Enjoy the Journey (& Man Cards on June 10!)

6/2/2023

We have a super exciting theme for you this round at As You See It #300 - adventure! Also, to celebrate our BIG 300, we will have SIX winners for this challenge, one for each design team member, and every winner will be eligible for a prize from either Stampin' Up! or Clarity, depending on your market! Woo hoo! Show us what you got!
I totally knew I wanted to combine two sets for this one - the perfect sentiment is from our new Fun On Wheels set, and I HAD to create the setting with elements from our just-retired Greatest Journey suite! I still love this DSP so much, and I am prepared for a long hoarding life on this one, lol. Anyway, I thought at first I'd do something with the fun skateboard from the set, but I wanted to go all extreme for our brief! I'd say this hot pink biker is going over the top!
I can't wait to see where YOU head on your adventure - meet you at the challenge!
Fun On Wheels Stamp Set; Enjoy the Journey DSP (retired); Basic White & Melon Mambo CS; Melon Mambo Ink; Greatest Journey Dies (retired); Melon Mambo Glossy Dots; #AYSI300.

This looks like a fun one, lol, Festive Friday #134 is celebrating National Smile Day!
I knew I had to use this smiley sentiment from my Sending Smiles set - love it! I did use the other flower, though. This one reminds me of lavender, but I made it yellow for the challenge, lol. It has to be done, and I think it's great! Anyway, I have yellow, black, smile sentiment, and enamel dots - that's plenty for National Smile Day! I went a little crazy with my stems, too!

Excellent - Shopping Our Stash #494 has an "April Showers" challenge this round!
I couldn't resist going back to our cute Playing in the Rain suite for this one - I can't believe how smitten I became with this set! I went with this playful umbrella background to get started, and then decided to fussy cut a cute "extra" critter from another DSP sheet. Isn't this soggy pup darling? I did all my coordinating in Balmy Blue, even opening up this ribbon roll for the first time, lol. This let me use some leftover embellies from the coordinating Paper Pumpkin kit we had, too! I am stashing this one for sure!

Treasured Kindness (& Thank You Cards April 15!)

Such a fun checkered sketch we have at As You See It #296 this round!
I felt like this sketch called for some drama, and since the lovely tree in our Treasured Kindness set JUST arrived, I ran with that! I guessed, correctly I think, that the tree would be perfect as a large circle element, and to bump it up even more, I went rogue with colors so I could pull in the gorgeous Sun Prints DSP. I've really been playing with stamping things in non-realistic colors lately, it's growing on me!
I can't wait to see YOUR takes on our fun sketch - meet you at the challenge!
Treasured Kindness Stamp Set; Sun Prints DSP; Basic White & Sahara Sand CS; Night of Navy, Sahara Sand & So Saffron Inks; Stylish Shapes Dies; Basics EF; Enamel Dot Essentials in Night of Navy; #AYSI296.

Welcoming Window (& Pumpkin Club moved to April 1!)

I sure hope you like our fun party colors this round at Sunday Stamps #305!
Today I started my Spring drive to make sure I hunt down sets that I haven't used enough, to give them some love. Welcoming Window is one I have been fascinated with, yet somehow never seem to pull out for stamping! Since I feel like I spy a little gray in our popping colors, I settled on this one so I could sneak in some bricks to take care of the gray, then spread the rest of my bright colors over all my pieces! I wish I had a little cabin with Orchid Oasis trim - so cute!
I can't wait to see YOUR projects with our pretty colors - meet you there!
Welcoming Window Stamp Set; Basic White & Gray Granite CS; Gray Granite, Orchid Oasis, Parakeet Party, Sweet Sorbet & Tahitian Tide Inks; Basic Black Blend Marker; Window Flower Box & Stylish Shapes Dies; Parakeet Party Matte Dots; #SSC305.

Regal Reindeer (& Pumpkin Club Mar 25!)

Yay! Time for another challenge at NBUS #48! I have just the thing!
Right at the end of our Holiday Catty, the mother ship let us know that Regal Reindeer and its dies would be carrying over, but NOT as a bundle, so I quick snagged it while I could still get the discounted price. I didn't do this set at all for last year's holiday classes, so I have a feeling we'll see at this year's Christmas in July, lol. Anyway, what a great set to break in here! I had some fun setting up a little snowy scene - these reindeer really ARE regal!

Very fun - Cardz 4 Guyz #316 would like to see a "sporting chance" this round!
I decided to go with my Adventurous Journey set for this one - kayaking is a GREAT sport! I love to color this guy in, and float him over a cool puddle cut with our Diorama Dies, lol. So fun! I should add a fishing pole somehow!

My Carrot Valentine (& Pumpkin Club Feb 25!)

OK, we're going straight for the big one - Cardz 4 Guyz #315 wants a Valentine for a guy!
So, I'm all done with pink and red for this year, lol. So let's try carrots instead! I so love our Sale-a-Bration set, Thanks a Bunch, so much! We just don't have anything else like it, and it's so FUN! I decided it was perfect for a bit of vegetable love, lol. I built three grand carrots with Mango Melody and Pumpkin Pie, and gave them some Granny Apple Green leaves. A Granny Apple love banner was perfect across the bottom, and I finished with a few of the lighter Old Olive Matte Decorative Dots - just right! This so makes me giggle!

Legendary Ride (& Sympathy Cards Feb 11!)

Hm, this round's "anything goes" challenge at Can You Handle the Pressure includes a twist of "borders!"
I happen to have a new EF burning a hole on my desk right now - I HAVE to use my new Legendary Ride suite today! I decided to do a layered "border" for this one, and left a nice wide margin for my new Metal Plate EF. I did that layer in our retired Galvanized Metallic paper - love the look with my nice "chopper," lol. I added a panel of the very cool DSP, with a band of the reverse side that I also used on the envelope. I popped up my bike and sentiment, and threw on some flames at the end - I even squeezed on some "stud" embellies. Very manly, indeed, lol.
