Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with Dawn Olchefske




Welcome to the Crazy Crafters Blog Hop with our very special guest Dawn Olchefske from DOstamping with Dawn.  You can find out more about Dawn you can check our her blog here

You may just be joining the blog hop here at my blog Leisa Pedersen or may have come from the person previous to me.  Where ever you started, don't miss a single post. There are so many talented demonstrators in our hop today.

Today we are asked to CASE (Copy And Selectively Edit) any project that has been created by Dawn.  

This is Dawn's card I have chosen to case:


And this is my card:



I started this CASE with the idea in mind to keep the antique/vintage sort of look that Dawn created here.  But my first attempt didn't work out, so I scrapped it, started again and ended up with the above card.

Dawn calls this technique "Triple Time Stamping" being that you are stamping 3 layers of card stock at the same time.  This is the first time I have attempted this technique and I must say that I am pretty chuffed with the result.
I chose Soft Suede card stock as the base and matts of my card and Whisper White Thick for the layers. I kept the same measurements as Dawn used - layers are 2"x 3 1/4", 3"x 4 1/4" and 4" x 5 1/4" and the matts 2 1/4"x 3 1/2", 3 1/4"x 4 1/2" and 5 1/2" x 8 1/2" folded. 

I then positioned the 3 Whisper White layers together and stamped the floral image from the Crazy About You stamp set. However when using the Soft Suede ink pad, I found the image stamped to crisp for my liking and the effect that I was going for.  So I used the Stampin' Write marker to colour the stamp.  This gave the stamped image a more uneven, washed out look which is what I wanted.  The sentiment I used is from Butterfly Basics.
Once the 2 smaller matts were complete, I took some Linen Thread and wrapped around a few times, added some dimensionals and adhered to the base layer.  On this inside I just stamped a small images in the bottom corner for an added effect.



There are so many amazing ideas to draw inspiration from so be sure to continue your journey on this blog hop by following the list to see who’s up next!

Thanks so much for stopping by.
