I'm going for the triple whammy this week! We want to see your Halloween projects at SU Only #312, we have a convenient "Anything Goes" round going at Retro Rubber #193, and I get to use our sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #577 to pull it all together! I'm actually super excited that I thought of a great retired set for all these challenges, and that I haven't used in forever - Making Spirits Bright from 2014! I'm not totally sure that I've EVER used the gory Halloween martini in this one before, maybe only once? The image and the sentiment are actually on a single stamp, so I used some strategic masking to break it up for the sketch. I'm so tickled with the result! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for all these challenges this round - so many ways to go! Meet you there! Making Spirits Bright Stamp Set (retired 2014); Plaid Tidings DSP (retired); Basic White, Basic Black & Pumpkin Pie CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Pool Party, Pumpkin Pie & Parakeet Party Blends Markers; Stylish Shapes; Banner Triple Punch (retired); Matte Black Dots; #SUOC312; #RRCB193; #TSOT577.

Whew! I can JUST squeak in to Festive Friday #119's celebration of Farmer's Day! What an inspo list! It took me a minute to realize - what a perfect theme for my beloved Best of Cluck set from 2006! There's even some thank you chicks, lol. SO, I was able to squeeze in farm animals, gingham, die cut, kraft and thank you! I love how bright and cheery it all came out! I went back to my hoarded pack of Gingham Gala DSP and floated a Daffodil sheet of that over Crumb Cake. I cut out my cute little chickies with an oval die, colored in with my Blends, and finished with some Glossy Dots. Quick and fresh!

Such gorgeous colors Fusion has for us at their "autumn leaves" challenge! That said, I didn't actually stick to those colors - I ended up going a little brighter, lol. This leafy sheet from our Celebrate Everything was just too tempting! From there, I stamped a few leaves from my old Vintage Leaves set from 2018 in matching colors, then finished with this sentiment from Celebrate Sunflowers. Before I glued everything down, I remembered to emboss my background with our Leaf Fall folder, too - I keep forgetting to pull that out!

Shopping Our Stash #480 is running a "leaf me alone" challenge this round - so cute! I've been really wanting to try Forever Fern in Fall colors for a while now - today is the day! I stamped three different stems in Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Crushed Curry. I tried to make them all radiate from a focal point, where I popped up my sentiment in Espresso. I thought some gold accents would go well, too, so I tousled some Metallic Gold Thread behind that as well, and added a few Brushed Gold Dots. I still needed a little something, so I threw on three tiny springs I cut with the matching dies, too. Time to stop! Forever Fern Stamp Set; Basic White & Cajun Craze CS; Early Espresso, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie & Crushed Curry Inks; Forever Flourishing & Stylish Shapes Dies; Metallic Gold Thread; Brushed Gold Dots; #SOS480.

I decided to go back to 2018's Sweet Home bundle to pull this one off! I had a good time building my haunted home in all our colors, lol. I was even able to use one of our tiny Matte Dots for the door knob! The Starry Sky bats almost broke me, but I pushed through it, lol. All oldies here, in new colors! So fun! I can't wait to see what YOU come up with for these crazy colors - meet you there!

Ahh, Make My Monday #184 has a sweet "Autumn Flora or Fauna" challenge this round - love it! I'm getting in a little bit of both those ideas with Nuts About Squirrels! I love stamping these guys, such fun two-steps, and I love any excuse to play with the sweet leaf arrangement, too, lol. I also realized it tied in pretty well with this sheet from our Rings of Love DSP from SAB - anyone else still have a pack or seven?? Too bad I didn't use more of it here, I suppose, lol. Still, it goes great with my hard-working guy! Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set; Rings of Love DSP (retired); Basic White & Crushed Curry CS; Early Espresso, Crumb Cake, Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie & Poppy Parade Inks; Rustic Metallic Dots; #MMM184. Oo, VERY fun combo at this week's In{k}spire Me #487 - woot! These colors immediately spelled Christmas to me, lol, and when I spotted this scrap of Painted Christmas DSP that had TWO colors on it, I knew what suite I'd use, too! I decided to stamp my own background, in holly to go with the sentiment I chose (right size and shape!) I finished things off with some Brushed Gold Dots for some points of light. I so wish we had Merry Merlot out and about more, it's such a natural for the holidays! Christmas to Remember & Christmas Season Stamp Sets; Painted Christmas DSP; Very Vanilla & Merry Merlot CS; Old Olive, Merry Merlot & Crumb Cake Inks; Seasonal Labels Dies; Brushed Gold Dots; #IMC487. I so love our fun colors this round at Hand Stamped Sentiments #399! They're going to look great with our sketch at Try Stampin' on Tuesday #576, too! I had to really think through this one - that sketch is a little complicated! I finally settled on my beloved Art Gallery set to carry the colors, and experimented with a combo that would highlight them all! I started with a Pool Party base, then a stamped off detail layer in Starry Sky, and finished with Pumpkin Pie for the center - I really like this look! After that, I just needed to figure out how to work in the layout - almost a stumper! I can't wait to see YOUR projects for our challenges this round - bring them on! Art Gallery Stamp Set; Pool Party & Starry Sky DSP; Basic White & Starry Sky CS; Pool Party, Starry Sky & Pumpkin Pie Inks; Timeworn Type EF; Floral Gallery Dies; Pumpkin Pie Sequins For Everything; #HSS399; #TSOT576. Oo, it's beginning to look like a swanky Christmas at this round's Time Out Challenge #223! I really wanted a nice big tree for my focal image for this one! Surprisingly, the largest one I had was from 2019's Ready for Christmas, so that's what came out for this card! I stamped my tree in our gorgeous Shaded Spruce, and then went with Smoky Slate and Iridescent details - such a great combination! I even mixed embellies for this one - our newest Adhesive-Backed Stars and some Opal Rounds! Love it! Ready for Christmas Stamp Set (retired 2019); Basic White & Shaded Spruce CS; Shaded Spruce, Smoky Slate & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Smoky Slate & Pool Party Blends Markers; Christmas Staircase Dies; Adhesive Backed Stars; Opal Rounds; #TOC223. Beautiful! We have some warm and fuzzy Fall colors for you this round at Sunday Stamps #293! I actually didn't get any of the current Fall pumpkins set this year, lol (shhhHHH!!) So I went back to my Pretty Pumpkins set from 2021. This trio seemed like the perfect way to show off our colors! I wanted to add some pop after I got all my elements done, so I slipped some Stylish circles behind each one - I love the look! I can't wait to see YOUR creations with our palette this round - meet you there! Pretty Pumpkins Stamp Set (retired 2021); Basic White, Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Balmy Blue & Smoky Slate CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Soft Suede Inks; Soft Suede, Pumpkin Pie, Smoky Slate & Balmy Blue Blends Markers; Detailed Pumpkins (retired & Stylish Shapes Dies; Rustic Metallic Dots; #SSC293. |
