more masculine, Sweater Weather Designer Series Paper from the 2013 Holiday Catalog. The “love” was die cut using Champagne Glimmer Paper and the new Expressions Thinlits. TIP: As the glimmer paper is so thick – I recommend running it back and forth in your Big Shot several times, maybe even adding a shim.

DSC#057: Lovely as a Tree, Painters Tape Technique Video

My card features a trendy stamping technique called, Painter Tape Stamping. All you need is painters tape and ink! I used Lovely as a Tree, but any landscape or floral images would work great with this technique. Check out my “How’d She DO that?” video below.
