Such a Blessing (& Pumpkin Club Sep 25!)

9/20/2021

I couldn't resist this intriguing color combo over at Hand Stamped Sentiments #372 - gorgeous!
I'm especially delighted to see Merry Merlot in this mix - I think this is one of our most under-served colors, lol. And it's beautiful! So I featured that for my "detail" picture - my background layer and the sentiment, plus my fussy-cut set of leaves from Little Delights. This set was made for making your own DSP! I chose the Autumnal leaves for this color combo, and the sentiment that went with, but then I found my remaining Gold Holly Leaves to throw on there, too - oops! I think the gold goes great with these colors, anyway!

Oh gosh, what a clever theme at this week's Cardz 4 Guyz #278 - things with tails! I laughed out loud!!
I knew right away I'd be going to that cute little bear butt in Count On Me. There's a tail there - small but mighty! I stamped him on Crumb Cake for some quick all-over color, and then used a Crumb Cake Blends Marker to highlight his detail lines. I filled in the sweet heart with Calypso Coral - not pink, but in the zone, lol. I though the bear would look great over this woodgrain sheet from the Beauty of the Earth DSP pack, and I finished with these Bronze-y Brushed Metallic Dots. I think all together it's not too foo-foo for a guy!

Such a cute inspiration pic at this week's Cupcake Inspirations #525 - love those colors!
I went back and forth and finally settled on the Measure of Love stamp set - I really couldn't help it for this challenge, lol! I know we don't have have cupcakes on our cards, but sometimes, well, it just works out that way! This is actually the first time I've used this little pyramid of cupcakes, and I decided to color with Blends, rather than use the little fill-in stamps - tasty! I kept things really simple, added some layering, and finally finished with some leftover Paper Pumpkin sequins - perfect color match!

I love the colors at this week's Hand Stamped Sentiments #369!
These colors give me a chance to break in ANOTHER new set - Nature's Harvest! I love this beautiful stem, and the wonderful sentiments are so beautiful - very heartfelt, and a mix of fonts - my favorite kind! The set is actually part of a very comprehensive suite, too - DSP, dies, embellies, specialty papers - it's all glorious! For its first time out, though, I decided to keep it simple - stamps, ink and paper, all you ever need!
Nature's Harvest Stamp Set; Basic White CS; Memento Tuxedo Black, Old Olive, Rich Razzleberry & Cinnamon Cider Inks; Water Painter; #HSS369.

And what a great chance to play with new Christmas toys, lol! Today I'm showing off the new Sweet Little Stockings suite, a stamp collection of various stockings and critters (yay!), along with the cutest DSP ever! I chose this pretty light string sheet for my background today, but there are so many sweet choices to choose from! I had to start off with the puppy today, because, well, I DO have 3 dogs snoring away under every table in my craft room right now, soooo... Not that any of them would fit in a stocking!

Retro 'Stache (& Christmas in July 7/24!!)

Oo, look at this fun sketch that Retro Rubber #162 has for us this week! Love it!
Now, I think everyone who knows me knows how much I love my shelves of retirement, lol. A quick glance at my blog history shows that I often approach HALF my blog posts being with retired stamps or toys, lol. So I have a sincere delight in this particular challenge blog (no, I'm NOT sucking up, I swear!) BUT, there's one day a year that I feel a little pang playing here, like I did today. And that would be the VERY DAY that my holiday catty pre-order arrives, lol. Not for the Annual, not for the Spring Mini, JUST for the Holiday Mini, lol. I'm such a Christmas nerd! So I consoled myself with at least the new Gingerbread & Peppermint DSP, which goes GREAT with my beloved 'stache-y Santa. Whew, consolation achieved!

We have such a pretty inspiration pic at this week's Fusion Seashells combo!
I can't resist calling on my Friends Are Like Seashells suite for this one - so sad this DSP will be gone soon with the end of the Spring Mini Catty!Today I tried out stamping my fancier shells ON different sheets of DSP - I LOVE the texture and depth this adds - I should have embossed these babies, too, darn it! I finished with a few Opal Rounds - love the sheen in these...

You Are The World (& Man Cards Class June 12!)

Woo hoo! Hope you can get in on some "square" action with us at this week's Fab Friday #215!
Normally, I'm a real dud when it comes to odd-shaped cards, even square ones, lol. I'll usually just make tiny ones, like 4 1/4" square, so they'll still fit in a regular card envelope. But I was doing some stash-diving last week and came across a little stack of 6 1/2" square envelopes - no clue where these came from! That said, I decided to go for some bigger real estate today, and managed a full 6" x 6" card, made possible by also finding some old 12" x 12" CS hiding back there, too! When I spotted this perfect Dad sentiment in Best Year, I knew I wanted to try it with my Welcoming Window, which I thought would complement the square shape. Love it!
Can't wait to see YOUR projects this week - be there or be square! Wait, be square either way!

Ahhh, it's Friday, so time for some fabulous! We've got just the thing at this week's Fab Friday #214 - how about a look at all our new In Colors?
I really wanted to offer something stamped for this one - which was a bit tough because we have so many In colors goodies to play with this year - have you checked out the Shimmer Vellum?? Di-voon! I decided to go with a "homemade DSP" look, and played with my trusty Lovely You set - look how great all the colors look TOGETHER! I might have to pick one or two new flower sets from all our new offerings, to keep this trend going!
I can't wait to see YOU projects with the new colors - meet you at the challenge!

May Good Things Grow (& Messy Class May 15!)

Woo hoo! The Sisterhood of Crafters has a theme this week right up my alley! "How does your garden grow?"
I'm thrilled to have a chance to trot out the just-retired My Meadow set - I LOVE this whole landscape-building series! I did just a little scene, with a wheelbarrow to show that work actually does get down out there, lol, and matched it with this "growing" sentiment from Dragonfly Garden. I even slipped in the gazebo on the envelope! My own garden is nothing on this lovely woodland scene, but I love it just as much - time in the garden is no time at all!
