 Hm, what a nifty sketch they have this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #461! I knew right away that for this one I would want to coordinate some fun DSP with all the other different layers - whew! A lot to unpack! I finally settled on our Season of Green & Gold for the DSP, and it took me a bit to work out the rest of the layers, too, lol. Then I had to go hunting for a festive sentiment that would fit in the space assigned - I had to dig deep! I finally spotted this little guy in 2020's Warm Hugs stamp set - such a fun one to go with little espresso cups! Anyway, I got work putting it all together, and I'm really pleased with the final outcome! I even slipped in some texture! Warm Hugs Stamp Set (retired 2020); Season of Green & Gold DSP; Basic White, Old Olive, Mossy Meadow & Soft Sea Foam CS; Cherry Cobbler Ink; Golden Greenery Dies; Distressed Tile EF; Gold Festive Pearls; #HSS461.

 So pretty - AAA Cards #288 has a fabulous sketch for us this round! This seemed like another great chance to break in one more upcoming stamp bundle - this one is called Sunrise Sailing! The bundle includes a lovely nautical stamp set, along with a hybrid embossing folder and dies, which I didn't break in to today, lol. The set has several fabulous sentiments, too, and I went with this "great things" one - I do so love a good encouraging card! I used a blending brush to create my background circle, and set my sailboat over it, along with some detail stamping on the sails and cabin. I couldn't resist a few sea birds, too! The sentiment was next, and then a few Misty Moonlight Tinsel Gems. I think it's still pretty CAS!

Such an honor to guest design for Time Out Challenges #287 this round! Check out this party picture! I found this one to be a real stumper! I don't have many (or any?) fancy dress stamps, OR masks, which actually surprised me! So I went with the colors, and pulled in our delightful Turtle-y Awesome Suite again. This shell sheet in Shaded Spruce is such a great match for the greens, I couldn't resist! I made up a scrappy background for this handsome drummer, and tucked on the birthday sentiment to go with. I finished with a few Loose Daisy Embellishments to go with the flowers in the inspiration pic - maybe I should have done more! I hope you have a chance to join in on this fun inspiration at Time Out Challenges this round - see you there!

So excited to play the new round at NBUS #73! I have lots of new goodies to break in! Today's sneak peek winner is the Party Piggy bundle! This little cutie will be available soon from our upcoming Online Exclusives - and he's a major ham! The sweet set also has a little set of dies to go with it, AND, he has little shaker cups for his tum-tum, too! a shaker pig! The world is a great place indeed! I went for a simple and quick version today to give him a go: starting with stamping him directly on Petal Pink, and adding some tone detail with Blends Markers. I added the party hat and flags, too, and stuck with the birthday sentiment. I was so pleased to realize that I had this dotty Petal Pink sheet in my retired Sale-a-Bration Fruit Salad DSP! I finished with a few Petal Pink Foiled Gems, too!

Time for another tic-tac-toe at Retro Rubber #253! I love when we suggest a sentiment - that really gives me a starting place to search through my shelves of retirement, lol. So that meant I went with our left-hand column of Green - Ribbon - Thank You! No flowers or embossing for me today, lol! I started by choosing my stamp set, and hit on 2023's Conversation Bubbles - I still SO love the dies for this fun set! The thank you in here is the cutest, and I can do all kinds of additional bubbles with the dies! Once that was settled, off to find some "green" - how about this wild sheet from the Full of Life DSP pack? I love the look of watercolor washes, so this splashy sheet was just what I wanted! I heat-embossed my "thank you" in White onto Granny Apple Green, then filled in some extras with a bunch of other likely greens. This scrap of old Lemon Lime Twist ribbon seemed just the thing! I can't wait to see YOUR take on our little noughts game this round - don't forget to make it Retro! Conversation Bubbles Stamp Set & Dies (retired 2023); Full of Life DSP; Basic White, Shaded Spruce, Shy Shamrock, Soft Sea Foam, Lemon Lime Twist, Old Olive & Granny Apple Green CS; Versmark Ink; White EP; Lemon Lime Twist Mini Striped Ribbon (retired); Lemon Lime Twist Transparent Dots; #RRCB253.

So fun - we want to see "things with wings" this round at Make My Monday #250! I couldn't resist checking out my retired shelves for this one - and I can't remember HOW long it's been since I stamped with Dragonfly Dreams! These guys are so pretty, and I still love that I can stamp their wing colors separately, too. I chose this pretty sheet from the Thoughtful Journey DSP pack, so I made the dragonfly wings with stamped-off Berry Burst to go with - yum! I combined with our Spring Corners set for my sentiment, too - so cool to wrap the corners with the sentiment! I can't wait to see YOUR wings this round - meet you at the challenge!

Oo, a new challenge format this round at Time Out Challenges #286! I have to "pick 2!" Well, I ended up picking 3, lol. "Arch" was easy enough with our Everyday Arches bundle standing by, and my favorite stencils happen to be floral, so that makes 3! I think I could even say I have 4 with "pastel," but I wasn't intending that one, I just wanted to try these pinks together! I stamped my Layers of Beauty floral image onto White, in Black, and then went to town with the stenciling. My flowers are two layers of Pretty in Pink, with a final layer in Strawberry Slush. My two layers of Lemon Lime Twist make up the leaves. Came out so pretty altogether! I cut with my Everyday Arches dies, adding a layer in Pretty in Pink, and finished with some Pretty in Pink Party Dots. Such a light and fresh final look!

Wow, Festive Friday #182 has an awesome inspo list for Earth Day! So many great elements here - I went around and picked up a bunch of stuff from the list - then whittled down to this beauty! And I couldn't resist using my Country Woods DSP, either, lol. I finally settled on my old Sheltering Tree set from 2019 - and I still love it! This was one of our earlier photopolymer sets, and the possibilities for easily building a scene were thrilling, lol. I found this "frame" and rectangle tucked in my Deckled Rectangles sleeve, and decided to use these for my stamping surface! So cool to pop up the center once I was done - I had a fun time playing with layers today! And the sentiment - just right for Earth Day, too! I think I got Earthy Colors, Wooden Elements & Trees from the list!

Oo, we have a doozy for you at this round of As You See It #346! What retired crafting tool would you NEVER let go of?? For me, that tool is the Stamp-A-Ma-Jig! I even have multiple ones, in case anything happens to one, lol. I just love this little sucker! Once I got the knack of how to hold everything, it's the fastest way I know to quickly stamp something in a specific place, or on a little scrap, or whatever, and it works especially awesome on wood-mounted stamps, or red rubber! They can't all be photopolymer, lol. To show it off, I did today's tiled bunny layout using my SAMJ and 2010's Chocolate Bunny stamp - a single wood-mount that I can never let go, lol. Now, don't get me wrong, my Stamp-a-ratus and marker spritzer are firmly clutched in my OTHER hand, but I reach for my SAMJ all the time! I can't wait to see YOUR answers to this thorny question, lol - meet you at the challenge!

We have SUCH a vibrant color challenge at Cupcake Inspirations #615! As soon as I saw this one, I immediately thought of our Ocean Friends suite - that DSP has the same vibrant colors - I love the lobsters and crabs so glamorous! I started by going through the pack and finding this ocean-y sheet that had both pink and orange on it for my background - subtle and cool! Then I added some Melon Mambo coral and Pumpkin Pie fronds - just right! Next, I picked an orange lobster and a pink crab from my little sleeve of pre-cut critter - I ran a sheet through my scan-n-cut and have a slew of them now, lol. The stacked thanks went in the upper corner for my sentiment, and I finished with 3 Sunny Day Dots. Love it all!
