Fusion Ornaments

Fusion Card Challenge has a lovely challenge for us this week - "red Christmas" along with a super cute sketch!
The one stamp I haven't used much this year is the lovely background stamp Merry Medley, so I hit on floating some pretty ornaments over it for the sketch elements.  I also decided to pull out a few "reds" and see what happened.  I love it!  I had to matte my little ornaments, but everyone got a different color combo - sa-WEET!  Fusion accomplished!

Santa's Laundry Day

We have a beautiful sketch from Paper Players #372 today!  I think I'll work in What Will You Stamp #144's Santa's Suit challenge, too!
One of the MANY things I love about this stamp set is how much it reminds me of one of my favorite Christmas ornaments - a surfing Santa we brought back one year from Hawaii!  NOW I know what happened to his suit while he was carving it up!!  Lol...  I still just have a blast stamping, cutting and arranging all my Santa pieces - like a Santa paper doll!  Enjoy!
Santa's Suit Stamp Set; Quilted Christmas DSP; Whisper White & Lemon Lime Twist CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Real Red & Crumb Cake Inks; Layering Ovals, Layering Circles & Santa Builder Framelits; Real Red 1/8" Taffeta Ribbon; Red Sequins; #PP372; #WWYS144.

Beautiful Peacock

Another wonderful sketch from Try Stampin' on Tuesday #349 -  I'm also adding in TGIF #135's ombre challenge - always a challenge for me, lol...
So, I decided to cheat just a little, and use one of my ombre sheets from the wonderful Color Theory DSP - in the beautiful Berry Burst!  Looking at that color, I was inspired to use another preview set - this one from the 2018 Sale-A-Bration collection - Beautiful Peacock.  This is another sweet sweet set, with separate pieces for feathers, tail and body, so you can add as much or as little color detail as you like - brilliant!  I had some fun today playing with the swooshy feathers today, and two-tone inking techniques.  I added colors directly to the inked up stamp with a sponge dauber today...
Beautiful Peacock Stamp Set (2018 SAB); Color Theory DSP; Whisper White & Basic Black CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Berry Burst, Lemon Lime Twist & Old Olive Inks; Layering Ovals Framelits; Glittered Enamel Dots in Berry Burst; #TSOT349; #TGIF135.

'Stache-ing' Through the Snow

Hooray!  This week's SU Only #188's theme is Winter Holidays - time to celebrate the most wonderful time of year!  I think I'll combine with this lovely sketch from Match the Sketch #204!
I have to say, it's such a curious thing to have my retired sets on hand in the stampin' studio!  I try not to go to those shelves too much, but when I was browsing for yesterday's card, I couldn't help but pull a couple likely sets that were still sitting on my desk today, ahem.  Who can resist our 'stache-y" Santa, especially now we have Stampin' Blends back in our rep??  Not me!!  So fresh and fun over this quilt pattern, this card definitely brings a smile to my face!
Santa 'Stache Stamp Set (2014-retired); Quilted Christmas DSP; Whisper White & Pool Party CS; Memento Tuxedo Black Ink; Cherry Cobbler, Ivory & Smoky Slate Blends; Silver Foil Snowflake; Basic Jewel Rhinestones; #SUO188; #MTS204.

Cardinal Joy

Now, I don't usually do "anything goes" challenges - guess I like some direction, lol.  But I have so much fun with this challenge, I decided to give Retro Rubber #76 a go this week!  Time to dig deep!  I'll use Freshly Made Sketch #314 to help me along!
Now that we're through Thanksgiving, I can't help but have Christmas on the mind!  As I went digging, I came across this little "Beauty of the Season," that reminds me of winters back in Virginia - there's nothing like a bold cardinal boy against the snow!  I pulled in one of my fave sentiments from Tin of Tags to go with - let's all dream, friends, of walkin' in a winter wonderland!
Beauty of the Season (2014) & Tin of Tags (2016) Stamp Sets (both retired); Quilted Christmas DSP; Whisper White, Crumb Cake & Cherry Cobbler; Champagne Glimmer Paper; Memento Tuxedo Black & Cherry Cobbler Inks; Cherry Cobbler, Crumb Cake & Daffodil Delight Blends; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Woodland EF; Gold Sequins; #RR76; #FMS314.

We have a totally cool sketch from Global Design Project #114 today!  I think I'll have some fun combining it with Stamp Ink Paper #126's grateful-thankful-blessed challenge, and Color Throwdown #470, too!
OK, I couldn't stop myself, I ended up back at Colorful Seasons for my leaf - I just love that one!  I wish we had an outline stamp for the smaller one, too, or I'd be using that too much, too, lol.  I stayed pretty on sketch today, though my proportions are a little off - I was so stoked when I remembered this sentiment from Paisleys & Posies, too!  Tis the season of blessings, always...
Colorful Seasons and Paisleys & Posies Stamps Sets; Very Vanilla & Chocolate Chip CS; Chocolate Chip, Real Red, Pumpkin Pie & Daffodil Delight Inks; Stitched Shapes Framelits; Vanilla Copper Baker's Twine (from Layered Leaves Paper Pumpkin!); #GDP114; #SIP126; #CTD470.

Today's awesome sketch is from Sunday Stamps #166!  I'm excited to add in Merry Monday #266's Santa Claus challenge, too!
You know what, I could get used to seeing Santa "en deshabille" this way, lol, and I'm reminded that I have a Union Suit just like this one!!  I think I need to break that baby out!  Can you just see him running around because he forgot it was laundry day??  I totally can!

Love our colors this week at Fab Friday #126 - Real red, lemon lime twist, emerald envy!  I think I'll try these with What Will You Stamp #143's Text Ya' Later challenge!
I have so much fun with this set, but truthfully, I can't seem to stay away from the "crappiest birthday" exchange - I just find it so funny!  I have gotten some doozy auto-corrects on my own phone, believe me, so I crack up every time I see this one, lol.  I had a fun time fussy cutting all my word balloons, and I snuck in another preview product for my background:  the Scattered Sequins Dynamic Embossing Folder!  Love it!  I have some belated birthday wishes on the inside, too...
I can't wait to see what YOU were inspired to at this week's challenge - see you there!
Text Ya Later Stamp Set; Lemon Lime Twist, Real Red & Whisper White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Emerald Envy, Lemon Lime Twist & Real Red Inks; Scattered Sequins DEF (Occasions 2018); Real Red Solid Baker's Twine; #FabFri126; #WWYS143.

Woo hoo!  A beautiful banner sketch this week from As You See It #163!
I'm so excited - I could totally see a way to work in another preview set!  This one is called Bubble Over, and it's so fun, little bottles and labels for sodas, brewskis, whatever!  There's framelits (yes, there IS a bundle!) AND a coordinating Sale-A-Bration DSP!  Cue the heavenly choir, lol...  I had a great time putting together these bright bottles, and choosing my little flags to go with - I think I'm feeling the bubbles, lol!

Super fun "banner" sketch from Case This Sketch #248!  I totally think I can make something yummy using these festive colors from In{k}spire Me #326, too!  I have an idea for using Paper Players #371's "warm and cozy" theme, too!
OK, it's true - I just love making up mitten sets with Smitten Mittens this year!  They're just so perfect, and the framelit set that goes with is pretty much everything I could have asked for, lol.  I strayed out the sketch lines, but I so wanted to use these big mittens!  Bring on the hot chocolate!
Smitten Mittens Stamp Set; Whisper White, Real Red, Smoky Slate & Silver Foil CS; Real Red Ink; Cable Knit DEF; Many Mittens Framelits; #CTS248; #IM326; #PP371.
