Beach Vacation

Wow!  Time Out Challenge #213 has the perfect theme for us - "on vacation!"
Well, OF COURSE I have to do something beachy - we just got back from Maui 3 weeks ago!  I do also love mountain vacations - Banff Springs, anyone??  But our annual trek to Maui is always a total reset for us, I have to say.  The ocean calls us, lol.  I was delighted today to combine my beloved Paradise Palms with the awesome background-building Oceanfront - what a match!  I even slipped in a new Deckled Rectangle die for my sentiment - I think I'll be using the heck out of these!  What a fun challenge - forever vacation mindset!
Paradise Palms & Oceanfront Stamp Sets; Basic White & Crumb Cake CS; Pool Party, Balmy Blue, Crumb Cake, Mango Melody, Soft Suede & Pear Pizzazz Inks; Palms & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Elegant Faceted Gems; #TOC213.

Yum!  Hope you like our juicy color challenge this week at Sunday Stamps #283 as much as we do!
So I might be seeing things, but I was feeling like I'm seeing a few of our new In Colors in our spread this week, lol, so I am going for it!  How about a funny cactus collection?  I even pulled in a retired In Color, Seaside Spray, lol.  Anyway, I loved the look of these cacti stamped all together that I did it again, and had some fun fussy cutting away - so fun!
I can't wait to see your ideas for our colors - come join the fun!
Cactus Cuties Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Seaside Spray (retired), Orchid Oasis, Sweet Sorbet, Flirty Flamingo & Starry Sky Inks; Sweet Sorbet Matte Decorative Dots; #SSC283.

Oo, here's a fun one!  Cardz 4 Guyz #295 wants to know what "D" is for!
After pulling a few "D" ideas, I settled on this fun set that retired last year, Hot Dog.  I'm always reminded of my Grandma's dog Pretzel when I look at this one - he was a good boy!  I decided he would look spiffy in some new In Colors, for a perfectly manly birthday card!  So many fun embellies for our new In Colors this year - I am THRILLED!  And don't Orchid Oasis and Starry Sky pair together beautifully??
Hot Dog Stamp Set (retired 2021); Starry Sky DSP; Basic White & Orchid Oasis CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Starry Sky, SU400, Mango Melody, Basic Black & Crumb Cake Blends Markers; Tailor Made Tags Dies; Starry Sky Baker's Twine; Orchid Oasis Matte Decorative Dots; #C4G295.

Aw, such sweet "mommy" cookies at this month's If You Give a Crafter a Cookie #168!  Love them!
So, I went searching for mom and baby critter stamps - I did have a few choices, I admit.  But then, as I often do, I wondered about the chickens, lol.  Could I do something new there?  I've never made a Mother's Day card with this set, but I think almost all the elements are there!  So off I went, lol, and it was So. Much. Fun. As the chickens always are!  I finished us off with this cute sentiment from Happy & Heartfelt - just right!

Mother's Day Tea

Oh wow, the inspiration cupcake is SO CUTE this week at Cupcake Inspirations #543!  Love it!
I knew right away I would be using our new Cup of Tea set - so many awesome little tea details, lol.  I wanted to also do a play on the colors, but I wasn't really feeling the pink today, so I went with Fresh Freesia - so soft and pretty!  I put together some base layers using the Scalloped Contours dies; then stamped all my tea pieces on White.  I took my time die-cutting everything, a few fussy bits to keep track of, lol.  I then settled on this layout, and finished with a few brand new Fresh Freesia Opal Rounds - LOVE these in the In Colors!  I think this came out pretty enough to sip!

Bamboo Friendship

We have a fabulous code word at this week's Addicted to CAS #219 - "friendship!"
Browsing through my sets for a good "friend" sentiment, I came across Bamboo Beauty - definitely a set I don't use enough!  Now, how to keep it CAS?  Hopefully this fits the bill, while keeping some soft bamboo colors!  I got away with only stamping and fussy cutting one bamboo pole, and just snipping it in half for some extra stems.  One little foliage sprig finishes it off!  I couldn't resist a few Faux Sea Glass shapes for a tiny bit of extra detail!

Birthday Jar

I'm so excited to bring back some favorite flowers for this week's Retro Rubber #182!  I know I can add in a birthday for it for SU Only #301, too!
Going back through the Shelves of Retirement, I quickly came across Jar of Love, which retired in 2019.  I still love this set!  I decided on the medium jar, and added some stems for my bright blossoms in Poppy Parade.  Simple and quick - this set when it first came out was the one that taught me to play with stamping off more - such an impact!  I added my fave birthday sentiment from Peaceful Moments, some glitter dots, and I was done!  So sweet!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this week - meet you there!
Jar of Love (retired 2019) & Peaceful Moments Stamp Sets; Basic White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pool Party, Granny Apple Green & Poppy Parade Inks; Red Glitter Enamel Dots (retired); #RRCB182; SUOC301.

Another lovely combo for us this week at Fusion's Blue Butterflies challenge!
I poked around a bit, but I don't think today is a butterfly day for me, lol.  I settled on Oceanfront, so I could get in some blues, at least!  This is a rare set for me - one with no sentiments!  But I couldn't let the scene building features pass me by, lol.  I borrowed some birds from On the Horizon, and this sentiment from Bottled Happiness.  It's a tongue-in-cheek pun for that set, but I hear it totally differently with this calm ocean scene!

Such a fun challenge this week at Shopping Our Stash #469 - make a card for someone who has made a difference in your life!
Turns out, we have the perfect sentiment in our Pansy Patch set - yay!  I think my friend will love this!  I even still have some carefully hoarded Pansy Petals DSP - I love to use the dies on this for the gorgeous ready-made pansies, lol.  Sooner or later I'll have to conquer the detail dies, but not yet!  I pulled out some of my favorite sheets, and did my coordinating paper and ink in Evening Evergreen - so rich.  I also decided I could sneak on some of these retired Purple Posy dots to finish - I've never met a green-purple combo I didn't love, lol.

I'm so excited that Make My Monday #173 is running a birthday challenge - these are always fun to make!
I decided to do a man card today - there's just too many cute goodies in the new He's All That suite!  I'm leaning on the Cajun Craze for this one - look at that cute sentiment with car!  And I got to show TWO cool die shapes in the set that goes with the stamps - I'll be using those all over the place, too, I can tell!  So happy that our Faux Suede Trim has survived another year, too - love this stuff!
