Nesting Congrats

7/8/2021

Goodness, how cute is the "oh, birdie" cupcake at this week's Cupcake Inspiration #522?!
I dug around a little for some "chicks," but the ones I found weren't quite right. But then I remembered that I have Birds & Branches, which has this lovely nest in it AND dies to go with! And well, I hardly ever use this set, lol. Winner winner! I decided to make a sweet congrats card, and show some pretty eggs in the nest, with the proud parents looking on. This pretty sentiment from Many Messages, which I also don't use enough, seemed just right! So cute!

I'm stoked about this week's CAS on Friday #204 - I don't often have the chance to make baby cards, and this is good push!
I can't resist pulling out my Little Elephant set for this one - I love these guys! I decided to go gender neutral with some greens today, too - so here's a look at Soft Sea Foam with with our new Soft Succulent - pretty! I kept things pretty bare for the CAS brief, but I couldn't resist a few of these Soft Sea Foam Epoxy Dots I found - at least I hope that's what color they are, lol. Let's hear it for the elephants!

Awww, Less is More #438 has a baby theme for us this week! I don't get to do too many of these!
I decided I wanted to use my Wildly Happy stamp set - I really don't ink that one up too often, AND, I've never stamped the pandas! Time to fix that! I quickly figured out that it was harder than I though, lol. Pandas, so simple, all black and white, how hard can it be?? Argh! Coloring in the markings too much obscured all their cute features, and the "sketchy" nature of the image. I finally settled on some water painting to add rough color, leaving in some detail with brushstrokes that I hope match the line art a little. I'm still on the fence about how much I like the finished look, lol. I couldn't resist a few silver pearls, too - there's no color!

We have a lovely tri-paneled sketch from Inspire Create Challenge #056 today - and I think I can sneak in The Sisterhood of Crafters' "Forest Friends" challenge, too!
So when I think "forest friends," I can't help but go straight to our sweetly gorgeous Wildly Happy set. I love all these animal families snuggling for us! I really wanted to do the fox and her kit today, and the foxy colors made me want to pull out this retired Painted Seasons DSP - I have gobs of this stuff so I never run out, lol. I've actually been trying hard to kick the hoarding habit, but this pack set off all my "mine!mine!mine!" reflexes! I think this sheet makes a sweet background for our pretty vixen!

Another fun challenge from CAS on Friday #164 - animals!
A set I haven't used much is our new hostess set, Time For Tags - we have an awesome punch for all the tag shapes included in this set! I even had my choice of animals - there's a little "for you" birdie, too, lol. Anyway, this giraffe (well, AND the pineapple, lol) are the whole reason I got this set, and, as is typical of me, I haven't used either one yet, sigh. But today is the day! I kep it pretty CAS - naked card base, a simple popped-up tag, and well, I decided to add a little bunting with our Scalloped Linen Trim - love this Purple Posy color - I'm hearing rumors that the stamp pad will be here soon!

So excited to see that Inspire Create Challenge #46 is featuring our gorgeous new In Colors, too - my second round!
This time, I wanted to get inky! Of course, I only have the four stamp pads available right now, BUT, I do have a Purple Posy marker, so I added some tiny details in that to get the full color spread, lol. This ended up being a super simple one-layer card - because I needed the full height of the card base to fit in four stars, lol! It all works out in the end! I stacked these lovelies from our adorable Twinkle Twinkle set, with a baby congrats sentiment on the insise. A few sequins, a few Puprle Posy scatters, and it's good to go! So sweet!

Time to bring on the cuteness - Inspire Create Challenge #042 has a baby theme going for us this week!
I was pretty sure I was going to do my beloved Little Elephant set for this one, which is carrying over to the new catty (yay!), but then I got to looking at Family & Friends, And then I realized I had NEVER inked any of this set up {GASP!} I'm a bit sad that this set is retiring so soon, and I still am jazzed to have it in my collection, but I have to admit, I haven't come across as many occasions to use it as I thought I would, sigh. Fortunately, there's an adorable little baby in it, just right for today's super quick and simple card! Some speedy stripes, a tiny bit of coloring in, and we are SET! Baby cuteness galore!

Aww, CAS on Friday #154 has a sweet baby challenge for us this week! I don't get to make these too often!
You know, I actually have a few sets to go for the babies these days, but I couldn't help go for A Little Wild for this one - I just love putting an elephant butt on the envelope, I guess, lol! I tried to stay true to the CAS mandate, I think I might actually be getting better at it! I still couldn't resist a few tiny sparklies, though...

I am so super excited about our first team-up challenge this year for Try Stampin' on Tuesday's #397 - we're partnering with Retro Rubber #105 - one of my faves!
I went back to the vault for today, and pulled out my all-time fave baby set - Baby Bundle from 2011! I just love the line-art images in this set, so perfect for coloring any way we want. There are a ton of adorable little baby accessories, too, including a super cute onesie on a hanger! When my daughter was small, onesies were our fave "outfit," perfect for desert living, too, lol. I took my colors from the gorgeous Twinkle Twinkle DSP, and just followed the sketch pretty closely. Ahhh, baby cuteness!
I so can't wait to see your Retro creations, I sure hope you'll come play! See you at the challenge!

Very cool - AAA #131 is changing up their format with the new year - they've offered a banded CAS sketch with an optional twist to use pastel colors - very fun!
The first thing I did was go looking for something fun to make the "bands" with - Little Elephant is perfect, especially since I haven't used it in a while! I picked out some soft and pretty colors and got to work. I did my rows first in stamped off Calypso Coral, So Saffron & Soft Sea Foam - gorgeous! Then I punched out a stamped off elephant, and added my fave sentiment from this set - the smaller elephant is on the inside! I decided to add a few Faceted Dots, since I don't use this color that much - seize the day, and all, lol...
