 So excited to see a fun folds challenge at this round of The Male Room #199! I decided today to try out an idea I had for one of Online Exclusive preview sets: Long Time No See! The set has a little dachshund, AND a llama, along with a striped insert to use as an even longer neck or dog body, lol. How could I resist?? I tried out the dog first, and made this funky double-z fold! I had to get a little creative on the second "Z" so I could make the dog line up pretty good even when flat, lol. What a riot! Can't wait to try the llama! Long Time No See Stamp Set; Full of Life DSP; Basic White & Blueberry Bushel CS; Memento Tuxedo Black & Blueberry Bushel Inks; Pecan Pie, Blueberry Bushel, Granny Apple Green & Daffodil Delight Blends Markers; Blueberry Bushel Tinsel Gems; #TMR199.   Paper Pumpkin Club on June 28 CANCELLED!
It turns out that the weekend we would normally have Pumpkin Club is the same weekend we're headed back to Kanosh Labs to pick up our second puppy, River! We're all super excited, especially Ada, lol. We'll meet again for NEXT month's Pumpkin Club, Sweeter With You, while we get River settled in to our family! In the meantime, make sure to check out the video for the current kit, Full of Charm!

 Time for some tics and tacs at this round of Retro Rubber #257! So many fun choices on this board - I decided to go low, lol, and took the bottom row of Spritzing - Watercolor - Die Cut! Browsing through my shelves of retirement, I came across Beautiful Thistle from 2023 - I still love this set! It's perfect because it has dies, and a big thistle image just begging to be colored! I started by setting up my embossed background for texture, and then did some spritzing with my Highland Heather Stamp-n-Write marker and my REALLY old spritzing tool for brush tip pens - ah, those were the days! Such a fine spatter it makes - I should keep this tool out on my desk for a while, I think... Next up was stamping my image, and water-painting it in Highland Heather and Mossy Meadow, a perfect combo. Some twine and gems and I was all set! I can't wait to see YOUR choices for this one! See you at the challenge, and don't forget to make it RETRO! Beautiful Thistle Stamp Set & Dies (retired 2023); Basic White & Highland Heather CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Highland Heather & Mossy Meadow Inks; Water Painter Brush; Highland Heather Stamp-n-Write Marker; Spritzer Tool; Tasteful Labels Dies (retired); Exposed Brick 3D EF; UKI Violet 5/2 Perle Cotton; Purple Fine Shimmer Gems; #RRCB257.   Let's see your wings in this round's theme of butterflies at Make My Monday #254! I went back and pulled my still-beloved Watercolor Wings set from 2018 - I love how we can layer the butterfly wings on this one! I did one large and one small butterfly, in pretty classic colors. I floated them over this sweet thistle background sheet from Thoughtful Journey, too - so calming! I can't wait to see YOUR butterflies this round - meet you at the challenge! Watercolor Wings (retired 2018) & Simply Said Stamp Sets; Thoughtful Journey DSP; Basic White & Petunia Pop CS; Daffodil Delight & Early Espresso Inks; Bold Butterfly Dies (retired); 3/4" Oval Punch (retired); Petunia Pop Resin Dots; #MMM254.   Wow, another word choice - Time Out Challenge #290 wants us to pick at least 2 words from the 6 they offer to inspire our card! Let's do it! Thank goodness I had the DT samples to give me some direction of some of the words, lol, I was a little mystified on first read! But then, I got my groove! I pulled 2023's Paradise Palms, thinking I could use this set to build a good "place." Then I spotted some already cut BIG palms in wacky colors (not these, though, lol) and realized the palms would make a great "repeat," AND, if I did them in "bold" colors, that was even better! So I cut three in some brights, and floated them over a black embossed background to really make them pop! I LOVE the effect! Paradise Palms Stamp Set (retired 2023); Basic White, Basic Black, Mango Melody (retired), Melon Mambo & Daffodil Delight CS; Memento Tuxedo Black; Palms Dies (retired); 1 3/8" Circle Punch; Soft Waves EF; Solid Faceted Gems in Melon Mambo; #TOC290.   Such a fun theme at Shopping Our Stash #549 this round - "you are so SWEET!" We just have to show something sweet on our project! I decided to go fruity today - I can't think about candy since I have blood work due later, lol. I'm not sure that pineapple would be much better, but how cute ARE these guys?? I went back to my old Cute Fruit set from 2021, and it's a natural partner with our just-past SAB paper Fruit Salad! I still have a bit too much of this sitting around, lol. I pulled this orphaned piece of Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon to add a little extra, and finally finished off my Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots. SO much stash on this one! Cute Fruit Stamp Set (retired 2021); Fruit Salad DSP (retired); Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Daffodil Delight, Granny Apple Green & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Daffodil Delight Seam Binding Ribbon; Daffodil Delight Glossy Dots; #SOS549.   I love our cute sketch this round at As You See It #350! I'm still having fun playing with our preview suite, Peace on Earth - this DSP is just amazing! This paper is also teaching me how cool Cloud Cover and Secret Sea are from our latest In Colors, too. And boy are they pretty together! I couldn't help but think of our gorgeous tree trio in the just-retired Forever Forest set when I saw out little columns. I popped the plaque from the new suite behind them to help them really pop, and floated this perfect long and narrow sentiment over them. So pleased with how this came out - so elegant! I can't wait to see what YOU see in our sketch this round - meet you at the challenge! Peace on Earth Stamp Set & Dies; Forever Forest Stamp Set & Dies (retired 2025); Peaceful Garden DSP; Basic White, Cloud Cover & Secret Sea CS; Cloud Cover, Misty Moonlight & Secret Sea Inks; Night of Navy Linen Thread; Silver Glitter Sequins; #AYSI350.

I went and pulled my Real Red and Peach Pie color pads and started to look around - this is actually a bit of a tough combo for me, lol. Once I realized I felt unsure, I decided I better go CAS so it didn't go too wild, lol. I finally hit on our Hot Air Balloon stamp set - with the multi-step stamping options I figured it could be a great way to mix the colors! I went with the smaller one, and made a red basket for underneath, too. This simple encouraging sentiment seems right for the stripped down nature of the card, but I did slip on a few Peach Pie Shimmer Gems! Hot Air Balloon Stamp Set & Dies; Peach Pie DSP; Basic White & Peach Pie CS; Real Red & Peach Pie Ink; Peach Pie Shimmer Gems; #CIC619.   Man Cards 2025 June 14 at 2 pm!

I went back to 2022's Rainbow of Happiness set, and I even still had a bit of the Sunshine & Rainbows DSP that went with it, too! I have loved these sheets that have funky colored rainbows, like this one all in blues and greens! Too cute! I went with a simple DSP background, then did my own stamped version on a Stylish Circle, with the sentiment! I had a few finishes in Pool Party to dress things up a bit as well - just a happy card! Rainbow of Happiness Stamp Set (Retired 2022); Sunshine & Rainbows DSP (retired); Basic White & Granny Apple Green CS; Granny Apple Green, Pool Party, So Saffron (retired) & Memento Tuxedo Black Inks; Stylish Shapes Dies; Pool Party Shimmer Ribbon; Faceted Gems in Pool Party; #Cookie205.

I wanted to show off more of the upcoming Peaceful Garden DSP for this one - SO many pretty patterns, AND we were able to get some new Glimmer papers with it as well - I'm so bad at using these! I was proud that I slipped in a little of the blue, lol. I also tried out one of the pretty dove dies in the Peace on Earth bundle that goes with this suite - I think I did a good job adding an eye! I also used two colors of the Hues of Blue Flowers embellies, too - woo hoo! (See what I did there??) Peace on Earth Stamp Set & Dies; Peaceful Garden DSP & Glimmer Paper; Basic White CS; Misty Moonlight Ink; Layering Circles Dies; Hues of Blue Flowers; #SS777.   Man Cards 2025 June 14 at 2 pm!

Looking at that big circle in the sketch, this seemed like an awesome time to finally break in my Encircled With Love stamp set! I'd been cooling my jets waiting for the 1 7/8" Circle Punch to come in to go with it, and finally couldn't take it anymore, lol. With all the circles of everything I have around here, I can make it work! Those stripes on the side reminded me of the Mini Corrugated EF I've been playing with lately, too - it's awesome! I feel like we had another similar EF in a larger pattern, but I remember it having a lot of "draw in" (throwing in a weaver's term here, lol) when you ran it through. This Mini 3D has NO shrinkage - love that! I wound on some Linen thread to emphasize those stripes, then popped on my Thank You - so simple! I finished with a few Sea Foam Hexagons! Encircled With Love Stamp Set; Basic White, Misty Moonlight, Pool Party & Crumb Cake CS; Soft Sea Foam Ink; 1 3/4" Circle Punch; Layering Circles Dies; Mini Corrugated 3D EF; Linen Thread; Soft Sea Foam Hexagons; #IMC563.
