Time to mix it up at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #461 this week! And I'm adding in the Petal Pink, Coastal Cabana and Soft Suede color challenge we have going at this week's SU Only #251! With all that going on, much as I love a good picnic (and this one looks yummy!) I think I have to stick to just the sketch. Since these colors reminded me of tropical days, I decided to pull in Timeless Tropcial - love these plumeria flowers, even though I never color them how I should! I couldn't resist a pretty basket-weave background to set off my scalloped oval, or one little trinket in the corner - pretty! So what will YOU create? I can't wait to see your projects, over at the challenges! Timeless Tropical Stamp Set; Whisper White, Soft Suede & Coastal Cabana CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Soft Suede Inks; Petal Pink Blend Marker; Coastal Cabana Stamp-n-Write Marker; Layering Ovals & In The Tropics Dies; Bast Weave EF (retired); Tropical Oasis Trinkets (retired); #TSOT461; #SUOC251.

Loving this week's combo from Fusion's "beach" challenge - where we all want to be! OK, has it been more than 3 days since I did a Christmas card?? Gotta take care fo that, lol. Luckily I can do beach and Christmas all in one go with my beloved So Santa set from 2018 - this little Santa with the surfboard still knocks me out, lol. I did a Seaside Spray card base that I embossed with our new Old World Paper EF to make it look watery, then I did a crumb cake layer on top for my "beach" Do you like Santa's trunks? I love them! So Santa Stamp Set (retired 2018); Seaside Spray, Crumb Cake & Very Vanilla CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler, Granny Apple Green, Pool Party Soft Suede Mango Melody & Nude Blends Markers; Cherry Cobbler Diagonal Striped Ribbon; #FusionBeach.

Oo, this is a cool one - The Male Room #137 wants to see some landscapes this week! I actually have a lot of choices here, lol. I decided to pull out my lovely High Tide set today - I haven't used it in a while, but it made the cut to the new catty - wow! Let's have a little party and ink 'er up! I think this was one of my earliest scene building sets, and I love the beachy elements we get to play with. So simple and perfect, anchored by the dramatic two-step lighthouse as well. Why do I have so much beach on the brain these days?? I think I need some sand therapy! High Tide Stamp Set; Whisper White & Crumb Cake CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Sahara Sand, Old Olive Merry Merlot, Seaside Spray & So Saffron Inks; Linen Thread; #TMR137.

This is cool - The Sisterhood of Crafters wants us to show off our fave technique this week! How to choose? Well, I'm not sure this is actually a "technique," but my hands down fave thing to do is color and fussy cut, lol. I can dress up any image however I want, then add some real dimension and flare with the fussy cutting! I love doing all that with the Seaside Notions stamp set, too - this little seahorse and I are pretty dear friends by now, lol. Still, he's too cute to NOT give center stage to! Seaside Notions Stamp Set; Whisper White & Seaside Spray CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Crumb Cake Inks; Crumb Cake, Seaside Spray, Calypso Coral & Mint Macaron Blends Markers; Seaside Spray Faceted Dots; #TSOCFaveTechnique.

Check out this tippy little sketch we have for you this week at Fab Friday #191! I decided this one was a great layout for showing off some new paper - check out these bold stripes from the Flowers For Every Season DSP pack! I'm not so much about the flowers these days, but the "B" side of almost all the sheets has lovely stripes and patterns, in all these fun colors! I actually think something might be wrong with me, because my current favorite new In Color is Magenta Madness, lol. I let the paper do the talking for this one, and added a little Silver Cording Trim for some extra sparkle. Yum! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for us this week - what will YOU create?? Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set; Flowers For Every Season DSP; Whisper White, Magenta Madness & Basic Black CS; Versamark Ink; Shimmer White EP; Silver Cording Trim; #FabFri191.

I'm loving the purples and blues in this week's color challenge from Inspire Create Challenge #070! So, I have been seeing some, ahem, challenging, shall we say, color combos this week! And I have been seeing some AMAZING responses to them! The ones that astonish me the most are those that know how to just stamp what they want in any crazy old colors they please, and the surprise of it never fails to shine! So, darn it, MY turn! My Tropical Chic set is another set I wanted to highlight before it retired - I didn't quite make it in time, but LOOK how fun the crazy colored tropical leaves are! This is actually almost elegant, lol. I will miss this set more than I thought! Tropical Chic Stamp Set (retired by now, lol); Whisper White CS; Rich Razzleberry, Coastal Cabana & Night of Navy Inks; Tropical & Stitched So Sweetly Dies; Frosted Epoxy Droplets; #ICC070.

There is some lovely floral inspiration going on at Hand Stamped Sentiments #340 this week! Gorgeous! I looked at the flowers very carefully, and decided that I was seeing lots of pretty peonies, lol, and the only peony I have is this beauty from 2018's You've Got This. It's been an age since I've stamped with it - I even forgot about this lovely background filler that came with it! I decided to go a little one layer, and fussy cut a mask for the peony, so I could stamp off the background around it for some color and texture. I did some aquapinting in the colors from our inspiration pic. I couldn't resist popping up the sentiment, though, lol. Still, such a sweet card - love it! You've Got This Stamp Set (retired 2018); Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Pear Pizzazz, So Saffron, Calypso Coral, Mango Melody & Blushing Bride Inks; Aquapainter; Smooth Sailing Dies; #HSS340. Think of something sweet! At least, that's our theme this week to go with our sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #460! I spent a little time wishing REAL HARD I already had the Nothing's Better Than suite from our new catty (ordering it tomorrow!!) before going with our still-delicious Cool Treats set, lol. And really, how appropriate is ice cream in this weather?? We're steady over 100 these days here in Arizona, but popsicles make it all OK! Even though I also still have the dies for this set, I went ahead and fussy cut my treats, so they'd be a tad bigger - more ice cream is always in order! So, what will YOU create? I'll be looking for your treats over at the challenge! Cool Treats Stamp Set (retired 2018); Tasty Treats DSP; Whisper White, Pool Party, Crumb Cake & Early Espresso CS; Pool Party, Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Pear Pizzazz & Peekaboo Peach (retired); Inks; #TSOT460. Woo hoo! Now that's the first of June, it's time for our next challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenge #113 - bells! I have to admit, this one was actually hard for me - I had to BORROW a stamp set (thanks, Sarah!) to get 'er done, lol. I seriously have NO bells in my collections, at least, none that lent themselves to a pretty Christmas card, for sure! I'm not sure why I never went for this set from 2016 - I bet there was just too much other stuff on my list that year and I ran out of time. But it's sure nice to get to use it now, and it looks wonderful with our vintage-y Toile Tidings DSP! I can't wait to see YOUR cards ring their way to us - see you at the challenge! Seasonal Bells Stamp Set (retired 2017); Toile Tidings DSP; Very Vanilla & Cherry Cobbler CS; Cherry Cobbler Ink; Bell Punch (retired); Bunch of Banners Dies (retired); Diagonal Stripe Ribbon in Cherry Cobbler; #SCC113. |
