Birthday Lion

Well, these safari animals make the cutest cupcakes, don't they?  Such a playful inspiration this round at Cupcake Inspirations #553!
I'm on a retiree roll this week, because the first set I thought of was our Bonanza Buddies from 2020, lol.  This is still my favorite lion!  I had forgotten about so many of the extras in this set - like the fun packages and bows, and the awesome tag die in the Bonanza Dies set!  Just too cute!  I even found some old SAB twine that I think came out at the same time as this bundle, lol.  I'm pretty sure I have some DSP somewhere, too, lol.

OK, how perfect is this week's code word at Addicted to CAS #229??  Let's CRAFT!
I knew I would go straight back to my old It Starts With Art set from 2020 - so many crafty elements in that one!  I went for the little stack of ribbon spools - mine might be a little bit out of control, lol.  I chose this bold stripey DSP from our giant Design a Daydream pack, and took my colors from there!  I even found a truly ancient spool of Daffodil Delight Grosgrain - I still have about 6 of these in various colors, left!  And I knew I'd be using this crafty sentiment, too - the theme of many a stampin' retreat!
It Starts With Art Stamp Set (retired 2020); Design a Daydream DSP; Basic White & Blackberry Bliss CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Blackberry Bliss Inks; Crumb Cake, Petal Pink, Old Olive & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Arts & Crafts Dies (retired); For Everything Fancy Pink Sequins; #ATC229.

Wow, I can finally JUST make it to play at CAS on Friday #240 this round - for a Christmas theme!
I decided to do one of our new snowmen - I just couldn't resist this year - he (or she!) has SO many accessories and elements to play with!  I tried to keep it pretty simple for the CAS brief - this simple sentiment under a one-layer snow-dude.  In the end, the hat and scarf looked better diecut, so I went with that.  I finished with three tiny snowflake sequins - these have lasted me for so long!

Nautical in Navy

We have some great spots at our tic-tac-toe challenge this round at Retro Rubber #192!  I get to make it monochrome for our challenge this week at SU Only #311, too!
After much dithering, I finally settled on the diagonal of Nautical-pattern paper-blue - that bolsters my monochrome goals pretty handily!  I went back to our gorgeous Sailing Home set - even though it only retired earlier this year, it was first released in 2019!  And still gorgeous.  I pulled this scrap of stripey DSP from the Sun Prints pack, and stuck to Night of Navy for all my details!  I also love to use the blender pen on the images in this set - gives them so much pop!
I can't wait to see YOUR creations for our challenges this round - meet you there!

Fusion Porch

There's a super fun combo at this week's Fusion Front Porch challenge - great sketch AND inspo pic!
I had to think for a bit to decide on a direction - I think I must have sold my retired "bench" set - drat!  In the end I went with this little scene using Plentiful Plants - still love this one - and added some brick texture.  I had the impression of pale blues and greens, so I went with that for my colors, too.  I'm so pleased with how it came out - I have a tough time playing both sides at Fusion most of the time, lol.

Woo Hoo to Another Year

I laughed out loud when I saw the them for Shopping Our Stash #479 - "Hey, (h)Ombre!"
I seem to recall picking up a pack of our 6" x 6" Ombre Glimmer Paper in our latest In Colors - is that still around?  After a quick search, I found it, and I've never even opened it!  {BLUSH}  Good thing I have SOS cheering me on, lol.  With all that pretty glimmer, THIS goofy card is what I hit on, lol.  I still laugh every time I see the big "woo hoo" on our now-retired Amazing Phrasing SAB set, so I pulled that, too, and got to work.  I started with a little strip on one edge, and then worked the woo-hoo all the way up the card.  I stamped off super quick to do my two center ones, then longer to get the lightest ones on top.  I even had ombre Matte Dots, lol.  Goofy, I tell you!

Friendship Monday

So perfect, Make My Monday #183 is celebrating friendship this round - what a great cue!
I started out by hunting down a good "friendship" sentiment, which I of course found in the Beauty of Friendship set, lol.  Sometimes I miss the obvious, lol.  Anyway, I played with the dies more for this one than I have before, and I love them!  I kept things pretty simple, just a tree and a phrase, but I did dress up my leaf canopy with Blender Brush to make it softer than a colored cardstock.  And then I realized that the die for these cute birds was the perfect touch for a friendship theme!  I'm really pleased with how this all came out!

Such a fun bold sketch we have this round at As You See It #284!
Believe it or not, today I started with the sentiment!  I went looking for something long enough for that cross-piece, and large enough to read well.  I quickly hit on my fave from the Begin With a Dream set - but I wanted something a little different for the image.  I went with these fun colorful stripes for my background, and thought, do I have a funny critter with a big dream?  Why yes I do!  I couldn't resist this frog on a unicycle once I spotted it, and I love that I have dies for it, too!  This card SO makes me smile, lol.
I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our layout this round - meet you there!

Oo, a great theme at this month's CAS Christmas - "sparkle and shine!"
I really wanted to try out more of the fun dies in Decorated With Happiness, so I got busy with this set!  The stamped branch also has its own die, and I got to try the scribble stamp for coloring, too - I did mine in stamped off Shaded Spruce over Early Espresso.  All that Spruce needed a pop of Cherry Cobbler, too, lol, and I finished with lots of shiny silver stars - three sizes in multiple dies!  So convenient when you have to cut a bunch!  This ended up being quick and fun!

I love the little twist The Flower Challenge #72 is adding this round - "add sparkle!"  This blog is SO rehabbing my flower-phobia!
For today's card, I chose Sending Smiles - I just love these stems and blossoms!  The dies make it so easy to cut out all the pieces, or, you can just build it by stamping it all together - photopolymer makes for SUCH easy placement.  It's funny, I don't often use the big "sending" sentiment that goes with all these cute phrases - it's so big, by the time I'm placing my flowers, I've run out of room, lol.  Stamp-World problems, I know, lol.
