What a fun way to think of color - AAA #239 would like us to pick a "hot" or a "cold" color scheme - AND keep it CAS! I think I'll my new guy Chuck show off his hotness today, lol. This is my first dabble with our new Hey Chuck set (goes with our Hey Chick sets, remember them?) and he is definitely one hot dude! He's showing off his skate-boarding skills today, and having a blast doing it! The dies that go with this set are perfect, and there are even a couple extras, like this sunburst I put together for his backdrop. Go get 'em, Chuck! Hey Chuck Stamp Set; Poppy Parade, Basic White & Mango Melody (shh, retired) CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Poppy Parade, Cherry Cobbler, Basic Black, Mango Melody (retired) & Color Lifter Blends Markers; Hey Chuck & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Mango Melody Milky Dots (retired); #AAA239.

I'm so excited to guest design this month at Christmas Craft Creation's May challenge - and it's a doozy! NO STAMPING! On purpose! I went and pulled some likely dies for this one - think I found just the thing (or two, lol.) I think I'll keep our Wreath Builder dies forever - so many great combos! For my sentiment, I layered together my "peace" using our Joy dies. Both of these are retired keepers, for sure! I wanted to play a little with some new and returning colors, too, so I combined Misty Moonlight and Boho Blue - so pretty together! I did a tiny bit of highlighting with White, too - it really pops! And so glad I had some first-run DSP left for Misty Moonlight, so I could do something on the envelope with it, too - no naked envelopes!

After a few false starts, I settled on Birthday-Punch-Pens, and I pulled out my ill-fated Carry On hostess set from 2012! I've always been so grateful I managed to snag one before it got pulled - the "carry on" tag line is one my grandmother used a lot, as an English war bride - she even worked in Churchill's Underground! I think she would laugh at all the funny takes there are on this deeply meaningful campaign slogan, though I never lose sight of its origin! I can't wait to see YOUR tic-tac-toe winner, too - meet you at the challenge!

This round, we want to see it CAS, with a base and no more than one layer! I almost hate to do it for a CAS card, but I can't hold out any longer on debuting my Zany Zoo set, lol. This SO does not do justice to the many fun goodies that are in this suite! Even so, this little raccoon was getting quite bent that they've been waiting so long, so it had to be done! Since I was keeping to one layer over my base, I opted for a bold birthday color for my base - Berry Burst! I was so happy to see this color return, yum! I even still have a few first-round extras too, like the pretty DSP I used on the envelope! I added a narrow strip to my inside layer as well, and dressed up my balloons with some Wink of Stella! I can't wait to see YOUR CAS creations for us, too - meet you at the challenge!

I knew I had to pull out our Dressed to Impress set that retired last year - so many great fashion images and sentiments! I always love the lipstick combo the best, even though I don't wear it myself, lol. I made a little color swatch of great lipstick colors, and floated them all over an embossed black panel to really make them pop! I finished with a few Solid Faceted Gems for even more "boldness," lol. So fun! And remember, "If you're sad, add more lipstick and attack." (Coco Chanel!)

As soon as I saw the suggestion for a spinner card in the deets, I really wanted to make one, lol. It's been so long! My favorite spinners are with critters, naturally, lol, and I thought a cart0wheeling rhino would be the very DEFINITION of a wild birthday! I found the perfect background in our Fresh As A Daisy DSP, which has two pages of possible backgrounds to cut apart - looked like the African tundra to me! I even put my window punchouts behind the spinner slot, to help disguise it! This was so fun to make!

We want to see your latest craft stash addition at As You See It #298! For me, the biggest news is our new 2023-25 In Colors! This is the second time I've shown them off all together, this time with our cute new angel policy set, Stamped With Love! There are some adorable images in this one, and I am so thrilled to have the nice copyright stamp back in photopolymer, too, lol. Anyway, I couldn't resist riffing off one of the card samples shown in the catty for this set, lol, TOO fun! I can't wait to see YOUR latest acquisitions, too - meet you at the challenge!

One of my go-to flower sets is still Color & Contour! I love the sketchy look of the floral images, and the sweet sentiments to go with! And of course, it has FABULOUS dies, too, lol. I went with this pretty stem today, and in honor of my birthday, did my fave combo of purple and green! Orchid Oasis and Granny Apple Green were made for each other, lol, and I still have the original DSP, and Matte Dots to play with, too! Love how this came out!

This should be fun - Can You Handle the Pressure has a "baby" twist for this round, I don't make too many of those! I decided to pull out my Wildly Happy set from 2021, that shows the various baby animals with their moms (or dads, could be, lol.) I don't think I've done the elephant pair before, and I wanted it to be super simple, so I could feature the embossing. I decided to use one of our new Basics Trio folders, and I have decided to start calling this one the elephant folder, lol, because the DE-boss side looks JUST like an elephant hide! So cool! I colored these cuties with my blends, and then ended up coloring my tiny sentiment, too, for a tiny pop of color. After I added those Pebble Enamel Shapes, it was just all gray, all the way, and I needed to break it up!

We have a diamond of a sketch for you this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #413! I am so thrilled to finally get to "break in" my new Crafting With You bundle! I swear, I think Stampin' Up! is giving us our chance to make a set of stampin' tools in any color we want! Today I had to have a paper trimmer in Berry Burst! Such amazing dies! I combined my stamps with the Bright & Beautiful DSP stack, too, to add even more color - I can't wait to make SO many more of these, lol. I can't wait to see YOUR diamond projects, too - meet you there!
