Oh gosh, there's 5the cutest inspiration pic for this week's Cupcake Inspiration #520's Father's Day theme! Love that 'stache! Now, it just so happens that my Da has a mustache like this, and so even though we're not supposed to take our inspiration cupcake TOO seriously, I couldn't resist bringing on the handlebars, lol. I still have my old Mustache die from 2014, and I combined it with the strongman from Guy Greetings (2018!) for my envelope, along with this cute sentiment from the current Ride the Range set - seemed apropos! I went ahead and put a Father's Day greeting inside from Guy Greetings while I had it out, too. Can't wait to send this one to Da! Ride the Range & Guy Greetings (retired 2018) Stamp Sets; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Mustache Die (retired 2014); Black Sequins; #CI520.

So fun when we get to play our favorites, like in this week's "lucky dip" Less Is More #444 - pick your favorite technique! Even more lucky for me, I JUST received a box of new goodies to play with - a perfect combo! I decided to start with this super cute little rolling suitcase from Sweet Farewell, to show off my fave technique of COLORING - any way, any medium, lol. My very most fave way is with our Blends Markers, as I did today. I did add a layer today, of white on white, so my coloring wouldn't bleed through the card base. And I know it's a LIM no-no, lol, but I couldn't resist some sparkly Glitter Enamel Dots, to go with that snazzy Granny Apple Green suitcase. While it's not really a technique, I think little triples of embellies might be the secret love of my heart, lol.

I'm loving our mix it up this week at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #510 - especially the sketch! It'll go great with our "markers" challenge at SU Only #277, too! With a marker challenge in the offing, I knew it would be all about the color today for me, lol, so I went digging for some of my fave retired sheets, to celebrate a sunny, happy day! That's right, it doesn't get much happier than Gingham Gala, lol. I found this pretty bundle of stems in our Dragonfly Garden stamp set - perfect for some coloring! I'm really pleased with the freshness and cheer here today! So, how will YOU meet the challenges this week? I can't wait to see your projects - meet you at the challenges!

Time for another recipe challenge from this week's As You See It #251! These are so fun! So, it was a bit of a crush getting it all on there, but I think I made it! Starting with "birthday" and "patterned paper," I KNEW I had to use the Sweet Ice Cream suite, lol. I somehow focused on a popsicle, which I fussy cut, and realized at the last second that technically, I hadn't used a die - oops! So out came my trusty Happy Birthday die for my sentiment, and I even squeezed in some ribbon of the popsicle stick, lol. Thank goodness for the gold heat embossed speckles on the pop - that pushed me over the finish line!

Dang, this week's In{k}spire Me #450 has a great combo for their big number! Wowza! I really wanted to try for both sides of the challenge today, so I started by going hunting for some small little somethings I could use for that grid layout. Hey, how about Friends Are Like Seashells?? Perfect! And I fell like you could use the colors, too, depending on what ocean you're hunting in, lol. Very fun, and surprisingly quick with the dies!

Looks like Fusion has a playful combo for us this week, between this fun sketch and the "laugh decor" in the pic! After a little digging, I decided to just play on the sketch side - because I really wanted to roll out a new stamp set! Today I'm excited to get inky with What's Cookin'! So cute! This set has lots of little kitchen elements in it, for stirring, chopping, rolling and grinding, lol. The dies are amazing, too, and include a few extras, like this little bread board. I'm such a sucker for kitchen gadgets! Anyway, I mixed up a couple different packs of DSP for this one - and I'm still over the moon about the robust Pattern Party pack - so worth it!

Hope you can get in on some "square" action with us at this week's Fab Friday #215! Normally, I'm a real dud when it comes to odd-shaped cards, even square ones, lol. I'll usually just make tiny ones, like 4 1/4" square, so they'll still fit in a regular card envelope. But I was doing some stash-diving last week and came across a little stack of 6 1/2" square envelopes - no clue where these came from! That said, I decided to go for some bigger real estate today, and managed a full 6" x 6" card, made possible by also finding some old 12" x 12" CS hiding back there, too! When I spotted this perfect Dad sentiment in Best Year, I knew I wanted to try it with my Welcoming Window, which I thought would complement the square shape. Love it! Can't wait to see YOUR projects this week - be there or be square! Wait, be square either way!

The Sisterhood of Crafters has a "flowers as the focus" theme this week - what a great idea! I totally knew I was going to go back to my gorgeous new Pansy Patch set, and THIS time, I get to play with the DSP - Pansy Petals! The pack has a few sheets with tons of ready made and colored images to choose from, that work perfectly with the amazing die set that comes with the bundle. These sheets are also perfect inspiration for ink combos to try when we want to play more with the stamps - so many yummy and unexpected pairings! I picked out a few of my faves for today's pansy-forward card, and just had to add one of our beautiful gold Bumblebee Trinkets to go with. The perfect finishing touch! Pansy Patch Stamp Set; Pansy Petals DSP; Basic White & Evening Evergreen CS; Evening Evergreen Ink; Pansy & Stitched Shapes (retired) Dies; Bumblebee Trinkets; #TSOCFlowerFocus. Awesome! You KNOW my fave challenge at Retro Rubber #159 is for "anything goes" - let's dive DEEP! Today I'm going WAY BACK, to the alphabet that started it all for me, lol, Defining Alphabet from 2007, along with its partner, Define Your Life. This duo was the start of a long and ongoing love affair with alphabets of all kinds for me, lol, I have no idea why I'm so addicted to them, and why I can never let them go! Large and small, I keep them all! I loved that this one came with some accompanying "definitions," that all have so much meaning for me. What a pleasure to trot them out again! This set also goes great with the more recent Praiseworthy Prose set from last year, another match made in heaven! Defining Alphabet & Define Your Life Stamp Sets (retired 2007); Pattern Party DSP; Basic White & Basic Black CS; Poppy Parade & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Tailor Made Tags Dies; Poppy Parade Heavy Baker's Twine; Silver Epoxy Essentials; #RRCB159. Ooo! This month's Sparkles Christmas Challenge #125 - "get krafty" - falls on a Tuesday! So I get to combine it with our awesome sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #509! In Stampin' Up!'s world, "kraft" is called Crumb Cake now - I still remember when we made that name change - I almost had a heart attack thinking I'd lost my favorite neutral, lol - I think that was my first major color renovation! Anyway, Crumb Cake is still here, thank goodness, and look how lovely it is against these rich Christmas colors! The perfect sketch for a little poinsettia action! I can't wait to see YOUR projects, too - meet you at the challenges! Poinsettia Petals Stamp Set; Classic Christmas DSP; Crumb Cake & Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler & Mango Melody Blends Markers; Poinsettia Dies; Gold Glitter Enamel Dots; #SCC125; #TSOT509. |
