Translucent Florals

We're giving a last hurrah to a couple of our departed colors this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #415!  Who's with us??
Since I got a very special delivery today of a pre-pre-preview set for our demo-only Creativity Now event coming in June, I couldn't resist inking that baby up!  I'm not usually a big florals person, but the "translucent" possibilities of this set just intrigue me!  I started by doing a stamped all-over background layer to check out the images - wowza!  After I was done, I decided to try embossing it also - a cool trick I've been seeing a lot lately!  I have to say, I'm really happy with the results!  I popped up my sweet sentiment, tucked in a little stem and finished with some Petal Pink ribbon and sequins.  So pretty!
I can't wait to see YOUR pretty projects with our colors this round, too - meet you at the challenge!

Fun On Wheels

I'm thrilled to be able to sneak into In{k}spire Me #506's latest challenge - such a cute combo!  I think I can also JUST make Cardz 4 Guyz #322's National Bike Month theme!
As soon as I added the bike theme, I knew I wanted to ink up my new Fun On Wheels bundle - cute wheels, and great dies to go with!  I thought through the colors, and realized that Lemon Lolly is pale enough to go for my card base, so I was off to the races after that, lol.  I pulled in my Stylish Shapes dies for some details, and stamped the map in Lemon Lolly behind the bike, and my sentiment onto this Granny Apple Green Banner.  A few touches of Tahitian Tide Blend Marker and I think I pulled it off!

Happiness Abounds

So excited - it' my turn to host the sketch at Sunday Stamps #310 this week!  I decided to try a little stretch (for me, lol) and go for a square layout!
The timing for this one is perfect - I have a dear friend who has a pen pal (remember those?) who is turning 96!  Wow!  She asked if I could make a special card for a special lady, and she had lots of details she wanted included.  Purples, roses, textures, pearls, those are all by request, and they gave me a chance to finally try out the gorgeous Happiness Abounds set.  I'm REALLY late coming to this one - I was letting it pass me by, when I realized, I somehow have no rose sets!  Not sure how that happened, but this is a beautiful choice for that!  There's also a very personalized inside panel, that really speaks to their loving correspondence.  Such a privilege to create!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for this one, too - meet you at the challenge!

You're Stellar

I am SO over the moon about the return of The Library Challenge!  We're kicking off with #81 - The Reading List!  I've not read it, but it's waiting on my kindle now, lol.
With such a bold cover design, I treated the book front as a sketch, lol, one of my favorite tricks!  I also went a little inter-stellar with this one:  the intriguing Stargazing suite was still waiting on my desk to be tried out!  Time to dabble!  I found this spacey Milky Way sheet in the DSP to serve as my diagonal, and added different colored planets also from the DSP instead of "windows," lol.  I'm pretty stoked with my final results - a little stellar sentiment goes in the middle, and I even had some Adhesive-Backed Stars left over from the holiday catty!  Not too shabby!  So happy the Library has re-opened!

Pink Daisies

In celebration of their 9th birthday, AAA #240 is looking for a pink birthday card - no problem!
I knew the lovely dies in our new Cheerful Daisies would be just right - so pretty to layer!  I combined Bubble Bath & Melon Mambo for these - and I love the effect, lol.  I kept my background white for the CAS brief, popped up my birthday sentiment, and finished with a few Melon Mambo dots - I think CAS is starting to grow on me.  Just a tiny bit.  Lol.  Happy birthday, AAA!

Another cute book cover at this month's Once Upon a Time #10 - One Love, based on the Bob Marley song!
This one was a tough one for me, lol.  I finally decided that the big green letters with touches of red reminded me of Christmas!  So that's the direction I went!  I started with the Large Letters dies - argh, too big, so I switched to Alphabet a la Mode, lol.  I still had these asterisks left over from when I tried the first alphabet, so I kept them for decoration!  I added this super slim stamped sentiment at the bottom from Sweet Candy Canes just so there'd be something stamped!

There's still time to play at this month's "no stamping" challenge at Christmas Craft Creations!  You gotta try this!
For the reminder post, I once again went for dies and DSP, lol.  Always thinking of the envelope!  Anyway, this one didn't come out quite as I had envisioned.  I think the choice of DSP started giving me a "countrified" vibe, so I ended up rolling with that, lol.  I combined three different trees using the Perfect Pines dies, and got my sentiment from my old Christmas Greetings set.  I use these dies quite a bit, and as usual, I stacked up three layers to give the "merry" even more lift!  I also got to try out our new Lemon Lolly for the stars - it's definitely brighter than So saffron was.  I finished with some Fine Sparkle Gems - gotta have a little shine for Christmas trees!

Hah - my fave challenge is running at Retro Rubber #207 this round - "anything goes!"  Now I get to bring out the good stuff!
Among my oldest stamp sets are Loads of Love and Loads of Love Accessories - just the cutest little truck ever, lol.  I think I only have one set older than these, lol.  They haven't been out in a while, so today is their day!  I pulled this cute plaid sheet of Garden Green DSP to float over Crumb Cake, stamped my truck, and picked my accessories.  Who wouldn't love a truckload of cute dogs?  I added myself driving, and this punny sentiment to go with, which I cut out with our fabulous new Nested Essential Dies - just right!
I can't wait to see YOUR cute projects - what's your oldest stamp?

We want to see something masculine this round at Make My Monday #201!
This seemed like the perfect chance to break in my new Level Complete stamp set - chock full of gamer gear and arcade fonts, lol.  I also added in this bright orange sheet from the Stargazing DSP pack - so many cool cosmic patterns!  Did anyone else hang out in Time Out to play games, with an Orange Julius from next door?  Those were the days, lol.  We always had some quarters or tokens in our pockets!  We sure didn't have these cool controllers back then, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR masculine projects, too - meet you at the challenge!

Such a sweet inspiration quote this round at Time Out Challenges #238!
I decided to focus on the rainbow, and I snagged my Rainbow of Happiness bundle off the retired shelves to do it, lol.  But how could I do something DIFFERENT with it?  I focused quickly on the big partial arc die, and decided to try a simple inlaid die pattern!  I also feel like our 2021-23 In Colors are PERFECT for rainbows, and I managed to squeeze in all five of them!  I finished with this supportive sentiment, and some rhinestone "stars" - love how super simple this is!
