 Time for another one-layer card for Less Is More #467 - and we have to stick to just one image this round, too! This was a tough one for me today. I have been seeing some fanTABulous one-layer cards out there recently, and I clearly have a LOT of room to up my game, lol. WOW! Today, though, I kept it so minimalist, I feel a little conflicted about it, lol. There's barely even any color on there, either! Anyway, the yeti waited as long as he's going to, lol, he wanted to make his debut! I can't wait to show his Christmas parties, too, lol. Yeti to Party Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Coastal Cabana Inks; Water Painter; Basic Black * Coastal Cabana Stamp-n-Write Markers; #LIM467.

 Ooo, wow! I LOVE In{k}spire Me #480's colors this week - Crumb Cake with any blue is so gorgeous! All these blues made me think of my new A Fish & A Wish set - I actually got this set to pair with scripture sayings, but for my first take, I'll bring in the "sea of thanks" sentiment from the set. I LOVE the organic style of the images and fonts here - can't you just see schools of little fishy flickering all over?? So many fun elements, and the builder punch for two of the fish works a treat! I see many underwater scenes ahead, lol... A Fish & A Wish Stamp Set; Basic White, Basic Black, Pool Party, Crumb Cake & Bermuda Bay CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Crumb Cake, Bermuda Bay & Pool Party Inks; Fish Builder Punch; Stylish Shapes Dies; Pearl Basic Jewels; White Baker's Twine; #IMC480.   Such a bubbly sketch we have for you this week at Hand Stamped Sentiments #392! I finally broke out a special set that I've been sitting on - the luscious Splendid Thoughts suite. We were given a pre-pre-order opportunity to get this one even EARLIER than our usual demo perk, because it was featured in a wonderful demonstrator-only "Creativity Now" online event - so much fun! I've been hoarding it all for that day, and now I get to cut loose, lol. I combined it with the coordinating Cards & Envelopes pack about to be available in SAB, and broke out my new Stylish Shapes Dies - so much yum today! I hope you'll play along with us this week for the sketch - see you at the challenge! Splendid Thoughts Stamp Set; Splendid Day DSP; Pool Party & Soft Sea Foam Cards & Envelopes (SAB); Fresh Freesia & Basic White CS; Blackberry Bliss Ink; Splendid Stems & Stylish Shapes Dies; Open Leaf Trinkets; White Baker's Twine; Fresh Freesia Jewels; #HSS392.   So excited about Time Out Challenge #216's "tropical" theme this week! You know I had to pull out Paradise Palms for this one, lol - those palm trees are just too enticing! I chose "tropical" colors for my layers too - Bermuda Bay and Sahara Sand! I think that's pretty beachy, lol. I did a few dunes and scrub grass, built my two trees, and finished with my paradise sentiment. Turns out that this pretty oval from the All That dies is the perfect fit! Imagine you're hearing seagulls, too, lol... Paradise Palms Stamp Set; Basic White, Bermuda Bay & Sahara Sand CS; Sahara Sand, Soft Suede, Granny Apple Green & Mango Melody Inks; Palms & All That Dies; Glossy Dots; #TOC216.   Such a great banded sketch we have this week for you at Sunday Stamps #286! After considering my favorite two words for a while (that would be "any shape," as readers know, lol) I decided to bust out my new Sweetest Cherries set. So fun! There's a builder punch for this one, too, so I went all out and made a couple cherries to punch for my any shape. I thought about making some different colors, but in the end, Poppy Parade was just too right for this one! I hope you'll come join in the fun over at the challenge - see you there! Sweetest Cherries Stamp Set; Basic White & Poppy Parade CS; Poppy Parade & Granny Apple Green Inks; Cherry Builder Punch; Poppy Parade Baker's Twine; For Everything Sequins in Granny Apple Green; #SSC286.   Very nice - Cardz 4 Guyz #298 has a Father's Day challenge for us this week - good timing! Today is the day I get to break in the new Brewed For You stamp set - I got this bundle from my downline Barb, who accidentally ordered more than one - I have SO been there! Turns out, this is a really fun set - wait'll you see the dies! (Next time!) For today, I did a stamped background using the pub glasses - I added some foam to each, plus the beer, of course, lol. I finished with a detail strip of the He's the Man DSP and this sentiment from our departing Happy & Heartfelt set. I love it when it all comes together! Brewed For You & Happy & Heartfelt Stamp Sets; He's the man DSP; Sahara Sand, Crushed Curry & Basic White CS; Early Espresso & Crushed Curry Inks; Ornate Frames Dies (retired); Rustic Metallic Dots; #C4G298.   Oooo! We have some lovely purples and pinks to play with this week at Cupcake Inspirations #546 - I think I can JUST make it! Looking over these girly colors, I knew I had to break in my Hippest Hippos set, an upcoming Sale-A-Bration set coming July 1! It even has dies to go with, with a few cute extras, as you can see, lol. I have to be honest, every single element of this card I ended up doing two or three times - girlie pastels are SO not my wheelhouse! I'm so glad I finally made it to something I'm actually happy with in the end - I think I need to clear my palette with a manly hippo card next, lol. Hippest Hippos Stamp Set; Polished Pink DSP; Basic White, Fresh Freesia & Black Berry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Fresh Freesia & Polished Pink Blends Markers; Hippo, Layering Circles & Layering Diorama Dies; Polish Pink Jewels; #CIC546.

I loved these retro swimsuits as soon as I saw them, I think they have so many fun possibilities! I had to keep things as CAS as possible today, and I really tried, but a few extras slipped in somehow, lol. And just a tiny bit of fussy cutting. I featured our new Sweet Sorbet In Color, and had to finish with a Baker's Twine bow and some Matte Dots - yum!

Ah, how appropriate - The Flower Challenge #69 would like us to use blue and yellow on our cards this month, in ongoing support of Ukraine! I haven't yet specifically done a color challenge for this, so it's good to contribute. I envisioned FIELDS of flowers today, all for Ukraine, and our retiring Tulip Fields set was just right for it! I went with Pacific Point and Daffodil Delight for my colors. I slipped in a little windmill, and the sentiment was all too appropriate for the occasion. I even found a few Pacific Point sequins to pop against the yellow! My prayers are with them, daily. Tulip Fields & Flowering Tulips Stamp Sets; Basic White, Basic Gray & Pacific Point CS; Pacific Point & Daffodil Delight Inks; Blender Pen; Windmill Fields & Ornate Frames (retired) Dies; Pacific Point Sequins; #TFC69.

We're all about the "mod circles" this week at Retro Rubber #185! Hopefully I can make it tropical for SU Only #304, too! Hm, this was trickier than I thought it would be! I finally settled on creating my "circle" background with Swirly Bird from 2019 - I'm liking the effect! I went with Tahitian Tide and Parakeet Party, my two most tropical colors, lol. I then picked a pineapple for my big tropical feature - we have a dandy one in our old Timeless Tropical bundle, and I pulled the sentiment from there as well. Whew! I was able to squeeze on my very last two Tropical Oasis Trinkets, too - too mish-mosh?? It's working for me! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges, too - meet you there! Swirly Bird (retired 2019) & Timeless Tropical (retired 2022) Stamp Sets; Basic White, Tahitian Tide, Daffodil Delight, Crushed Curry & Parakeet Party CS; Parakeet Party, Tahitian Tide & Soft Suede Inks; In the Tropics (retired) & Deckled Rectangles Dies; Tropical Oasis Trinkets (retired); #RRCB185; #SUOC304.
